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!!!

A Quiet Place: Day One was a Heartfelt Horror Story about Friendship Among Strangers

I am genuinely surprised that the next installment in the A Quiet Place franchise was actually good! Normally, prequel horror films tend to do pretty bad, due to poor storytelling, or explaining the origin of where the evil came from.

Fortunately, this movie did the complete opposite!

We never get a backstory to the aliens (yay) and the story that we follow is between two strangers that find each other during the end of the world.

The story follows a woman named Sam, who is sick and dying. She doesn’t allow anyone to get to close, (except for her adorable kitty cat) due to her condition.

Sam is convinced by her nurse to leave the hospice and spend time outside to enjoy a slice of pizza in the city. Sam agrees, but instead of a wonderful time in the city among humans, the alien invasion begins.

Sam barely survives and decides to begin her own journey of searching for that slice of pizza before she dies.

Not playing, that is Sam’s main goal, but the execution is honestly so sweet!

Sam meets a stranger named Eric and they stay together to survive. The chemistry between both actors is adorable, they bond over their situation and form a powerful friendship.

Eric was such a sweetheart in the film. Even though he was terrified of possibly getting killed by an alien with one swipe, he wanted to do whatever it took to make Sam happy.

Sam also did whatever it took to keep Eric alive, calming him down whenever he got too scared. Even her own kitty cat provided Eric with comfort!

Watching their last main interaction during an awesome scene when Eric is pretending to introduce Sam to an imaginary audience as they share a slice of pizza together was the best scene in the entire film!

A Quiet Place: Day One is probably my favorite film in the franchise! It was unexpected in the best way possible, and it was genius of the filmmakers to only focus on two people throughout the film.

Watching the chaos enfold through the lens of two different characters really brought an original take to the franchise!
