I said the exact same thing Dole. The raid is to Action movies what Cabin in the woods is to Horror. its great. one of my faves of the year.
Just saw it. Fucking awesome...one of those movies where its a breath of fresh air, its so fun and original, unlike 99.999% of the recycled crap out there. It did for the horror genre what The Raid did for action movies.
The last third was a total blast. I loved it.

I saw this last week and was completely blown away by it. Now it's playing at the theater where I work and I still can't get enough. A co-worker of mine said this, and I'm inclined to agree with her, that this is the best American horror movie to come out in the last 15 years. The performances are rich, the little world they've built is interesting and the third act is a total fucking blast.
My favorite joke/moment switches around but, at the moment, it is:
FUCK YOU! FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUUUCKYOU
Edit - Also, my favorite monster was the mist ghost that rips that guy's soul out in the elevator scene and runs off with it.

My only complaint about the monster selection was that they didn't include any classic slasher movie archetypes, like a Jason Voorhees-type killer or something. The Pinhead parody was great and all (and I guess you could count the clown), but the pure slasher genre needed representing.
Personally, I got a kick out of the robot with the buzzsaws. My gf's fave was the unicorn.

I watched this on a whim and found it to be surprisingly delightful. I look forward to seeing it again.
