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!!!

Silent Hill 4: The Room is the First Silent Hill Game to Make the Save Zone Dangerous

Silent Hill has always had a piece of red paper, or an area where you can save your game, to avoid getting yourself killed and starting over the entire playthrough you just completed. 

However, there is one Silent Hill game that decided to change the formula. 

Silent Hill 4: The Room follows the story of Henry, a simple guy that is living in an apartment with a lot of tenants. Henry discovers something strange in his room, finding his door has locked him inside his apartment from the outside world, and the only way out is through a hole in his bathroom. 

Unfortunately, it does not lead to an escape. 

Henry finds out that the hole is an actual portal to Silent Hill, where he must defeat monsters and travel through Silent Hill to discover the truth of why evil has entered his apartment building. He discovers that a serial killer is behind this mess, that has trapped multiple people along with Henry in his sick game of wanting to appease the cult in Silent Hill. 

What's worse, is that every time Henry is given some kind of break from Silent Hill, the apartment is no longer a safe zone. Henry or the player has to go back to the apartment in order to save their game. 

The problem is that there is something else wrong with the apartment. Entities from Silent Hill, along with other creepy stuff are now appearing in Henry's apartment. A place where you are supposed to feel safe, is now linked to Silent Hill. There is no way out, and Henry must be willing to face any obstacle to ensure his escape from the serial killer's trap. 

Silent Hill 4: The Room is a huge heartbreak for me within the Silent Hill franchise. I'm sad I will never be able to play this game. It was only released on older consoles, and I had no choice but to watch the gameplay and story online. I hope that this game will eventually get a remake. 

Hopefully Silent Hill 2 Remake will be so awesome, that the rest of the franchise will continue!
