New Japanese Poster For THE CABIN IN THE WOODS Spoils The Big Twist

I dont know what to think about that flick. kinda stupid but kinda good too.

Y'know I liked this movie. It was pretty different, and humorous at times. I liked the girl makin' out with the moose... er ... mysterious creature... uh... well Y'know.

... Movie was... meh

can't beleive Whedon wrote such a shitty script.

I wanted to like this movie but it wasn't scary at all. I thought it was going to be a horror movie first with some comedy here and there, but it was just a comedy to me at best. Best part was the unicorn killing.

LMFAO how they gonna put that on the poster man

it kind of sucks that they elude to the cubes being under the cabin. And damn, I'll never get to see the mermaid.

DexterMorgan75@ It's what the guy in the movie says, when he realises Japan dropped the ball.

*one, not on.

Shamo@ Wait, now Cabin in the Woods is shitty? Are you trollin' or trippin'?

Actually the article title is the spoiler.

I haven't seen the film yet but hopefully I can see it soon. Joss is the MAN!! (FYI I am new to this website so hello)

I am with ELgUaSoN, I love this movie... I really do.

@ManofSuperGuy: People who aren't getting certain events in the film are missing the metaphor. The entire film is a metaphor that plays on the cliched tropes we've all come to know and, apparently, expect.

Why didn't the girl didn't just kill the guy and save the world? That's asking for the cliched ending and now you're apparently feeling that the entire film is off somehow because they didn't go there. As such, you are rejecting the film.

Think about that for a moment and then consider what is happening in the film. The technicians are the movie makers. They need to create a ritualistic grand performance, meaning certain things have to happen a certain way else the Old Gods, who have become desensitized to the old rituals, will not be entertained and reject the sacrifice.

The betting pool? Filmmakers are always hoping on what new trend or monster will be popular. The pheromones and alterations the technicians were making? Scripts never go directly from pen to film; there are always re-writes, even during filming, and studio interference (the phone call from "upstairs").

In that context, who do you think the Old Gods represent in the metaphor? Us; we're the Old Gods desensitized by decades of cinema, no longer satisfied by simple plot lines (a girl in a volcano, for instance) yet still requiring ritualistic cliches else we reject it (the hand coming out to obliterate the movie's world).

By demanding (in a manner of speaking) a cliched ending and not getting one, you've completed the metaphor by "[liking] it until [you] reached the end". The ritual (the cliches) were not complete and thus you've rejected the filmmakers sacrifice.
