I’ll be posting some thoughts on the films we see when I have a chance. For now, let’s begin with the world premiere of independent psychological horror film, Toad Road.

It’s been a slow summer for movies thus far: aside from the box office phenomenon that is The Avengers, the last few weeks have been filled with films that disappointed (critically, commercially and in the court of public opinion).

Cabin In The Woods is the new horror film from Buffy, The Vampire Slayer collaborators Joss Whedon and Drew Godard. Expectations (and hype) are high after well-received festival screenings and the pedigree of the behind the scenes talent (which includes A Nightmare On Elm Street‘s Heather Langenkamp?!).

The first half of the following piece is for people who want a quick review to decide whether or not to see the film. The second half is for people who have seen the finished product.

The Hunger Games, the smash literary phenomenon, about a dystopian future in which 24 children fight to the death gets the big screen treatment as Lionsgate aims to kick-start a new franchise. So how does the film fare?
