how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 55 comments (50 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) — 18 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 18 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“the surprise it’s spoiled right away with that eagle flying in to the force field”

“a "sensational" experience that completely overwhelmed my senses. It took every imaginable genre cliché and mixed them together so masterfully that I found myself lost in the "chewy" and rhythmic chaos of it all. The "vivid" and stylish depictions of slaughter were so sophisticated that I actually questioned if it was okay to be this entertained by such carnage. It felt like a "revelation" in cinematic flair, **** the fourth wall of typical horror or thriller tropes to deliver a "raw" and high-tension immersion that kept me on the edge of my seat.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“The Cabin in the Woods isn't merely another "Scream" exercise in self-awareness, or a "Scary Movie" spoof of the same. It's a wickedly smart hybrid mutation, biting the severed hand feeding the genre.”
Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times · 100
“By the time the ride is over, director Drew Goddard and co-writers Goddard and Joss Whedon will change course three or four times, nodding and winking but never losing momentum.”
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle · 100
“It's an exercise in metafiction that, while providing grisly fun, never distances viewers. And it's entertaining, while asking the same question of viewers and characters alike: Why come to a place you knew all along was going to be so dark and dangerous?”
Keith Phipps, The A.V. Club · 91
“Drew Goddard's giddily brilliant The Cabin in the Woods has a lot on its twisted mind.”
David Ehrlich, Boxoffice Magazine · 90
“Not since "Scream" has a horror movie subverted the expectations that accompany the genre to such wicked effect as The Cabin in the Woods, a sly, self-conscious twist on one of slasher films' ugliest stepchildren: the coed campsite massacre.”
Peter Debruge, Variety · 90

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“Hilarious and frightened: shaken, not stirred. Great movie, one of the best in this "genre" for quite a while.”

“Finally got around to The Cabin in the Woods. 8/10, great fun. A Joss Whedon-(co)written (also co-written and directed by Drew Goddard, who wrote Cloverfield) take on an old horror staple in which 5 stereotypical teenagers (an academic, a jock, a stoner, a slut and a "nice" girl) venture out into the woods for a dirty weekend. It's no spoiler to say that these unfortunate young naïfs appear to have been cherry-picked and are being heavily monitored all the way into the woods by some very (very) ”
