I don't like this movie one bit, and I'm willing to draw that fence a lot closer on its possible readings given its tiresome exposition, but I agree with your comment. This was like a slap fight in words.

In all those examples where there's "no" pop psychology in the movies mentioned, it's there, it's just part of the script or idea behind the story rather than a topic of discussion.

And that lurid Cesare-Lombroso-school description of Dracula's features as the combination of every feature that would allow a 19th-century criminologist to spot him as a monster on sight.

Comedy-horror is too easy to attempt in my opinion. It's where bad directors go to die.

Sorry, but I'll have to downvote this. I'm really very sorry.

I didn't like Scary Movie at first, but got around to it. I don't think I'll ever like Cabin in the Woods.

You don't sound very sorry,

A touching episode of Home Improvement indeed, where Tim Allen deployed the joke "goiter belt"

The ending was the most energetic lazy ending I've ever seen.

Your stories this week have convinced me that I still like scary movies, but most of them aren't horror movies anymore. Cabin in the Woods fits none of these descriptions.

I found it pedestrian, childish and devoid of substance. It reminded me of the kids I knew who talked through and over horror movies because they'd get too freaked out otherwise, ruining it for everyone who wanted to get scared. And by the end, it felt like I was watching a tepid "Family Guy" episode. Yeah, ha ha, Scre

I enjoyed it more than The Descent, which I still sort of enjoyed. The Descent didn't seem to have much of an idea of what its monsters had to do with its plot, and from its poster art and its earlier minutes, I thought it was a lot more put-together of a movie than it turned out to be once the bad theme park costumes

There's nothing I dislike more than a purported horror movie that ends up being a sad tale of someone's mental instability.

I'm willing to accept that based on its title alone, since I was sick of it before I finished reading it.

You should have written your list in BASIC

I laughed. I'd read the short story, and the last line of the story is also howlingly bad, if not as funny as the movie's ending. The real side-splitter to me is the whole back half of the Mrs. Carmody plot. How exactly would Christians, coalescing around a Christian layperson, suddenly acquire a group faith in Aztec

I like the movie but that everyone's-heard-it sound effect curdled the whole thing at some key moments for me. It's like having the scary caller do the Howie scream as his trademark.

I like it as well, but at worst, it's good for a watch and historically important, which puts it in my top 25 since 2000, easy.

Why is it a problem even if she's never picked up a comic book in her life? I still don't get it. The character has shown up in other media. She's been the focus of multiple TV shows already for that matter. You don't have to read comics to like Supergirl or think up Supergirl stories.
