The Cabin in the Woods

Count on the KCFCC to provide the Oscar race with some good common sense. With age comes wisdom, and this is one of the oldest existing film critics organisations in the world, I believe, having been founded back in 1966. Good choices cross the board here, except The Cabin in the Woods, which wins 'Best Science Fiction, Fantasy or Horror Film'. I had a fantasy once. It was that The Cabin in the Woods was a good film, worthy of awards recognition. This, however, is just a horror.
