Cabin in the Woods [2012][views:6433][posts:26]________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 9:01am - KEVORD ""] Saw it last night. Pretty fantastic deconstruction of the horror genre. When the shit hits the fan in the 3rd act I marked out big time.Don't go into expecting a straight horror flick. It's more Shawn of the Dead than Dawn of the Dead. |
| ____________________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 9:05am - arillius_the_white ""] lol @ people going to this thinking it's a straight horror flick |
| ________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 9:06am - KEVORD ""] The only bad reviews I've read are people who thought they were going to see Wrong Turn 362. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 9:10am - Mark_R ""] Trying to get my roommate to go see this but they're busy all week, pffft |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 10:07am - aaron_michael ""] Thinking of going to see this tomorrow morning. I heard the ending was just a chaotic shit show of "mythical cameos". |
| _________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 10:14am - KEVORD ""] I don't want to ruin too much but it's a blood bath. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 2:13pm - trioxin_245 ""] I didn't watch a trailer or read about this at all, I just immediately wrote it off because it was called "Cabin in the Woods" but if it's in parody then it makes sense that it'd be a stupid name. Might see. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 2:28pm - KEVORD ""] Giving it a generic name like Cabin In The Woods is a play on the generic nature of most horror films which is a running theme of the movie. It's not so much a parody. Rather the characters are forced into stereotypical horror plot points. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 2:35pm - Mark_R ""] Seeing Joss Whedon's name in the produced-by credit was the deal-maker for me. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 2:39pm - KEVORD ""] I was a fan of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. Good stuff. A lot of people probably avoided it because of the Buffy title but the series had some great horror episodes like Hush. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 2:40pm - Mark_R ""] I actually have never seen Buffy (weird, I know) but I immediately recognized Fran Kranz in the Cabin trailer (the scientist guy from Dollhouse) |
| ________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 2:50pm - KEVORD ""] I highly recommend the Buffy series tons of monsters and people getting killed. Not the teen drama that most people assume it was. |

It's not so much a parody. Rather the characters are forced into stereotypical horror plot points. while we're on the subject, has anyone ever seen that movie Behind the Mask? I thought it was pretty clever and well done, albeit a little vain. [img] |

| ________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 3:35pm - KEVORD ""] Behind the Mask is good. They have a kickstarter for a sequel. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 6:37pm - DaveMaggotCOTDS ""] the movie is amazing, and pretty much ruins all upcoming horror for me. horror movies gotta bring their goddamn A game from now on. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 18,2012 6:38pm - DaveMaggotCOTDS ""] cabin that is. not behind the mask. though that was pretty good too. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 31,2012 8:41am - AndrewBastard ""] watching this last night...kinda cool. kinda stupid. at least it was different. |

| ________________________________________ [Aug 31,2012 9:03am - Bradsauce NLI ""] Dude, "Hush" is a fuckin killer episode. Season 4, episode 10. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 17,2012 7:55pm - the_reverend ""] just put on |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 17,2012 8:46pm - Boozegood ""] Chiming in for Buffy. Avoided it growing up because it was FOR CHIX obviously, but it rules. Also a lot of solid out of place 90s type stuff. bennyhillifier |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 17,2012 9:43pm - nekronaut ""] Movie sucked. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 18,2012 9:12am - the_reverend ""] oops... I hit play and passed out in about 2 minutes. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 18,2012 10:23am - posbleak ""] Not a Whedon fan but I really enjoyed the first 2/3rds of this movie, sort of fell apart at the end Going in knowing absolutely nothing about the movie helped a lot |
