Just perfect...
... View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
... View MoreThe movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
... View MoreWhat i thought would be a good horror film turned out to a totally random waste of an hour and a half. With no real build up to get into the characters, then straight into unrealistic zombies running round. Should be down as a comedy
... View MoreWhy did that technician (Richard Jenkins) say to Dana; "It's you", and who was he asking her to kill? Surly he's not talking about the "he" attached to that massive hand. What makes Cabin In The Woods fresh, is just how it juxtaposed the mayhem with the habitual day-to-day, even though this particular day-to-day is pretty, unpretty.Somehow, going from just 5 normal millennials on their way to an enjoyable getaway from the city, to gods, magic, zombies and the world ending, felt as seamless as a jump like that can be, I suppose. In 1 hour, Cabin In The Woods did what The Fast and Furious franchise needed 15 years to accomplish, (Dom and team going from stealing appliances, to saving the world and stopping "World War III") and it's still arguable if whether or not it was accomplished plausibly.I also feel like this movie was giving major nods to a plethora of age old monsters and demons, and that felt like an awesome touch. The elevator scene seriously made me wish that 1; This film had a bigger budget, because all those monstrosities coming together like that was just, so much fun and 2. Yeah, that this film was part of a multiverse (I guess we are in that "age" now, and Joss assisted in creating monsters like us).Towards the end however, the film started falling a little flat, and becoming less charming. Events started feeling too coincidental in too many a consecutive sequence, but seeing killer unicorns was pretty cool; all that was missing was the deadliest monster of all, Cupid. 7/10.P.S. Chris Hemsworth's American accent is abysmal. I still like him though, but seriously, it's terrible.
... View MoreBeing frightened is a peculiar emotion. I'm sure there are hundreds of psychological and philosophical theories and papers out there dealing with this subject. We could say that "scary" is generally a negative adjective, but you can't argue with the thrill we feel in situations as such, be it a ghost story, a roller-coaster ride or even witnessing a car crash. Horror movies, I guess, are one of the safest ways of experiences these emotions. There are different methods of going about making a successful horror movie, successful in the sense that they manage to effectively scare the audience and please them at the same time.This movie has the "scary" part hands down, the beginning of the movie is a mix of calm scenarios intersected by sudden scenes changes, usually accompanied by music. I guess its a good setup, and they managed to glue my eyes to the screen. But as the story unfolds, it becomes more and more idiotic, with the last scene completely destroying any chance the movie had of being even remotely thought-provoking.If you're interested in the horror genre, I'm sure you can find much better options.
... View MoreIt is supposed to be a parody but it is not funny. It is supposed to be a horror and it is not scary. It is supposed to be a fantasy.. well i guess that is the only part they got right. It looks more like a copy cat than a parody. Many effects are cheesy. Acting is not the worst but it's close. It is a complete disaster.
