Very, very low budget/indie but the concept is just superb and something we've all thought about in some way or another. Exciting and over the top movie.
9. The Cabin in the Woods (2011)

Horror is loosely applied to this one, but that's the genre and it's a hell of a movie. It's Joss Whedon's take on the horror genre and stereotypes.
