Congrats on getting 500,000 subs!
You deserved it dude..
I wish we could get another film in set this universe.
It would need to be set in the past.
I don't see another film ever being made.
Something in the past since the world ended in this movie. But then again, if it's set in the past you know the ritual will succeed.

Maybe with our advanced weaponry and science we could defeat the Old Ones.
@@anubusx Their Gods tho.....
@@glazed_waffle5629 if it breaths, It can die
@@NRV0 would still be fun to watch lol
Honestly this movie exceed my expectations of how fun, scary yet entertaining it was.
Keynan Martinez me too!! My ex wanted to see this so bad and I definitely didn’t want kept talking shit about it all day and I was blown away on how good it was haha.
@@user-mn8ue3su7n The ending gave me chills.
It really didn't seem that scary to me.
Subversion of expectation done right, for once
Agreed. It's one of my favourites. I watched it for the first time with my adult son and we both love Joss Whedon and horror movies and we were sitting there gasping and screaming with laughter and horror as the story unfolded. Best movie watching experience Ever.
"And, the Virgin."
"....wait, me?"
"We work with what we have"
I love everything about this movie lol
I love virgin girl
@حسن السنان we work with what we have
In a moment of complete, resigned pragmatism, the Director acknowledges the girls less than stunning character and suitability as the facilities resident 'virgin'. Only Weaver had the chops to make that sentence work. Best line in the movie.
No way they're finding a female college aged virgin in America lmao
The true highlight is when he finally got to see his beloved Merman
I laughed so hard from that scene. 😂💀
The killer robot in the slaughter scene was always kind of funny to me. Like you've got all these crazy ghosts and supernatural monsters killing everyone.
And then you've got some random killer robot waving its saws around.
All the monsters are references to popular pop-culture horror icons. Clown = IT (among others), giant snake = monster movies, Raping tree = Evil Dead, Hellraiser guy = Hellraiser, even had a Xenomorph like creature and the Masked Intruders from The Strangers. The robot is homicidal AI/sentient machination, which we have plenty of movies about.
The movie is an allegory about how we the audience are actually the Ancient Ones. The stable of monsters, our horror movie DVD collection.
Krogoth didn’t need an explanation, he just said he found it funny as it wasn’t supernatural. It was just klunking about😆
yeah me too, that silly robot. i watched this scene over and over just now to try and figure out what it is doing and why its there. It looks like it uses grappling hooks to pull in the soldiers.
Dru Nature in the book it’s described as a scorpion
@@GibsonGail, I didn't know there was a book.
Thanks to this movie I found out that unicorns are actually evil.🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
Clearaly, you have never played terraria...
Bruh they've got a weapon on their face! You really thought they wouldn't be at the top of the food chain??
What did you think they did with that horn ? Did fruit kabobs ?
@@alicemae9652 so what a weapon can be used for defense but this unicorn was definitely on the offense.
@@RichterfanReborn89 nope I thought they'd detached it from their forehead and smoke weed in it.
"Gotta keep the customers satisfied"
*fourth walls broke*
It wasn't really a nod towards the movie viewers. Rather the ancient ones.
AoD Wexler who do you think the ancient ones are supposed to portray dude lol
the ancient ones are the viewers.
I'd love to see a prequel movie where they have the cult going around catching all the creatures like pokemon.
Write that script and sell it
💰 💴 💵
Nah the movie is good as it is, sequels ruin the taste
@@andreiavellana8958 they said prequel**
With movies like this, I always wonder what did the higher ups tell the construction crews who built the facilities about what they were doing. Surely you have to have an idea of what you're building before you start. Can you just build from a plan without knowing what it will look like or what it will be used for?. What did those guys think they were doing all that time? Or maybe I just overthink stuff like this.
lols
Pretty fun movie, going into it I thought it was a run of the mill horror flick, but turned out great
@Matarael, Angel of Rain You know the usual, mind battling the entirety of the warp, slowly melting on my throne.
But at least tomorrow the Sisters of Battle are coming over for my bath.
I've bet you already destroyed these ancient ones my Lord
1/3 of the movie : this is cool...
2/3 of the movie : getting scarier, weirder and questions start to popped up...
3/3 of the movie : *WHAT THE FCUK DID I JUST WATCH*
Ravi Asmara same... twords the end I totally lost interest and the idea became very dumb. In the end I wasn’t a fan and felt like I was a little bit of my life I’ll never get back.
Ian Smith But you have to admit, the part with the different creature was pretty cool, it kinda reminds me of the SCP Foundation shit.
You watched an SCP movie that in the fact it's made in 2012 the world ends there.
@@iansmith5634 for me, i only gained interest towards the end.
Pretty much my exact reaction. I found it completely silly and dreadful by the end, plus I found the acting was downright atrocious all the way through.. I honestly don't get the hype (at least, if there is any at all). Oh and by the way, I believe you misspelled the word ''FUCK''.
The idea of the ancient ones is utterly terrifying, and the whole cabin in the woods plot explains every horror movie ever.
KUDOS
Probably the closest we'll ever get to an SCP movie.
Except in this incarnation apparently the Foundation is evil and enslaved to some the SCPs and more their henchmen then their Wardens and overseers
@@robertagu5533It's not much different than stuff the SCP already does. There are several SCP's like 2845 only held at bay by things like ritual sacrifice and martyrdom.
What’s scp
@@melis2645 Its lore that eventually evolved into stories and games being made. Its kind of hard to describe it into one medium, but basically its about a foundation that contains world threatening anomalies around the world. Hope that helps. lol
@@melis2645 Its complicated, but basically it is a public/community story that anyone can add on to. About a group called SCP (secure, contain, protect) that keeps supernatural creatures and beings from being discovered or killing everyone. Kind of like the facility in this movie. Check out "SCP readings" on youtube, TheVolgun is great.
Who would win? An ancient global conspiracy, or one weed man?
Shaggy
Idk where dude gets his weed from but I think it gave him superpowers.
Much of the humor is in how the whole ancient esoteric ritual sacrifice thing was bureaucratized into a ties-only corporate affair.
4:20 love how this scene shows every monsters capabilities of catching their prey. Frightening it is
Alright, I’m going to say it...
SCP Foundation.
What a terrifying thought lol but I like it.
Lots of people agree that these people are the SCP Foundation but they're just under another name to be more secretive.
We must contain these anomalies at all cost, mostly "D" cause
If that’s true I want to live in this world because that means 999 is real
CommieKiller3000!!! They should make a scp tv show
One of my high school friends was in the movie, she played the Sugarplum Fairy. Just a fun fact.
ah fudge now I have the theme song in my head.
although cool fact
Wow that's cool to know the dancer of death.
And my grandmother was Santa Claus wife another fun fact 😀
Okay 😊
Everyone has a friend......stfu.
Scp Foundation be like : We die in the dark so you can live at the light...
Scp-001 When day breaks: Poor choice of words.
At least the SCP foundation uses death-row criminals to be slaughtered as d-class personell... Not Innocents. If I remember right, d-class participation is even voluntary (well, what do you have to lose anyway, when you're on death-row).
I love how there's no happy ending
Prequel doomguy as a god killer
Chris Hemsworth’s character was known as ‘The jock’ I believe, not ‘the scholar’
I noticed that too.
Thank you 😊
He was actually smart in the movie and they had to drug him to make him fall in line
Yes he was, all of them actually were. Even the "Virgin" technically wasn't a Virgin and the "fool" turned out to be so smart that he bacame their downfall. What I was saying "Thank you" to was that Hemsworth's character was referred to as the jock in the movie, and not the scholar like the video said.
I think he did that on purpose
One of my absolute favorite horror movies. It was like a buffet that you just couldn't get enough of the best parts...
Awesome video!!
The cabin in the woods is low key one of my favorite horror movies. It creates an interesting universe, is genuinely funny, and has surprisingly scary moments. One of the few horror comedies I have seen which successfully blends the two genres
Just Titans from the depths of Tartarus.
Call Kratos in case of emergency
Doomguy or dante
@@robotwithnoname7677 reminds me of thotd2
@@robotwithnoname7677 Oswald Cobblepot.
But if the ancients wanted to torment them, when they did the system purge and pretty much every died from the manifestations of the ancients (the monsters). With this logic wouldn’t the ancients have been pretty much exploding with amusement?
@@GenericProtagonist7 They where upset that the fool survived, the virgin was optional
@@canislupus3655 Shit, my bad
@@canislupus3655 Wait, does this follow the movie cliche of the virgin always surviving?
@@straypaper In the rules laid out by the movie, the Virgin has to make it to the end, and either survive or be the last to die
I think they creatures got loose because the facility had fallen into heresy. They were betting on monsters coming forth. Inherent in that is a wish, a summoning. The LAST ONE gets wished on... and the wishes are granted.
Similar to Sampson's story.
Also, I think the New Black Guy is actually a member of the Inquisition.
This movie had the best bait and switch lol
Dalim Mont 💀
I love this film, but who has a purge button in a jail full of monsters 😂😂😂😂😂🤦♂️
Also, as he explains in the video, it was there as a "if all else fails, it's better to unleash this shitshow of monsters and ensure the sacrifice is successful, at the cost of the facility and everyone inside, than letting the old gods rise."
@@adamcarroll9613 yeah but why thou, could they just add a small detonator device or have someone shoot them, in the end of the film they just had to die apparently, but well it wouldn't be a awesome film if that whole scenario wasn't done, really cool sequence of events...
Are you dense? He just explained why, its there because its stupid, my god youre dumb
@@ec329 The sacrifices have to die in a way amusing to the gods, head shots probably don't make the cut.
E C no really lol
I wish they wouldve made a second movie that focuses more on the ancient ones and the company. Like who or what were the beings that provided them with the creatures to kill the people.
The foundation is simply performing its ritual to avoid apocalypse. Deploy MTF-Samsara!
^ this
Deploy all of the D-Class personel
if they don't preform a ritual the old gods will wake and the world is powerless to stop them...huh
The foundation would like to know your location.
Deploy the power rangers!
Sweden: fails
The rest of the world: *W H A T*
Not big suprise
It was japan
Thank you for uploading, no one seemed to cover this and it is finally available, thank you again.
I love this movie. I don't think I've ever seen another film take shots at the audience and the genre of the film itself.
If someone can make film like this.. I also interested if someone make movie about SCP..
i think the first movie should just be a straight up horror movie that ends with the foundation containing the monster and leads into an expanded universe, i totally didn't steal that from marvel
No no no, a TV series would be much better given how many SCP's there are, each episode or even multiple episode story arcs could focus on a single or various SCP's, it'd definitely have to be rated-R tho or very close to it given how brutal most of the monsters and creatures are and hopefully a platform like Netflix would pick it up so it'd have a nice budget for good writers and effects, I think if all those criteria were met then the show would he an absolutely slam dunk especially within it's cult following, like I said a movie would be very risky tho because there are so many damn SCP's that I don't think it would engage people only focusing it's full run time on just one or two of them then having to wait another couple years for the movie franchise to kick off and what not
Season Finale of them trying to recontain 'Shyguy' without glimpsing his face and trying to keep other from doing so
This was basically a SCP movie show casing a breach.
The problem with that is that some of the creators of some SCPs have passed away.
I'm a cinema buff and have a close group of friends who also love cinema, and I get so much shit for praising this movie. It may not be a masterpiece but it is definitely a super fun movie with a unique plot. Loved it
Thank you for uploading this been waiting for it
The really scary thing is we humans need no external influence to commit unspeakable horrors on each other. We naturally do it of our own volition. We always have too. We are our own worst nightmares.
Sacrifices must be made
@@landonorr91703 There is no requirement. We do it simply because we want to and can.
And all life is precious huh well that’s bs
@@DerrBeezy that's entirely subjective though, value and rational are entirely separate. The two will never collide.
Blame nature for our bodies needing things like food and water. Honestly if scientists got together and focused more on creating something were our bodies makes our own food much like plants there would be no wars our even murder.
Please do a video about Judas' Breed from the movie Mimic and or the movie itself.
Finally I'm a bit early.
Btw, great vids as always.
Yesss! Another Mimic fan! 😀
Request: Demons from “The Gate” (1987) explored. 🙏🏼
Boring..
It would be cool to see what they come up with for that.
The gate was a solid movie. Y'all lives are boring. Foh.
The whole Ancient Ones looking like the Titans is actually not too far off, since ancient mythology states that the Greek God Pantheon banished the Titans underground into Tartarus.
The elephant / elephant seal exchange may be my favorite thing in a movie. I’ve Cabin multiple times and I laugh out loud every time.
One of my favorite movies of all time glad it's still getting recognized
The closest we'll ever get to a Hollywood adaptation of the SCP Mythos.
This is something I've been actually pretty interested so I'm glad you did this finally
I’ve been subscribed for years and have been patiently waiting for this video.
I like the fan theory that Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly/Serenity and The Cabin In the Woods all take place within the same universe and that their events match up with one another. Like the Ancient Ones are just Old Ones, the first demons to walk the earth like Illyria and that after Angel pissed off the Sr. Partners these demons were released onto the world. However, since the end of Angel, the Initiative from Buffy Season 4 have been sacrificing people to these demons to keep them from waking entirely, thus we get Cabin In The Woods. However, when that all fails and the Ancient Ones are released, humanity is forced to flee the planet for a new star system. This leading into Firefly. Also, the Alliance is actually secretly controlled by Wolframe & Hart, as well as River Tam actually being a potential Slayer whom they are trying to brainwash. River Tam does sport many Slayer-like abilities, such as her strength, fighting ability and psychic powers(Slayers have prophetic dreams and can communicate through dreams, not the same as mind reading but still). And during her battle with the Reavers, whom are assumed to be demonic in nature due to the influence of the Wolframe & Hart controlled Alliance, River Tam is "called". Her powers are fully awakened and she becomes the first Slayer to be called in over 500 years since the fall of Earth... just an interesting theory.
do u worship satan?
Love your theory, ad some Doom Slayer and Evil Dead action in there somewhere n I'll be all into it.

I enjoyed this way more than i should keep up the good work lol
Very astute observation about the meta commentary.
Honestly this is why you are the *Only* movie YT guy i watch.
I didn't even realise how much I WANTED this video to exist! TY
Do a video about all the monsters. Awesome channel congrats on 500k plus subs
Im still binge watching your old vids......
I've made it my goal to watch all his videos
Love this channel so informative and a pleasure to watch 🙂
Great video love your videos
the things from the movie BLOOD C, are even named THE ANCIENT ONES, and they are huge monsters, like the ones from this movie. the series goes first and expands the lore of Saya. it's one of my favorite series.
Heck yeah Blood C and Blood the last Vampire are personal favs of mine. I know people who say saya is pretty dumb in just watching her friends be slaughtered but its still a guilty pleasure of mine.
The last episode of that anime was FUCKED UP!
If you look closely you can see a boomer in the cube scene
Terrifying
I think your insight and commentary in this film is on point..keep it go!👏
I’m not even joking a day ago I searched up if you’ve made this video and you hadn’t ? And you just now uploaded it I’m so glad you covered this thanks man 👍👍
1:23 when ur supposed to be an l4d zombie boomer but u ended up respawning in a whole new different universe
Omg didn’t even know Chris hemsworth when this came out crazy looking back now!
Awesome as always you don't disappoint
Thank you for that informative video editorial. I now know the origins of the ancient ones. I will be sure to pass that on to my children.
The ancient ones are clearly the engineers.
Request: some watchmen stuff and Scp. Thank you, your content is amazing as always
Fantastic work as always
Thanks for your videos. I really enjoy them
This is my favorite movie. thank you for getting to this. Its the closest we're gonna get to an SCP movie
I think TARS and the robots from Interstellar would be a good explored video next.
Congrats on 500,000 bud! I think I already requested this before would you kindly do a video covering the Sirens featured in the Borderlands series or even the Big Sister from BioShock 2?
Loved this movie, went into without any idea what it was going to be about and was so pleasantly surprised. Loved the commentary as well, a great movie
Lost art to watch a mystery horror film without too much knowledge beforehand
The only thing I am surprised about is seeing Chris Hemsworth here.
I always wanted them to explain where they got the monsters from
@Dalim Mont ok bro
Well, this movie explains the entire thing about the horror movie monster,. Just listen to the kill count
Thank you for covering this movie. It was one of my favs for entertainment featuring a play on the predictable and deserving death of the typical teenagers in that genre of movies. Keep up the great work.
Great episode as always! Cheers.
"Explored" - literally just a film synopsis
4:38
I assume those two twins are a Shining reference,
Such a good movie with many horror film character references. Thanks for the explanation of the Ancient Ones. Titans came to my mind when they were revealed at the end. 👍
Thanks Man!! Super as ever
Can you explain
"As the gods will"
I am kinda confused about the movie.
And literally nobody explained it on the TH-cam
No worries bud! Adding it to the list now, thanks :)
@@filmcomicsexplained
Thanks man
Oh shit is that the manga? Cause I liked that manga
FilmComicsExplained could you do a video on Apollo 18 plzz
The youtubes will help you out.
Congrats on 500k man well deserved!
Thanks mate :)
You misspelled Joss. :D Awesome video as always and congratz on the 500k milestone! Your videos are like my daily cereal.
I literally just watched this again yesterday. Great timing guys 🤔💀☠👻
dang this channel has really grown since I’ve first started watching it!
I’ve really enjoyed watching your channel grow and the videos you have posted 😆
could you do a video of the vampires in the show called van helsing
Great stuff Niyat, thank you 👍
This flick keeps on giving!
One of my faves.
I got a movie for you to explain The Langoliers by Stephen King
That's my jam
The stoner lived and thats all I wanted.
Amazing movie and nice breakdown, love the videos!
Great video I loved this movie! You should do a video on the Cravers from Endless space 1/2
Could you please cover The Purge universe? Both the movies and the TV show?
I didn't think they'd been "dormant for most of their existence" they were ancient before earth even existed
Always good to see good content.
Probably one of my favorite “scary” movies of all time. Just the theory alone makes it awesome. The God of all Camp Movies.
"The ancient ones"
AKA, *Godzilla*
Also, the Inhumanoids. A short-lived hollow earth cartoon about giant, ancient monsters held captive inside the earth. I love that show.
always thought the facility and organisation reminded me of the S.C.P foundation
What's scp bro?
Unlike the facility,SCP use the criminal to experiment not the innocent bystanders People,Like those facility,They work was strictly and Very Harsh,While facility is A bunched joke,betting on who kill and use teenager as the scarifies,SCP can use the scarifies but if they are criminal volunteers,so there is a big difference between them
I'm so glad to see how popular you've gotten. ^__^ Good work.
One of the few movies I can watch more than once and not get bored. classic
Love this movie, it should have a part 2 to it!
What monster is that 3:49
Some sort of a giant gorilla with a horn, idk
Manbearpig

Great video bruh!
