Popular films such as Halloween, Scream, Babysitter Wanted, Hostel Part 2 etc all use women who are attacked in some way by powerful men.
Halloween is a good example where the babysitter is attacked, but survives. Endings of films usually leave room for sequels and horror Franchises like Friday The 13th, Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street have succeeded in achieving sult status, proving that the typical horror style can be successful (when they have a twist or surprise.)
Women tend to be vulnerable, crying and even though locations may be familar, they are not normal to the character. (ie a babysitter in somebody else's house.) The sense of familiarity can be important for an audience. Even though films such as Avatar are successful because they break the boundaries, using futuristic locations and effects, it's always a good idea to have films that viewers can relate to.
