The Cabin in the Woods is Scream for what Joe Bob Briggs used to call «Spam in a cabin» flicks, in which a group of nubile youngsters piles into
an unreliable junker to spend a fateful weekend in some backwoods hick oasis where they're picked off, one by one, by some combination of demons and Ted Nugent.
That's a bit like saying that you have two cars outside your house, one a brand new Volvo and the other a
junker with dodgy brakes that you dearly love despite it being
unreliable and unsafe; you're only going to the corner store, so why would you not take the
junker?
