I’m especially thinking of some bizzare foreign horror movies that didn’t make sense to me and I figure there’s gotta be some from my own (US) culture that just make 0 sense outside of the context of having been raised in this culture.

Not exactly what you’re asking, but Cabin in the Woods is like a love letter to all horror movies. It drops references and homages left and right, making horror movie tropes actual plot points, including bizzare foreign horror movies that aren’t explained at all. The more you know about horror movies, folklore, and monster cinema, the more you will understand the movie.
If you haven’t seen it, go see it now. I won’t say anything else.
Have you seen Tucker & Dale vs Evil? It’s not quite the same but I think there’s probably a lot of overlap between people who enjoyed that movie and Cabin in the Woods.
Both are great movies, Cabin definitely is more of an “homage to the genre” while Tucker is a “comedy about the genre” but really good in its own right. Both still have a good horror theme to it but Cabin was more about touching all the tropes while still being a “standard horror”. Tucker and dale is just funny.
Hmm I really liked Tucker & Dale, might give Cabin in the Woods a shot
oh this one is a fav of mine but I was raised redneck so
