HDC Movie of the Week #6 - The Cabin in the Woods (2012)


It's got all - a nice, scary premise, a superb twist in the middle, and all hell breaking loose in the end. Excellent film.

Enjoyed it quite a bit, and I am happy to recommend it.

First in line for a sequel too, if/when it comes out.

I loved it. Its hilarious in a clever way, has a great plot and its deconstruction of horror tropes is excellent. Its also a good horror movie itself. Every horror fan should see this.

One of my favorite movies of all time.

Bumping this thread because I'm honestly curious to see if there's anyone who *hasn't* seen it...

I've sorta changed my mind after watching it again. I think it's a good movie, but not really great.


I have no idea what is going to happen after I post this. Just tell my cats that I love them.

I agree with most of this but I never liked it. I tried, viewed it twice.

I didn't care for the whole premise at all. I did like the ending, pretty nice gory pieces but the humor and characters were just mundane to me. This is just my opinion.

I enjoyed it. Thought it was clever and funny, and I liked the original premise, budget and special effects. I've always enjoyed Joss Whedon's work.

However, I didn't love Cabin. I didn't think it was great; I'd give it a 6.5/10 (7/10 in the Horror film genre). For instance, I thought Serenity was a much better film, 8.5/10. Avengers was better too.

HA - I don't go after people for their opinion anymore... I used to be very snobby and self-righteous; it's a good way to alienate people.

Gotta be careful with the word OVERRATED though; despite my neutral stance on opinions, I used it a few months ago to describe Hellraiser and an overly-sensitive little prat PM'd me and whined to me about it. Now. If THAT'S how you're going to act, then you deserve my scorn. Little bitch.

*AHEM*

It's actually interesting to read your meh reviews on Cabin; most people love so it's interesting to hear the other side.

And Sculpt - I LOVED Serenity! I actually liked it more than Firefly (and I need to rewatch both of those).


EDIT: LOL - Oops. Accidentally gave this post the little thumbs down icon... Not sure how to delete.
