Kawaii Guy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ladies and Gentleman of the UKFF I ask of you, neigh, I plead of you; DO NOT let some naughty bugger spoil 'Cabin In The Woods' for you. Just don't. Don't investigate, don't research, don't ask; just get your arse into a cinema.  Just saw an advanced screening, i've never seen a film as joyous or as entertaining. It's fucking excellent.  This. I saw it last night and I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might check it out to see if it translates better on film, but it sound crazy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 What's he supposed to do if he's never heard of it? I've no idea what it is. I don't know if it's a horror, a comedy or an Undertaker biopic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did say dont let anybody spoil it for you, So i'm not allowed to look it up by my self then? Fucking 'ell dude.  I havent spoiled for anybody else, namely directing that comment of mine to anybody else who has seen it. If anything spoiling it for myself, makes me want to watch it more, as to be honest i was'nt going to even look at this film, as it sounds like "Generic Hollywood Horror #5928849392".

NEWM Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It's really all irrelevant though. D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-daz has seen it, and has given his (usually ace) opinion that it should be watched free of any prior knowledge. So what if you don't like horror, or comedy, or whatever the genre is? I assume it's horror, but if and when I watch it, surely I'll only be more impressed if it totally swerves me, than if I just read up on it then think "Wow, what I read before watching this really does happen exactly as I read it! Cool!" Â Is it that difficult to have some patience and take some tiny chances with what you choose to watch in situations such as this, especially when that process has been so enthusiastically endorsed by somebody who's actually seen the film. Â How shit is it when somebody says "Ohmygod, the twist too, wow!" when you haven't seen something? Half of the impact is lost because you're waiting for it, and even more annoyingly, looking for it whilst you watch. Â All that said, it occurs to me that "Jesus fucking christ" probably didn't put that feeling across as eloquently as I would have liked. You didn't spoil anything at all for me, I was just so disappointed in the world that you would choose to spoil it for yourself when so ardently told otherwise.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 13, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Brilliantly articulated there NEWM. Â If I know I'm going to watch something anyway, then I like to know as little as possible about it beforehand. Knowing less can only ever make it better.

Paid Members neil's bitch Posted April 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 Its not a massive issue, mainly in that from regardless of who puts a review of a film down, regardless of the genre i'll normally check a movie based upon Whos in it, whos directed it and so on. Â To me the title 'Cabin in the woods' screams "Generic Horror", and dont get me wrong i'm a horror fan but when somebody informs me of horrors saying its awesome, i'll check out the basic synopsis to see what its about, because i've seen way to many shite horro movies. Â In it self the plot seems crazy, over the top and amazing to be honest, and yes i'll now probably check it out, as otherwise i would not of done so, and its not about "WOW, its just like i read", its just that i enjoy a good movie, (as an example you'd re-watch a good movie, and know exactly what is going on). Â So whilst i appreciate what you've said, and yes i'm a massive mong on this forum, there is nothing wrong in what i've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted April 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'll probably never get round to watching it because I'm not a fan of Horror films at all, but I also read up on it and it does sound good. Â Bowyo T, you are just the absolute worst though because you've read up on it and now you're coming into a thread where people are trying to avoid spoilers or hints about what happens and telling everyone how fucked up and crazy it is. You're doing what shit heads do and spoiling something without giving spoilers. Â It's the film equivalent of when someone goes "I know something you don't know and it is SO amazing. I'm not telling you though, but OH MY GOD". Just shut up about it, nobody wants to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members chokeout Posted April 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 On the other end of the review spectrum did anyone see Danny Bakers rant about Cabin in The woods on twitter?  Hey kids. Just been to advance show of Cabin In The Woods. The noisiest, dullest, shallowest piece of shit you could wish to waste money on.  Me after seeing Cabin In The Woods. This time last year I had head and neck cancer. It was better than this  Cabin In The Woods. A "deconstruction" so clumsy it may as well have Krusty on screen going "Eh?? Eh?? See what we're doing here?????"  To reiterate. Cabin In The Woods is not ironic, clever, witty, post modern or a comment on horror films. It is an awful noisy boring mess.  Kinda makes me want to see it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 My main concern about this is that it might end up being something from Joss Whedon that I like. It better not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted April 13, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Much as I adore Danny Baker, his opinions on modern films are a bit odd most of the time. He's super quick to write something off. I remember him frequently talking about how awful Pans Labyrinth is, and that it's just "The Muppets for perverts". Â That said, Joss Whedon is involved in this, so I expect it's fucking terrible. Edited April 13, 2012 by Astro Hollywood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) It's a good film, the trailers tell you everything you need to know before you go in. Just go the cinema if you want to see it, don't if you don't. But, leave everybody alone. Chest is right on the money, the less you know walking into this film the better. I was fortunate not even having seen the trailer. That should be your starting point and, know, every bit of information you learn above and beyond that is for the worst. Â Danny Bakers problem is that he expected something wildly different, and appears to have not liked being shocked. He's done that in the past, too. He's so sure of himself that when he's thrown a curveball he gets all pissy. He's a fucking contrary bastard, too.

Other than it sounds good, its a bit crazy and i'll check it out at some point.  Chill the fuck out, and leave it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
