Yeah, it happens every single time a movie leaks online. A shame, especially if they were reading this thread before we could have told them what a great theatrical experience it was
this movie wasn't worth price of admission imo. its a decent movie, but doesn't belong in either comedy or horror genre, cuz its nowhere near best of either.
even though its supposed to be a commentary on horror tropes, it has problems within its own commentary, like when
the gig is up and the girl discovers the underground lab, she's screaming and banging the glass in the elevator. i mean how stupid can you be, do you want to break the glass and have the monster kill you? or how about the unguarded room with the big red 'do not push' button?
like i said, decent movie but only worth a rental.
Had I went in 100% blind, without seeing a trailer, without hearing any buzz etc, etc - I think I would have flipped my shit. Unfortunately 'twist' movies can be slightly spoiled simply by being made aware there's a twist, stopping you from enjoying the film until you eventually get to that part.
But anyway - by far, my favourite part of the film was
watching the lab guys making bets on what their fate would be and then thinking "Damn, all those great ideas and all we got to see was generic zombies?" - then the genius elevator scene followed by all hell breaking loose and the nightmares getting a bunch of screen-time?

The movie only starts here on theaters in almost 3 months !!!!!
I will see in theaters, but the nonsense delay in movies just makes me want to kill someone ><
But think about the good parts !
Now we can have high quality gifs and a high quality screen of the elevator scene ! =D
Tell me about it. I wanted to see Scott Pilgrim in theater, I really wanted to. The movie's release was first delayed to November (IIRC, by that time the movie was already out on DVD and Blu-ray in USA), but then it was eventually canceled and only released on DVD/Blu-ray in February >_<
I'll never understand why movie distributors do this (and then complain about people pirating movies).
haven't seen this yet but it pains me that i can't throw money at it while i could do one mouse click and watch it in a half hour in HD on my beamer. the us got it since april we will get it if at all in december. yay

I love foreign movies just as much as I like films from Hollywood, and I don't even get the chance to see these movies in theaters 99% of the time, nor do I even get the chance to rent them in a video shop. I pretty much have to straight up purchase them (marked up imports to boot), or pay for an online service like Netflix if I want to see the film, and still don't pirate them...
neither do i, sometimes it's just hard if people who you know download hd rips of movies you are dying to see but you have to wait 9 months to pay 25$ to watch it in a crappy cinema. or pay 55$ to import it on bluray i don't really want if it's out by then.
I absolutely loved this when I saw it in the theater. I went in knowing pretty much nothing and that made it a much better experience. One of the best dark comedies in quite a while. When I started watching it I was wondering if I was in the right movie, and then the title just appeared abruptly. Loved it from beginning to end.
I loled hard when he finally got to see his merman

it isn't a horror movie or a comedy movie because it's not the best horror movie or best comedy movie ever? what the?

Scott Pilgrim's release was one of the most frustrating experiences. It was supposedly going to get released in August and then was pushed back, and pushed back, every single weekend. My hopes and expectations were crushed every week for a month or two. I think it got a limited release in October. I finally had the chance to see it in January and the reel was covered in dust and scratches...

Use common friggin' sense, dude. Think about what is contained in those cubes. Do you really, REALLY think that she could break it. Honestly. Come on.
Also, it wasn't unguarded. You just failed to connect what happened with the guard.
And since when does a movie have to be the best of its genre to be classified in said genre? There are a lot, a LOT of horrible, awful, terrible, bad comedies, horror movies, chick flicks, action movies, etc. Just because they don't hold up to some Gol Standard you have doesn't mean they shouldn't be labeled as what they are. Cabin in the Woods is a dark/horror comedy.
'archetypes' died was important; at the very least the Whore had to die first, and the Virgin was to be left last (alive or dead, but she had to suffer). What about everyone inbetween, did they also have to die in a particular order? The reason I'm asking is because I'm confounded by the Fool's apparent death earlier in the movie.

The reason the Fool threw things off is because they jumped the gun and didn't wait for a confirmation of the kill. They assumed he died, and made the blood offering in his name, but he wasn't dead, just off the grid. Thinking he was dead, they turned their attention to the kids that were left, which is how he was able to sneak around undetected - why would they be looking out for the Fool when he's already dead?

Lol, you could at least mention problems the movie has and not simple things that were somehow hard to understand...
The title of this thread really should be changed, ever since theater release, most people expected a pure horror movie. It definitely has the influence, but the title should of been something that didn't trick people into what kind of movie this is yet still be vague.

Mutants - I saw a Hills Have Eyes type of desert mutant throw someone off a balcony to the giany snake
Reptilius - in one of the camera monitors you see a copy of the Jurrassic Park shot of a giant dinosaur foot coming down behind an office worker. Looked like a velociraptor.
Dismemberment Goblins - might be Demons, but in the lift release 2 flying gargoyle type creatures rip a security guard in half.
The Doctors - see them operating on one of the camera monitors
Jack O'Lantern - breaths fire in a close-up on one of the camera monitors
Twins - seen in the big zoom-out of the box storage area.
It's implied that Upper Management knows when they die, though. Which is why you had an earthquake when they pulled the blood valve for The Fool early.
Not even remotely. Even the "jump" scares don't hit the mark. It's clever, it's funny, it's not perfect, but it's not scary in any way. The movie setup, right from the first couple of scenes, means it can't really be scary after that.
Watched this last night. Thought it was really well done. Loved the concept behind it. It managed to scare me, make me laugh out loud, and perplex me all in one sitting. Very impressive movie. Recommend it to anyone that enjoys a fun movie experience.
I saw it (in the theater, back during the first week it came out) and I absolutely loved it. I thought it was an extremely entertaining twist on a horror movie and well executed. My gf wants to buy the blu-ray when it comes out and I have no problem with that as I'd like to see it again.
Funny to see people being disappointed it wasn't scary or "horror" while others patronizingly tell them it wasn't supposed to be.
Look at the poster.
Look at the title.
Look at the ads.
It was 100% marketed as a horror movie.
Anyway, the movie was mildly entertaining, that's the best I can say about it. Awful characters and an entire movie of wink-wink nudge-nudge isn't something I'm going to find clever or memorable. As usual Joss is too busy trying to be clever to patch up his logic gaps and plotholes.
Of course the worst crime the movie committed was having shots of the facility/soldiers in the ads, thus giving away most or all of the twist to anyone who has any experience with movies.
You're right, you don't get it. How can you not understand how a ritual sacrifice is different from an execution? They even explain what each element of it meant.
they seemed perfectly willing to just shoot them when it came down to it in the installation. And setting up an invisible forcefield for the kid to run into on his motorcycle isn't exactly sporting or in keeping with the horror movie trope theme. If you're going to do that, why not just put landmines on the road to the cabin? They ignore the warnings from creepy old guy and drive on, boom.

the kids have to die in a way that hews as closely to established tropes as possible to please the "higher-ups". If the employees have minutes to go before the world dies, they'll kill the subjects themselves in the hope that the gots will be appeased. Before that they have a better chance of succeeding in pleasing the gods by following established routes.
Also the forcefield wasn't just set up for the kid to die by running into, it was there the whole time and they were never supposed to go beyond it. It didn't follow ritual but it did get rid of someone, so it was sufficient.
