To anyone saying "but that was the point!" I say so? "Look at all these cliches wrapped up in a handful of clever homages!" does not a good movie make. Knowing that something is bad as you do it, doesn't suddenly make it good.

But to the OP I say Whedon didn't write this, and I don't remember a ton of sex.

clearly you're just not hipster enough to appreciate the satiric wonder of Cabin in the Woods.

[(Anonymous)]

They only kept to the cliches in the first part of the movie and then deviated from it quickly, breaking the fourth wall. The characters were constantly commenting on how ridiculous and out of the ordinary their behaviour was and thus making it quite apparent that this wasn't the actual movie, but a more sinister plot moving behind the scenes. So I don't get how people can say "well it is stil the same cliches!" when they weren't.

*coughcough* A more sinister plot behind the scenes where a corporation is pulling the strings and there's elder gods are also cliches.

[(Anonymous)]

But how often are the elder gods implied to be you, the audience?

[(Anonymous)]

That was not an implication I received from Cabin in the Woods.

'constantly' is kinda overstating it.

you still see the characters acting out the cliches. knowing that they don't do so willingly or consciously or because it's really the way they are doesn't make their actual actions any less of a cliche. it is still the same cliches, only with a bit of doubt here and there, and as caused by an outside source. so if you're a bit sensitive to seeing them again and again, you're gonna see them in the movie and it's not gonna be the holy grail to you.

Yep, this. I don't watch that many horror movies but none of the cliches were new to me. It was boring seeing them played out AGAIN even when the movie kept insisting that no no, these cliches have something UNDERNEATH them so they're fresh and new!

Er, no they aren't. They're the same cliches with a side course of silly explanations.

[(Anonymous)]

The movie certainly wasn't insisting they were new... that was the point. Breaking the fourth wall doesn't mean they think it is new, it just means they're meta commenting the genre.

THANK YOU. The fact that the movie was poking fun of the cliches struck me as a "have your cake and eat it too" kind of situation. Like getting drunk on PBR and thinking that you're doing it ironically... but you're still drinking PBR.

SFX, though I misread it first too.

I went back to reread the secret and LOLed.

This. It was too much meta and not enough movie. I liked the idea of riffing on horror cliches, but found the execution to be tedious and bland. If the tone were unabashedly goofy cheesy instead of that strange flat realm of Not Sure If Trying To Be Serious In Some Regard, I might have liked it.
