They should do a sequel where now that the world is fucked up, they make fun of post-apocalyptic cliches instead of horror cliches. Like with that organization gone, a new group becomes tasked with creating the new scenarios and has to be more creative with how to make them pan out.

>>79096949
what are you? fucking stupid?
stop it with your autism

>>79096949
Some worlds aren't worth saving. That's a more interesting take on things than anything else in the movie, honestly. The underlying logic of so many horror stories is so terrible that the setting is just not worth fighting to defend or to try to live in.

>>79097068
What's stupid about being frustrated about a character deciding that just because he was about to be sacrificed that the entire human race isn't worth saving?

>>79096949
because it makes for an awesome ending

>>79097133
>The underlying logic of so many horror stories is so terrible that the setting is just not worth fighting to defend or to try to live in.
Why not though?
5-10 kids a year isn't all that big a price to pay

>>79097133
Well that did indeed suck, but remember that except for those 5 kids, it was the exact same as ours. Does five extra teenagers dying per year really make that much of a difference to the world?

>>79096949
Because Humans are selfish

>>79096949
If you're going to be pissed off with anyone, be pissed off with the guys in charge of it. It's only because they were so lazy and complacent things got so fucked in the first place.

>>79097235
Yeah, but that was intentional wasn't it? Showing how formulaic and boring the horror movie industry had become?

>>79097165
>5-10
Every country has a program. 5-10 American college kids, school of 9-year-olds in Japan, just that year everyone failed.

>>79096949
Think of all the arabs and blacks you'll kill though.

the movie was a meta analysis of the horror movie genre. the "old gods" destroying the world is analogous to you brainlets being upset that the movie didn't end how you wanted it to end
don't try to analyze the film from within its own framework

>>79097169
Considering the premise is, basically, torturing blameless innocents so that the torture of blameless innocents can continue...

>>79097434
>the "old gods" destroying the world is analogous to you brainlets being upset that the movie didn't end how you wanted it to end

There it is. The stupidest thing I'll read all day. I don't know if this bodes well or ill for the rest of the day.

>>79096949
Nah.

420 blaze it nigga

>>79097480
>The stupidest thing I'll read all day.
the day is young my friend

>>79097480
That's a pretty standard reading of the film.

Your first CitW thread?

>>79097434
But for a film that seems to be celebrating horror films as much as it's criticizing them, for them to turn around in the end and say horror movies aren't worth saving seems a bit strange to me.

>>79096949
the point is that the horror genre isnt worth saving. Its too far gone

>>79096949
Any world that survives on the sacrifice of innocents is not a worth world

>>79096949
Then the movie would've been the cliched shit it was parodying.

Honestly though it was refreshing to see characters just say fuck everything in the face of a system rigged against them.

>>79096949
>How could anybody possibly fuck up such an easy decision so hard?
I would happily choose to die 5 minutes later knowing that everyone is fucked hard. Now tip your fedora.

>>79097577
Its a maymay read.

>>79098302
>middle school tier moral nihilism
disgusting
does it not occur to you that letting "someone else give it a try," to paraphrase the ending dialogue, would mean letting them live on the graves of our innocents?
or do you assert that people of this world are not innocent, for killing others to survive? in that case, why is it wrong to sacrifice 5 people a year so that the rest can live?

>>79096949

Like, society is just so messed up man!

Lionsgate desperately want to make another movie set in universe. Could be a sequel, prequel, whatever but Goddard and Wheton are really reluctant to do it.

>>79097397
But only one ritual had to succeed. Each culture has it's own giant evil god. As long as one god is appeased all of them will stay a slumber.

>>79098225
It wasn't shitting on horror movies, it was paying tribute to them. Goddard and Whedon love horror movies. The movie is supposed to be enjoyed as a fun movie and any subtext is knee deep at best, yet you're having trouble understanding the message because you're a complete utter fucking retard.

They weren't saying horror movies aren't worth saving. The gods were supposed to represent modern audiences who want nothing but the exact thing over and over again. If a movie dares to stray from the formula modern audiences through a temper tantrum and reject the movie, like the gods rejected the world for not ending the ritual the way they wanted it to. How the fuck you managed to interpret Marty refusing to kill himself as "for them to turn around in the end and say horror movies aren't worth saving" I'll never know.

>>79096949
OP if you cant handle a challenging character choice you wont like Gone Baby Gone, and youre also a child

>>79096949
>implying you have any reason to believe they're right
>implying the gods cannot be defied
>implying you have an obligation to just lie down and die like a dog for other people

lolno

>>79099298
but they did die. they didn't even get to finish the blunt

>>79096949
There wasn't any guarantee that dying would've changed anything. The ritual was already fucked from the minute they thought shaggy was dead.

>>79099581
>The ritual was already fucked from the minute they thought shaggy was dead.
Not really. The only requirement is that the virgin is the last one alive. If Shaggy was killed the ritual would've been completed. Doesn't matter what order they die in, as long as the virgin is alive at the end.

Scream didn't do anything. You're par rotting nonsense spouted by pretentious Scream fans without having any understanding of cinema yourself. In Scream the characters mention other horror movies and clichés. That's literally it. It's a generic slasher in which characters talk about horror movies. It does nothing, it does nothing with the genre and has nothing to say about it.

Cabin in the Woods actually deconstructs the genre. The sub-text is knee deep at best, but it has SOMETHING. Scream has nothing.

>>79100253
>deconstructs
no. why do people misuse this word so horribly? meta != deconstruction. CitW is very meta but self-aware, but that's not the same thing.

>>79100128
Scream has some meta elements but doesn't "lampoon" anything.

>>79099240
Gone Baby Gone is shit

>>79100316
>no. why do people misuse this word so horribly? meta != deconstruction. CitW is very meta but self-aware, but that's not the same thing.
The organisation is literally constructing a horror movie by intentionally piece together horror movie conventions and trying to manipulate characters into committing to the clichés.

>>79100316
That's exactly my point, if you take out the parody elements out of CitW you're left with nothing, Scream at least remains a decent slasher flick

>>79100362
If you take out the parody elements you're left with nothing? You mean aside from an immensely entertaining movie? No one gives a fuck about the subtext. Throughout you're thoroughly engaged in trying to figure out what the government organisation is trying to accomplish. The actors that play the two office dudes are incredible and the kids in the cabin are likable, an extreme rarity for modern horror movies. The carnage at the end when all of the monsters are released is a horror fan's dream.

I like Scream 1 - 3, yes, even the third one, 4 was absolute garbage though.

>>79097443
This happens to tens of thousands of people around the world already. Every year. People are continuously born into impossible situations where they will suffer then die in lots of places. That doesn't make you want to end the world, so why does this!

>>79100480
just like in the movie, that can be stopped by killing all turd worlders who use food aid to reproduce, instead of build a society

>>79098302
>Any world that survives on the sacrifice of innocents is not a worth world

So you're going to kill yourself and as many of your family and friends as you can take with you now, right?

Of course you aren't because you're a tard.

>>79100669
But that won't ever happen and you know that.

>>79100128
But Scream is a straight-up slasher that was just slightly self-aware. CitW is post-horror, or it was necessary for the creation of post-horror.
