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!!!

What is Survival Horror?

Survival horror is like a combination of horror genres. However, this kind of genre is defined as more of an action-packed adventure, where the person doesn’t feel in control of their situation. 

The person feels the need to defend themselves by the mysterious danger, doing whatever it takes to survive! It’s a terrifying world and is the kind of horror that can be quite tough to deal with. 

Survival horror always takes place in a terrible environment, where escape is impossible, and there is a lack of resources to protect yourself!

In my personal opinion, survival horror is one of the scariest genres. The thought of being hunted by something or someone, with no way out is one of the most terrifying events to experience in horror. 

One of the best examples is The Blair Witch Project, a found footage film that focuses on the survival of three college students who are possibly being hunted by a supernatural force. 

To this day, this film remains the scariest horror scenario for me, the thought of being trapped in the woods with something not human puts so much fear into my body…

I couldn’t imagine dealing with a supernatural entity in the woods…just how the heck could you defend yourself against something like that???



Thank you for reading!
