The Cabin In The Woods........Is It Just Me That Thinks....
Discussion
...this is the most over-hyped film of recent times?
"Game Changing..."
"Clever"
"Post-Modern"
"...astonishing meta-feat, capable of being funny, strange, and scary -- frequently all at the same time."
"You won't see the end coming."
"You'll want to see it twice"
I saw it with others and frankly it was a 6/10 at best. They say its not a 'Slasher' film but really, it is, with pseudo-intellectual advertising trying to draw in the crowds that wouldn't normally go to see a film like this - and it worked.
It's Evil Dead meets The Truman Show - just not as good as that mash-up sounds like it should be.

Indeed.I thought it was "ok" and reasonably entertaining. The last third was a bit drawn out and I was desperately waiting for it to end.
I think it might have been better had they not given the "Truman Show" thing away so early in the film. Maybe "1/3 scary cabin, 1/3 ahh that's what it's all about, 1/3 save the world" would have been better.
Forgettable.
