I don’t know about you, but I never really liked horror movies.
Do you ever find yourself feeling embarrassed for the fictional characters when you’re watching a movie? Yeah… that’s how I feel every time I watch a horror movie. You see, it’s not that I’m scared for the characters, it’s that they just seem appallingly stupid. I realize that almost every movie requires a certain suspension of disbelief, but horror movies really take it to a whole other level.
Should I go it alone into this spooky fucking house in the middle of the night? Absolutely!
Hey, a murderer is chasing us, let’s split up!
Somehow I don’t think people would actually act this way in real life (or even most other movie genres) and it turns out that someone else agrees with me on this one.
Finally, a Sensible Horror Movie
I left this sitting in my inbox for a few days because frankly, I wasn’t sure that it would be very funny. It turns out I was wrong. In fact, it turns out that I was very, very wrong. The team that came up with this also made The Matrix Retold by Mom, which is one of my favorite clips in the last 6 months.
Watch that first, and then check this out…
What did you think of that? Pretty accurate if you ask me, especially the spooky cabin in the woods. If I arrived at a place like that, I would get the fuck out of there immediately. I’ve already stayed in housing like that in Egypt thank you very much.
Now, about 30 seconds after ranting about horror movies, I realized something: I actually enjoy the Alien(s) movies!
They’re a mix of horror and science fiction, but you know what? The characters aren’t all complete morons. I mean sure, they get their shit fucked up badly as the movies progress, but still… they seem at least vaguely competent.
What do you think?
