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!!!

The Thing Still Intrigues Me With its Mystery of Who Became 'The Thing' First

The Thing by John Carpenter is still a cult classic after so many years. Horror fans are still talking about to this day of the order with who became the thing's victim in what order. I have dwelled on this mystery through countless YouTube videos of everyone's theories on who was hunted down in what order. 

It's honestly so awesome that we horror fans know that the majority of the cast bites the dust, but we can't help ourselves. We are left with unanswered questions, ones that we crave like the Thing absorbing each of its victims. The tension is also so amazingly done by the cast. 

The terror the characters experience in their horrible situation builds on the confusion we horror fans feel. The characters are just as lost when it comes to the Thing taking them down one by one. They are not aware who is the Thing, and they grow more and more scared and frustrated as the film progresses. 

I cannot stress enough how many times I have tried to analysis the film. I still attempt to figure out that first shadow we get of the possible first victim of the Thing. I have seen this movie about five times, and I still don't know what the hell happened. 

The Thing is truly a masterpiece. One of the best mystery films I have ever witnessed!

I'm so angry that with single watch of this movie, I always get jump scared by that freaking blood test scene! The silence is so effective, another great aspect of the film!

Thank you for reading!
