Line 72:
* In ''[[Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]]'', the two main characters split up: one goes to find the [[Big Bad]] while the other hides the [[MacGuffin]]. This is lampshaded in the commentary section of the DVD where one of the writers jokes that they made a classic horror-movie mistake.
* In ''[[The Cabin in the Woods]]'', when the [[Main Characters]] start being hunted by monsters, their first instinct is to stick together no matter what. However, thanks to subliminal messages and intelligence-dampening drugs, the puppeteers behind the situation get the characters thinking they need to split up. The [[Only Sane Man]] in the group is completely befuddled by this.
* ''[[The Babysitter: Killer Queen]]'' is a horror comedy that deconstructs many common horror Tropes, including this one. [[Genre Savvy]] protagonist Cole really does not think splitting up is a good idea, warning Phoebe more than once they have to stay together to survive. The bad guys, however, ''do'' split up, and long story short, {{spoiler| both Cole and Phoebe survive to the ending, the villains do not.}}
