Today's Evil Beet Gossip

The Cabin in the Woods IS JUST SO FRIGHTENING, WOOOO

OK, does someone wanna explain to me just what the hell this is? Is it a horror movie? A film about government conspiracy? A skin flick set in the Evil Dead cabin? And in any case, hasn’t it kind of been done to death, what with all of the OTHER set-in-a-cabin-in-the-woods movies that have come out over the past five years?

From IMDB:

A group of friends at a cabin retreat scratch the surface of something so massive and horrific that they can only begin to fathom it as time quickly runs out.

Yeah. I guess it has been done to death, now, hasn’t it? The only different here is that Miley Cyrus‘s stupid boyfriend‘s brother is in it, so it’s going to attract all of the teenyboppers and open the newest generation up to a world of stupid, don’t-make-’em-like-they-used-to horror movies. WTG, guys.

  • Had you clicked your own link you may discovered that this is a Joss Whedon movie. A man exceptionally skilled at making things that are funny, scary, and genuinely tear jerking.

    So I guess what I’m saying to you, Miss Internet Writer, is get some talent before you start shit talking.

    • Had you read the article she wrote, you’d have discovered that she wasn’t wondering WHO made it. She can likely read as she writes fairly well. (Which is a talent, btw.)

      And saying Whedon’s “exceptionally skilled” is … going a bit far. He’s talented though.

      And … for Pete’s sake, this _IS_ a gossip column. Its like you stumbled into a BSM convention, saw some people spanking each other, and yelled: “Get a room!”. Weird.

      If she made a mistake, it is in not figuring out from the trailer that the film is over-the-top and so is likely a parody.

      *shrug* Joss figured out that it has been done to death, but this was shot in 2009 and sat in the can for a few years.

  • Seriously. Joss Whedon is the best director and producer out there and he wanted to take a stab at the overdone genre. If anyone can make it work, it’s Joss. You really ought to know about someone so significant and artistic.

  • i sorta got “government plays huge spooky prank on some randos to see which of them actually shits their pants so they can laugh about it later”

  • I fucking LOVE Joss Whedon. I’ll see this in a heartbeat. Has anyone watched Firefly or Serenity? If you haven’t you should cause it’ll change your life.

  • Who cares about Miley’s boyfriend’s brother? It’s Fran Kranz! Fell in love with him in Dollhouse…and even though this movie doesn’t look great I’ll prob see it since it’s Joss Whedon. Might be better than it looks.
