Ridiculous and stupid


And I bet the filmmakers thought they were being really smart and clever

They deconstructed the various horror/slasher tropes while having the gods be surrogates for the viewing audience. Sounds pretty clever.

Can't stop the signal.

If by "decontstructed" you mean took every stupid horror cliche from the beginning of time and stapled them together in a hackneyed, predictable way toward an absolutely ludicrous finale, then yes I agree . .

There's a reason this mess sat on a shelf for three years . . it's an abominable film, but God Forbid anyone should criticize the great Joss Whedon . .

Not at all. It took conventional horror tropes and gave a reason for existing while at the same time placing the audience in the seat of the gods needing to be satiated with the "rituals" of horror movies.

Yeah, the studio that produced it was having financial problems.

They can criticize all they want. Just don't be under the delusion that their opinions are somehow shielded from being ridiculed.

Can't stop the signal.

Complain all you want about Joss, but your post still reeks of sour grapes.

In the kingdom of the blind, you're the village idiot.

exactly. I'm surprised the green inferno just got released to big, main theaters after it sat on a shelf for 2 years.

If I had to choose between ridiculous and stupid or good I would go with ridiculous and stupid!

Implying IMDB ratings have any bearing on the quality of the film.

Shh. This is a place for adults. You shouldn't be watching R rated movies.

I thought it was going to be a good film. I liked how they were being watched with their environment controlled. It started out real good.

Let's say that the film was rather enjoyable & likable up until the scene where they go down the elevator. After that, the film's quality comes crashing down (no pun intended) when all these monsters, ghouls, creatures and whatnot become "loose" and start to eat up the crew. It then even gets much worse when it turns in to God Of War with the talks of rituals, underworld and the apocalypse. Heck, the film would've been much more excusable if this were all a dream sequence of some character in the cabin.

So basically, this film was a 7 for the most. But thanks to the last half hour its rating went down to 4.

Why did you have a problem with the last part? Did you understand what the movie was about?

reply

Ah...The good old "you just didn't get it" ploy...

*yawn*

reply

And yet you didn't answer the question. You didn't try to dispute my points.

Yawn all you want but one day you'll swallow a fly.

reply

Yeah pretty sure they didn't get it. Its not for everyone.

Oh, please. That's just typical - someone didn't like it, so obviously they're too dumb to get it?

Well, I'm sorry, but I did NOT like that movie at all. And yes, I got it, thank you. Yes, it's supposed to be a clever satire, all about horror tropes and clichés, homage to horror movies, with the "gods" supposed to represent the audience, etc. etc. etc. No need to be a genius to understand that.

But why on earth should that mean it's a good film? You know, I wanted to like it. I'm an avid horror fan, and I thought I'd enjoy CITW because I'd read about how original it is, but it was just terrible. No suspense, not scary, not funny, not entertaining. The story seemed like it was written by a 5-year-old, mixed with over-the-top CGI. It was complete nonsense, and not in a good way... I kept shaking my head as I watched it.

I love weird, unconventional movies. I love horror. I love meta-movies.
Yet I hated this.

I'd love for someone to explain exactly why they thought it was good... Instead of just insulting those who didn't like it.

Hear, hear!

Actually, they didn't tell you, "you just didn't get it." They asked you two questions. You answered neither.

Let's be bad guys.
