As a hardcore horror fan I adore this movie. Any fresh spin on the genre is very welcome. Also how I feel about Tucker and Dale vs Evil. And I desperately want that collapsible coffee mug bong

Happy Friday, Addie. I'm so glad that you enjoyed The Cabin in the Woods (2011). Now I wanna watch this one. BTW, Lionsgate has the Red Gears logo to open any of their horror movies.

Addie at the beginning "I wish it wasnt so dark" and Addie once the killing starts "Im glad its dark" hahahah

Adrian Duenas

This, Poltergeist, Zodiac, Shutter Island, and Final Destination all in one month. Sorry Addie but I’m already thinking about next October

Happy Friday, Addie! 😊 This is such a great movie. Definitely one of my favorites. Definitely looking forward to watching this reaction here shortly as soon as it gets dark outside. Have a great rest of the day & weekend! 😊

The darkest thing about this movie is that it's streaming through Disney+

I love how many of the monsters you see once they're unleashed were on the betting board. I also like that the board included both "Witches" followed by "Sexy Witches" and one just listed as "Kevin". 😄 P.S. I always liked Fran Kranz (Marty) from the Joss Whedon show Dollhouse too.

If you didn't realize this during the edit or after, the movie is actually a commentary on the horror movie industry. Ancient Ones: the horror fans/audience The organization itself: the movie studios The employees: movie production crews The ritual: horror films The organization has turned the ritual into something completely formulaic. They don't really care about what they're doing anymore, they're just filling out a list of checkboxes. That's a nod to the lack of originality in horror films, especially in the 2000s. Mordecai tries to warn them that something's going wrong, but they just make fun of him and ignore him. That's analogous to old school horror directors trying to warn the industry that it's growing stale. All the rituals failing early except the US and Japan is a nod to the horror movie industry failing around the world. The industry was only somewhat strong in Japan(Ringu, etc.) and the US. But even those markets are failing. The organization is just going through the motions to the point that all the youth are wrong for their parts(a nod to miscasting in horror films). The "virgin" is having an affair with her professor. The "whore" is one of the smartest. So is the "athlete". So is the "fool". There are multiple ways to look at how the group SHOULD have been arranged, but here's one: - Dana - Whore (affair with professor) - Marty - Virgin (when he and Jules dated, they only kissed) - Curt - Scholar (full academic scholarship) - Jules - Fool (she's always joking around) - Holden - Athlete (Curt says he's got the best hands on the team) (I'm not saying this is the only way to look at the roles, or the "correct" way, just one way.) I feel like this is one of those movies that gets better every time you watch it because you pick up more and more of the little things.

This may be my favorite horror comedy. My only real complaint about this movie is that the monster they summoned was essentially zombies. I would have liked to see them being chased and killed by something really different. There were some interesting things in the facility's monster cages. But really that's just a small nitpick. Still one of my favorite movies. I'm glad you survived it, Addie (I totally forgot about the snake). ✌️🤓

It could have easily lead to sequels if they hadn't let the world get destroyed.

great reaction! im so glad you enjoyed it! i LOVE this movie, there are two sides to the story, the In universe Story and the Meta story. firstly about the people doing dumb things like going outside or actually acting stupid in general, the in lore reason is the organization, they manipulate everything to better fit the ritual, they added stuff to Jules' hair dye to make her dumber, i imagine they also influenced her going blond in the first place, they also upped her libido because they were making her fit the "role" of the "Whore", but we see at the start of the movie, like with the others, they dont really fit the roles, (which is the meta commentary coming in) so they needed to change them and force them into the needed roles, we know Dana isnt a virgin but we see her acting more and more reserved and even saying "ive never" then looking confused why she said it, because they were trying to make her fit the role, same with Curt getting dumber and acting like the alpha jock, despite earlier saying Holden was the star of the team, and and giving Dana suggestions on what to study, Holden starts wearing glasses and acting nerdy, to make him fit the Scholar role, the only one who was resistant (because apparently they missed 1 of his weed stashes which was the one he took on the trip,) was Marty, its why he heard them influencing them in the basement, and again later in his room, sadly he wasn't fully immune as we see him decide to go for a walk anyway despite knowing he heard the "puppeteers". all of this to complete the ritual, and Dana needed to be last, or the only survivor for the ritual to work. now all of that is in lore, but its extremely meta too, its commenting on how formulaic a lot of horror is, how it normally puts people in these one dimensional roles with zero depth so they can then kill them off, and only the main character might get to live, but she needs to suffer first, it also points out how people do some really dumb stuff in horror movies, like splitting up (due to the chemicals in the vents influencing them), or going outside, and staying outside (they kept changing the environment so it was more comfortable for them, or even (my favourite) how often in horror movies people drop or leave weapons behind, Dana, after beating the zombie with Holden, is still holding the weapon, we see the control guys hit a switch which then subtly saps the hammer in her hand, causing her to drop it but not alerting her, they engineered her leaving the weapon behind. this is a movie that gets better and better everytime you watch it as you notice more little things, like in the basement you can match so many of the things we see with the monsters at the end, and yea while they "choose" how they transgress "if they dont transgress they dont get punished" but they dont really choose, as we see the control room influence then to go down, even telling Dana she should read it out loud. also there are SO many easter eggs in the elevator scene, the twins from the shining, monster from Left 4 Dead game, even the less subtle pin head reference, (tho instead of a cube he has a sphere lol) the clown being an obvious one too. but yea fun scene to go back and look at if you're a fan of that stuff. but yea i love this movie, i think its a great movie on its own, but when put in the context, (Viewers are the ancients, the organization is the studios trying to appease the viewers.) and all the meta commentary it becomes an amazing movie. sorry for the ramble lol, im glad you seemed to enjoy yourself despite the jumpscares and not normally being a fan of horror! great reaction as always! (also something i missed on my first watch through, i believe Marty is what stopped the cave in, they mention a power overwrite from up top caused the signal to never be sent, we later see Marty has been messing with the maintenance panel trying to figure out how to work it, suggesting him messing with that nearly saved the others)
