Definitely looks promising. This will be one that I'll actually go and see in the theater.

Right.

Speculative Spoilers below for those who are choosing to abstain from watching the trailer:

Spoiler:

It looks like this is a "killing program" and the kids are test subjects. I felt like the trailer gave A LOT away. Anyway, super excited about this--love the Evil Dead feel of the cabin. At least the scientists are using the classics in their research!

Cool, trailer definitely got me interested, looks pretty wild

hadn't been paying any attention to this, but the trailer has definitely got my attention! hope it lives up to its interesting premise.

For some reason, all I can think of is TCM: The Next Generation with some production value...

Luki · 12-06-2011, 03:35 PM

All the speculations so far have been wrong. The script has some potential but as the movie goes on it gets more and more into the WTF territory... it's pretty much given lots of people would be put off by the movie's plot... no suprise it's been in limbo for so long. Let's just say it takes all the subgenre clichés and tropes and gives them a bigger purpose to be there in the first place.

Not a fan of the whole government conspiracy / underground lab nonsense. Just give me a damn "cabin in the woods" flick!

Look forward to "The Corridor" then, great film that IFC Midnight picked up recently.

CPT HOOK · 12-07-2011, 12:23 AM

^ I will keep an eye out for it.

JGrendel · 12-07-2011, 04:08 PM

This looks very promising, with this & Avengers coming out. I'm hoping Joss doesn't let me down.

After a 4 or 5 year wait I was expecting the worst, But the trailer makes it look promising.

tropical marsh · 12-08-2011, 02:47 AM

The trailer is...not so good.

spawningblue · 12-10-2011, 02:20 AM

It looks really good, nice to see something original for once. On the other hand I'm slightly disappointed it is nothing like the Evil Dead which is the vibe I got from the original poster. I guess we have the Evil Dead remake to look forward to... or not to look forward to for that matter.

Looks like that to me too! I like the trailer a lot and it looks like something very original. I was wondering how Joss would take a cliche idea about kids in a cabin in the woods, but leave it to him to make an original slant on the subject. Can't wait to see this!!

I think we should split up

Can't wait for the DVD. No really, my local cinema stopped playing horror films in earnest about ten years ago. Do 'tweens and teens no longer watch horror films? That's the only reason I can think of - pure dollars.
