While I liked A Cabin in the Woods and thought it was a clever examination of horror movie conventions I didn't think it worked as an actual horror movie. The bits with the zombies were pretty silly.
Resolution on the other hand did both, it worked as a play on conventions but also worked as a straight up horror movie. I really loved this movie.
Couldn't possibly agree more. They're very similar in theme in a lot of ways but Cabin in the Woods really baffles me. Why would you make a movie about horror movies and lampoon horror movie conventions and not even attempt to make it a horror movie.
Resolution succeeds in every way cabin in the woods fails.
I think comparing this to cabin in the woods is like comparing apples to oranges. The sacrifice to the old gods are nothing like the stories the monster in resolution wants. The viewer doesn't even want Micheal and Chris to die. They clearly want them to live in the end.
shareLooks like the people in the movie weren't the only ones doing drugs.
shareA Cabin In The Woods was what we call a spoof movie. it was a cleverly disguised spoof movie granted, and it wasnt a bad one, but it was a spoof movie. This one was a seriuos horror movie. of course this will work better as a horror movie, thats because ACITW isnt one.

Applied Science? All science is applied. Eventually.
I liked them about the same but for different reasons. They do both have cabin's ... kind of.
shareWtf this movie is a horror movie? If I'm not mistaken a horror movie is intended to scare which this movie did not do at all. So much build up and no climax. Then again everyone is entitled to opinions even if they are absolutely wrong
shareWhile I liked A Cabin in the Woods and thought it was a clever examination of horror movie conventions I didn't think it worked as an actual horror movie.Cabin in the Woods is a horror comedy, knucklehead. This movie was a short film, padded with lame banter and a silly Indian reservation subplot to make it feature-length. share
Ug.
Are you really attempting to compare A Cabin in the Woods with this movie?
You know, just because movies have one thing in common, does not make them appropriate to compare.
No. The acting, script, editing, and directing don't even compare.
shareAre you serious? This film was the biggest pile of sh!te I've ever seen!! & in comparison to The Cabin In The Woods!? Pfft! You must be *beep* with me right!? The film actually for one got going & lead somewhere & had action it it! While this film made trying to get a bonfire going in a whirlwind blizzard seem more fun! In fact, it was exactly how I felt the film was just when you thought it was getting somewhere it dissolved. Then getting somewhere, then dissolved! It was a continuous pattern throughout! It was stupidly long considering it's content (which was a yawn fest) & had 0 horror in it! It was boring, slow & completely uninteresting! The reviews on here are fake! VERY fake! Don't get me started with RT. The only real ones are the low rated, which describe this pile of trash down to a T. The Cabin In The Woods was WAY better than this!
