The Cabin In The Woods Was The Perfect Slashers Critique 

It's honestly one of my favorites. It's actually unique in its self awareness. Funny too

To this day it gives me an existential crisis lol

The ritual is cultural so it definitely varies. In the US it has to be a group of college students (all the slashers and whatnot of the 70s and 80s etc) with the virgin being the last one standing. In Japan it’s young schoolgirls and curses (and they’ll likely have a set of rules they need to fulfill as well to complete their ritual). We never find out specifics, but the best guess would be to analyse Japanese horror and their own tropes for them ☺️

Honest to God question, did you watch the video? Your first paragraph is essentially confirming the running trope of using sex as an “excuse” to kill off characters. It’s “the sin” which this movie pokes fun at. Also highlights how unnatural some of those sex scenes are when the engineers have to manipulate them into doing it. This specific trope has happened a lot in horror movies and I think it was time to change things up a bit. And the cabin in the woods seemed to agree. This isn’t to say horror movies with said tropes are without its merit. They were pioneers for a reason. They just got monotonous along the way. Trust me, there’s plenty of horror movies pre this movie that I love, so I do recognise the good in horror. Also, the “this is why horror sucks” is more the ultimate message this movie was sending (in my opinion, and the reasoning is explained in this video). the Final girl is also a trope they poke fun at as well because she’s usually a virgin, and in this case Dana (and the director says “we work with what we have”), in ither words saying it’s unrealistic of stories to always include a final girl that “fits” certain pre-requisites in order to be worthy of the title. We’ve also seen more and more final girls in recent years that aren’t that specific cliche, they’re flawed and allowed to be flawed (something you would never expect from a final girl). Not sure how any if these rings untrue, but happy to hear your side! ☺️
