Joss Whedon's The Cabin In The Woods Gets A Twisted New Poster

It's been a long journey, but after years of waiting, Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard's Cabin in the Woods will finally be coming to a theater near you. As was announced back in July, the film is officially set to be released by MGM and Lionsgate on April 13, 2012. This puts the movie only five months away and while the hardcore Whedonites may have been thinking about the movie on a regular basis for the last three years, the project is still behind marketing-wise. Sadly we still don't know when we might see the film's first trailer (hopefully soon) but today we have a brand spanking new poster.

Check out the new one-sheet below and see it full-size over on AICN.

I actually love this poster a lot. Sure, there's a lot of negative space, but the twisted, Rubik's cube-esque cabin is absolutely brilliant and looks just weird enough to be disturbing. It's also nice to see that just because the movie has Chris "Thor" Hemsworth in it doesn't mean that they'll be using the marketing to just show off his face.

The Cabin in the Woods is a horror film directed by Drew Goddard and written by Goddard and Joss Whedon and is about a group of young adults who go on a retreat to a (you guessed it) cabin in the woods and discover a force of true evil.
