From Drew Goddard (Lost, Cloverfield) and Joss Whedon (Firefly, Serenity, The Avengers)

Looks like an interesting take on a well used horror plot device.

Plus it uses The Naked and Famous "Young Blood" in the trailer...Which is an awesome tune.

Plus it's been fecking forever in coming.

Looks good

reminds of Truman show but instead its more of a horror movie with the people watching the stranded people.

Very strange.
Finally coming out to take advantage of Chris Hemsworth's new fame as Thor? Avengers only comes out a month after this.

Yeah it definitely looks like a strange take on an old well used horror staple. It's made in 3D which will obviously get mixed reactions as some people like it and some hate it. I personally think if it's done properly (uses more negative paralax than positive like Tron and Avatar) then it will at least look good.

I have high hopes though cos I like Joss Whedon even if he's producing rather than directing.

Should at least have originality.

Starts out like it's gonna be an Evil Dead remake.

Is this a remake of some sort?

Nope its something new

but there is a Evil Dead remake on its way.

Just caught it tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was by no means flawless, but a clever, quirky story nonetheless.

Pretty original. First third was pretty funny/quirky. Middle was pretty "meh" standard horror movie (kind of like a Friday the 13th movie knock off). The climax is when it just becomes pure entertainment and fairly original. I definitely liked this and will watch it again.

Film was golden. As Myth said, it really gets going in the last act when the creativity of the minds involved really gets to flourish. Wonderful and fun horror film that is both a celebration and a condemnation of the relatively tired horror genre.

Brilliant film. Just saw it tonight. Amazing that it can at once be so original and yet be a homage to almost every horror movie you've ever seen. Loved it.

Dope, watching this tonight and you're two people in here I trust in terms of films.

Liked it a lot, as others said; a fresh take in a stale genre; pyaing homage to many other horror flicks.

I especially liked the HP Lovecraft homage.

Well shit... looks like I need to see this. It looks kinda lame on the trailer, but it's gotten extremely impressive reviews.

The trailer is completely irrelevant to the film.

There is one part that the trailer ruins: The trailer shows the girl and the conspiracy theorist going down an elevator, so I knew he didn't die when they tried to make us think he died. Other than that, I was pretty happy at the lack of spoilers in the trailer.

What do you mean it's irrelevant to the film? Do you mean it doesn't represent the film well?

At first I was dreading watching the movie simply because I thought it would be a stale slasher movie. I found it enjoyable for the humour and the quirky enjoyable cast.

Yes. Although this time it's deliberate. Most film trailers don't represent the film well nowadays though even when they try to.

Great movie.

I was going to go see this today, but it just disappeared at the theater. I guess I won't be seeing it for a while. F#ck.

I LOVE the song "Young Blood" ...this was definitely not what i was expecting after viewing trailers for it. It's on the side of WTF. It was something different from all the ghost movies recently. Watch it!

Fantastic movie all around. The explaination was awesome and very well done. I do agree that that one part in the trailer gave something away to me too but other than that i was very pleased

Dammit, I want to see this.. maybe I'll try to find a bootleg... screw my ISP

I finally saw this, for the low, low price of $1.99 (+ about 2 or 3 bucks worth of gas station candy). It was entertaining and quite amusing, but I'm honestly a little surprised that it has such great reviews. I guess I just find it a little strange trying to take it seriously and laugh, at the same time. It's not the same kind of horror/humor as say Evil Dead (which it is very clearly referencing; there were some definite references to other films such as The Matrix). It worked better as a comedy, I think. I really didn't find it very scary because it was a little too over-the-top to take seriously, and the film wasn't taking itself very seriously. And oddly enough, I didn't really like Sigourney Weaver showing up . That was a bit campy and instead of being either funny OR serious, it just added too much of a camp factor. Probably wouldn't see it again, and probably wouldn't buy it, but it's definitely funny and worth seeing once. Joss Whedon once again shows that he's very good at writing good action/humor...

I hope he develops enough clout in Hollywood from this success (not to mention The Avengers) and gets to return to Firefly/Serenity.

I'll ignore the rest and resist tearing you a new shit pipe because of this sentence.

Thank you for bestowing mercy upon such a lowly soul as me, oh Great and Mighty One.

You're welcome.

Great Sci-Fi film, with lots of horror elements.
The idea was fantastic, very original, the execution was great, the dialogue top notch (Whedon) and it had boobies!

Plenty of very heavy-handed references to genre staples (Hellraiser, Evil Dead, It etc etc...), lots of great visual gags and a brilliant cocktail of character types - Scooby gang-ish dynamics of the cabin party as well as Lost like men in white coats.

Oh and Danny Tripp is in it, sigh ... Studio 60 ...

Will be showing this to a bunch of drunken friends at home this Sunday. Should be a blast.

this movie was very creative. i love the homage to the different horror sub-genre.

Not the genre-redefining horror movie that I had been told it was, definitely more along the lines of a horror/comedy, very slickly done, exactly what I expected from Whedon in terms of the attitude of the whole thing. Overall - 8/10. Personally, I could have handled about another 10 minutes or so of film time, (but they always say to leave your audience wanting more) so that the earlier scenes involving the office workers could have had a bit more to them. On a separate note, good to see the gorgeous Amy Acker on my screen again.

Five teenagers head off for a weekend at a secluded cabin in the woods. They arrive to find they are quite isolated with no means of communicating with the outside world. When the cellar door flings itself open, they of course go down to investigate. They find an odd assortment of relics and curios but when one of the women, Dana, reads from a book she awakens a family of deadly zombie killers. There's far more going on however than meets the eye as the five campers are all under observation.

LoL.

Finally saw this movie. It was totally tubular.

If you disagree, then you're wrong because I'm right.

If it was such as good movie then why didn't it get a bigger release?

Because those things aren't connected.

Was it anygood?. Cause im looking for a good horror movie to watch right now and if its on Demand.
