Wow; this movie was definitely not what I expected. It reminds me of the first time I watched "From Dusk to Dawn" - several distinct parts of the movie that take some wicked turns.

Definitely a different twist on the horror genre. The last third of the movie was intense - loved it!

Oh, and I wouldn't mess with that frog! ;-)

Outstanding. Managed to see this on the Silverscreen - very lucky!

A horror film that is more psychological thriller than horror. There are some interesting elements in the mix but fails to truly rise to the occasion. I wanted a Promethus-like moment of 'meeting the gods' that didn't exist.

Achei uma bosta..

A film for anyone who has ever complained that they don't make good, original horror films anymore.

I’m gonna come out and say it. The Cabin in the Woods is a straight up masterpiece! A must see for every horror fan that has ever felt bored or irritated by the over use of cliches left over from the 80s. While most discussion around this film tends to revolve around the genius call-backs to classic horror films and Easter eggs but I believe focusing on these elements does a disservice to the film as a whole. This is far more than a serious of Easter-eggs. All of the horror elements are genuinely effective (especially Jules’ death scene), all the humour lands perfectly and the third act says everything that Goddard and Whedon wanted to say about the horror genre. “We would rather let everyone die than let the old gods have their way.” It is a truly remarkable film that needs to be seen again and again to be fully understood and appreciated.

"I'm sorry I let you get attacked by a werewolf and then ended the world."

I love that this can take a genre with so many clichés and just flip everything on its head. The third act is so bat shit crazy, I love it! Richard Jenkins is a delight to watch.

Very Boring and extremely overrated.

funny!

This movie was one big WTF moment! xD

Good movie! I was kinda disappointed at first for the beginnings seems more like a comedy than a horror movie but it gets deeper as the story goes. Definitely worth checking out.

Normally not my kind of movie, but I watched it because of Joss Whedon.

It gets pretty interesting after ~45 minutes.

Definitely not what I expected. Might even want to add "Comedy" to this one. If you're expecting a scary/horror movie by itself you'll be disappointed; if you kind of know that it's mildly scary with a sort of 80's, campy-ness you'll enjoy it much more. The plot is actually pretty cool and I could see the same storyline being great if done more in-depth by a true horror movie director/writer.

Nonetheless, I can see this movie having a bit of a cult following down the road.

Did someone pause on the "betting board"? Witches, sexy witches, Yeti, goblins, Unicorn, a lot more... And Kevin! Now I wonder what would Kevin be like? :)

Now we know why they're always dumb and horny ;)

Strange, I know I saw this in the cinema during its theatrical release a decade ago and I remember not getting all the hype. Well, 10 years on and I can't for the life of me understand what that kid didn't get about the refreshing, creative and innovative horror film that is _The Cabin in the Woods_. It has comedy, action, horror and an original idea that's expertly treated. I don't know, remind me to re-watch all the films I don't like in ten years, I guess.

The Cabin in the Woods really gets better every time you watch it. I really enjoy the way they deconstruct my favorite genre. The way the spoof things in a great way. It's well written but what do you expect with Josh Whedon being the writer! And all those monsters! So fun to see. Every time I watch this film I try to see which ones I recognize.

Anyway, the cast is really likeable, the jokes land, the suspense is great, loads of blood, monsters, horror tropes and what not. If you like the horror genre and you haven't seen this one yet, give it a watch! One of the best horror films of the past decade!

An ingenious vehicle for poking and prodding the clichés present in almost every horror movie made over the last thirty years. Part self-referential tongue-in-cheek a'la the first Scream and part identity crisis horr-edy in the same ballpark as Shaun of the Dead, it adds a bevy of original salts and spices and emerges as something completely different. I was told to avoid spoilers like the plague, and I'd strongly advise you to do the same - it's not a premise that translates well to explanation, and half the fun lies in the viewer's slow internal realization of where it's headed.

Brilliantly paced, unrelentingly funny, thoroughly unpredictable and boldly written, (with an ending so ballsy and appropriate, I wanted to stand up and cheer) this is one of the brightest, most daring, original efforts I've seen in years. Great fun that may be directed particularly at hardcore fans of the genre, it's just opaque enough for casual viewers to have a ball, too.
