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)

MHM, it's not even close IMO.
They're called opinions <3

I can name a million things this did better (characters, originality, accuracy of cliches, etc.)

I like Scream more even though Cabin is smarter and more fun to watch. don't kill me plz </3

I really love this film and I would put it in my top 50 films but it has a hard rewatch value for some reason for me.

Not really...

I legitimately think it's a better movie, far deeper, and far more original + intelligent
Then again I also belong to the Cult of Whedon XD

This is probably the first film that I had a ton of people tell me to see that wasn't over hyped and overrated. Avatar and Hunger Games didn't deserve praise and, while I do love this movie, Scott Pilgrim wasn't as good as people said. Dana and Marty were my favorites but Jules, Holden and Curt were great to. The people at the lab were a great way to symbolize the audience and Sigorny Weaver was the perfect cameo. Overall a great film.

I think it's a tad overhyped but I still really loved it.
