"\n\nThe Funny, Twisty Horror FlickThe Cabin in the WoodsBefore Drew Goddard got to make his directorial debut, The Cabin in the Woods\u2014a feast of horror clich\u00E9s spun into something ingeniously, hilariously meta\u2014he apprenticed under both Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and J. J. Abrams (Lost). What did he learn at the feet of the alpha and omega of modern pop culture?\u2014M.B.\"The thing I've learned from Joss is to always respect the character. If you do, the story can be ridiculous and people will relate to it. I learned from J.J. to respect the audience.

Adrien Brody plays an anguished substitute teacher assigned to the kind of hell-on-earth high school that would make Mister Rogers question his love of humanity.

Directed by Welshman Gareth Evans, the movie is one long, vicious, bare-knuckle brawl. It's astounding how many things break: walls, floors, tables, limbs, necks, skulls. \"Squeezing a trigger,\" says one psycho. \"It's like ordering takeout.\" Amen, brother.\u2014L.H.FacebookPinterestThe Master-Chef Documentary\"When we have good tuna, I feel great.
