Basically one of the problems in horror movies.
Make people do stupid conclusions and acts for the plot’s sake - so you’d have material for a whole movie’s time instead of 15 minutes 😂
Fortunately some movie plots are a bit more complicated and need actual thinking and mystery-solving.
Every teenie slasher movie: “Hey we got half the football team and half the cheerleaders in a house with a killer who picks us off one by one. Let’s split up!”
A knife? Laughs in metal coat rack
I’m pretty sure the creators of the original film almost wanted a parody of slasher films, which is why it’s so over the top ridiculous at some points lmao
I watched Scary Movie before I watched Scream and I was surprised how similar they actually are. Of course Scary Movie dials the ridiculousness up to eleven, but Scream is just as much of a parody itself.
Some mace would ruin that guys year. Or at least the mask would come off immediately.
