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)

I disagree. I made it up, lol. I do that sometimes because I'm a dork.

Scream is a million, gazillion times above CITW though, imo.

I'm talking stuff like "The virgin is always the survivor" lol! That's just.... Not accurate

CITW had it right with how their "virgin" was just the less sexually active of the two and the more scholary one of the two as well. Just little things like that

I also preferred the CITW characters to Scream (Well most of them) and I like Dana more than Sidney as a lead :P

I think both are fantastic though

I like Sidney, but Dana (even if I thought she was a LITTLE bland at times) crushes her. I love Dana <3

I also like Jules and Marty more than ANYONE in Scream. Gale included. I like Curt more than most of them except like... Scream 1 Gale lol. Holden > Randy, Stu, Steve, majority of the sequel casts

Oh, and Marty >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Randy

Curt was 'meh.'
Marty was delicious.
Dana was somewhat typical but VERY likeable.
Jules was stunning, fun, and should have lasted longer.
Holden was boring but not hateable.

Sigourney and the Controllers were ALL great<3.

I thought Curt was surprisingly likeable lol. I'd sa looking back, again, my favorites changed and that Jules and Marty are my top 2. I still prefer Curt to Dana & Holden though. He really wasn't... THAT bad

Jules > Marty > Curt > Dana > Holden

I like all of them (Minus Holden) more than anyone in the Scream Sequels, and I like the first 4 more than anyone in Scream except Gale, and MAYBE Tatum in the case of Dana
