    That’s why I love Cabin in the woods. They make it a creepy movie, but also make fun of all the common horror tropes by having the haunted grounds be a very orchestrated event.

    “Oh no my cell phone doesn’t work” It’s because the creepy org turned on a cell phone jammer

    “Why don’t they just leave?” The creepy org blows up a shit load of tnt to make the tunnel collapse

      “Why don’t they find an alternate route out?” The creepy org put a fucking force field around the area.

      That movie definitely ventured in to silly territory, but then it was quite directly a well-meaning parody of horror movies that kinda’ HAD to get a bit silly to do too much with the premise.
