Cabin in the Woods is, easily, my favorite movie of 2012 so far. I though all 5 main characters were likeable, though Holden and, at the start, Dana were rather bland at times. I <333 Jules, Marty, and Curt. The plot itself was genius. The kills were good, especially the very first one! o_O I think the comedy was AMAZINGLY well timed and clever as well. The lab touch was an amazing, clever addition as well (And would've made the film work even if it DIDN'T deconstruct the genre) I honestly.... don't have a single complaint with this film except that I wish Holden was characterized better and that I wish Jules & Dana swapped roles (But that's a personal thing lol. It's more fitting that they had the roles they did TBH) I LOVED the meaning of this especially lol. How it's symbolizing the audience and how audiences demand the same thing again and again with horror. I really, really hope the genre listens to its criticisms and starts doing new things (It SLOWLY has but... not fast enough for me lol)

And as far as satirizing horror goes, I think this slaughters every single Scream film. ESPECIALLY the sequels.

Seriously, this movie- (luvzombie)

okay nobody be mad at me but i hated this movie, the only good scene was the part where all the monsters were coming out of the elevator going out of control and attacking each other, that was crazy fun to watch.

Did you get what the movie was a metaphor for? That's one of the things that made it work most for me

And more specifically, why'd you hate it? The acting was good, the comedy was actually funny, the effects were fine. I don't get the hate lol

Excellent movie !!!!
Also my favourite so far this year, despite it being a comedy horror, which i tend to hate this film smashed it !!! Glad i went to see it at the cinema, really smart film, well sscripted and put togeather with no end of horror tributes ad hommarges to other films; i liked this even more than Tucker & Dale if im honest :):) fabtastic fun !! :P
I feel sorry for people who went in expecting an actual horror film, i got told before hand it was funny so enjoyed it thoroughly especially the explosive ending ! 10/10.
What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again? An instant of pain, perhaps. Something dead which still seems to be alive. An emotion suspended in time. Like a blurred photograph. Like an insect trapped in amber. A ghost is me.

I thought the film was a pretty good popcorn flik and i will be buying a copy but i still prefer scream & behind the mask: the rise of Leslie Vernon as horror satires, i found cabin in the woods a bit pretentious & fanboys in other groups am in have kinda put me off this film a bit, its actually one of the only horror films i dont like to discuss online anymore because insane fanboys just mess up any serious discussions, you have some banging on about this will win a oscar & claims that this film will change the game & future of all horror, then there are the people who think this is the most multi layered complex thought provoking film they have ever seen ..... the kind of fans that bummed the shit out of shutter island & inception when they came out. Yey a dream within a dream! lets start wanking all over each other...

I like ALL the ones you listed lol! (Except Mask which I gotta see) so I'm not insane lol

I DO think CITW did a better job of deconstructing the horror genre than Scream, but that because I don't think Scream was accurate

scream & cabin are very diffrent & set out to achive diffrent things, wes wasnt going all out to do what cabin tried he was still putting together a genuine slasher.
I liked inception & thought shutter island was ok as a one time watch but seriously some of these fanboys are off there fuckin rocker with how much they bum these films its almost as rediclious as the dark knight rises & avengers fanboys who started arguing which films best before either were even fucking made!


What does "ID" mean?
