The Cabin in the Woods (2011) * FULL LENGTH REACTION
Added 2024-10-16 15:36:08 +0000 UTCThis is not at all what I would have even thought to expect!!
Remember, you can't spell slaughter without laughter!! 🤣
Really a fun movie, that's really all there is to it. A horror/comedy done well!
I think the wall scene is my favourite. What a way to go 😂
All I know is that I need to watch a terrifying movie next so there is 0 laughing!
For this style of reaction, you need your own copy to watch the movie. You can set picture in picture by right clicking twice on the video and selecting "Picture in picture". The right clicking twice is a bit tricky, because you have to right click, then move your cursor so it's not on the menu, then right click again

Thank you so much everyone for your support, I couldn't do this without you 🥰

With horror it’s all about the rush. Seeing something new that you may have thought impossible. We’ve just become desensitized. We didn’t have much back in the early 60’s w/r sfx. There was "Psycho" of course, but mostly B-movie space monsters or giant atomic mutations ("Night of the Lepus" 🤭). The classics (Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolfman) were Saturday morning fare. Alfred Hitchcock, Twilight Zone and Outer Limits had many good story lines but nothing that kept me up at night. Even "Night of the Living Dead" didn’t provide anything in the way of jump scares. Speaking strictly for me, it wasn’t until "The Exorcist" that movies caught up to books + my imagination (I did read The Exorcist before the movie came out and it did keep me up at night 😱). To bring it back to "The Haunting", there are no ghosts and only a couple of jump scares; it’s all about the atmosphere and the feeling of dread that builds slowly. I don’t know that would work nowadays.

2024-10-17 17:08:31 +0000 UTCOh that's a pity then - yes you heard right, "Cloverfield" is very 'shaky cam'. 😔🙈 This comes with the found footage genre...😅

2024-10-17 16:23:01 +0000 UTC@silverarrow06 I think "Cloverfield" is a movie with a lot of shaky cam. If that's the case, I'll never watch it since I get motion sickness from shaky cam 😅. It's either "Cloverfield" or something that sounds similar. "World War Z" is a movie I'm really interested to see, so I'm glad that he wrote it! It seems I need to check out more of his films (either that he wrote or directed) thank you!

2024-10-17 16:06:17 +0000 UTCIt's interesting how movies made years ago are now tame for current audiences. It's really fascinating to see, and just goes to show you that a movie can affect us very differently depending in when we watch it in life.

2024-10-17 16:03:44 +0000 UTCA fifth Matrix movie?! Huh, interesting. I'm curious to see how it'll do. I should check out his band, I feel like I must have but I don't remember it. The Shia LaBeouf song is so catchy and simply amazing!

2024-10-17 16:02:39 +0000 UTCAh ok thank you! I assumed since it has the same name it would be related to it lol

2024-10-17 16:01:07 +0000 UTCI'll definitely be rewatching this in several years after I've seen more horror movies :D "It Follows" sounds like it could be about so many different things, though going through a list of horror movies could be fun to do!

2024-10-17 16:00:39 +0000 UTCLike some people have already said, this movie is a delicately made homage. It is a love letter to fans of horror films around the world. Somewhere, someone is getting an easter egg or getting the in-joke about a trope. Honestly, revisit this movie every 3-5 years, you'll catch some new reference. By the way. Looked up top 200 horror movies on RT, started from 1 and went down... Finally found (at #61) one I must watch yearly. 2014's "It Follows". That movie is so good. Also have a special place in my heart for #189 "Midsommar" (2019) and #not-listed "Trick 'r Treat" (2007). Each of those for vastly different reasons.

2024-10-17 05:25:21 +0000 UTCThe TV show has nothing to do with this movie, they just share the same name

2024-10-16 19:41:43 +0000 UTCWatching this reaction now and I love that you mentioned Rob Cantor’s Shia LaBeouf song. I was a big fan of his band Tally Hall when that song went viral so I get to be a hipster and say I liked him before it was cool. Also I guess there is a new TV series called Cabin in the Woods? But as far as I can tell it’s completely unrelated to this movie.

2024-10-16 19:17:06 +0000 UTCHe has written a lot of great stuff, but I wish he had been able to direct more. He’s had very bad luck with a lot of his projects getting canceled before production. Daredevil also would have been much better if he had stayed on past the first season imo. His other film as director, Bad Times at the El Royale, is also worth watching, even if it feels a bit like Tarantino-lite.

2024-10-16 19:14:22 +0000 UTCThis movie is very unique. When I saw it for the first time, I hadn't seen enough horror movies to get all the easter eggs and the tropes they're playing with. This movie constantly got me on the wrong foot and intrigued my so much, not to mention the wonderful dark and nasty humor...😀 I love Drew Goddards style so much, he also wrote "Marvels Daredevil", "The Martian", some episodes of "Lost" and "World War Z". Another great movie written by Drew Goddard I highly recommend is "Cloverfield", an absolute must watch if you haven't already seen it...🙂

2024-10-16 18:45:10 +0000 UTCTerrifying movie without laughing 🤔 "Terrifier"? Or really most any of the slasher sub-genre films. Personally, supernatural films freak me out more. "Hereditary" is getting a lot of reactions on YouTube currently. "The Haunting" (1963) gave me nightmares for decades, but it’s probably too tame for current audiences.

2024-10-16 16:02:22 +0000 UTCThis is such a fun deconstruction of the horror genre, clearly made with a lot of love. Also the director of this film is currently working on the fifth Matrix movie, so hopefully he doesn’t screw that up.
