Movie Talk: Cabin in the Woods

JBird · 09-08-2013

I watched this last night on a whim (via Netflix Instant), and it is still an enjoyable film. I'm not even that big into horror movies, but the meta-nature of the plot is what made this watchable, for me. Most horror movies before had just been paint-by-numbers snuff/gore films, and that's not even counting the torture porn.

But the main reason I would ever watch Cabin in the Woods is for the third act, when everything hits the fan. And it's fun to try to point out what kind of monster they used, and what was used just because it would be hilarious (ie, the unicorn).

This film makes me want to see a remake of the Monster Squad from Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard if it meant we can see their take on the Universal monsters, and maybe some more added it for flavor.

What did you guys and gals think of this movie?
