Few fledgling directors can say they knocked it out of the park with their first feature-length horror film, but Drew Goddard can carry those bragging rights.
It's embedded in his personality to say that exactly, so Shock Till You Drop will do it for him: With The Cabin in the Woods, he kills it, crafting a movie that is confident, weird, scary, funny and, above all, smart. This film puts the dunce cap on a lot of self-described hip and witty horror films and kicks them to the corner of the classroom.
However, is Goddard's achievement really a surprise? He's worked on some terrific television over the last ten years, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Lost. Goddard also penned Cloverfield, which he described to us as a love letter to his wife. As they say, the guy's got chops. And like Cloverfield, in which he re-teamed with Lost producer J.J. Abrams, Cabin finds Goddard working with another prominent television icon from his past: Joss Whedon. The two collaborated on Cabin's script and Whedon produced the film, which has seen its fair share of release troubles.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
