SXSW 2012: Joss Whedon-produced CABIN IN THE WOODS gets short but newer trailer

All week long we’ll be telling you about the coolest stuff to do and see at SXSW 2012. Topping our Wednesday, we’ve got a new (albeit) brief trailer for the Joss Whedon-produced horror film CABIN IN THE WOODS.


Joss Whedon has so much geek cred, it’s hard to imagine him doing any wrong in the theatrical realm. This will be a big year for him too, as he not only has the South by Southwest Film Festival entry CABIN IN THE WOODS (which he co-wrote and is producing) on the horizon, but is poised to knock the box office on its butt with THE AVENGERS (which he wrote and directed) in May. CABIN takes a classic horror theme, and adds in some rather crazy twists and turns. As much as they’re trying to keep the secret stuff in the script a secret, a lot of it has already been not-so-subtly hinted at in the initial trailer.  Now we have a new trailer for ya to check out, which clocks in at a short 60 seconds, but packs a lot in that minute.  Warning – if you truly want to go in this one not knowing anything about what’s coming, you may want to skip this.  Considering everything I already know, I feel like there’s still plenty left to be revealed.

SYNOPSIS: Five friends go to a remote cabin in the woods. Bad things happen.

If you think you know this story, think again. From fan favorites Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard comes THE CABIN IN THE WOODS, a mind blowing horror film that turns the genre inside out.
