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!!!

Videodrome is the Weirdest Body Horror Movie I Have Ever Seen

Videodrome is another horror film that was directed by David Cronenberg, a cult classic that gained a huge horror fanbase. The first time I watched this film, it was one of the strangest horror experiences ever. The story follows a man named Max Renn who is interested in watching a tape known as Videodrome. 

What follows is a mystery of body horror and psychological terror, as the viewer attempts to figure out if it is all in Max's head, or he is really is going through this kind of absolute horror. This film definitely isn't for everyone, but it does make up for a great experience. 

The body horror in this film is phenomenal. 

It's disgusting, disturbing, and horrible to watch. You feel so uncomfortable, as three other characters use Max's new transformation to their advantage, displaying him to all kinds of other body horror experiences as he attempts to gain control of his own body. 

It's a great film, and another masterpiece by David Cronenberg!

I also never thought in a million years I would get jump scared by a breathing VHS tape. 

Yeah. A VHS tape was literally breathing. 

That is the best way for me to describe what I saw.
