And Pi destroys Following.

The idea for this one comes from Frownland, though I have semi-adjusted it. Misadvertised films is the theme.

Hmm... while I really liked both movies I felt Drive had a little something more to it that made me really appreciate it more. Cabin in the Woods was a really fun movie and it did so much to satirize one of my favourite genres, but I don't think the cast was up to much. The two operator guys were great, but other than that it really did feel different from a movie I'd see on SyFy at 11 pm on a Saturday. Conversely I felt the entire cast of Drive was fantastic, from Ryan Gosling's quiet rage-fueled time bomb to Albert Brooks' frighting turn as a bad guy.

Drive - 1
Cabin in the Woods - 0

I will agree that Drive is the better film. I think it will be looked back upon as one of the great movies of this decade.

Drive - 2
Cabin In The Woods - 0

The Cabin In The Woods had better blow me away due to the amount of hype it has received.

It won't. You definitely need to lower your expectations before watching it. It's a decent movie but very flawed and nowhere near as good as people make it out to be.

Definitely Drive. I love the pacing, especially the opening scene with the car chase that isn't over the top but still sets your nerves on edge. The ambiguous ending and the cinematography are great as well. Cabin in the Woods was better than I thought it was going to be but in the end it's just a well made cheesy horror flick. Definitely loved the humour in it, but Drive is far better.

I didn't think the ending was ambiguous at all.

I usually stand alone on this but I found Drive to be pretty slow and boring. Cabin in the Woods was a good cheesy horror flick and I found it far better then Drive.

Drive -3
Cabin In The Woods -1
