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 THINK there is, but I'm not 100%. But I am pretty sure that they do both have the exact same special features.

Well that's a plus. Hopefully the DVD will be down to only ten bucks soon so maaaaybe I can afford it for my birthday<3. Someone remind me what the features are?

and oh! Someone who HAS the DVD or Blu Ray, can you please time the lengths of ALL of the special features? I do NOT want a repeat of Piranha 3DD (rushing out to get a DVD for the features after hearing they were great only to be disappointed by the fact that they were a total of 20 min and a commentary...).

I just gotta say this: This is easily the BEST COMEDY OF 2012!

While it may be labeled as a horror film, it wasn't actually scary at all, and for me, it was a like a dark-comedy in disguise. And here are some things as to why I think this:

First, when Marty first makes an appearance, you see him sucking on a long-ass bong while he rides a crappy old-beat car down the street. There's a start. You also have a scene that reveals that Dana is just as big of a perv as Holden is(The mirror scene). Then we skip through the movie a bit and you have two of some of the funniest death scenes, both in which I pissed myself laughing. One was Holden's RV death, and the other was Curt's death. I seriously thought he was gonna make it or something else was gonna happen, then all of a sudden, BAM! FATALITY! LOOOOOOOOLLL!!!! And i was also kind of delightful that he died like that(I don't really like Chris Hemsworth tbh). Then we go to the scene where Marty and Dana are in the elevator and it shows the shot where we see all these different zombies and creatures trapped in their glass squares, and when you look real closesly, you can see the witch,tank,and boomer from the Left 4 Dead games(NO JOKE!) I mean LOLWUT! Then when all Hell breaks loose and the creatures get loose it's a total CGI bloodbath, with some of the ways the workers and swat team dudes die being hilarious! Then towards the end Sigourney Weaver just comes out from Left Field and its just so random, like WTF!? i wish i could say that I was high when I watched this movie but I've had yet to smoke weed in my life, so no I can't say I was.

But yeah, the whole movie was just LOL,WTF, and DAYUM all described into one big word. so that's just my first thoughts on this movie. Not really a detailed review of any sort.

I loved the movie. It was a 9/10 if not 10/10, but I get why some people hate it or don't like it.

1) it may have gone over their head
2) it may not have; but they want something more original and serious
3) they are tired of all the Joss Whedon hype. (I know a few who irritate me because they jump on the bandwagon of what someone else says- nevermind they only liked Buffy before it was cool to like Joss Whedon).

CITW Features: 

BLU RAY ONLY-It's Not What You Think: CITW Bonus View Mode. Seems to be alternate (full length) version of the movie. I'll watch through it eventually)

DVD AND BLU-RAY
Full length audio commentary with Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard
We Are Not Who We Are: Making of CITW (28:33)
An Army of Nightmares: Makeup and Animatronic Effects (12:10)
Primal Terror: Visual Effects (12:07)
Wonder on Q&A. Features Drew, Joss, and some interviewer. (27:30)
The Secret Stash is two parts-
Marty's Stash (7:55) It's Fran Kanz talking about, apparently, what they had him smoking and how they did his cup bong and such
My Name is Joss And I'll Be Your Guide (5:02) It's Joss giving you a brief set tour

Good I guess, but super underwhelming coming off of H2. Then again...... It could be the ANOES Boxset

Wow I' actually surprised at how long those are. I was expecting the features to each be 5 min or less (like P3DD's lol). The first NOES boxed set was great. THe red and black one sucks ass from what I've heard.
