"maybe you're right and they're wrong"

One of the reasons I love this film is that its all about hubris. The controllers have done this so many times that they no longer are as careful or precise about the sacrifices as they might have once been. They're supposed to gather up and sacrifice a bunch of young people who fit certain archetypes (the Virgin, the Whore, the Athlete, the Scholar, and the Fool). The problem is, they get the archetypes wrong. They've assigned the roles to Dana (Virgin), Jules (Whore), Curt (Athlete), Holden (Scholar), and Marty (Fool), when none of them actually fit those roles. Dana might seem virginal, but early in the movie she confesses to an affair with her professor. Jules is sexy and dresses skimpy, but she's also flighty and overly concerned with non-important things in her life; also she is in a clearly loving and utterly monogamous relationship with Curt, which hardly fits the whore archetype. Curt might seem like a jock, but his athletic skills are mediocre at best, and he's seen lugging around high-level textbooks dealing with subjects like the Psychology of the Soviet System. Holden is smart, sure, but at the same time he's clearly more athletic than Curt is, and while he has the raw intelligence, he's clearly lazy about it. And Marty... well, Marty might be a stoner but he also admits he's never had sex in his life. So... Had the controllers done the research, they would have realized that the archetypes should have been assigned with Dana being the Whore, Jules being the Fool, Curt being the Scholar, Holden being the Athlete, and Marty being the Virgin.

you are right because Marty was meant to be the final girl ( or final guy in this case ) this being a horror movie, He was able to survive being killed early because he has that protection of plot armor, and he also can be the one that can save the others from getting killed because of said armor. when Marty saves Dana by the lake. Also if you watch the movie again, it is subtle but he was the one making all the observations and or discoveries that a final girl does in a horror movie. He found the camera, he found the tunnel, hell he was one telling them to let leave this damn basement and don't touch shit.

That could have made for an alternate ending when the ancient ones considered the group’s actual types instead of the ones assigned by the facility. The ground shaking, seeming like the end of the world, Dana gives some final words while smoking and slumps over dead from her wounds. The earthquake seems to intensify only to ease off and end. A glowing portal opens in front of Marty. He looks suspiciously at it, shrugs, gives a “what the hell” and stands up to walk into it. He comes out of the doorway of his closet into his bedroom. He looks around bewildered. He states out the window seeing the world at peace. END TITLE CARD

They did do the blood ritual for Marty, the one with the cup. But If you remember, after they did that, the frame shook, and it never did that with any of the other victims. It shook because the ancient ones knew he was still alive, and therefore, they were mad. It is such a tiny detail you don't really think about, unless you watch the movie again.

There’s also a theory that nearly every employee in the Organisation survived a ritual at some point and are all virgins. They’re reward for surviving is working at The Organisation helping to keep the world from ending This can be supported by the fact that all those guys came into see Jules naked and also the fact that these people need to work and possibly live there to keep watch of everything not having time for relationships or family. Also how would they know about the organisation aside from Daniel who seems to be unaware probably because he was hired late. They would’ve need to be briefed about the history of it and what goes on and shown how to operate a specific section they are assigned to. To prove this even further you can see Wendy trying to flirt with Daniel in the control room and he just brushes her off. It’s a very dark theory but could be quite possible

Sigourney Weaver is beloved in the horror community, I watch somewhere that the director wanted specifically to cast her for that role but he thought that she wouldn't accept to it cause it wasn't a big movie but she accepted (obviously) and was so happy and excited with the werewolf taking pictures, some actually said that the scene with the werewolf was actually to make her even happier

That cold opening was the fastest I immediately knew I'd found a new favorite movie. This film was an absolute hoot and played so much with the tropes we all know and love. The best meta horror since Scream!

Even before things started going crazy, I felt like these kids were a perfect one-to-one match for the Scooby gang. And it fits that Shaggy and Scooby Doo were the last to survive.

The characters also align with the characters from Scooby Doo, though I guess those are archetypes as much as any

This movie totally blew me away when I watched it This movie is also a commentary on viewers.... The gods are us the viewers of horror movies, Scientist are the creators of horror movies and the people trapped are like characters of the horror movies ...

Marty represents the “fool” of the story. Fool has become thought of a funny, or misguided, but really, the fool pretty much always speaks the truth but is dismissed by all others for one reason or another, and usually treated like they are stupid, even though what they say comes to pass.

Had to look up the connection to The Faculty ... but DAMN that's funny! The only archetype who died was the virgin -- and only cuz she was secretly the monster. And they killed her with their sinful homebrew drugs, no less! DAMN IT CHEM DEPARTMENT, YOU HAD ONE JOB~

Yep, I don't particularly like most horror movies so this was a great way to incorporate the tropes in a novel and interesting story that was more than just a horror film.

Look up "the Ancient Ones of Lovecraft Mythos" H.P. Lovecraft pretty much started the Eldritch Horror genre. He created a pantheon of ancient races and the Gods they worshiped he freely allowed others to use them in their stories. Cabin In The Woods is a very Lovecraftian story.

"We're not the only ones watching, kid. Gotta keep the customer satisfied." The writers were referring to the movie-goer, playing into how nearly every horror film from the 70's on included T&A to appease the movie audience.

I feel like if Angel had continued for a few more seasons it would lead to something like this. Fred being in it adds to that Angel vibe too.

Yayyyyyyy I was hoping for this! The first time I watched this as soon as the credits rolled I knew it was one of my favourite films. I usually have a double bill of this and Evil Dead 2 every Halloween :)

This and Army of Darkness are two classics that pair well together!!

The reference to a screw up in 1998 is a fun little Easter Egg. Fans have suggested several references including everything from The Cabin (1998) to an insulting reference to Godzilla (1998). The main contenders are Halloween H20 (where the final girl kills the killer) and The Faculty (where not only do the kids survive, but the failure is chemistry related).

1998 is also when Buffy and ger friends stop the rising demon in a battle that destroys the high school. Was that a fail?

The Old One(s)/The Ancient One(s) is/are based on H.P Lovecraft's mythology with otherworldly deities like Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Kthaw'keth and so on. In this case it's based on the most well known cosmic entity of Lovecraft's pantheon, Cthulhu. This movie is mixing many horror tropes into one, ranging from Lovecraftian horror (early 1900's) to modern horror tropes.

Lmao this movie is awesome for the fact a Stoner survived most of the horribleness 😂

I love this movie so much. As many have already stated the archetypes (the Virgin, the Whore, the Athlete, the Scholar, and the Fool) are the usual characters in a Hollywood horror movie. Same can be seen when they talk about Japanese horror movies usually featuring schoolkids. Also the Old Ones are us the audience. And one of the controllers mentions later on in the movie that if the old ones are not pleased their world gets destroyed as in it does not get a sequel.

The audience who view horror films are the "Ancients", demanding that kids get sacrificed in any number of ways to satisfy those who watch. Not the most subtle of messages, but fully accurate.

For years I worked as an engineer in the Defense Contractor industry, and I feel like I worked with the people running the cabin in this movie. A bunch of math and engineering nerds with no hobbies (not even nerdy ones) wearing white button-down shirts, ties and pocket protectors - that had no moral qualms about inventing weapon systems that turned people into smoked sausage. And they all thought I was the weird guy because I had friends, played video games and read something other than technical manuals. I was working up the nerve to give two weeks notice when I got laid off, and it's the best thing that ever happened to me. I didn't want to end up one of the soul-less guys in this movie, working 9 to 5 for Evil Inc.

The real twist was going to be the young girl shooting the stoner…who was in fact the true virgin unknown to even the game crew! It was going to trigger the hands.

What is really fun is to imagine these people watching and orchestrating the other horror movies that came out before this. They are the reason that these monsters really always come back

I'm one of the people that recommended this movie so thank you for doing this one. This movie is amazing and a truly underrated classic.

That this film is a good way to finish Natmares, cinematically-speaking. We really needed some great suggestions for next year's so Tucker and Dale can fill the same role.

I've always liked the fan theory that this is the apocalyptic event that cause people to flee earth in Firefly...

The reason that Marty’s stereotype was bloodied even though he wasn’t dead is because it’s not their blood. It’s lamb blood that symbolizes each of them and because they thought he died, they prematurely filled his symbol with blood.

The film is filled to the brim with cool trivia! It was shot in 2009, and Chris Hemsworth's performance here brought him to the attention of Marvel studios. The kids are the Scooby gang in all but name, if you count "Holden" as Scooby. The cabin itself is an homage to Sam Raimi's low budget horror, The Evil Dead. "The Ancient Ones"are in a sense the audience, demanding the story fulfill certain cliches. They're also an homage to The Old Ones, and the 20th century's greatest master of horror, HP Lovecraft (so named by the 21st century's master, Stephen King.) Nobody's yet made THE Lovecraft movie, but ALIEN, In the Mouth of Madness, and this film come closest.

Love that you loved it. It's so brilliant! A satirical take on the entire horror genre, where if all the right tropes are met, it appeases the consumer... Yep, the "Ancient Ones" are audiences, unaccepting of anything outside the box within the genre. It's a fantastic horror movie as well as a big middle finger 😂

"Chris Hemsworth is in this" "I think a lot of people will die" Everyone smiles at this "I don't know how far he'll make it" Everyone smiles more. Fun Fact: The stoner wears all those cloths because the actor is actually super jacked.

Did you get the meta jokes and satirical stuff? “The ancient ones”, for instance, were a stand in for the audience. They have to accept what the filmmakers have made or the movie will bomb critically and/or financially.

I loved how the film used the horror tropes to explain why the sacrifice didn't work. None of the people in the gang fitted properly into the stereotypes: the virgin was sleeping with her teacher, the promiscuous blonde was dying her hair and was manipulated using chemicals, the jock was into philosophy etc. Joss did a good job sketching this out.

I was lucky enough to watch this in a stacked theatre with Horror movie fans, and it was a standing ovation at the end. Everyone in that theatre loved it and it's been in my movie collection now for years. It's a yearly watch for me. Glad you got around to watch this, Nat!

This movie is awesome. Kind of reminds me of the The Final Girls in terms of being meta.

Nat: "Who commissioned this???" Me: "We did. You did. You're watching it for entertainment right now!" :D

Was really in awe when I was this movie. To take a genre and it's famous tropes and flip it on its head was just an enjoyable breath of fresh air to me. The homage to the creatures we all know and love, the clever 4th wall breaking while still kinda not breaking it and making it a key element of the story is amazing. Everything about this is just *chef's kiss PERFECT.

The first time I saw this movie, knowing nothing about it, I was just flipping through the channels. I came in right before the bird hit the forcefield. I was immediately hooked and it just kept getting better.

Favorite death is if you miss the bird at the beginning it makes chris hemsworth's death even more shocking, I noticed it and got so excited when he grabbed the dirt bike

That's why there's the quarterback, the hot blonde, the stoner, etc. That's why there has to be a sex scene, why there has to be a cursed object that sets everything in motion. That's why there has to be a final girl whose death is optional, etc.

I do love the connected universe theory that links Buffy/Angel to this film and to Firefly. The idea that this facility was run by the Initiative and that the Old Ones that awoke were the Senior Partners in Angel, with River in Firefly being the first active Slayer in 500 years.

This movie is definitely one of the movies where the less someone knows going in the better the experience is. And if that person is also familiar with horror movies and their tropes.

Such a brilliant movie. The fact that is both makes fun of and also pays homage to all the horror movie tropes is just wonderful.

When it came out, I was surprised how many critics failed to notice the manipulation and dishonesty of that organization. They talk about how the friends had to be punished through a choice of their own free will, but drugging them to alter their choices was somehow an okay part of the ritual. Also, the indifference of their work. The five friends were forced into the roles, regardless of the fit. The "jock" and the "brain" were flipped. Jules had to be drugged and have her hair dyed to make her a "dumb blond", and the "virgin" was just leaving an affair with her professor.

Yes, they were "forced" into stereotypical roles of western horror, but they failed to identify the virgin and the fool. Marty is the only one that might be (and is probably still) a virgin and Dana is kind of a fool in many circumstances, like having an affair with a married professor.

Finally you took the plunge and watched one of the best movies ever made. Such a perfect blend of comedy and horror in this Joss Whedon produced film and directed by Drew Goddard. They both wrote the script and worked together previously on Buffy. I love how the initial start of the movie introducing all the characters was done and even mocked 80's/90's horror films and how they portray all the stereotypical cast. It's pure Gold, dare I say pure Natalie Gold!!!

12: 18 was the moment I thought to myself "Oh now I get it". I even started coming up with my own ideas for other countries England: A vengeful ghost of a jilted Victorian lover. Italy: A Killer who wears a Go-Pro so we see everything from his point of view. Sweden: Everybody realizes that life is meaningless and commits suicide.

Remember the rumbling after Marty "died" that didn't happen any other time? Still my favorite tiny detail is the wormy intern on of the screens using a sign to beg for help. My favorite joke has to be "Oh come on!?"
