Cabin in the Woods

[Proofpoochie]

I saw this twice in theaters. I'm dying for the Blu-ray release. Best film of the year so far!

^I believe that was in a Central/South American country, and think that was a minotaur, not a truly giant monster.

I've said this before and I've said this again- I don't think most kaiju fit into the horror genre.

I can't help but agree. I mean, you find Godzilla movies in the Sci-Fi section of the video store, not the horror.

I prefer them to be Sci-Fi anyway. Horror just has that...connotation to it.

It is just me, or did Sigourney Weaver basically play the same character in Paul? She does a spooky voice over, shows up at the end, then is promptly killed.

Never seen Paul, but I've heard some people say the same thing. Paul was filmed AFTER this film, though.

Im sorry but what other similarities are there in Cabin in the Woods and Evil Dead?
I love the Evil Dead series and i haven't seen this one yet, i know they take place in a cabin but not much else. Is Cabin in the Woods a rip-off to Evil Dead?

[RedZillaKing]

No... it's not a rip off by any stretch.

No, it's not a rip-off at all. It's actually a much better horror-comedy than Evil Dead, IMO.

[Tyler]

I still prefer the Evil Dead cause it doesn't have that distracting movie-within-a-movie type feel.

[RedZillaKing]

My God... surely you mean Evil Dead 2. The first one is great as an amateur effort but dayum. Evil Dead 2 is superior in every way.

[SoleMan]

I didn't see the first one, but the second Evil Dead bored me. I mean, the hand-chopping and the Chainsaw were cool, but the rest was bullshit. Of course, I did see it on TV...

Army of Darkness though...that was bad-ass.

I don't think Evil Dead II juggles the horror/comedy feel very well. I prefer the straight horror feel of the first film and the full-on slapstick tone of Army of Darkness.

I don't think the first one works well as horror film. I always thought the poor acting and script were because the film was trying to be bad.

That's why it got popular right? It was supposed to be a serious movie, but it was soooo bad that people couldn't stop laughing at it. Then they did they sequel as a joke, and Army of Darkness was actually a real movie, right? That's the story I heard, anyway.

[Tyler]

Eh I don't think that's it either. Personally I like the DIY quality of the movie.

[The One and Only]

If MGM, the studio behind Cabin In The Woods, hadn't gone through bankruptcy, the movie would've been adapted into an expansion pack for Left 4 Dead 2. True story, ask the director.http://www.joblo.com/horror-movies/news/cabin-in-the-woods-almost-got-left-4-dead

I wonder if they would of used the actual monsters from the film instead of the regular infected for the facility portion of the level.

[Proofpoochie]

Such an awesome movie. Have seen it five times now.

[SoleMan]

I don't know if I would sit through it again (None of the Jokes would be fresh) but it was probably the best movie I've seen this year. (I mean, I liked the Avengers but...this was better)

[Hellspawn28]

I think Cabin in the Woods was a sleeper hit of this year since it did okay at the box office. This, Dredd and ParaNorman are the films that I wish more people saw in theaters.

[mecha-gino]

Okay so I've gone and FINALLY saw this film and it's good. Not the greatest horror film of all time and I kind of disagree with this one person saying it's the watchmen of horror movies but still good.

I didn't like the ending but I liked it when all the monsters got out however am I the only one who was dissapointed that there were no monster fights? Also I didn't really find the comedy that funny and the only real funny thing I can think of was when Chris Hemsworth crashed and burned.

I liked a lot of the creature designs but I wish we could of gotten an explanation for them and more on the gods, like are they actual gods or Lovecraft gods? But yeah, liked it but not the ending.
