The Cabin In The Woods (2001)

The Cabin In The Woods, a rare horror-comedy mash-up, managed to gross almost $66 million.  Actors Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchinson, Kristen Connolly, and Richard Jenkins were praised for clever performances as well as setting a unique tone.

Eventually, it is revealed that the “monsters” the cast has been dealing with have operators, people behind the scenes calling the shots. As the characters come to this revelation, we are every bit as surprised as they are.
