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.

I agree with everything Villain said!

Awesome movie.

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.

Saw it once...at a theater in Bangkok! An absolute blast! Loved it!
