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 have to wait until next month until it comes out here lol. Anyway, I fucking loved this movie so much. ^_^

It is currently my favourite movie of the year as well and I can't really see anything taking top spot from it by year's end.

Also, I fucking loved Marty. He is one of my favourite characters of the last decade of movies from any genre. :P

LOL @_@

I think this is GREAT and all... but not that great @_@
I will say Marty is one of the few stoners in horror I like. Curt is also one of the few jerk jocks not to annoy me.
I love Jules and Dana as well but they're nothing special compared to other characters of their types
I hate nerd characters and their whiny, annoying in horror. Thank God Holden wasn't like that but he bored me to tears.

Jules > Curt/Marty (Rewatch needed) > Dana >>>>>>>>>>>> Holden IMO

This might be my favourite horror movie of all time...not kidding. It's everything I want in a horror movie. The deaths were awesome, the characters were well developed and I'm gonna watch the SHIT out of it when I buy it on DVD (not blu ray cuz i'm old school) BTW to anyone who has played Left 4 Dead, in the scene where Marty and Dana are in the elevater and the camera pans out and we see all the monsters in cubes, if you pause you can actually see a Witch, Tank and Boomer. It might just be my imagination but they look IDENTICAL. Marty>Dana>Curt>Jules>Holden. Also an honorable mention to the Dismemberment goblins and the scariest clown I have seen in my entire life, yes, even scarier than Pennywise IMO. K bye.

This isn't one of my faves, not even in my top twenty five I don't think, but I still love it.
The deaths actually UNDERwhelmed me. Especially Jules' and Curt's. I expected something much gorier tbh. The crazy multi-monster sequence at the end pretty much made up for that though.
