I love this movie so much
Don't Believe the Hype
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The Film is a great satiric masterpiece look at the horror genre and it seems there are only two groups of people, those who understand the cleverness of the film and love it and those who dont.
This movie was freaking AWESOME! If you're not into horror, you probably won't like this movie as much as I did. This is a pure and simple dark parody of the typical stereotypes of the horror genre. Chris Hemsworth was excellent as Curt delivering one of his best performances in his career. Fran Kranz plays the typical stoner, Marty, who I personally think was the best and the most likable of the five teens. If you go into this movie with an open mind expecting a creative, horror comedy you will LOVE this movie. 10/10
I loved this movie so much that I watched it about 15 times. Super original. The very first time they show the young adults who are going to have an adventure in the woods I was like: Come on, look at this! So freakken cheesy!! The cute blond girl, the sport guy, a pothead... DÉJA VU THOUSANDS OF TIMES!!! THIS MOVIE SUCKS!!! But I kept watch it and loved it. The story is excellent.
Cabin in the Woods is like a horror comedy. There's lot of humor amidst some of the gore. It doesn't take itself seriously yet the horror is well done and the effects are first rate too. In a genre like this, one would expect lot of jump scare scenes but this movie doesn't offer much of that. Instead it offers a variety of hideous creatures, zombies or spooky beings(an army of nightmares..) and also nice suspense. The entertainment is especially towards the final scenes when all of these monsters go out on their bloodthirsty rampage. It was comical yet a satisfying feast of mutilation & slaughter :) But the gore is also not too graphic in my opinion, they keep a balance because I think the intent is to simply entertain at the end of the day. The cast performance is good especially by Fran Kranz as the constantly "high" Marty. Wish there were more scenes of Thor, I mean Chris Hemsworth in this movie but does his support role well enough.The only flaws I could think of are the final scenes again. Although it was fun to watch all the monsters on the loose, it felt as though there were too much of these things running all over the place and that messed up the spook factor a bit. I also didn't like how it ends - how the "ancient ones" reveal themselves in the end was a disappointment.Verdict - a typical slasher, horror movie that blends well with your popcorn & soda, don't expect too much that's all..
