Horror movies where nobody survives – Looper

The Cabin in the Woods is a horror comedy about a group of college students who set out on a trip to an isolated cabin. But unbeknownst to the kids, they're being manipulated by a secret agency that's controlling their actions with pheromones, causing the students to act like stereotypical horror movie characters. Worse still, the government agents release a group of monsters onto our heroes, forcing the kids to face down these paranormal terrors.

As the group is slowly axed off, it's revealed that the entire fate of the world is dependent on each member of the group being sacrificed. The annual slaughter is done to appeal to a group of god-like beasts known as "the Ancient Ones," and as part of the ritual, five humans are murdered by some pretty ghastly creatures. And the five specially selected victims each represent five horror archetypes the whore, the athlete, the scholar, the fool, and the virgin. According to the rules, the whore must die first, followed by most everyone else, while the virgin can either live or die last.

While this morbid plan doesn't sound incredible for the victims, the alternative is much worse. If the agency fails to carry out the sacrifice, it would mean the end of the world, courtesy of the Ancient Ones, which is exactly what ends up happening. The virgin and the fool decide that they won't uphold this deranged system of sacrifice and sit together as the world crumbles, leaving the film on a rare earnest note.
