Got wood

The Cabin in the Woods ★★★
Remember the 80s? 
Remember 'video nasties'?
Remember 'Driller Killer', 'I Spit On Your Grave', 'Last House On The Left', 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', 'The Burning', 'The Evil Dead', 'Hellraiser' and 'Friday the 13th'? 
So do the people who made this.
Ever watched any of them again in the last 30 years and realised that what seemed scary and transgressive to a teenager was actually with a few exceptions fairly tedious low quality nonsense?
Although this film plays with the same ideas, it has a massive budget and a decent script.
Not scary but not scary in a knowing post-modern way, so that's ok.
