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 Sadness is a Horror Film I Will Never Watch Again

You know how everyone has that particular film that they vowed to never watch again? One that you deeply regret ever bothering to sit through? That left you feeling traumatized and sickened?

For me, that was a horror film called The Sadness.

To begin my binging of horror films in October of 2022, I decided to start off the month with The Sadness. The story sounded so intriguing and entertaining: A deadly virus infects everyone, turning people into mindless killing machines that wish to inflict horrific pain on others.

Sounds awesome, right?

I was expecting a gore fest…not a journey that would damage my mind and leave me wanting to tear out my eyeballs after what I just witnessed.

The story follows a young couple who is desperately trying to reunite with each other, but they each experience the most disgusting things that no human being should ever witness.

The virus did more than just force people to kill…humans ended up committing the vilest sins imaginable.

All that mattered to the infected was that their victims would suffer until the very end. To them, humans were the cattle, and they were going to do whatever they wanted with their prey.

The actions are...extremely disturbing.

I had to turn away from the screen multiple times, feeling disgusted with what was happening.

Why did I stay and watch, instead of shutting off the film?

I had to know if this film was going to have a happy ending. Something. Anything. Surely there was some hope in such a bleak environment, right?

Wrong.

The Sadness revealed the bleakest ending I have seen in a horror film. To make a long story short, no mercy was shown to anyone.

Everyone died or suffered unimaginable pain, and I have never felt so sorry for multiple characters in one film.

No one deserves to die like that, and yet; I was forced to endure their pain. I have to give credit to the writer/director here with this film.

They accomplished one thing: It felt like I was watching something that should have remained locked away, forgotten forever.

It was almost like I was watching a snuff film, due to the utter brutality of the deaths, and the realism of the actors portraying their fear and pain.

The actors did a phenomenal job with their performances. They made the film too real, and they did not hold back on anything!

The Sadness is an excellent story with fantastic acting on all ends, but I can't bring myself to ever watch this film again. 

This film...is way too evil for me to endure a second time.


Thank you for reading!
