Just the term “husband bulge” alone cracks me up and Marty just walking by dropping that on them cracked me up so much in the theaters.
I was waiting for a quick cut to the "technical difficulties" sign
Wow I would have loved seeing this movie at the theaters!! o:
"is he talking about us?
Nope"
actually, he was.
the old gods they mention and that we see at the end are indeed the consumers that buy and watch movies and if the movie isn't good and we are not satisfied, then the world that the movie has created gets left behind, which is essentially the end of that world.
19:35 actually, yes he is talking about you both and everyone who watches films. This movie is so great on so many levels. As a surface narrative, it's fun and horrifying at the same time, but in a deeper understanding it is very thought out and explains so many tropes found in most horror movies.
yeah a fan theory or maybe the truth is, the ancient ones are US that get upset if a movie isn't gorey enough or too bland and want fomulaic stuff.
@@wolfwing1 for sure it's a satire of the audience as the gods to satisfy , first time i watched it i took it like that. it's a great twist but the movie is too dark sometimes and u do not see much + it's a shame that it was just a classic zombie family who were " chosen " .
yeh when she said "i didnt pay to watch this" i was like - yes you did lol
@@AngeAlexiel I would love just a series of movies, same plot, but each time they use a different item :> The funnist thing I remember in the movie was how they tease you something and most movies it just be a cute easter egg, oh look at all the monsters, too bad last time we see them,and then BOOM they are all there giving you exacty what you want.
if I have one small issue with the movie :> I think releasing all the monsters staisfied the ancient ones a ton :> It wasnt' the trope deaths, but much goryer and such hehe :>
@@wolfwing1 good idea, i thought for a long time that this movie could have sequels in other countries or culture like Japan . but it was a one shot. and i'm okay with it cos the movie pointed all the flaws or tropes of most horror flicks.... but yeah sequels would be cool though
Ive read a very interesting comment under another reaction video about this movie, by "Grumpy Old Guy Plays Games"
"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."
If humans have to go through this much bullshit just so "ancient beings" don't kill us, I don't think it's worth it at all lol
Never thought of this, these are some pretty cool points.
It's really stupid when people try to rearrange the sacrifices to make them fit. Exactly as stupid as the controllers doing it as they did. In reality, ALL of them are pretty smart, and all of the guys are well-developed athletically. Dana might have a bad relationship, but she is more reserved than a whore archetype. Marty might be technically a virgin, but he doesn't fit a virgin archetype either. The point is: the controllers were trying to tell the same story again and again, but they really chose the sacrifices badly. Not just which one to assign each role; the whole group should not be made to play the game - or (speaking from controllers' perspective) it would be better to change the game entirely.
True.
my question is why does it have to be these people. Anyone can fit those roles.
I also think the "underground team" was too lax, as all they had to do is get the teens there, and kill them. Why do they have so many killer entities, and why do they allow the teens to "pick" their killer? I would have rather send 2 killers in, and bet on which one gets the most kills.
"Because I've walked through a forest before."
(Nice recovery, bro. Night on the couch averted. 🤣)
A "cottage in the forest" sounds like a lovely place to visit. A "cabin in the woods" not so much.
Some say that the Whedonverse goes:
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - in which we learn about the Slayers, Watchers, and Institute.
2. Cabin in the Woods - where the Institute fails to contain the Ancient Ones.
3. Firefly - where the Watchers attempt to bring back the Slayers.
Also, unicorns are no joke - they'll murder non-virgins.
I saw that theory too some time back, where the Ancient Ones are rampaging on Earth and caused the humans to escape into space and colonize, and the remnants of the Watchers are trying to find a way to create artificial Slayers to retake Earth.
It's not a bad theory.
So technically.... if any of the "scientists" in the facility was a virgin, their sacrifice would have worked, right? Like why the specific virgin and fool? Those roles would have been able to be filled by anyone fitting the description.
The little pop tarts discussion😭😂 I love you guys 😭😭😭 you guys make these so fun seriously. No acting. No fake persona for the camera , you guys are simply being yourselves and it makes this so fun. And aside from that this movie is a ✨ masterpiece ✨ omfg I wish there were more movies like this although this movies truly a rarity and slept on by a lot of people BUT NOT YOU GUYS haha
Thank you so much! Such a nice comment, really appreciate that you appreciate how we are!
Theres another couple that watches movies (Theyre British) hint hint**....And they are the fuxking WORSTTT!. They sometimes pick some good movies, but its impossible to make it through a whole reaction.. They just over-act for everything at such an extreme level that its hard to describe..
they're so cute!
@@GeneralBuckNaked Who??
The basic plot is kind of the opposite of a C'tulhu plot. In the Lovecraft stories, you'll have a cult that is trying to summon the "Elder Gods." In this movie, you have a group of people that perform the ritual in order to keep the gods at bay.
It's more like an SCP foundation movie
technically if a cult summoned these elder gods, there would be a group keeping them suppressed. Once you summon them, the next best thing you can do is keeping them asleep
I am so glad you guys did this one. It is one of my favourite movies ever. Perfect blend between horror, comedy, campiness, meta, with the tropes of horror explained in very fun way! Exceptionally well done movie!
9:05 “This director like his two-way mirrors, huh?”
Yes, finally!… everyone calls those damn things one-way mirrors.
EVERY mirror is a one-way mirror. They only work one way. These are two-way mirrors!
I love that they put the Creatures from Left4Dead in the movie. They can be spotted in their chambers waiting to unleash terror among the living. Sad we don't see any carnage made by them :(
Curt’s death is freaking hilarious. Legend has it, he’s still bouncing off the invisible wall at this moment.
Bad things happen to those that break The 4th Wall :-)
Would have been better if she'd actually forgotten about the wall. But she was _on top of it_ the whole way through the movie.
The year this came out, I went to The Cabin in the Woods Haunted House at Universal Studios. As we walked through, we turned a corner into a hallway of elevator doors. And MF, we had to walk down it. And yes. They all opened. It was bad.
This is an absolutely brilliant tour-de-force movie. I use it to select friends - if the response is "I don't get it - it wasn't very scary" then you are off the friend's list.
I am now adopting this practice you are a genius my good sir
This movie is just way to much damn fun. Saw this in theaters thinking it was gonna be your regular horror fare... oh man came out so happy. It's a love letter to the whole horror genre. While being a really solid film itself and making fun of all the tropes. And I love that they consitently talk about how the customers demand more... us. The literal paying customers of the film. It's just so brilliantly written, and fun.
This movie is the shit. I love it, I wish I saw it in theaters. This is one of those movies that gets better with each viewing. You catch more references, jokes, even clues. One of my favorites. 10/10
This movie is the exact opposite of “They had us in the first half” 😂😂😂
A couple of fun facts for you guys, the stoner dude was actually in real life really stacked and that went against his character so they had to dress him in really baggy clothes, I heard him described as being massive at the time muscle wise so they had to hide it, also his bong Im sure cost around 20,000 to make for the movie
I loved how this movie is a parody of slasher films. And it pokes fun at the genre. The Ancient Ones are in reference to the audience. Favorite part of this was when they reference the incident in the 90's where America failed. This is a reference to The Faculty who had all the architype for each character. But no one died and they fought off the monsters with homemade drugs . All and all, I found this movie to be fun.
This movie is very meta, making homage to 1980's and 90's horror films.
It was intended for a 2009 release date but was delayed as MGM was filing for bankruptcy. It was finally released in 2011.
It's not paying homage to other horror movies. It's implying that all other horror movies have been successful sacrifices to the ancient ones. All horror movies had similar people behind the scenes.
@@jasongivens6749 it technically is still an homage to horror movies and horror villains though I agree with you that was the main point
It was released, April 13 2012, actually.
@@jasongivens6749it's both
Everyone agrees that S'mores pop tarts are the best. And by everyone I mean me.
I don't think we need monsters to help our civilization ton to collapse. We are more than capable of doing that to ourselves sadly.
We are the ancient ones here and we are the monsters in this comment lol
I saw this pop up in my feed and I clicked so fast. ohhh I'm excited for this. I love this movie so much.
Yessssss! I love this movie!! It’s one of my all time favorites and not nearly enough people react to it! So I get hella pumped when reactors that I already watch and enjoy all the time check it out!
You were spot on about them lacing the stoners weed but it was stated in the commentary that he was paranoid and had a secret weed stash nobody knew about and that was what he was smoking and allowed him to survive
This is why whenever I chance upon a creepy old cabin in the woods that contains ANYTHING in an ancient, dead language, I just burn it down and keep walking. :D
This movie was like an Homage to season 4 episode 21 of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" which had to be a big inspiration to Joss from Joss.
The blond girl is from one of the Power Rangers shows. Jungle Fury I think. There is a theory that the reason Marty survived is because he is the actual virgin of the group. Which would make the red head the fool.
" The Hills Have Eyes " 1977 is a must 👁️👁️
Favorite creatures were the dismemberment goblins, shown tearing guards apart and running over people with a golf cart.
One thing I want to point out. You guys touched on it briefly but the movie does tell you that they have to choose their fates. Had the group ignored the basement they'd have had a fun if potentially odd stay at the cabin and gone home in theory.
Best monster... the Unicorn, why? For once they did a lore accurate one in media... Unicorns were never originally portrayed as friendly creatures, just like all fae like creatures they were the sort of thing you didn't want to have anything to do with if you ran into one.
One of those old myths that got twisted and sanitized over the centuries. Like fairies, going from beings who'd toy and play with humans for twisted enjoyment or just because they could, or forging often detrimental bargains for boons on desperate people... to small pretty winged benign things that granted wishes etc
🤣 No way I thought I was the only one who thought of the Scooby-Doo connection 🤣
It's quite simple when you think about it. In this movie us as the veiwers are the Anciant Ones because we demand blood and violence when it comes to horror movies and when we don't get that the people rise up and get angry. The different catagories are basically what one expects in a horror movie and yes the vigin's death is optinal because that's how most horror movies work. They failed to have what the veiwers wanted and thus in the end the Ancint Ones rose up.
Also I think it's also talking about sociaty and the fact that death and violence has always been something that mankind has craved to see and they are showing that in a way that is saying it's not a good thing that things are that way and we need to change some how.
Apparently the only way they could get Segorney to agree to act there was have a werewolf in the movie she was so excited to see it and took pictures on set with the actor that was in the suit.
That husbands bulge joke was the funniest thing I’ve ever heard 😂😂💀
She's a Joe Bob Mutant!
Gotta love Joe Bob, can't wait for the Halloween episode and season 5!
You're going to enjoy this so much!
Especially the twist at the end!
4:43 When he says "I hate when that happens", I thought that was a ridiculous thing to say. Then I realized, I usually just see them from the waist up, so maybe he's speaking from experience. How would I know?
The wolf head was not real, they weren't allowed to use one, never found out why, but anyway the art/ prop department made it up out of some material and coated the washable tongue with powdered sugar.
"That reminds me of the weird movie with the weird creatures."
Spy Kids.
My favorite anecdote about this film is that they had an advance screening where the audience could ask questions to the director after. One of them asked "Is there going to be a sequel?" and the director replied "Did you see the end to my film???"
Favorite homage that I only noticed this go 'round: the hand print on their RV that's a total send up to TXCM
Favorite Monster: Tooth Fairy ballerina. Very creative and creepy design.
13:25 , Fun fact: it wasn't
There is an series of videos on youtube called "Kill count" where they analyze how many people died in these movies (Characters not actors), while describing backstage and production content of said movies, and they did an vid on this movie. So, that wolf head isn't an real pupper, due to Canadian laws they weren't allowed to use an real one, so they made an fake (real convincing one at that) and for the comfort of the actress even powdered some sugar on its tongue, so it wasn't that bad, still kinda gross in retrospect, but not as bad as it could've been
I know you saw another movie by this director before this but this was his first movie and when asked about it he said he wanted to make the film like it was the last film he'd ever get to direct
If your familiar with the SCP (Secure, Contain, Protect) wiki, this fits very well into how the Foundation works.
FUN FACT!
AFX studios was the company who did the make up And prosthetic special effects for this movie.. AFX Studio is run by David and his wife, Heather Langenkamp Anderson, Heather Langenkamp Anderson played Nancy on "Nightmare on Elmstreet" she did a lot of the work on this movie.
I've been thinking lately, what would be the worst time for your kids to walk in on the movie. I'm gonna say when all the multiple monsters are tearing the security guys up by the elevators. You don't see that in Peppa Pig.
"I wanna know what happens next..."
Just watch Firefly. there's a fan theory that says Firefly is the universe after the failure in cabin in the woods.
At first you think hey it's just another slasher horror movie, until the end when it turns into an H.P. Lovecraft type story about the "Old Ones". If you folks haven't seen Jeff Bridges in Bad Times at the El Royale you need to check it out. Enjoy
The 5 people in the van referenced I thought it was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
River Tam is a slayer and the reason Earth is lost is because humanity fled from the Old Ones and the Alliance keeps it's location a secret intentionally. The Whedonverse is real.
I love this movie for introducing me to the phrase “husbands bulge”
Heather Langenkamp and her husband own the sfx company that worked on the monsters.
I believe that the hand emerging at the end belongs to Kronos. But I could be wrong.
That unicorn is an odd one isn't? The only white horse I know in slashers is from Rob Zombie's Halloween.
I enjoy the theorys of the Whedon-Verse that link all his creations together such as the Cult\Governmental group are the same group from the Buffy series and that once the Earth is destroyed it leads to Serenity where the reamining humans left.
No party starts with ice cold water
There's a theory that all of Joss Whedon's works share the same 'Verse. And this movie is the lynchpin that connect them.
Buffy and Angel dealing with the monsters - even the Ancient Gods - then this movie explaining how Firefly's 'Earth-That-Was' got "Used Up". Some survivors escaped and found a new solar system to settle.
The Agency in this movie being a possible compilation of Buffy's Initiative & Watcher's Council and Angel's Wolfram & Hart. And in Firefly they became the Blue Sun Corporation
IIRC, Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard wanted to do something together so they locked themselves in a hotel room for a weekend and hammered out the script together. Joss was going to direct it but was busy with other projects and they decided Drew should be the director, his first directing credit.
there are some fan theories that fit this movie into the "Whedonverse" (theories that all of his works are connected). this is how the apocalypse starts from the show Angel and is the reason that "The Earth that was" is destroyed from Firefly.
Lot of folks picked on the Scooby & Buddy connection. This is a unused script from Buffy around the time there was a complex under the school.
Hot dang I'm happy you uploaded, I tested positive for covid and have been binge watching all your videos again all day in bed, rewatched your reaction to demon knight like 3times. You should watch tales from the crypt: bordello of blood! Hope you guys have a great day! Also happy belated birthday! 🎂🎉
I don't even like Hellraiser but I really like sawblade head, like he's just such a good design. Also is it just me or does he have surprisingly kind eyes when Dana's freaking out against the glass? I dunno, he just gives me good vibes, like a "you don't screw with my puzzle sphere and I'm not that bad of a guy."
I really like the ending of this, how they choose to let the world end. Though it's a comparatively "selfish" decision I get it tbh.
I definitely had similar thoughts. Like he was almost fascinated by her reaction, perhaps empathetic if we venture into bolder speculation.
*16:00** mrs movies called everything, from film language alone, at every point along the way w what was on offer at that point.* even away from trope films, thr is a subtle learning about film language that professional critics anr reviewers/reactors get wi about 12-18months which is preternatural.even wo knowing to try to look for things. -JC
And now for the sequel "Rip and tear until it is done"
Anna Hutchison (the blonde) is from NZ.
Chris, obviously everyone knows he's from Australia
I think those film wheels are like the movie Sinister
&
My question is, where they in a dome?
There’s two Buffyverse actors in this also. Amy Acker as Wendy Lin, Facility technician and Tom Lenk as Ronald the Intern, the Facility's intern.
I want to see the 1998 prequel, when the chem department screwed up.
The 'sawhead' reminds me of 'CD Cenobite' from Hellraiser 3
The unicorn is my favorite part, I always laugh
Drew Goddard is the director. He is also the head creator behind the Daredevil Marvel series. The puppeteers are supposed to be a metaphor for Horror movie makers. The ancient ones are a metaphor for horror movie audiences.
He said "game show kinda thing" which made me think. Have you or her seen Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger? That plays into the game show idea.
Which monster was my favorite? Man, I can't say but I will list my top five in no particular order:
1: The Zombie Tank: It's from a video game called left for dead. You can see it ripping a guard in half during the free for all.
2: Kevin: Kevin was a serial killer from the movie Sin City, you can see him in one of the elevators early in the film
3: Angry Molesting Tree: This monster was inspired by Harry Potter's Whomping willow. You can see it explode a guy when the teens let all the monsters out.
4: The Sugarplum Fairy: The ballerina with a face full of teeth. The wife said it reminded her of IT.
5: The Witch : Also from the video game Left for Dead. If she sees you she chases you indefinitely. You can see her ripping a guard's face off during the big fight.
The tree is definitely a homage to evil dead, where trees y'know🤣 There's a boomer and a hunter from L4D too in the cages😊
During the swimming scene Marty diddnt take his shirt off because the actor is ripped and they thought a sooner wouldn’t have abs like that.
The customers is actually very much us, that was the intended implication. We are the ancient ones demanding horror movies cater to our every whims or we will tear it a new one if it doesn't have enough gore, not enough TnA, etc. In the end, the operation failed because they mixed up Marty and Dana's role. Marty is the virgin survivor who figures everything out and who's against taking the wrong actions, like a proper protagonist. Dana is the fool. She literally did every mistake and made every wrong decision (it's easier to catch on a 2nd viewing), as well as not being a virgin... This deviation from the norm is unacceptable! Lets rage about it online for hours on end, like true keyboard warriors!
PS: Ironically - but not really - some of the best horror movies from the last 20 years often widely deviate from the usual tired tropes, or completely reverse expectations (like this very movie does). This goes to show, sometimes, people just don't know what's best, even when they think they do.
Awesome movie, Joss whedon is clever with the one liners
One of my favorites hope you guys enjoy thanks for the upload and have a great week 🙋🏾♂️
Her:
"It's like...IT".
Me:
"Not It...Hellraiser!"
Him:
"Instead of Sawhead...Pinhead".
😉
Btw: the dock scene was from Friday the 13th pt 6, 'The New Blood'.
(Virgin jokes welcome!)
A little 13 Ghosts, The Ring and a wager board all set to inspire DEADPOOL
Glad your 2 still going. Love your old lady reactions. Perfect couple.👍
The ancient one's sure are a picky lot huh cause those monsters killed everyone in that building and they still weren't happy
I prefer the term "eldritch" to just using the cthulhu moniker to refer to cosmic horror like the Ancient Ones. He can be a bit played out.
The real joke was that he thought he needed TWO pillows to hide the 'husband bulge'... lol
A social experiment No. Just a ritual that needs to be preformed like a slasher movie. Genius movie for real. Loved it glad you watched it. Watch MAYHEM. You're going to love that one too
Great two flavors of poptarts.
I was also a blonde as a kid and turned brunette when I went through puberty.
Ok, non monster social experiment movie: the killing room. Its a helluva watch.
They totally had pop tarts after this lol.
This is a great fun movie to watch.
One that you can re-watch time and again
In my headcanon: after this, its like Attack on Titan, where some bands of humans still survive and fight the giants whilst holding up in fortified cites... idk lol
One of my faves! Genius.
I think my favorite creature was the guy with saw blades on his head. His stare was terrifying. The Werewolf was pretty cool too.
God this movie is so fucking hilarious, loved it, great pick.
this movie has layers in it. when it was released, people are so confused on what is this so this movie wasn't really received that well until years later when people rewatched the movie and see the meaning behind it. even the supposed to be "villains" aren't really because they are the ones keeping the end of the world in check.
It was universally acclaimed and has an average review score of 92% on rotten tomatoes (making it one of the most highly acclaimed horror films of the last 10 years). It was also a box office success making back more than double its budget in ticket sales. It's dvd/blu-ray sales also hit #1, over all other movies, when they came out.
@@separator94 it's opening week made $14 million with a budget of $30 million. the user scores aren't only from the year it was released that's why i said "until years later when people rewatched it". i remember this movie having no audience when it was shown to theaters in my area and just by google search, it only made double from its budget which is not good for any film. making "double" on any film is never good nor it's considered a success. different factors take cuts from the money that the movie made.
"Gotta keep the customer satisfied"... yes that's one conceit of the movie- you are the customers.
When this came out I was so happy that the STONER WAS THE MVP!!
Never READ THE LATIN!!!
You two like the same pop-tarts I do. Strawberry and brown sugar. I like them without the frosting though, and finding those is impossible where I live, except for strawberry. I actually don't like the ending to the film, it was just too convenient.
Well, if you can't beat 'em join 'em. All hail our Eldritch Overlords.
~P'tagh, flaghn, ai Cuthulu~

As a matter of fact, they are talking about us. See, the Ancient Ones, as a super secret crazy twist, are supposed to be us, the audience, watching the film. Think about it.
- Every year, we come to the theater to watch a bunch of teenagers having sex and get murdered by a random monster, just like how every year there is a ritual sacrifice to satisfy the "customers."
- The orginization running this whole thing, or in comparison the Hollywood suits, shell out the exact same thing to satisfy us and make money out of it.
- We get upset when a character dies off screen because we know they are still alive, much like how the Ancient Ones shook the very earth during Marty's supposed death.
- When they said as the world was about to end, "it's time to give someone else a chance" and "maybe it is time for a change" they were referring to the horror genre as a whole. New, inventive horror movies need to be given a chance to shine, like the Babadook or The Lighthouse, while giving a rest to creating or rebooting the same cliche slasher films.
I have to say I pretty much had the same reaction to the elevator scene. It is such an instant slaughter that's it's hard not to laugh at it. I don't think I've ever seen anybody get rocked that hard that fast.
