Member Rating:  
Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard team up for this bloody horror satire that offers an inventive twist on the familiar stranded-in-the-woods sub-genre. As five friends pile into an RV bound for a secluded cabin far from civilization, the operators of a mysterious, high-tech control room monitor their every move while preparing an arcane ritual that dates back to the beginning of time. Shortly after arriving at the rickety cottage, Dana (Kristen Connolly) and her friends Curt (Chris Hemsworth), Jules (Anna Hutchison), Marty (Fran Kranz), and Holden (Jesse Willaims) venture into the basement and discover a little girl's diary from the early 1900s -- which recounts a series of horrifying events that unfolded precisely where the vacationing teens how stand. Before long, the nightmare comes knocking at the door -- murder gleaming from its putrid eyes and a rusty saw clenched in rotting hands. In the control room, everything is going exactly according to plan; Sitterson (Richard Jenkins) and Hadley (Bradley Whitford) are taking bets, and their supervisor Lin (Amy Acker) is monitoring every detail. But just when it looks like the show is over, an unexpected glitch threatens to topple the entire system. ~ Rovi

Scary and hilarious all at the same time. You never knew weather to laugh or scream. The most original movie I have seen since the original Matrix. It definately has Joss Whedon's fingerprints all over it. I can't say too much about it, without ruining it, but I will be buying this when it comes out. Highly recomended.

I'm a horror movie buff so I normally love these types of movies...this one wasn't what I expected. Not very scary, just a lot of gore. The plot of the movie was so so and the ending was terrible. Don't waste your money going to the theater. If you must see it, wait till it comes out on rental. I'd give this a C-

I really dont know what to think of this movie. It had a bit of everything from comedy, horror, gore, suspense, and new ideas. I am dissappointed that it had to end after 95 mins. Great movie.

If you consider yourself a nerd and/or horror movie buff...then this is your movie. I cannot give away too much but my friends and I counted about 40 horror movie references, and they were done well, unlike the last few of the "Scary Movie" series. The movei really has not received the attention it deserved in theaters.

Innovative sci-fi/horror movie that had amazing special effects made by someone that has a really unique way of looking at things. Be prepared for the craziest of rides!

I liked this movie, but I knew it would be quirky because of Joss. The end was a little bit of a let down but I think they just ran out of time.

    This was a nice break from the traditional scary movie. I thought it was inventive and interesting although there were some parts of the storyline that I found questionable.
