You'll be wanting to discuss this when it comes out in April.

Co-written by Joss Whedon, The Cabin in the Woods debuts at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas tomorrow.

My review is embargoed until then but this film is................

Hmm, that trailer actually put me off, and I've been looking forward to it. One for download.

Hasn't this been delayed for about 3 years?

Lionel Blair is a legend! Awesome.

Here is my review: http://the-void.co.uk/film/review/cinema/first-look-cabin-in-the-woods-256/

If you download this movie I will hunt you down and put you in a dungeon, Saw VIII style

I guess Joss Whedon will survive if you download this but the movie will be much better in a cinema, preferable at midnight

Cant wait for you guys to see it. This is going to hit like a bomb on here.

Could be the best surprise of the year

Hmm, cabin in the woods; horror. Where have I heard that before?

Exactly.
And then you watch the movie.

Rusty Oysterburger · « **Reply #15 on:** March 11, 2012, 10:14:33 AM »

I remember reading about this a while ago, the structure and main idea behind the film does sound fascinating and weird. Can't wait to see it.

No doubt. So I take it's a bit of a different concept to that other film?

I don't know any film that treats the material in the way it is done in TCITW.

Immoral King Brian Blessed · « **Reply #18 on:** April 16, 2012, 01:41:03 AM »

Well, here I am about to watch this in five minutes. It better be good, Jon, or I'll be downloading everything from now on.

RideTheWalrus · « **Reply #19 on:** April 16, 2012, 01:42:37 AM »

Couldn't find a good download for it, so I'll wait for it. Not in a rush, trailer was naff.

How you consume your media is none of my business.

But this film is fucking great!

Chavvie · « **Reply #22 on:** April 16, 2012, 10:18:52 AM »

Watched it on Saturday. I was entertained and it was pleasing to see something a bit different. Compared to true classics like Omen or Hellraiser, it was weak.

Andy @ Allerton · « **Reply #23 on:** April 16, 2012, 12:09:48 PM »

Really looking forward to this. I like films with a twist. And this film really looks to be as twisty as a giant twisty turny thing full of old boardgames called Twister that had been through a mangle.

Marcus6 · « **Reply #24 on:** April 16, 2012, 02:04:07 PM »

I saw this on Friday, via the traditional medium of cinema.

Was ok, had a 15-20 spell in the late middle / early end when it got a bit silly in my opnion.

Not bad though, I'd give it 7/10.

Saw this last week, enjoyed it but not great, was hoping for more

My main complaints were...

Rusty Oysterburger · « **Reply #26 on:** April 16, 2012, 08:55:07 PM »

This is fantastic. Went in fairly un-spoilered and I was blown away. I can't remember the last time I was as surprised and caught up in a horror film.

A truly unique film as well as being funny, smart and a little scary.

I hope you like it and haven't seen any trailers.

I hadn't realised how close its release date is to Joss Whedon's other little film.

jaybeezay · « **Reply #29 on:** April 16, 2012, 10:58:45 PM »

I really enjoyed it although the trailer gave far too much away and ruined the twists. The twists were also too soon in the film. Definitely a really good, original film though. One of those where even though you know something bad is about to happen you still jump. I watched at the cinema, it's probably crap on download.

Just got back from seeing this. Really enjoyed it, although did spend a long time trying to work out where i'd seen the stoner before. Turns out it was Dollhouse, by Josh Whedon.

litliper · « **Reply #32 on:** April 20, 2012, 12:47:40 PM »

Best movie I've seen in a while. Love a good horror movie and playing with the genre in the manner this movie does was very interesting.

Funny, gory, suspenseful.....and absolutely insane. I loved it.

tbonejones · « **Reply #33 on:** April 20, 2012, 01:43:11 PM »

Might go and see this tonight with the Mrs. Only problem is with scary films is that she jumps a ridiculous amount and that frightens me far more than what's on the screen!

Tell her to leave the cinema for the last 20 minutes. It's nuts!

Ha, noted. My prediction is that without fail, she will say "that was the scariest film I've ever seen" as we leave the pictures. Always the same.

Bit of a bump, but only got around to watching this.

I had been recommended it by a friend, who like me, isn't a huge "horror" fan. He didn't give anything away, and I never saw any of the trailers, he just said "Watch it, it is different..."

And I will give him that.

Judging by the posts in here, horror fans loved it. And I guess that would be the case. It plays by the rules, but breaks them at the same time. You will know what I mean if you have seen it.

For me though, as a non horror fan, I would say it was a nice refreshing change to the types of films I normally watch. Some really deep hidden meanings in there .

I would say to people give it a go. No it isn't the greatest blockbuster of all time, nor is it filled with Oscar winning performances. But it is entertainment, and well worth a watch.

J-Mc- · « **Reply #39 on:** June 8, 2013, 10:31:30 PM »

i didn't see it as a typical film, it was a homage to all horror films, nothing more.

Brilliantly enjoyable film though!
