The Cabin in the Woods (2011) is a quintessential Joss Whedon flick - irreverent, effortlessly funny, and punctuated with moments of surprisingly brutal violence.

This meta horror-comedy plays on classic horror movie tropes - a group of hot college kids are stalked and murdered one by one in a remote cabin in the woods. Boring? No way. The B plot is a workplace comedy about the office workers orchestrating the murders as part of a god-appeasing ritual.
