Rule breakers

Any one seen any flicks where they take genre conventions and destroy them?

~Possible spoilers~

For example: In Black Christmas the first character killed is the virgin. And in The Blob they graphically depict the death of a child. Also, in Psycho, the main character is killed in the middle of the movie.

what? you cant kill the virgin first, the virgin never dies! how did that start anyways? although i never believed it, but its funny in movies like scary movie 1 & 2!! but in a sence its a good thing because whats the point of being a good director if you never challange the rules or make up your own? i like directors who arent afraid to question authority(so to speak)!!!! :D

Yeah, the first time I saw Black Christmas I was really thrown for a loop. Didn't expect them to kill the virgin first. And the heroine of the film was pregnant!! Bob Clark really surprised me...for the good.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasnt Fri the 13th the first movie to have the serial killer be female? Maybe it wasnt, but it was the first thing that popped in my head. I know the first time I saw it I thought that it was cool the killer was the mother and then I remember thinking well who the hell else would it have been.

Janet getting killed at the end of the first act of Psycho is a big wowzer; and like Ritualistic, I thought the whole grabber of Scream had to be a goofy dream or film-within-a-film sequence. The end of Pranks/Dorm That Dripped Blood (horrible movie, though) is pretty shocking when the Final Girl is killed. You just can't kill off the Final Girl!!!!!!!
