When this came out I thought it would change horror. I thought it made evident truths about the genre that we had to address. But there wasn't even a single good horror movie to come out the next year, or the one after that. You finally get Babadook and It Follows 3 years later, in 2014. 2015 gave us The Witch and They Look Like People, and last year just doubled down on shit and excreeted reboot after reboot of shit tier horror. Only thing close to good was Split and that wasn't great. So what happened?

I literally just finished reading this thread on 4chan's Holla Forums.
wew laddy.

Why do horror people act like what they watch is important? Everything you watch is garbage. There is no good horror.

Tucker and Dale deconstructed horror better.

It was deconstructing a subset of horror movies that have pretty much been dead since the 80's, and had already been thoroughly deconstructed by other movies. The scenes in the facility were fun though.

It tried to subvert but ultimately became the trope. I think maybe you're a bit of a horror pleb, OP.

This. Tucker and Dale did a way better job deconstructing horror tropes.

As much as I like Cabin in the Woods, it spends all it's time looking down it's nose at horror fans for being desensitized, it literally climaxes with throwing every monster imaginable into the mix. It's smug, self righteous, and hypocritical.

At least it had some good monster design.

I snuck into it after watching the first Avengers movie. Seeing both of them was an interesting experience because they were both so enjoyable and in such a hedonistic way, and they do both take a step in a direction that isn't often taken. That is to say, even the most ridiculous movies in the horror and superhero genres tend to take their worlds extremely seriously - the films have to follow the rules of the world they live in. The great thing about these two, is they effectively said "fuck that, it's just a movie, we're going to have fun with it." I think THAT is the innovation of Cabin in the Woods - it's part of a move toward more creative freedom in mainstream movies. Breaking the fourth wall is nothing new in art films, comics, etc., but it's underutilized in the mainstream. I do think Cabin in the Woods and other movies of the time were a step in the right direction, with dumb movies not taking themselves so seriously.

I loved it until I read the Meta reviews…..its still pretty good though.

It had Thor in it.

The Witch was good though. what are you smoking nigga. Also, Cure for Wellness might be interesting.

It's like you can tell Cuck Whedon wrote the movie. The only reason why it succeeded despite that is because of its director and the rest of the crew. Unfortunately Cuck Whedon's fanboys were all grown up and started promoting him as the sole reason why it was good in any way. People still think to this day that he directed it too.

literally Reddit: The Movie

Agreed that and I like the scenes where they make fun of the Japanese horror movies.

I hope so I heard some negative reviews on it. The trailers look very interesting though.

...

What the fuck are you talking about? The whole thing was a hedonistic celebration of monster movies. There was nothing heady about it.

Often means it's good, tbh. The (((critics)) use their scores as a way to discourage the easily fooled goyim into not seeing movies they think look interesting.

go away, Joss

Joss had nothing to do with a Cure for Wellness.

Fuck you, Hitler. Your assessment of moving pictures is shit.

There's nothing intelligent or heady about it. It was just about sensation overload, throwing in as much stuff as possible for fun. If you think it was in any way pretentious, then I have to assume you're a moron

l want Joss Wheldon shills to leave.

That's what I hate about 98% of movies, you can deduce the entire plot after about 5 minutes.

Chucking everything and the kitchen sink into a flick does not a good movie make.
Albeit the unleashing the monsters in the facility scene is a guilty pleasure just for the absurdity.

All the people I know that make that claim are burned out assholes who make extremely broad predictions and then twist them to fit in the movie to act like they are 2patrician4plebmovies, and everyone knows they are just being idiotic but themselves. Its very cringy.

KYS

Idiots like you are the reason we get a new transformers movie every year, each making several hundred million $$$ profit.

But if you can't you'd call the film "confusing" or "incoherent" right?

...

I never paid for a Transformers movie, and I see no problem with the fact they are made and they profit.

Why do you care with some random mass of people watch to entertain themselves? Do you get triggered by Bollywood's huge market share with silly dances? Or since you don't hear about it you don't give a shit?

is "the agency is setting this whole thing up as a ritual sacrifice to some weird god" an extremely broad prediction?

because that's what I told my friend after about 30 minutes of the movie

...

Ok, dude.

Re-read my post then go back to 2nd grade and up your reading comprehension.

Because of people like you, Lady Gaga is the number one popstar. But don't worry, I'm not strawmaning you as a fan of pop music, I'm just making a general claim and then distorting it to fit my nonsensical prediction.

I should have known

Let me point you to the specific post, even though your reading comprehension is too low for it, maybe you'll save it to your desktop and re-visit in 10 years when you get to high-school level of reading comprehension:

I did not realize the penis-shrinker was there, sorry about that.

We had Scream try to "subvert" the horror genre in the fucking 90s and nothing changed. Why did you assume that this would be any different? As long as goyim cattle pay to watch generic garbage hollywood will continue to put out generic garbage.

No amount of graceless preaching from rich balding bearded chubby rich white dude is going to sway the power of laziness and return on investment. Horror won't change until people stop going to see shitty horror movies that work on getting enough asses in seats to make more than the tiny budget.

I keep hearing that Scream is supposed to be a "subversion" of slashers, but I just don't see it. there's a group of teens and a crazy guy is killing them off, just like every other slasher.

It's just a slasher that's slightly more self aware.

Can we have more appreciation for horror deconstruction done right?

I still love the scene when they arrive at the cabin and instead of the typical gloomy horror movie shit show, the two good old country boys are excited to have a fixer upper home all to themselves in the woods where they can hunt and fish. The absolute comfiest shit.

how?

Well, it was written by Joss Whedon after all…

The movie was pretentious as fuck. It was basically Joss Whedon jizzing THIS IS META on the audience for an hour and a half. Holy shit, you're a bigger faggot that the goons that post black gay porn on here.

Whedon telegraphed the entire movie in the first 10 minutes. You're a fucking idiot. This was a Shamylan WHAT A TWIST movie that gave away the twist at the beginning. It's SHIT.

My sister was like
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW U'RE RIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

Fucking movie, I only watched it because Richard Jenkins was there to save the world

He specified 98% of the movies, not just this one.

How old is your sister?

More projection than IMAX.

whedon is a hack

With a pact with the devil to cast all the nice people and ruin their careers forever in spite of some being quite talented and charismatic.

26, she's my big sister and getting dumber by the day. I expect her to get pregnant by Tyrone any minute. I always wanted a dark two-headed nephew

Have you considered impregnating your sister to save her from that fate?

wait why does Whedon want to ruin the lives of people he casts in his films?

Why would you think that? Don't get me wrong, it was a clever "deconstruction" and homage to horror films and Scooby Doo.

I think the biggest fuck-up in this movie was the ending that closed out all possibilities of a sequel or companion movie. I'd love to see them pulling off successful rituals at other sites, more focused on the white collar workers behind the scenes, scrambling to put all the pieces in place to make things work. Perhaps a plot about selecting and priming candidates for the rituals. Or even going into the process of how they got their hands on each and every monster.

They could pretty much do "SCP, but good: The Movie" and it would be awesome.

He is … jew?

Prequel anyone?

I guess that possibility can't be ruled out. Still, I'd rather Joss Whedon not be given any more work. We're better off without him.

Not that user, But he is right. Your post literally implies that he is the reason therefor one of the people that watch transformers movies. I think you should be the one to learn English first

Because there was that single scene talking about rules in horror

Didn't know he was jewish.

Horror is doing fine OP you just have shit taste.

Nope, paw already did
hyuck hyuck hyuck

I mailed the company about that a long time ago, what are you waiting for sending yours?

What is SCP?
I would also like a behind the scenes comedy for successfully completed horror flick rituals.

Postmoderism has it limits. You can only smash the tropes and conventions so long, until you have nothing to work with but dust.

That's a pretty good fix up job. I could see dating her if I was a sand nigger.

It went to shit, and contradicts itself when the violent guy is the son of the psycho.
You know, the theme being x isn't bad just for being born to x parents. Second half lost steam in general.

Horror sucks shit.
I like horror, but the genre is shit. So much is so bad.
The scariest thing about horror is being a fan and watching helplessly as the genre is murdered.


Cabin in the woods was shit.
Easily the last time I watch a film because the director of the exorcist praised it. Or any director. It was just an autistic child screaming and a single mom with poor parenting who won't discipline him. At least I fapped to the scene where she started masturbating, but overall a shit film.

SCP stands for "Secure, Contain, Protect"

It's hard to explain without just telling you to look it up. It started as a sort of collective writing thing, where people would write weird stories about supernatural creatures, haunted objects, and other weird shit, and the way they were captured, contained, and kept from getting out.

It was kind of cool at first, but then normalfags who were raised on stale creepypasta discovered it and made it shit. They started making jumpscare horror games and adding all kinds of retarded shit that wasn't interesting or clever.

I would totally play the Fantastic Beasts but scary Vidya.

...

It's pretty much just a shitty version of that Slenderman game.
