Even if you don’t think The Cabin in the Woods was the best movie opening last weekend, surely it was the best horror-comedy opening last weekend…or was it? While all of the genre focus has been on Cabin over the past week, Detention quietly snuck into theaters with as much energy, innovation, style and intelligent humor as its bigger, more well-known competitor. Read about it in my review of Detention.

The Cabin in the Woods didn’t exactly take the world by storm during its opening weekend like that OTHER Lionsgate film, but it made a solid $14.9 million — good enough for third place at the box office — which was on par with expectations.

Much to many horror fans’ dismay, writer-director David Gordon Green announced in 2008 that he was trying to put together a remake of the original ballet-centric horror film (take that, Black Swan), Dario Argento’s classic Suspiria. That dismay could soon turn to abject terror with news that the project is finally coming to fruition. According to The Hollywood Reporter, filming on the remake is scheduled to begin in September with Green, who wrote the script, behind the camera. I think I speak for every genre fan when I express the hope that he decides to channel his acclaimed early indie dramas (George Washington, All the Real Girls, Snow Angels) more so than his recent stoner comedies (Pineapple Express, Your Highness, The Sitter). Although no casting for the Suspiria remake has been announced, it seems like a safe bet that at least it won’t star James Franco in a wig a tutu.
