The Cabin in the Woods

Big thanks for the trailer...:)

Joss Whedon is pretty brilliant. I'm not going to lay down everything he's done, but the man is not an idiot. I'm sure this movie will be very entertaining and very amusing.

I like the notion of the typical "cabin in the woods" horror movie being toyed with. Why do the same things happen in a Cabin Horror movie? Because its "designed that way" and the victims are just rats in a maze. I like the idea, and if anyone can pull it off its Whedon.

lame and generic just like any other horror flick. run from monster blah blah. killer coming in the isolated house blah blah

I think you're missing the point. The whole idea behind this movie is to include all the horror movie cliches and turn them up on their head. One thing you failed to notice is the typical band of characters - the virign, the whore, the jock, the stoner, and the nice guy. And of course the setting takes place in a cabin, in the woods. Now do you think they did this completely oblivious to all the obvious cliches?

Considering that I think this trailer is very intriguing, and I am fond of the way Joss Whedon writes his stories. There's clearly a lot not being shown here, and supposedly this is going to be a glorious mind-**** that pushes the bounds of the horror genre. All I see is a little sci-fi twist, and things "aren't as they seem." But still I'm hopeful; they may have something surprising here.

Ok so ilet's go through the scary movie/slasher checklist
- Young people on a random vacation to some unknown place off the grid(I mean jeesh what's wrong with a 7 day cruise)
- At least one of the male/female leads will have dated at one point but are split up now. She/he's possibly with another member of the group now
- At least one member of the group "Has bad feelings" about everything long before everyone else does and generally sees the "writing on the wall"
- Cue old towny creepy old guy that works at either a convenience store, gas station or a convenience store in a gas station that will give firm warning NOT to go wherever they're going, knowing they'll go anyway.
- Old timey creepy guy is either in on the evil plot or appears somehow later in the film to help while getting killed himself.
- Vehicle WILL break down or have some sort of damage done to it rendering it undrivable which will lead into my next point......
- Gratiutous running and chase scenes at night on foot since iby the title it's obviously set in the woods.
- One person, normally the alpha male of the group will be in extreme denial that something bad is actually happening to them until a body shows up. either because he is too drunk or too stubborn or both.

Am I in the ballpark on this one?

Oh, this looks AWESOME...but I wish it was just another killer in the woods story. Strange, I never get tired of those.

So does going down mean they're going to get trapped in...The Cube.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!
