The Cabin in the Woods (2012)
Five teenagers head off for a weekend at a secluded cabin in the woods. They arrive to find they are quite isolated with no means of communicating with the outside world. When the cellar door flings itself open, they of course go down to investigate. They find an odd assortment of relics and curios but when one of the women, Dana, reads from a book she awakens a family of deadly zombie killers. There's far more going on however than meets the eye as the five campers are all under observation.

The End... Oh, Holy s#@&!
Just when we think we're safe and that the horror is over, it is the perfect moment for one last scare.

Let's Split Up
Sure, there is a psychopatic killer, or a terrifying ghost and, instead of sticking together and increasing the chances of survival, they decide to split up and let the bad guy get them one by one.

Evil Dead (2013)
The Cabin in the Woods
Most of the film is based in The Evil Dead, from the isolated cabin in the middle of nowhere, to the book that awakens the creatures. The whole atmosphere is pretty similar.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
Creepy guy in Gas Station
Just like in the 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', group arrives at an isolated gas station when they're met by a really creepy guy; which may be a sign of the horror that is about to come.

I recently saw 'The Cabin in the Woods', which I found incredibly smart and a great tribute to the horror history. Here they are some references I found.
