10 Best Horror Films: Group of Friends Killed in an Unfamiliar Territory or Cabin in the Woods

If you have the patience (or that bizarre fascination) of watching a group of kids or adults fall into demise in a remote area or a cabin in the woods because of some ill-luck circumstance, here's a list for you.

Dead Snow (2009)

66%56%6.4/10

A group of medical students on a ski trip to Oksfjord, Norway for their Easter vacation come upon the horrors of the Nazi regime that should have been buried long ago. Reckless of them to neglect research on the mountain they're hoping to enjoy, it has been plagued by a presence of evil as told by a shady stranger who visited their cabin. An army of Nazi who were able to escape the wrath of the avenging civilians had sought refuge in that very cold mountain during the WWII, taking with them stolen goods they deem precious. They should have been long forgotten as time flies by. But they didn't die of starvation as the locals hope, rather they morphed into a living dead thing that still thrive. So the group is seeking fun and adventure. Hell, they'll be in the highest kind of adventure in their lives.

Cabin in the Woods (2012)

91%73%7/10

A group of friends opt for a break in the mountains where they will be staying at a remote cabin in the woods. Unbeknownst to them, each room contains different kinds of evil waiting for them to unfold. They are subject to something beyond their control.

The five of them represent something ancient. Their fates are within their hands, evil bounds depending on the items they choose to open, secrets they choose to unlock and how they deal with them.

Wrong Turn (2003)

41%54%6.1/10

A doctor running late for an interview sought for a shortcut when his car crashed onto a van in the middle of nowhere. Apparently, a group of friends set their own trip and got their vehicle stuck in the middle of the road.

What they didn't know was that they were set for a trap in a cannibal-laden forest.

A man cut loose the breaking rope to save himself from a rock-climbing mishap that in turn killed all 3 of his friends from the fall. After being released from the mandatory mental rehab, his doctor prescribed to him another year of mandatory visits for his assessment.

Now he is set to prove his theory otherwise with a handful of soon-to-be college graduates in a 50-mile isolated home.

Night of the Demons (1988)

31%25%4.7/10

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

96%88%8/10

Fresh victims are sure going to feed blood to the grounds of the camp before it has a chance to reopen.
