I’m especially thinking of some bizzare foreign horror movies that didn’t make sense to me and I figure there’s gotta be some from my own (US) culture that just make 0 sense outside of the context of having been raised in this culture.

Part of why I associate the two movies is just the Joss Whedon* (who produced and co-wrote Cabin in the Woods) connection with Alan Tudyk (playing Tucker from T&DvE), Amy Acker, and Fran Kranz (playing Wendy Lin and Marty Mikalski, respectively, in Cabin). The three also appear together in a 2009 series created by Whedon called Dollhouse alongside several other familiar actors from some of his other shows like Firefly and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
That’s all beside the point though, just something I find interesting (in spite of the asterisk). Tucker & Dale has some good genre-aware winks to the audience in the same way as Cabin but much more limited scope.
* Obligatory mention that he’s a couple different kinds of asshole.
