Cabin Fever is good campy fun. It has everything a good horror film should, sex, drugs, gore, pokes at the genre, and suspense. Eli Roth is one of the most promising young horror directors out there, and his first horror film will always be remembered.
A lonely guy tries to make girls like him by trying to impress them with a whole bunch of stupid crap. He fails, but then actually gets a girl when he stops trying and decides to be himself.
Police interrogation scenes involving good cop/bad cop and/or references to good cop/bad cop by the person being interrogated, CGI, slow motion, and 90% of horror movie cliches (I'd say about 10% actually work).
If any character in an Action or Horror movie shows a picture of his "two little kids" or his "little sweetheart back home", it is 100% guaranteed he will die at some point in the movie.

Good one.
Also in horror films the jokester/prankter/jester of the group always gets it real nasty.
"The Flux capacitor. It's what makes time travel possible."
Eurgh you just can't win. In one movie you have too much sex and you die. In another you don't have enough sex and you die. Ideally you wanna be having so much sex that you're not actually having any. That'll baffle the deranged psycho killers who are after you based on your sexual proclivity.
Don't forget your white trash prison rapist and token religious Latino cellmate.
I also think it's safe to say sex alone is a horror movie cliche, let alone sex amongst preppy brats who deserve to die. Reference to and/or poking fun at the whole have-sex-and-you-die cliche (ala Cherry Falls) is also a cliche. Really, the whole genre is haemorrhaging T&A, both literally and figuratively.
Has anyone ever turned the horror clichés inside out? For example having the sexually active teen girl live and overcome the evil, whilst the frigid ones die?
Let’s face it, it's not really the sexually active girls these horror writers hate, it's the ones that are sexual, but aren't sexual with them.
You could also have someone wander out into the woods on their own, whilst everyone in the cabin gets killed. That sort of thing.
