Holy shit. HOLY SHIT. This was insane. Easily one of the craziest, most imaginative films, horror or not, I've seen in a long time. Always kept me guessing, and the giant rampage...THAT RAMPAGE. Was very welcome, 'cause I had literally thought, "man, I wish we could see some of those instead of the zombies guys" when the big betting board was shown. Nice sprinkles of tongue-in-cheek too. I think one of the best parts was how you didn't know who to cheer for by the end. The protagonist who you've watched live and fight for their lives, or the antagonist who are doing a dirty deed for the good of the entire world?

Ya' know, this was almost too big for a movie. I could see this as a TV series or mini-series. Different episodes could show us successful rituals, rituals that go only a bit astray, rituals from the others cultures, show us a different monster for each one, and all while hinting and poking towards the whole ancients thing. The finale would be the crew of the movie of course, with all the creatures from previous rituals showing back up for the climatic massacre.

That would be a cool idea. This movie was so crazy and original. I loved every second of it!

Sorry, it's just hard not to talk about the film. There are so many great moments.

Oh, and who else loved seeing a certain horror icon near the end of the film? :D

While the critics love the movie, there has been a lot of the negativity on twitter and facebook. Seems to be from people who went in expecting a serious horror film. CinemaScore polls reported that the average grade moviegoers gave the film was C and D+ from female moviegoers. The movie does have a budget of 30 million, I doubt it's going to flop.

That's because the "average moviegoer" is too stupid to realize that what they were expecting was as stupid as they are, and they couldn't accept something that wasn't what they expected or were used to. They also did not understand, or did not appreciate that another huge part of the movie is making fun of the stupid masses. The whole movie is like a cinematic inside joke, but on a grand scale.

I just saw it, I enjoyed it.... It REALLY picked up towards the end which is what made the movie for me an probably most people that saw it.

Some great skreeonk horror icon's were in it, an LOL at Merman comment... You seriously gotta watch it to understand why it's funny.

I can understand people wanting to talk about it, i do to but ill respect people who haven't seen it yet.. It's worth the watch, def continue watching till the end it's the best part that's all i'll say for now.

The CG was pretty decent to me, it's not great but I seen much worst. Most of the effects were practical, so it's not like you can tell that if it was CG or not.

That's a little harsh. It's odd that other people don't like it, but insulting their intelligence seems a bit too extreme.

No. No it isn't. The average American movie goer is a moron. Box office numbers support this.
