From looking at the posters it seems that they'll either make a play on typical horror movies of this day and age or fall right into the stereotype. Who knows maybe this time the characters will do everything right instead of the other way around. That wouldn't make it very interesting though. Lets face it, we like to see the bitch run in heels and break her ankle falling.

I'm always shocked how people that are clearly deeply stupid learned to use a computer...

We dont really have much to go on with this so no one can really day if it looks good or not from a poster.

Im going to wait for a trailer at least or plot and then see what I think.

Same here. Seems like some good behind-the-scenes talent involved, but it's hard to judge to much from just a poster.

Let's look at what we do know.

Drew Goddard's directorial movie debut.
Co-written with Joss Whedon.

The movie stars Richard Jenkins, and Bradley Whitford from The West Wing. The only known stars in the film, one who will take any job, and the latter who needs to take any job.

$30 million budget which is pretty standard for mid range Hollywood horror.

Being co-produced by Jason Clark is not a good sign, the guy has produced some of the worst movies I've had the misfortune of seeing.

Menina Fortunato plays a zombie, there's a merman, a werewolf, someone known as the "Glass Smash Girl", an Elevator Guard, Woman in the woods, Demo Girl, Clean man... etc...

So you can get a slight idea based on the cast.

Supposedly plenty about it is known...the "script" was already leaked.

Supposedly the film is about:
Spoiler Below

These two guys who lure 5 horror movie stereotype characters to a cabin in the woods and then have them attacked by werewolves, zombies, vampires, aliens and such. In the end when it gets down to the last person, it is revealed that it was basically all a set up for those two guy's amusement.

At least that is the word on the street...

Known characters:

Zombie, Merman, Werewolf, "Glass Smash Girl", Elevator Guard, Woman in the woods, Demo Girl, Clean man.

Not sure how those characters fit into your synopsis.

I did state werewolves and zombies...

And if that synopsis isn't correct, what exactly do you propose the "werewolf wrangler" is?

I'm actually more curious about Elevator Guard, the Clean Man, and the Woman in the Woods...

The whole movie doesn't take place at the cabin...
