When Cabin in the Woods came out, I recall being unable to see it- everyone raved about it on facebook and I just rolled my eyes and said " just focus on your work, Allie". I bought the movie over the weekend and finally got to see it. I don't know if I felt the same way as everyone else honestly...the movie made me feel...weird. It kept to a lot of the same story elements that most horror movies cover (ex: The jock/promiscuous girl die first/the people having sex die first). Later in the story they begin to almost mock the horror stereotypes (ex: zombies...redneck zombies). By the end I felt they were completely making fun of it upon showing all the glass cases with different types of monsters and ghouls. Wasn't there even a unicorn? Any who, sometimes I was scared and sometimes I laughed. The movie definitely played with my emotions to say the least.
As for the ending, I don't know how I felt about it. I was overjoyed that a character finally "solved" the mystery- but then I was upset that they died (and that the rest of the world was going to die from the giant god guy).
