That's kind of what I like about it. It's kind of making fun of horror while not being a comedy. I'm not sure what genre I'd put it under.Saw it, thought it was great, etc etc. Not sure I'd call it a horror film though!

Then who was phone?
When they say 'from upstairs', they mean someone on the surface. Namely, Marty.
I hate parents who bring kids to age-inappropriate movies.
We had two parents and their ten year old in Team America. The ticket guy said "Uhhh... there's STUFF in this movie..." and they chewed him out. Made the puppet sex that much funnier.

I could have sworn they said the call on the red phone came from "upstairs" (though they do also call the cabin that). Obviously, because he was meekly explaining that the protocol was followed exactly, he wasn't talking to one of the kids. I just thought it was from someone so important they hadn't even been mentioned before, though it could also have been the Director.
The 'its Marty' thing is the most likely answer, but the movie doesn't go right out and say it. So it's open to interpretation.
WellAnyway, it's just a slight point. I'll assume it was a call from the Director. Perhaps I'll even go see the film again.
Wellupstairs being the cabin and downstairs being the director makes sense.
I'm not 100% convinced that Marty fiddling with the elevator somehow disabled the bomb. I have this theory about the movie hinting the existence of a saboteur (chemical-defeating pot, Marty's vitals flat-lining even though he wasn't dead, the unmanned station with the 'unleash all hell' button just sitting there), but all these things could also be explained by luck and incompetence.

I used FB to conduct an informal poll asking: Would you describe CitW as "gory"?
Here are all the responses.
Woman, early 20s: no way, it was totally tame.
Dude, early 40s: No. There is some gore, but it's not a gory movie.
Former child actor, late 20s: The walking dead series is much gorier.
Dude, mid 30s: Not particularly, though it is a bit head-rolly.
Horror director, early 30s: no way
Dude, early 20s: Nope.
Dude, mid 30s: Compared to the genre? Nah. Compared to Sesame Street? Yeah, just a bit. Also, it should have been an SNL sketch.
We get it, Dok. You don't think it was gory.
Is it for some reason important that you make sure everyone in this thread agrees with you?

The only thing I think lacks a clear explanation is the blood collected, that Hadley released into the machine after each death. Not theirs? Collected while they sleep, months ago?
got me. hahahaha"sexy witches" and "finance"
Hopefully we can see the whole board as a bonus feature or something,
Finance is the crew that was betting on Werewolf, if you notice, the monster is on the left and the better is on the right on each half of the whiteboard. Unless you actually think having a finance dept. at a place of sacrificial business is funny, if so, carry on
Is it gory? As the last member of Dook's survey said, if you're familiar with the genre, no. This is Joss' answer to torture porn, so it is purposefully tame on the gore side.
I'm over-analyzing this, butit doesn't make any sense that the different sites, which operate independently but are ultimately part of the same organization, would have different requirements when they're all seeking to fulfill the same set of angry gods.
What? I saw it more as a love letter to the horror genre tropes. It's basically the Borderlands of the genre.
God, I want this to get to BD as soon as possible.
lol
Does it bother you that some people don't agree with you?
Not at all, but apparently it bothers you, or else you would have not gone out into the real world to get other people's opinions just so you could come back on the internet and go "lol see i'm right". Especially after you made a post implying you would drop it.
Girl likes suspense/thriller scary movies, NOTHING gory. Can I take her to see this?

Saw it today and loved it. Laughed my ass off, and loved the interactions between Jenkins and Whitford. The best horror-comedy since Shaun of the Dead.
Among the various possible monsters on the control room white board, one of them is just listed as "Kevin." Although Kevin is never seen, in the tie-in book The Cabin in the Woods: The Official Visual Companion co-writer Drew Goddard said that Kevin was meant to be "a sweet-looking guy who seemed like he might work at Best Buy--until he dismembers people."
It's a "loving hate letter", from Whedon's own words.

TUCKER AND DALE was really quite charming.
TROLLHUNTER is among the best mockumentary horror flicks. Great creature design throughout.
