I'm sure you've been there before; you're thoroughly enjoying a clever movie and then the credits roll, the lights come up, and the people behind you open their big dumb mouths. "I would of rather watched 'Spongebob," the person behind me said to his friends as "The Cabin In The Woods" ended. Now I have nothing against our yellow spongy friend, nor do I really have anything against others opinions about art, I mean it's all subjective. That being said though, it is daunting sometimes when someone has such an opposing viewpoint to yours when you both just experienced the exact same thing.
I don't watch a lot of modern Horror films, so to be fair I'm not exactly in-tune with what the modern Horror fan likes. My big criticism of modern Horror is that it tends to lack any sense of fun or originality, two things "The Cabin in the Woods" has no shortage of. Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard's satire of Horror tropes is both fun and original, but unfortunately for some, it's not very scary. Once again, I suspect that expectations will play a big part in how much you enjoy "Cabin in the Woods."
