7? Out of 10? Which means most are rating a 10. Sigh. This a half-grin comedy that's supposed to make some people sexually excited, if anything. Anyone care to explain why the government workers didn't just kill the college "kids"? They made it clear in the end that they merely had to die, virgin last but optional, so what is the point of the monsters? Can you also explain how the monsters got locked up in the first place? How about why the monsters would be able to be released in that room where the workers go; all at once, no less? Also... did no one notice that the redneck zombie whatevers came from the ground and not some hatch? None of this movie makes any sense but so many are for some reason desperate to like it and I don't know why. Many good movies are horribly rated on here... while ones like this are very highly rated.

You obviously have no clue how IMDB ratings work. Less than 10% of the total participating members rated it a 10.

Maybe someone else here will spoon feed you the answers, I'm not, because it's blatantly obvious you really didn't give the film much of your attention while it played.

Ahh I see. We were "desperate." You're cute, junior.

That's a really sad story.

Well, seeing as how the movie went out of its way to explain that, that'd be a good source for an answer.

but so many are for some reason desperate to like it

Well, no, we just did. Pretty much just like how you didn't like. I mean, you weren't desperate to not like it, right? So why would you think people are desperate to like it?

and I don't know why.

They just got what you didn't. I compare it to Animal House. People love it and call it a comedy classic. I, however, didn't really find it funny at all. However, that doesn't confuse me as to why others might like it.

I know. It must suck not everybody's opinion matches exactly with yours.

You are sin.

Oh wow!! Heaven forbid, anyone has a different opinion of this than you!!!

Quite clearly the majority liked it. But you didnt so that makes the film *beep* I guess.
And do you really nitpick that much at every movie you watch? Watching movies must be a pretty unpleasant experience for you.

I thought that Cabin in the woods was a very clever and fresh idea for the Horror Genre as the way I saw it was hey it's Reality TV with Monsters.

Can anyone tell me how to rate this movie zero.
Is this possible or do I have to rate it one?
Because it doesn't deserve to be rated 1/10.

You can't figure out how to point and click? You really shouldn't be rating movies if you can't figure that out.

You are sin.

This movie sucks ass. Its not funny or cute or romantic or entertaining or suspenseful or scary or dramatic. Its nothing. Its what comes out of my ass after twelve beers and Huevos Rancheros. Actually, no. Not true. I would rather watch that *beep* swirl around the toilet than be forced to watch this piece of *beep* movie again. *beep* this "film".

It never ceases to amuse me when a member gets so butt hurt over a movie. 

One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

agree with you

[–] nickynnnz 8 years ago

That's right. Simply the idea is different, and it's somewhat hilarious, but not scary. no, not even a bit.

'If you're a fan of typical horror, this isn't your cup of tea.' I saw this phrase before I watched it. I'd have to bear it if there wasn't an ending like that. It's just the ending, that's what I hate.

It amazes me how many people spend the time writing posts like almost exactly like this. First of all, no one should take IMDB ratings seriously. If you don't know that yet, welcome to IMDB! Most importantly, having your opinion on a movie is great. Other people having their opinions on a movie is great. Everyone's opinions are different and trying to convince someone that a movie is bad or good on this site is a waste of time.

That being said, here are your answers. The movie is meant to make fun of scary movies and to be be laughable. The stoner is basically the narrator of this. At the end he says something like, why couldn't they just do it like they did in the past and just tie people to rocks and kill them?

IMO - it's a stupid movie but it's also hilarious. There aren't a lot of movies like it, so I'd rate it higher. But everyone has their reasons, which bring me back to the first two points, so I'll shut up now. :)

Are you watching closely...?
