  Cabin in the woods would be a bit tougher as it’s also been shown that they play dirty , they’ll put in pheromones that make you do stupid things like split up

  Honestly this trope doesn't annoy me as much as the one where the killer falls down and the protagonist doesn't curb stomp them into soup. Like come on, they are down and your standing, stomp on them like a bug and be done with it.

  To be fair to the characters on Cabin in the Woods, Kurt originally told the group to stick together. Hadley and Sitterson manipulated them into splitting up by releasing gasses that alters their behaviors and decision making. It's also fun to notice through rewatches that the group originally doesn't act like their assigned archetypes, which also meant the ritual is bound to fail right from the beginning.

  I feel like the group could easily survive Predator since it's not a group of highly trained soldiers, it's a group of random people so the Predator wouldn't see the group as worthy to hunt

  &quot;Kevin&quot; is a child entity that kills anyone that enters the house with deadly improvised traps because he was abandoned by his family.<br><br>It&apos;s a Home Alone reference.

  Cabin in the Woods is literally unbeatable, because they can alter your behavior with gasses if you do stick together, and even if you don&apos;t split up afterwards, the world just ends and you die.

  a quiet place is another thing where being in a group is the LAST thing you want to do

  Staying together in Final Destination would save more lives than you think, 80% of the the problem with Death in Final destination is not knowing your friend just escaped death and its your turn now. Staying together would allow them to know whose turn it is better

  to be fair you&apos;re talking about 5 trusted individuals together. The ones based on drama without fantasy elements usually focus on not knowing who you can trust

  I mean... Cabin in the Woods is a deconstruction of the very tropes your channel analyzes. The sacrifices aren&apos;t allowed to make intelligent decisions or have any agency because they must &quot;follow the script&quot;. The underground facility removes as many variables and IQ points from the scenario as they possibly can. Up to and including trapping the sacrifices with magic forcefields and dosing them with magical drugs that force them into classic horror movie behavior, which includes splitting up.<br><br>So unless you manage to nail that billion to one chance Marty did, you cannot win by staying together. Or win in general. And even if you do somehow win, you and the rest of humanity still lose because the Ancient Ones wake up.

  One thing I learned from playing Dead By Daylight, when there&apos;s an objective to be done to escape, dividing is half the battle but actually sustaining yourself in order for your team to conquer the killer is just as vital.

  For cabin in the woods its a lose lose situation, you win the world ends and everyone dies but if you lose just your freind group dies and the designated finalgirl/boy gets to live
