I feel like it would’ve been a little better if they held off on the reveal that it was staged for a bit, but it’s been ages since I’ve seen it. I remember enjoying it though.
100% agree. It’s a fine twist on the subgenre, but the twist introduces an idea that begs to be expanded upon as part of a larger, cross-subgenre arc. And yet we only get a sliver and then it’s done.
My hot take is that Joss Whedon’s writing is like JJ Abrams’: perfect premises with bad sense of follow-thru, so all their work gets the Netflix “over before it’s satisfyingly concluded” treatment

I’m asking you politely but firmly to leave
Cabin in the Woods is fine art.
10/10 Premise 10/10 Execution
I’m helping my teenager get through all the horror tropes so we can watch Cabin in the Woods together.
Hot take.
I loved cabin in the woods!
Yeah, I don’t think anybody actually thought it was a bad movie. The real hot take is saying it was.
everyone and their mother did
Yeah, so much more there, they set up a very good universe to explore a tiny sand grain of it.

If you want more you got SCP lol.
I feel like everything was explained. I’m not left with any lingering questions about why or how any of it happened
While I love the movie, but I got a few questions about the ancient one.
Ancient being that brings about the end of the world if his terror is not fed. Lives at the center of the world.
Why does it want to destroy the earth?
Why does human(seemingly insignificant) murder mean anything to it‽
What’s the significance behind the time frame?
Why do the humans need to be murdered by strange beats?
That’s a great point. It would be fun to see a G rated fantasy film that happens to exactly follow the rules to be a Cabin in the Woods prequel.
(Same enforcement of common tropes from much happier genres, but implying that the underlying reason is the same…)
you shut your bastard mouth!
