CINEMABLEND.COM - It was the perfect Opening Night film, screened under less-than-perfect weather conditions.

Yet here’s how I know I adore Drew Goddard’s creature feature The Cabin In the Woods, which kicked off the 2012 South By Southwest Film Festival Friday evening with a bang, a growl, a howl, and deafening cheers. After spending more than an hour in a driving rain and bone-chilling cold outside Austin’s famed Paramount Theatre, I was tired, soaked, cranky and ready to throw daggers at any film screened. But Cabin is so purely entertaining, so fantastically imaginative, and so intelligent about its chosen genre that I’d brave similar monsoons to see it again and again...

Wow, high praise indeed! I really like the trailer and have stopped watching anything further about CITW because I don't want to spoil the experience. Now, after reading your comments, I'm definitely going.

By the way, saw a trailer at the John Carter movie for Prometheus. It looks awesome!

Exaggeration much? I stood in the rain there for over an hour and didn't even get in. I had on a short sleeve shirt and a light jacket with no umbrella (I went straight downtown after work). I wasn't even shivering. I'd do it again in a heartbeat for a chance to get in to a Joss premiere.

Hello,

I think these sorts of hyperbolic reviews do a disservice to films which are usually fun to watch but not epic game changers.

Never forget what this man is. You keep forgiving him his trespasses and speak to him as though he is a reasonable human being. You keep forgetting the things he's advocated. If you respond to this man again, you are being foolish.
