Whenever I come across mermaid discovered in real life fake videos, the mermaid is always an ugly zombie like creature. Maybe there's a tendency to conflate mermaids and Sirens. Sirens are evil mermaids with sharp teeth that lure sailors to their death, not surprising they might be perceived as hideous creatures in true form. https://aquamermaid.com/blogs/news/siren-mythical-creature#:~:text=%27Mermaid%27%20and%20%27siren%27,Sirens%20are%20like%20evil%20mermaids.

2022-10-16 05:24:26 +0000 UTCI have seen a movie that's very similar to this. At first I thought this was the one because of Amy Acker playing the scientist girl. But in the movie I saw the scientist actually meets with the victims in the woods. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Most of what Joss Whedon has done is very good. Firefly is really awesome and Serenity (the movie). The whole old ones/ancients thing is a thing from Buffy but I think that's just because Whedon wrote both this and Buffy. The really cool thing about Joss Whedon is how he always reuses actors like. You will see all the same actors in everything Joss Whedon has done. I actually swore I saw Nathan Fillion in here somewhere, though I could be wrong. It was just for a split second I thought he was one of the scientists during the beginning.

2022-10-16 05:13:08 +0000 UTCIt's so weird to me seeing mer men as being these disgusting creatures because to me Mermen were always like dudes like Ariel's father in The Little Mermaid. But I think there was actually a horror movie about a mer man that was disgusting and a killer.. but they made horror movies about all sorts of mythical creatures that aren't normally horror movie type characters (like The Leprechaun).
Alex
2022-10-16 05:11:51 +0000 UTCThey seem to have different types of Zombies as on the white board he mentioned that zombies were different from that specific family of zombies, but in one scene you see a bunch of zombies eating the brains of the remains of ppl killed by the other monsters. This is a reference to George Romero's zombie movies. I'm unaware of any other zombie movies where the zombies eat brains.
Alex
2022-10-16 05:07:27 +0000 UTCYeah, I agree. I'm not sure which it would be...

2022-10-11 05:40:17 +0000 UTCThe look on his face when he realised he was going to get killed by the Merman whom he was so hyped to see was hilarious.
Aaron Barlow
2022-10-10 14:36:28 +0000 UTCAt some point , "Cabin In the Woods" had a tie-in deal with the videogame "Left 4 Dead", so in those prison cubes, you'll see some of the boss zombie characters from the game. And perhaps the zombies in the hallways were also referencing the game, but they could also just be generic zombies from any film?

2022-10-10 14:31:32 +0000 UTCYeah I imagine the Merman is super fast in the water, but it would have been interesting to see how it played out if they had chosen that death option.

2022-10-10 14:28:30 +0000 UTCKudos to Mr. Schmitt on holding it together in front of the Mrs...you looked like you wanted to say SO much to her the whole movie Lol This is one of my perfect movies 😊

2022-10-10 03:27:46 +0000 UTCConjuring 2 then! Have you guys seen that? It's better than 1 IMO. Also Annabelle. Paranormal activity is good as well.

TBR Schmitt
2022-10-09 23:07:52 +0000 UTCOh no! Okay Daniel said YT is still processing the HD version which is unheard of since we uploaded it like 3 days ago, so he’s going to upload it again and I may have to create another post. Sorry all! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-09 19:50:46 +0000 UTCWe have seen The Conjuring! That would be a terrifying reaction for sure! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-09 19:48:27 +0000 UTCI’m sorry, I’m not tech-y. What does this mean? Is the video quality only available up to 360p? Showing this to Daniel to check. -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-09 19:47:59 +0000 UTCSuch a fun film! Yes, we’ll definitely need to check out more of these films that we haven’t seen for some more references haha We loved Marty! Too funny! We completely missed the professor relationship but I swore she said she wasn’t a virgin anyways but it had me second guessing lol -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-09 19:47:09 +0000 UTCHaha thank you, Jason! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-09 19:45:38 +0000 UTCI need to re-watch just to see if I can put this stuff together haha The Purge doesn’t scream film projector to me though 🤔 -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-09 19:45:24 +0000 UTCDamn we wouldn’t have known a lot of these so I’m glad they went with Evil Dead 😂 -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-09 19:44:25 +0000 UTCProbably true 😂 -Sam

2022-10-09 19:43:44 +0000 UTCLOL
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-09 19:43:20 +0000 UTCChris Hemsworth’s delivery was awesome haha You know, I thought about that when I put it on the schedule in the same week, but decided to just go through with it. The rest of the month are all new to us both 😊 -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-09 19:43:07 +0000 UTCLOL prepping for my reaction 😂 -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-09 19:41:31 +0000 UTCThank you! Oh dang we missed that! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-09 19:41:05 +0000 UTCExactly. You're not paranoid if it's true.
Guston Zimasheen
2022-10-09 07:14:13 +0000 UTCYou should watch The Conjuring for spooky season!
Odd Thomas
2022-10-08 21:52:47 +0000 UTCThe quality / size for this is only 360p?
Andrew Roach
2022-10-08 17:39:53 +0000 UTCOk, that makes sense. I'm so glad that 3D fad went away.
Jeffrey Miller
2022-10-08 07:05:22 +0000 UTCThat was a lot of fun! Short and sweet as well. There were a lot of nice references to other works of horror. All the stuff about ancient gods were a big theme in HP Lovecraft's stories. The stuff with the sphere puzzle was a reference to the Hellraiser movies which I'm sure you guys will cover soon. I was so happy when Marty came back. It's funny that even though Marty was a stoner he was the most rational of the bunch because he had smoked so much weed the chemicals didn't have an effect on him. When Sigourney Weaver's character says, "We work with what we have" she's acknowledging that finding a college aged woman who hasn't had sex would be a little difficult. Dana, who had an affair with her professor, is just portrayed as less experienced and more inhibited sexually.
Jeffrey Miller
2022-10-08 06:41:32 +0000 UTCWhat happen was MGM went bankrupt and all their movies just went on the shelf until they could be sold off to other studios. When Lionsgate bought it, the film went through a 3D conversion process due to the success of AVATAR and ALICE IN WONDERLAND and that delayed it an additional year. They did hope to capitalize on the success of THOR but The Cabin in the Woods actually released almost a year after THOR came out because the 3D conversion process took that long to do. But by the time it came out, the trend had faded and they may have cancelled the conversion, I can't remember. But it was definitely a clusterfuck. Hemsworth's RED DAWN remake also was part of that MGM deal.

2022-10-08 06:27:15 +0000 UTCA perfect reaction
Jason Dolan
2022-10-08 06:21:08 +0000 UTCHuh. I had never noticed Marty checking out the old school film projector when everyone's in the basement. I wonder which of the monsters that would have summoned... nothing jumps out to me. edit: The Purge people in masks, maybe? I dunno.
Uncle 'Traveling' Matt
2022-10-08 06:03:58 +0000 UTCFirst time I've seen this. It was pretty good. I Liked the horror movie/fiction references. As you mentioned, Evil Dead was one, as was Hellraiser. The orb puzzle was probably a reference to the Lament Configuration (a puzzle in Hellraiser). I think the "Merman" was a reference to the Creature from the Black Lagoon (movie from the 1950s). Obviously also the "Ring" movies from Japan. I think the clown was meant to be a reference to Pennywise from It . The biggest reference though, I think was to the works of H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos- which revolves around the Elder Gods and sacrifices to them. You should check out some other H.P. Lovecraft based movies, such as "The Color out of Space" (the recent one with Nick Cage) and "Re-Animator" from the '80s.

2022-10-08 05:14:29 +0000 UTC"You could run away from the Merman easily" I suspect the merman would've appeared in the lake lol.
Aaron Barlow
2022-10-08 03:26:34 +0000 UTCThese kind of movies teach us that the conspiracy theorist is always right.
Aaron Barlow
2022-10-08 03:22:53 +0000 UTCChris Hemsworth's perfect clothesline of the little girl redneck-torture-zombie-family, followed by "Dead bitch." has got to be one of the best horror movie moments there is. It's so preposterous. This movie is too much fun. Fwiw, I kinda hope that we can get back to more movies that neither of you have seen. Imo, two re-watches in a row is a bit much (but ik it's cuz democracy.)
Uncle 'Traveling' Matt
2022-10-08 03:19:41 +0000 UTCThe werewolf was awesome, if only American werewolf in Paris used this kind of FX, it would've been a great movie. Good to see the werewolf play a prominent role in the monster pantheon here. Surprised to see no vampires, maybe the bat like creature was a vampire in true form.

2022-10-08 03:19:06 +0000 UTCTBR has smug grin and adjusts his glasses = He knows something Sam doesn't.
Aaron Barlow
2022-10-08 03:17:28 +0000 UTCI like that one of the monsters on the whiteboard is just "Kevin". If you want to see another classic horror movie that is an obvious big reference in this movie, check out "Hellraiser" (1987). And, speaking of that movie, a remake was just released today on Hulu. Gonna go make some popcorn.
Thomas Yanez
2022-10-08 01:09:56 +0000 UTCGreat reaction, y'all. Regarding Dana being a virgin or not - at the beginning, they explicitly tell us that she had been having sex with her professor, who dumped her in an e-mail.
Thomas Yanez
2022-10-08 00:43:59 +0000 UTCOh no way!! It's incredible but I could definitely see them wanting to utilize that star power haha -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-08 00:19:22 +0000 UTCOh awesome! I can't wait to hear what you think! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-08 00:14:20 +0000 UTCYay, hope you enjoy! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-10-08 00:14:10 +0000 UTCfun fact this movie was shelved for years until Hemsworth got cast as Thor. Then they released it the same year hoping his fame or popularity would transfer to ticket sales for their movie. Odd how they thought this would bomb as this was one of the most original ideas in years.

2022-10-07 22:27:21 +0000 UTCI haven't seen this one, so this ought to be fun. It'll be nice when I start working days again so I don't have to wait all night to watch these lol
Jeffrey Miller
2022-10-07 21:14:49 +0000 UTCYaasss, been waiting for this one🤘
