I haven't seen it either but this review certainly is short and to the point...

I thought it was going to be excellent from all the praise I'd read heaped on it, I'd avoided any reviews so that the "twist" wouldn't be known to me, then guessed it straight off from the very first image in the title sequence!

Okay, to be fair to the film at 45 years old, not being a fanboy and having seen naked breasts in the flesh, I'm not perhaps it's target audience. But to me, it felt tired and cynical in a lazy post modern way.

No the actual opening scene is stab 6 it end with the stab 6 on the tv credits then 2 women are argueing cos 1 hated it one gets killed then then stab 7 ends,
Later in the film he says let's watch stab 7 and it shows the very actual beginning which is stab 6,

THE CABIN IN THE WOODS

It's f*cking shit.

END OF SPOILER ALERT

It's one of the best films I've seen this year – great fun and with an interesting debate about horror films and viewership.

There's no twist in Cabin in the Woods! It's all laid out in front of you at the start. Thats the reason it fails as a straight-up scary horror film; you know more than the characters for most of the film. Unless you mean the appeasement stuff which isn't significant enough to be labelled a twist anyway really.


It's a really fantastic film and I can't wait to see it again

Just finished watching Wes Andersons Moonrise Kingdom at the local Programmkino, it you are a fan of his earlier work then this is fabulous, if not then shame on you.

My 5c on Cabin in the Woods. Awful, cliche ridden nonsense that has nothing new to say about the genre and shares similar plot elements to later Buffy episodes. I know I am in a very small minority, but I am in good company. Chris Fowlers review on his blog is spot on.

Re:View – ‘Cabin In The Woods’ « Christopher Fowler's Blog

Hmmm, I have to disagree as I thought Cabin in the woods was solid entertainment. Not at all scary but a lot more interesting than I went in expecting and pretty funny in places as well. Chris fowlers review was ok until he started raving about the nines, that movie was utter crap.

It was on Keiarts recommendation that I ordered CITW, it arrived on Blu this morning and was going to be my choice of film for tonight, that is until I found out it's faulty so I now have to wait for a replacement, gutted
