I think that was intended to be a knowing wink to the cenobites, but nothing more. Lots of monsters and horror films were visually referenced in Cabin's finale.

But that's all it was; Joss Whedon and Dru Goddard alluding to previous horror films while simultaneously skewering horror film tropes in general.

It was Whedon and Goddard alluding to previous horror films WHILE putting an original twist on theirs. In a very similar way Craven did with Scream. Great young acting/casting, good effects, and comedy from Jenkins and Whitford are just a few of the things that separate this movie from the rest.

Gimme anything by Whedon containing a Merman with blood spraying by the breathing hole in his neck and a Unicorn and I'm sold. Not to mention cute girls and cool story. That's why it's in my top 2012 movies list.

Exactly. There is a very weird hatred for this movie and it seems especially overseas it is not as loved as it is in America. Give me hundreds of monsters combined with an Evil Dead plot, and two of the funniest legends of Hollywood in the control room. There are so many damn reasons this movie is cool. Marty freaking has a baseball bat Bong. Some people need to loosen up about this one. It is one of the more fun Horror movies in a long long while.

As you said, there is a freaking merman that eats you and blood spits out its back. It had been years and years since we got some monsters done well in the "good effects" sense. I'm talking real monster effects and not a ton of CGI. We don't get this kind of great horror effects anymore. Cabin in the Woods gave it to us in full detail and abundance.

I loved the movie. Not the be all end all of horror flicks. But a good horror comedy, probably the best since the 80's. It's also not really hard to follow the plot, it's pretty well laid out for you. If you found this movie weird, you obviously haven't watched enough horror movies.

I wished that the Cenobite in Cabin got some more screen time. I really liked Cabin, but the replay value is a bit limited. A lot of the fun was seeing how things played out the first time. And actually, I'm more of a Hellbound fan.

BUT that wasn't a lament configuration. That wasn't a cenobite/// I saw him and thought that but... I deeply thought about it and nah he wasn't a cenobite

^^^ Same here, in that I liked Hellbound better than the first Hellraiser. Not that I disliked the first -- I dig it just fine -- I just prefer the second one.

As for Cabin, I've yet to pause my screen on the underground cubes thing, but after someone recently mentioned having spotted a Patrick Bateman-type character in there, I'm really tempted.

Nope, not really an obsession but like UltraViolence said, you love it or not. I loved it. WAY MUCH MORE than Hellraiser and I'm a HUGE Cenoites fan man. So there.
