Satire? No, just a generic bad movie.

Rating: 4/10 (14 June 2013)

This movie reminds me of the old saying: If it looks, sounds, and feels like a bad movie, it most likely is a bad movie, even when the director claims it was satire. The Cabin in the Woods is neither scary nor funny. It is even annoying at times when the plot switches to a technical control center stuffed with heartless morons whose obnoxious behavior just doesn't make sense even if you label it satire. I don't believe this movie was even made with a satire in mind but that it was just labeled so when it became apparent that it doesn't work. If you're watching this on DVD and you consider switching it off - you probably will want to do so - I'd rather recommend to skip to the last quarter of the movie, which is actually quite fun to watch and gets this mess 4 stars.
