The Cabin in the Woods (2011) dir. Drew Goddard
It occurs to me that some people might not actually know where the now-memetic “evil is defeated” image comes from, so here you go.
This just makes me want the context more.
I remember something about this.
The whole idea was that humanity needs to lose to some classic pop culture monsters every year or so, or else some eldritch horror awakens and destroys the whole humanity. That bald dude belongs to the secret organization that is responsible of it. He's cursing the children because the spirit was Japan's trial and the Japanese school children won, meaning the humanity lost. There were other trials around the world that were won as well.
The plot focuses on the American team, made of the classic American horror group, a cheerleader, a jock and I guess there was a nerd and other stereotypes as well.
