I Can't Stand the Horror Trope of Slashers that Can 'Teleport'

  Credit to  Teleportation Vector Images | Depositphotos There is one horror trope that always bothers me when it comes to several horror movies.  How the hell can a slasher be in two places at once? What I mean by that is…why do horror directors sometimes ignore how a human can move? I’ve seen several horror movies that were really great, but were ruined by a killer who was able to teleport.  That doesn’t make any sense.  Unless time travel is involved, then go for it, but a human killer can’t teleport! Where does this sudden supernatural ability come from? It’s just so…stupid. So, like, does the mask or the outfit give the killer powers or what? This is a random side rant, but I felt the need to talk about this. I recently remembered a horror movie where the killer was able to be at two places at once, while he was going after two people.  Like he somehow was able to travel across the entire city in seconds to catch up to the other victim. How??? Not even science can explain this!!!

Evil Dead Rise is the Most Tragic Film in the Evil Dead Franchise

Evil Dead Rise received critical acclaim when it was released in theaters. It also received the most money in the franchises' history, grossing about $147 million worldwide. The film's success was due to a number of factors: One of the best deadite performances in the franchise thanks to the actress Alyssa Sutherland, amazing gore effects, a claustrophobic environment for the characters, great sound design, and the fantastic cast that brought each of these characters to life. 

However, there is one element that truly stood out in the film. 

It is the first Evil Dead film to focus on a family. 

This new take on the Evil Dead films was a genius move. Bringing a loving family into such a chaotic nightmare is more impactful when the kills center on a single family member one by one. It is tragic to watch the family members get murdered. It made the deaths more chilling and horrible, knowing that they are just going to come back as vessels for demons to murder what is left of the family. 

The family concept is truly what made the film stand out among the other ones in the franchise. I can't wait to see what new film is going to be released next. I hope that we get another original crew like the family in Evil Dead Rise; I would like to see different people bite the dust instead of a group of friends. 

Thank you for reading!
