    Anyone pick up the visual companion? I went to today but the local Barnes and Noble had to order it for me. I heard it has tons of pictures of the monsters and all the stuff in the basement. Also, I read what KEVIN was since it wasn't explained in the movie (written on the whiteboard).

    Spoiler:
    I just assumed that "Kevin" was their version of "Jason", some kind of masked blade-wielding killer.

    I always thought this quote was funny when the director was asked about a sequel and here is another shot of the whiteboard

    Spoiler:
    Immediately after an early preview screening with fan Q&A, the first question Director Drew Goddard was asked was, "Will there be a sequel?" To which he responded, "Have you seen the ending to my movie?"



    Also here is another shot of the whiteboard. Between this one and the other I posted you should be able to see them all that I had listed.


    That question must have been asked in every preview screening Q&A. Someone asked it at the one I attended.

    They could always come up with some way to make another one I'm sure, I'd love to see more of the monsters.

    I thought that if they could get the same actors (probably not) they could film a bunch where the 'selection' was different in the cellar which led to different scenarios. A what if kind of thing.

    The wife and I saw this last night and I have to say it was a really fun movie. I went into it knowing nothing other than what you see in the trailers so I was pleasantly surprised with where this movie went.

    Im not too sure about interesting read lol That was an extremely long winded interview that really didnt add any insight into the movie. It was a typical Quint interview kissing the butt of the person he's interviewing. The pics attached (pulled from the Visual Companion book) were sweet though

    Just show us another country off in the middle of know where running their scenario and complaining about how they never get it "right", but then save the day.

    I was somewhat disappointed by this one. I went in wanting to like it... just didn't click with me.

    I think Chris Hemsworth is worth his weight in gold as a charismatic actor. The other's were solid as well.

    I can't put my finger on what I didn't care for. Maybe it was the "twist" just being a little too in front of our noses? I LOL'd during that certain scene everyone seems to be mentioning... I thought it was great and the design's were spot on.

    I don't think this one was aiming for subtlety. There were so many people laughing in the theatre at the scene with all the talk before the motorcycle stunt just knowing what to expect. The movie didn't really have a 'twist' it was pretty clear from the beginning what was going on. The only reason was the justification of why things were going on. We as the audience were essentially the reason why the people in the downstairs were doing the things they were doing.

    Saw it tonight, and it was damned good. Went in pretty much blind (I had read the first 6 or 8 pages of the official novel), and was pleasantly surprised at the movie. Great humor, great carnage, great story.

    Still laughed the hardest at

    I loved this movie sooooo much, I'm definitely going to see it again this weekend, back to back with The Avengers. A Whedon double feature!

    Ok. Feeling kinda dumb but need to share this MEGA GIGANTIC SPOILER for the movie.

    I was heading to bed, just crawled into the covers and was thinking my random thoughts before going to sleep, and it hit me...

    This movie...
    Spoiler:
    it's a mini rant on the craptastic horror movie tropes that are in virtually every single movie, and I get that. What stunned me awake was realizing the ANCIENT ONES that would destroy everything... they are the movie audience. They are us. The reason these movies come out year after year day after day is mainly because we (the audience) know what to expect, and apparently new ideas are smacked down something fierce.


    Mind blown.

    I mean, I understood the movie, I loved the movie, I enjoyed the movie, I just never really thought the meanings went THAT deep.

    Am I the only one?

    You pretty much nailed it. That is the underlining theme and Whedon has said that as well in interviews.

    Ah, cool. I went into the movie pretty much blind (only saw one trailer), and didn't read any of the interviews.

    It's a hell of a movie, I'll give em that.

    The Cabin in the Woods finally got released here. Such a fantastic film with a unique take on the horror genre.

    I was familiar with the plot of the movie, as I once remember watching the trailer (then regretting it) months ago, but it still delivered the goods on the surprise factor on multiple occasions.

    Why Lionsgate didn't promote it properly is still a mystery to me.

    Who knows. I'd also like to know why the heck this film sat on a shelf for nearly 3 years after being completed.

    I'm glad to hear you were able to see it with out everything being given away for you. Avoiding all the massive spoilers must have been tough!

    Yeah I avoided all forum threads and other online articles/discussion pertaining to the movie until now.

    The delay was more to do with MGM's bankruptcy in 2010. Lionsgate lost out on a great opportunity here. Just like Warner Bros missed out on the marketing and proper release of Trick 'r Treat.

    I honestly didn't care for it. I found it illogical.

    Spoiler:
    If those technicians and controllers had done it so often... they were handling things in very amateurish ways... and if this was set-up to please the ancients... then surely, they would've made a heck of a lot more certain of not being able to fail in any way and being more in control of what happened with the splatter fodder - especially knowing what was at stake.

    Blowing the tunnel made no sense, seeing as they had done it so many times before. They would just have to open it up again for the next people to wander into their ritual killing scenario. And why was it that they didn't get the order to blow up the tunnel and that it'd come from the highest place that they shouldn't? Makes no sense if the purpose was to make sure they couldn't leave... then why was it left open and why was the technician reprimanded when he blew it up?

    The high tech barrier made no sense at all. Again... if they'd done this so many times before, they should just have made "invisible" fail safe procedures to prevent anybody from leaving... and seeing as it's clearly not important for the people to be killed by the monsters of their choice, simply post snipers to take them out if they attempt crossing the gorge... or just make that gorge impossible to cross in any way, shape or form.

    The chaos that ensued because a pot smoking junkie got access to some elevator controls is just rather... well... pathetic.

    All in all reminded me of those small horror comic stories with the "surprising" twist that on second thought didn't make sense at all and the whole premise falls apart if you think about it even for a second.

    It was mentioned in the movie that they'd done it before, so instead of a sequel, they could do ****-loads of prequels.
