It has been getting great reviews on rottentomatoes. Regardless, I was going to see this anyway since it is by Joss. I have been completely spoiler-free so far and want to see it before someone spoils it for me.
I still thought this looks awful. Truman Show meets Cube from the sound of it.
But I'm positive of it now based off the commercials they are airing here around me, they are the same as the Paranormal Activity commericals where they have audiences of 40 year old women or 13 year old kids saying how awesome and scary it was, followed by footage of them watching it in the theatre and jumping and screaming. Not one of them looks like they have ever seen a single horror movie before, they look like the Twilight crowd.
Pretty much as clear an indication as I need.

Maybe but the only other films I've seen advertised in this manner were Paranormal Activity which was garbage that everyone said was new and innovative and scary, and the similar alien abduction movie or whatever it was with Milla Jovovich. Oh, and Grown-Ups, and Jack and Jill and Zookeeper. It doesn't exactly inspire confidence, I'll see it when it hits HBO if it's still getting acclaim then.
Spoiler:Did anyone notice any of the monsters from other movies. For one , the guy with the puzzle box looked a lot like a cenobite. I saw a very pumpkinhead looking creature , the people with the white masks looked a lot like the strangers , I saw a huge tree branch ( the evil dead ) come out of that elevator. I think there was another I noticed.
Loved it !. Thought it was brilliant. 8/10.
Took it further than I was expecting and did it well.
Massive spoilers here.

Spoiler:Actually yes. I told this to Jenn, same stuff. I was like, okay..the guy with the puzzle reminded me of Pinhead. And yada yada. The film also had a VERY 13 ghosts feel to it. Have you seen 13 Ghosts? If you even look at it when SW cameos. She reminds me of the girl in 13 Ghosts who names off the ghosts in the end, as does SW with each of the 5 sacrifices. And then with all of the cubes moving around, showing the creatures it reminded me of the glass rooms holding the ghosts. Also a lot of the mechanics in Cabin reminded me of the mechanisms in the house in 13 ghosts as well.
Seriosuly dude? I know you are saying the marketing strategies are similar but surely you can't think the outcome of Cabin In The Woods will be anything like Zookeeper, Grown-ups and Jack and Jill.
Spoiler:Would anyone have loved the movie to have been shot a couple times, but using different creatures that come to kill them all? Like, the characters pick a different object each time in the basement, and we see the awesome-ness ensue. That way the movie could end in different ways.

Spoiler:Yep , it had a definite feel of 13 Ghosts. I got that too.
I cant wait to watch this back on blu and see what I can spot.
If the last half of the movie didnt happen...yes. But after that?
I got my fill.
But I loved that concept.
Spoiler:shoot the film 3 different ways. The original way its been done. A second time with a different creature and they don't make it into the elevator shaft, etc. They just all die. World is good. And a third way with a different creature but again, something different happens.
