[@nedzed3663]

There's another really heady one from this era based on a book called John Dies at the End. It's about other dimensions and human perception, but definitely a horror comedy, with plenty of gory bits common in the genre. I think what made this movie work as a good horror comedy was the actual horror and kills weren't actually played for laughs, every character was playing all the horror straight

[@GruffyddFO4]

If you haven't seen it yet (I did a quick search and didn't see it on your list), another wonderful horror comedy - and one you definitely should go into blind - is Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. Loads of fun.

[@DW.Strangeman]

​@@GruffyddFO4a must see and getting the attention it deserves on reaction channels this year(finally) 😀

[@troublesomebirdsong]

I love the inference that we the audience are in fact the Old Gods who need to be appeased, because we're the ones watching a group of people die gorily for pleasure, whenever we watch a horror movie. We're the ones who understand the film narratives and expect the tropes to play out a specific way.

[@DW.Strangeman]

@troublesomebirdsong definitely agree. It took me a rewatch to figure that out but does change the way you see the film when you watch it again... But, as films implies, I am a God and I do need to be appeased, just wish Hollywood would take note and stop churning out rubbish!(this film and many others not included... You know what I mean)👊😁

[@explodingplant2]

yep. The ritual failed in 98. The horror movie of that year was the Faculty which did not follow the final girl structure.

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

And the crew running the ritual is Hollywood. Mediocre horror is the only thing other than comic book franchises keeping them alive.

[@tomesofawesome8041]

@@explodingplant2 Also explains why they claimed the failure was due to the pharmecutical department...

[@tomesofawesome8041]

And when the universe gets stale, along comes Jordan Peel to strip it all away and create something new....

[@LordVolkov]

I really enjoy that the gimmick is presented up front, and distracts from the twist, which is that all the kids are sacrificed wrong - Dana is the 'wh*re', sleeping with her married professor Jules is the fool, always joking around Curt is the scholar, as he is more well read on a subject than a professor of that subject Holden is the athlete, catching a blind pass from across the street And Marty is the virgin, who briefly dated Jules but 'nothing happened'

[@PrinceIMC]

I’ve seen this movie 10 times and never thought of that.

[@Connor_Arbuthnot]

@@PrinceIMC same. This movie continues to surprise me with how deep it is.

[@DW.Strangeman]

@LordVolkov that's a really good spot and anyone rewatching it will be able to see what you mean. Dana sleeping with her prof is right at the start and mentioned again when she's kissing Holden. Marty actually refers to Curt being a scholar(? Something similar) and asks when he became a jock and it was made clear Jules was being affected by her hair dye and wasn't the stereo typical, slasher "blonde bimbo". Marty pretty much said it himself, but I never got Holden as the jock until you said it... Kicking myself now because (in hindsight )it's so obvious, there was only one option!🙄😂

[@LordVolkov]

@@DW.Strangeman I didn't catch the Holden one either for a couple watches. His and Marty's are the most subtle.

[@DW.Strangeman]

@@LordVolkov Marty was one which could have gone either way, such a likeable character that there could have been the "Lloyd Dobler" effect. Holden dodging a car and catching the ball, also being ripped is something I never really took notice of. Also, him being so intellectual threw me off, got too caught up in the stereo types horror movies. Should have known better with Joss Wheden🙄

[@Khay-77]

I love that this movie is a perfect alibi for every dumb horror movie ever made. It answers all of the horrible decisions and tropes of characters and why they would do something so stupid in the moment.

[@zeldangerous]

“Oh, come on!” Merman payoff with the blowhole spray was incredible. Such an enjoyable movie to rewatch or watch with friends who know nothing. I hope you get the opportunity!!

[@tomesofawesome8041]

Watch the special features some time. This film was a perfect blending of talent. They made over 50 ORIGINAL HORROR MONSTER CREATURES/ANAMATRONICS FOR THIS FILM !!! All because Joss Whedon happened to write the words, "There is chaos on every screen" in his script ! ROFLMAO

[@carlgibson285]

Like you, I went in blind when I first saw this movie and I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. I was expecting something like Evil Dead, and while we did get parts of that, we also got a movie than not only poked fun at all the tropes and clichés of other horror movies, it also made it possible for all those other horror movies to exist in the same universe and explained why the characters in those movies always act in such a dumb way. It's a great idea executed almost perfectly.

[@OXO1952]

Fun fact - Jules was played by New Zealand actress Anna Hutchinson. She is famous for also playing the Yellow Jungle Fury Power Ranger!

[@CleansHaven]

The fun fact is she's played by an actress?

[@ArmouredPhalanx]

This was a fun (and funny - definitely a horror comedy) look at horror movie tropes and meta commentary on the horror genre. There's a lot of references to other horror movies and games throughout (there was meant to be a Left 4 Dead movie tie in level made for the game, but it fell through when the movie got shelved for a couple of years, but you can see some of the L4D zombies in the monster warehouse if you look closely). On that note... Chris Hemsworth actually filmed this before he was chosen to play Thor, if memory serves, but the movie release got delayed for a couple of years, so Thor ended up coming out first.

[@1amazeme]

The guy who played Marty, Fran Krantz, is part of Joss Whedon’s group of actors about the same time as this movie. He was in Dollhouse as a high functioning scientist and inventor and had a role in Much Ado About Nothing.

[@faureamour]

I can never remember the actor's real name. I see him and always just think Topher.

[@EvanSawyer4]

Also, this comment has to be at least once in every comment section about this movie (lest the ancient ones rise). Marty doesn’t go shirtless at the lake because Fran Kranz is also ripped!

[@computerfreak247]

I like that you didn't do a preview segment, just jumps right into it 👏

[@PrinceIMC]

Chris Hemsworth had already auditioned for Thor by this point but hadn’t gotten it. Joss Whedon the writer told him to try out for Cap while Drew Goddard suggested he try again for Thor. The first Twilight movie was also shooting nearby in the same woods. And the guy who plays Marty “the fool” was actually so jacked physically that he looked as much of a jock as Jesse and Chris so he never takes his sweater or shirt off. Lots of the monsters are based off of various other movies like the guy with the weird ball and saw blade in his head is sort-of Pinhead from Hellraiser.

[@christopherschreiber5805]

Marty lives!! At least until the end of the movie haha. One of my all-time favorite reveals. How can you not love a horror movie where the stoner not only doesn't die, but is kind of the champ?

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

FYI, the ending song is amazing even on its own. It's "Last" by Nine Inch Nails.

[@Dylan_Platt]

Fantastic reaction. One of the cleverest, most fun movies of the last couple of decades. Very interesting to see you come to this one with relatively little genre experience, and yet you followed its twists and turns much better than some other reactors I've seen. Definitely a flick that benefits from repeat viewings, and there was a ton of fascinating behind-the-scenes stuff on the Blu-ray that's probably somewhere on KZbin -- highly recommended.

[@kaiielle]

Thanks so much! I know this movie probably would have been more impactful if I had seen more horror movies in my life, but even without that I still had a fantastic time!

[@Jontor11]

Drew Goddard is such an amazing writer. He first showed up in the last season of Buffy and then its spin-off Angel, writing some of the best episodes. Other great movies by him are Cloverfield, Bad Times at the El Royale, and of course The Martian.

[@obscillesk]

oh damn, man's just a hit maker in my book, Bad Times is lowkey pretty great, I thought that had a weird Tarantino vibe without being Tarantino

[@justinchristoph3725]

You just know that the people putting this move together had a lot of fun doing it.

[@DaveTingwaldd]

Hi Kaiielle. I had to watch one of your reactions now after seeing you in Cassie's reaction chat. I LOVE Cabin in the Woods. It is truly one of a kind!

[@kaiielle]

Hi! Oh it was fantastic 😁 Thanks for watching!

[@alalcoolj216]

I'm not a horror fan, but I really enjoy this movie, which I saw in the theatres with a large group of Whedonverse/Firefly/Buffy fans (Drew Goddard was a writer on Buffy/Angel and Joss Whedon co-wrote and produced Cabin in the Woods). I'd describe the film as a deconstruction of the horror genre. And Marty is my favourite too. My fun fact is that I've been in those woods and seen that cabin. A lot of the movie was filmed in Robert Burnaby Park in the Vancouver area, and that's where they built the cabin. I wandered through the whole outdoor set one weekend when they weren't filming. The movie is less scary when you know there's a frisbee golf course just a few minutes walk from where the cabin sits. 😆

[@dustyb58]

I've always liked the girl who plays Dana but never realized how much she reminds me of Ashley Johnson, who's in a bunch of other Joss Whedon things.

[@kaiielle]

They do look pretty alike!

[@jhornacek]

This is a film that is great to watch if you have already watched a lot of other old horror movies. That shot of the whiteboard with all the possible monsters that could be summoned to attack this group of five is worth pausing and reading all of them. Many of them are references to creatures/killers from other classic (and non-classic) horror movies. For example, "angry molesting tree" is a reference to an infamous scene from Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead.

[@jonjohns65]

🏚️🌲🌲📜👹🥬For old timers, like me, it was fun seeing the tropes of this genre kind of up-ended, and satirized. Seeing familiar actors, too, was a blast, not just Sigourney, but a lot of others. Your reaction was perfection! Thanks so much.

[@GruffyddFO4]

I love this movie. And yes, it makes so much more sense early on when you're watching it a second time. Even the opening credits give everything away when you know, as they're all scenes of sacrifices. And yet when you first watch it, it's so mystifying until the "ahhh, I get it!" moment, which happens at different spots for different people. One of my favorite bits that nobody gets the first time through (because why would you) is that when Marty "dies" and they pull his lever, there's an earthquake. They brush it off, but it's the Ancient Ones getting grumpy because they were just told there was a sacrifice and there wasn't one. Marty is absolutely my favorite character. So many fun little touches, even from the very beginning when he reaches in through his open car window to lock the door, then checks the handle to make sure it's locked. And that coffee cup is legendary! Q: What sound does it make when you hit a zombie with a giant coffee cup? A: Bong. The list of monsters is quite amusing. One of them is simply "Kevin", no other information provided. Some have theorized that it's a nod to the movie "Sin City" - an amazing neo-noir black-and-white graphic novel brought to life, with an incredible cast - but I don't know if anyone knows for sure who or what Kevin is supposed to be. The vast majority of the other monsters are all either direct references to other horror movies, or something that seems sweet and innocent, like the Sugar Plum Fairy, where it's almost even worse that you know it turns nightmarish and horrible if it's chosen.

[@aarrgghh]

"cabin" is one of the best "meta-movie-about-movies" in any genre. we, the faceless audience, have to be kept sated on a steady diet of predictable tropes, served up within narrowly-honed narratives by indifferent studio executives who gamble on nothing but the payoff, without which the entire industry comes crashing down if the audience isn't satisfied. 👨‍🍳💋 [chef's kiss]

[@grumpyoldman7562]

Great reaction! I always liked that one of the options on the betting board is just "Kevin". FYI - Marty is wearing a sweatshirt on the docks and generally wears baggy clothes because the actor who played him (Fran Kranz) was very ripped and muscular, which was not what his character was intended to be. People working on the movie referred to him as "ripped like a muscular Jesus".

[@kaiielle]

I heard that Fran had a sleeper build and was more jacked than Chris and Jesse. 🤣 That's amazing!

[@luketrottier6677]

Hi! I found your channel from your Clerks reaction, and I really like what you do. Every time I see someone react to this movie, I highly suggest: Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. No one has reacted to it on YT yet. It is so good. It subverts expectations, and plays on horror tropes in a unique way, as well. I don't want to spoil anything, suffice to say, it is a like a lower budget version of this, that does things totally different, from different angles. I actually like it more. But I really like both movies. Cheers.

[@NestorCustodio]

I always loved how ballsy this ending is: no vague threat for the future; no lingering hope to cling onto; the world is ending, in the worst possible way, and it's happening NOW. 🏚️

[@05hundredlive]

When Sigoury said the fool look at Marty’s face lol

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

This film sat on the shelf for a few years because of a studio sale/bankruptcy (and a bad test screening I think). Hemsworth got news of being cast in a big film (not Thor) as they were shooting this. The guy who plays the stoner actually was more built than either of the other two guys at the time, which is why he is always wearing that bulky sweater.

[@portalina]

Must have been his short role in Star Trek if it was big and wasn’t Thor.

[@bensneb360]

I watch this every Halloween season, a great, spooky tradition

[@MisterTea86]

I just discovered this channel recently and I love your reactions!

[@kaiielle]

Thanks so much!

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction like always i love this movie its a classic horro film, There was a funny interview with Joss Whedon about actor Fran Kranz who played Marty. When he showed up on set, he had gotten completely jacked and ripped for a previous role. Whedon was like "Uh, were going to need to keep you in baggy shirts and jackets, because you're supposed to be a lazy stoner and you look like a Navy Seal." keep up the good work.

[@kaiielle]

Fran Kranz having a sleeper build so couldn't swim in the lake is my favourite fun fact about this movie. 😂

[@MarcoMM1]

@@kaiielle for sure lol

[@EvanSawyer4]

I love how at least one comment about Kranz being ripped is in every video about this movie, lest the ancient ones rise. I hadn’t seen yours so I commented it too somewhere, lol.

[@SilentBob731]

3:00 Gotta agree with Kaiielle here, even as a straight guy. Kristen Connolly & Anna Hutchison are very hot, but Chris Hemsworth & Jesse Williams are objectively beautiful men. Also, I do enjoy how this film is kind of an endorsement for smoking pot, Marty (Topher) is The Man.🤘 11:54 Kai ruminating upon the phrase "Husband's Bulge" 🤣 35:30 A Classic ending, right up until the last couple seconds, then we're back to "Holy Shirt!".

[@SilentBob731]

0:14 Ha! It's not just me. I skipped this movie for years because it sounded like yet another re-hashed "bunch of horny young'uns get hacked to pieces by Demons or Hill People" type. Then I noticed it was a Joss Whedon film so I gave it a shot, and Holy Motherforkin Shirtballs! It immediately became one of my all-time favourite horror movies, plus it features an amazing cast, including several Esteemed Alumni of the Whedonverse (plus Thor). ❤

[@AFMountaineer2000]

Heather Langenkamp who played Nancy in the original Nightmare on Elm Street and part 3 now does special effect make up. She and and her husband worked on this movie

[@MetastaticMaladies]

Love this movie, takes the horror movie tropes and gives them legitimacy with substance while also being satirical and funny.

[@LenaDee666]

Had to restart the video cause my little "Shoot" (Person of Interest) shipping heart got distracted by Amy Acker🤣

[@OzeroCa]

When I saw the teaser in the theatre, it gave no clues to anything below the cabin.. then I saw “directed by Joss Whedon” and I thought “Lookit the crap they have him doing!” It was a year of two before someone told me, “dude, no. Watch it.”

[@jhornacek]

My favorite anecdote about this film is that they did an early screening of the film with a Q&A with the director after. One of the questions asked was "Is there going to be a sequel?" Without missing a beat, the director replied "Did you see the end of my movie???"

[@serinx]

This was supposed to be released in late 2009, and got delayed / shelved until early 2012. So getting someone like Hemsworth was less of a feat as this was filmed a few years pre-casting as Thor.

[@princekagato]

Never noticed the bird first time I watched this, so when he jumped with the motorcycle I was genuinely shocked, lol

i remember being in high school and my dad taking my mom and to see this and being so disappointed that this wasnt a genuine horror movie, but i hope u got a laugh

[@Kulematon]

The board game Betrayal at House on the Hill is basically exactly this setting: A group of people exploring a randomized house until a combination of found artifacts and circumstances triggers one of several different horror scenarios where there might be monsters, or one of the players is turned against the others, or the house itself is just out for their lives. It's a fun time every now and then, if you're up for a slightly longer tabletop game with friends.

[@IgnorantCrayon]

"These two are so cute. Hopefully one of them doesn't die." Well, ONE of them doesn't...

[@joeblankenship377]

The poster for this made me think it would be a typical slasher movie. Certainly wasn't expecting a clever take on horror movie tropes.

[@connorhalo]

I'm sure other folks have said some version of this below, but I love that we (the audience) are the old gods, the underground team are the crew of a horror film, following the rules set out by the director (Sigourney). They need to placate us regularly and we will revolt if the tropes and conventions aren't followed. But that in the end, the old system needs to go. We need new horror, new rules, new stories. Time for the gods to rise up and destroy the system.

[@joeymack5810]

🌲🏚🌲 Great reaction! I found this to be a very clever twist to the horror movie genre. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@williamozier918]

IMO, the best horror movie made in the genre. I say that because this movie is a legitimate good piece of horror, and I love that every other horror movie exists in this movie's universe.

[@daddynitro199]

🧜‍♂️ Those things are horrifying. The cleanup alone… 🏚️🌲

[@MadcapMatt]

There was supposed to be a tie-in with the video game Left 4 Dead. During that scene that showed all the different creatures you can see a few of them in the boxes. Unfortunately the deal fell through and the characters were not given more screen time.

[@LiGohan]

I really enjoyed your reaction! Marty is definitely a favorite; he's like a modern, more philosophical Shaggy. (Haha, I wrote that literally a minute before the review at the end mentioned it.) That basement scene, the betting pool and the monster scenes are must-pause moments for horror buffs. So many fun references and done in a way it's not distracting imo. Finally, after having seen the original movie and reactions multiple times, I just realized the Buckners are probably picked often (I think it's said that they are) because the Omen / warning guy mentions an old Buckner place in reference to the road the group's looking for. So the name is in their head already. Plus the intrigue of a journal of course. Just a neat detail I never noticed. Edit: 🌲🏡🌲

[@somerotter]

This is really unique in its main plot, you are not going to see other horror movies set up around this kind of meta horror ritual, anyway. What this IS full of is references to other horror movies, via the monsters and props used. When it comes to sequels, this essentially sets it up that nearly any movie could have been orchestrated by this group, we just don’t see the underground folks making it happen in most horror movies.

[@DeadPOOLParty]

Great video You have to react to The Woods 2006 it’s such an underrated horror movie hidden gem 💎

[@DaveTingwaldd]

I was thinking "don't give up on Marty yet!" :)

[@DocLunarwind]

A lot to be Said about this movie, but I think the first jumpscare (the title screen) is the funniest thing ever. I will never not chuckle at it. 🙂

[@dracomaster4]

I loved this movie because it was like, a horror movie wherein I usually wish they would have done something better, and this movie did exactly that. It kept going in a way that I wanted and kept me guessing and just, in reality, hit every button I needed pressed. I agree that it would be cool to see a sequel where there's a different sequence of events, but also agree that it could get real old real fast. I think we should just be glad we got this masterpiece of a movie we have and leave it at that.

[@3DJapan]

2 of the actors in this were also in Joss Whedon's fantastic show Dollhouse. The stoner and the young woman scientist.

[@TheWizardsTales]

This film is so brilliant that it brings a tear to my eyes. If you know the horror genre, this film explains every single horror movie ever made... the little monsters like Freddy and Jason are absolutely nothing compared to the ancient horrors that actually run the show, and every horror movie you've ever seen, with their very specific archetypes, are all part of an ancient ritual to appease them.

LOL I can totally understand disappointment with that, but I'm always speculating in my reactions! Sometimes I'm very wrong, sometimes I'm right. 😉 Thanks for being here!!

[@biguy617]

When comes to the climax each monster they find in the monster cells is a reference to a different horror movie. The others are ones the movie created on its own. The Japanese monster is a reference to the Ring and The Grudge. The chainsaw head guy is a reference to Pinhead The Clown is Pennywise The masked people, The Strangers Werewolf is a reference to any Werewolf movie Merman creature from Black Lagoon The bat creature is a reference to vampire villain in Blade 2 I think the Unicorn is a reference to the movie Legend. The Snake is a Anaconda reference The Zombies the conjure are an Evil Dead reference. The person crawling on the ceiling, is a Exorcist reference The crazy Doctors are a reference to the Re-Animator I think.

[@GSDesignStudioUK]

It's such a good film! I'd love to see another one, where they pick differently

[@zombiepicnic9683]

Fran Kranz, who played Marty, has a great part in the short lived Joss Whedon show Dollhouse. It's an odd show that only got two seasons, but it's worth a watch.

[@GruffyddFO4]

I know a bunch of people who gave up on that series in the first few episodes (because let's be honest the whole premise of the Dollhouses is pretty darned creepy) and thus didn't get to where the truth about it starts to be revealed. And I think they really missed out. That was a fascinating show.

[@eliduncan4630]

They mass produce those bongs now

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

My only problem with this movie was there's no possible way to do a sequel. This movie deserved at least a trilogy. Maybe not a full-blown, never-ending franchise, so as not to run it in the ground. This world would have been so much more fun to get to know and experience. Some of those curses would've been so awesome to get to see fleshed-out (yes, pun fully intended), and up close.

[@migmit]

Eh. When people saw the episode “The Wish” on Buffy, everybody assumed it can't have any consequences, since it's a what-if kind of stuff and everything was reset at the end. Little did we know...

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

The Old Gods are, of course, US- the horror viewers that are so fickle that we want something new- but get upset when the movie doesn't follow the same tired tropes that everything before it used. It's also funny that the archetypes the kids are being forced into are very much the Scooby Doo characters.

[@milesisediting]

🏠🌲 This movie is super fun if you're a big horror fan and see all the nods and cliches you know from so much other horror content but it's cool to see that it works well for new horror fans too!

[@jefferybaird4845]

Ok this is a fun theory. This movie is a story from an alternative earth. The SCP Foundation from that world was able to notify the SCP of our universe. What our universe decided was to put all of the SCP's into modern story's and films. They started the Creepy Pasta's about the SCP Foundation. They started the Twilight Zone, The War of the Worlds was a real thing but was eventually contained from the SCP foundation. All to help keep us all safe and have plausible denial. All the Bigfoot and paranormal footage that is out on the internet is real but with everything flooded with wild stories it can be denied by the general public.

[@MC-zr6gc]

38:55 , something tells me that the suits labeling Marty "the fool" was their 1st mistake. I have a theory that not only is Marty the smartest, but he probably has also had a 4.0 gpa since Kindergarten, and even if he DID die, the ritual would have failed anyway because they just ASSUMED that the stoner is "the fool", which is the most foolish thing I've ever heard. Lol

[@brandonhession8550]

Fr essentially how they tease that he only madeout with jules and thats as we know his only “physical encounter” so he could’ve very much been the virgin and jules seemingly the fool and dana as of the beging the whore

[@nedzed3663]

Yep, Suh-Journey!!!

[@3DJapan]

I put off watching this for a long time because I thought it was going to be really scary but then I saw it was Joss Whedon and had to watch it. Boy was I glad I did.

[@jennysutton7409]

The idea of this one is that we are the Anciant Ones that directors do their best to please and make sure we like their movies because we have the power to make or brake the mobies they try to make. we expect all the usual things the Joke and the stupid blond and the virgin lives mostly also having sex brings to death as well. I love that Sergony is in this one and actually one of her terms was that she gets to meet the Werewolf lol she took pictures with the actor both in and out of the suit haha. Amy Acker the one that got pulled into the ceilling is the actress of Fred/Illaria in the Angel tv show though she was also in one episode of the show Grimm as well. I love her as an actress though the first time I saw her was in angel and then later in the tv show Alias as one of the main bad guys for a while. Grate reaction and glad you liked this one.

[@DaveTingwaldd]

My favorite is always the unicorn :)

[@biguy617]

The Ancient ones are a metaphor for us the audience. There is a theory that Dana isn’t really the virgin since she isn’t the virgin. Marty may actually be the virgin. That maybe another reason why things didn’t go the way they planned.

[@brandonhession8550]

Fr the virgin in horror movies essentially piece things together and that was literally marty the whole movie the only fool this movie wise was jules seemingly how she essentially dyed her hair to play the role of “the whore” lol

This was supposed to come out in 2009, way before Thor but it was shelved as many movies are unfortunately. Then Thor came out snd Lionsgate released it banking on Hemsworth's new found fame.

A second viewing! would be even better!...✌️❤️❤️

[@Tensen01]

Fran Krantz, who plays Marty, was the only one at the lake without his shirt off because he's actually super ripped and it felt like it didn't make sense for the stoner to be that jacked.🏚

[@MisoSilly]

Which of these monsters would be your Worst nightmare?

[@brandonhession8550]

Love how they basically got the stereotypes wrong marty should’ve been the virgin holden the athlete jules the fool curt the scholar as he was seemingly more wise than holden and dana the whore seemingly the beginning explains it also the shot before marty wasn’t “killed” showed how the ancients essentially knew and weren’t pleased with the sacrifice they got love this movie so much

[@phtevenj]

i just want to know WHY theres a giant button to release everything INTO the facility.... that seems a bit weird to me

[@kaiielle]

One of those plot holes to make the movie entertaining, that's all. 😂

Horror is generally not my thing. I respect why people enjoy it, it's just not my bag, baby. While I am fascinated by it, I just don't get anything out of actually watching the movies. I have read a lot of horror movie summaries on Wikipeida, mainly because I love mythology and continuity in stories, and because of how bonkers horror films can get when they have too many sequels. As a horror fan on a podcast I listen to puts it, once they've done 10 movies, there's a better than 50% chance of them going to space. However, this is a brilliant script and I movie I deeply enjoy, mainly because of the way it explains the tropes other slasher movies. Why do the victims make stupid decisions? Why do they leave weapons behind? Why do they split up? Why are they insatiably horny and punished for it? Why is there so often a lone girl/woman as either the survivor or the last one standing before the end? It's so damned clever and well executed, I just loved it. And yes, surprise Sigourney Weaver is never a bad thing.

They also got all the Archetypes wrong

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

If you liked Detroit Become Human, have to check out Until Dawn. Same style of game, but horror and actually a decent story with some big-named actors. Speaking of DBH, some of those deactivation camp scenes/scenarios were f'd up lol This movie really surprised me when I first watched it.

[@kaiielle]

I've watched multiple playthroughs of that game! Haven't played it myself yet tho

[@tomesofawesome8041]

I agree with most of the people here. YOU KAIIELLE, ARE THE EVIL GOD. You watch these horror movies, some good, some bad. If you are not satisfied, you grow angry. Then along comes someone like Jordan Peel who tears it all down and builds something new.

[@dustyb58]

just a personal thing, but the music at the end is a bit loud and makes it a little distracting when trying to just listen to your review.

[@kaiielle]

You would probably laugh if you saw how much I lower the volume on the music from its original level. It's around 25 decibels! I'll try experimenting with the levels a bit more, though it's been this volume on my videos since the beginning of June or so and you're the first person to let me know that it's a bit loud. Appreciate the feedback and maybe I'll knock it down another 5 db or so.

[@dustyb58]

@@kaiielle I was trying to not sound like a jerk about it. lol if nobody else minds, I gueeessss I can live with it as is 😜

[@maxducoudray]

It’s sad that Joss Whedon turned out to be such a dick. He wrote some great scripts.

[@migmit]

I still haven't been told what is it that he did though. Except one thing: he told Charisma Carpenter she is fat, when she was pregnant. Which is, OK, a really bad joke. But I don't know what else there was.

[@maxducoudray]

@@migmit The main story about it came out of his time spent reshooting / finishing Justice League. The actor for Cyborg had big problems with him, as did Gal Gadot. When Gadot spoke up, stories started to come out about him treating women badly on previous projects. People also started to notice a pattern that he often puts female characters through especially gross / traumatic events.

[@migmit]

@@maxducoudray Um, characters aren't real people. I agree that Joss usually makes female characters more important, more interesting - which means they usually go through much more shit. And that still tells me nothing that would justify calling him a dick.

[@maxducoudray]

@@migmit You skipped the part about how he treats actors.

[@migmit]

@@maxducoudray No, you did. How does he treat actors? Anything?

[@tapoemt3995]

Sure hope that extra 30 seconds of life was worth the life of every person on the planet..

[@MrDeadstu]

THAT is why you bring a stoner with you camping or adventuring....honest. BTW, if you think meta angle, ALL horror movies are "Cabin in the Woods" prequels or sequels, just successful versions.
