    From what I've seen, there's only two reasons to go and see The Three Stooges, and they're both owned by Kate Upton!

    Thats kind of the point, go see it and you'll understand why
    I went to see it last night and I thought it was great, very clever take on any of the "teen horror" films you've ever seen before & they pulled it off really well. I dont want to spoil it but all I can say is go see it. Theres buckets of gore and zombies for good measure too

    I saw it Sunday. Pretty good. Not QUITE as clever as I'd hoped but good. Interesting that that the "twist" is really revealed right up front, it's the WHYS of it all that keep you guessing & waiting for the reveal, although if you're paying attention, it's pretty easily figured out. It did have some clever examination of the "teen slasher" horror formula & used it in a new & interesting way.

    Saw it tonight. Absolutely f*cking loved it! Haven't had that much fun with a movie in a very long time. Going into it with as little knowledge as possible was a great move.

    I feel like the majority of horror buffs will love it. However, people that are kind of into horror or indifferent about the genre, generally won't enjoy it as much or "get" it.

    Gotta go in expecting a [super] fun movie experience - not something that will be serious and scare the pants off of you.

    I enjoyed it. Sort of felt like a more adult supercharged buffy episode

    I would recommend the Visual Guide to the film, complete story ideas and backstories to many of the things seen in the film

    Wow, overall more favorable responses on this than I would have guessed. I'm looking forward to catching it eventually, now.

    I don't know. I'm skeptical about seeing this.

    It's funny how people cry and scream for no more remakes and more original shit, but then something original comes along and everyone says "I'm not seeing that."

    I'm telling all of you skeptics - the movie is marketed as a teen Hostel/Cabin Fever movie. However, marketing teams get paid to skew trailers in order to attract specific audiences.

    I'll leave you at that.

    To quote the fella to the left "IS THIS THE SHIT THAT'S SUPPOSED TO KNOCK OUR SOCKS OFF?"

    What a pile of overrated crap. Not half as smart as it thinks it is and it's just Whedon taking something that's been done already ('Scream') and dicking about. I can't stand this git, I really can't. But what's worse is how everything he does is feted as some sort of greatness.

    This cabin is a woodworm infested shack that the estate agent has hyped as a nice "fixer-uper".

    VERY disappointed. But then, it's Whedon...so I should have known better. I suppose I only have myself to blame.

    It's the last chance he's getting out of me.

    Simply cannot believe the good words being written about this from various quarters.
    I'm runnin' this monkey farm now Frankenstein.....
