Locking the doors and windows Arming your self Gathering/Taking notes about antagonist Double tap(Obviously🙄🙄🙄) Stay in together/in one group DON'T SPLIT UP Plan a head for traps Go somewhere open where killer can't hide Bring(preferably small and portable) melee weapons, spare ammo, flashlights, fully charged portable charger, batteries, multi tool *DISTRACTIONS* Barricading If it looks sketchy. *Leave* *IT* *ALONE*(i.e demonic book, sketchy behavior- Jeepers Creeper 1) When in doubt, head out Learn basic self defense Have a dog and or cat(they have better senses) Listen to said animal Check surroundings Double check any and all escapes vehicles Use what you know(about antagonist) to your advantage If you're gonna fight. Fight hard. Be aggressive. *DON'T* *BE* *A* (highschool and horror movie) *STEREOTYPE* Wear suitable clothing *READ* Your weaknesses are also your strengths if you know how to use it Don't be afraid to be *HIGHLY* skeptical and suspicious of every one Cut off emotional ties Always map out environment If you have any others NOICE😎😎, but this is kinda my basic horror movie survival list.

@cajum.65 3 года назад

To me, the smartest decision ever made by a character in a horror movie happens in Scream 2 - but it isn't Sidney's at all. After finding out what happened to the former cameraman and witnessing a murder in his own news van, Joel - Gale's new assistant - simply calls a cab and quits the jib, not after telling Gale that she needs her head examined for actively chasing a serial killer on the loose and not returning in the film until the killings have ceased. As he wisely says previously in the movie: "I want to report the news, I don't want to be the news." It's really refreshing to see a character who has basic self-preservation skills in the horror genre.

@josieposie7615 3 года назад

Ikr. By far my favorite character in the movie, in the entire beginning of the movie he was questioning and telling gale to be careful. This dude knows how to get out of stuff and I will forever thank the horror movie gods for gifting us with this character.

@squidwardtentacles2736 Год назад

The blood test scene in The Thing is and will always be my favorite in horror movies. The tension is so palpable and you can practically feel the anxiety from the characters expressions. Simply brilliant

@FlamesAndShadows Год назад

Yes, but they cocked up by tying everyone too close together after just finding out that it can detach parts of itself and infect through contact. Sneaky pieces that would jump start the process, but not yet register on the blood test due to it being gradual cell conversion and that gore explosion after one was found puts too many at risk

@squidwardtentacles2736 Год назад

@@FlamesAndShadows yeah I never understood why they tied so many people with same rope...that was a bit weird. I guess they just did it that way to make them more helpless for that scene when the Thing reacted and started attacking, which does make more suspenseful.

@erikthompson619 4 года назад

Oh no, no, no. This list is sooo wrong. The very, undisputed, ultimate smartest move by a character in a horror movie was made by Alex in "Wishmaster", by uttering the following words: "I wish Mickey Torelli hadn't been drinking two days ago". An act of total brilliance that not only saved her but literally undid all damage done by the villain. For the last 1000 years, at least...

A few more awesome smart decisions in horror movies: 1. Orphan -- when the main character called the police. 2. Bad Samaritan -- when the main character went to the police and the FBI, before climbing into the lair of a maniac himself. P.S. Caution has always been the best quality of movie characters. IMHO

@johntumahab323 3 года назад

I just finished watching "Train to Busan" for the first time, and I think that one's got a good contender. The zombies are the "fast-moving" type in that one and are totally relentless, but are only active if they can actually see prey in front of them. They have no short-term memory whatsoever, so as soon as they can't see a human to kill they immediately become benign (provided they can't hear them either). So the protagonist is able to get an attacking zombie off of him by...throwing a coat over its head. It can no longer see him or hear him over the surrounding din and so it stops attacking.

@ninjabunnywholivesinsideaw8216 Год назад

I agree! Some of the characters in Train to Busan make some pretty smart decisions, including putting newspapers up on the window of the train so the zombies will stop attacking, because like you said, they only attack what they can see.

Really the drawing blood scene, I would've gone with Invisible Man's climax where she sets up main villain Adrian's assassination/fake suicide and gets away with killing him by using the 3rd cloaking suit she found and conveniently tucked away during the early half of the film I mean that was great forethought and anticipating on her part she knew even if she got the confession Adrian being the manipulative scumbag that he is would've figured out a way to get off scot free so she decided to set his death up and this was a smart move along with remembering where in the mansion she stored the 3rd cloaking suit I mean as soon as she said "I need to go to the bathroom to wash up" that was pretty much the signal to Adrian's well-deserved death.

@greenisnotacreativecolour 4 года назад

In switchblade romance, the main character goes to clean up and hide in a public restroom, and dries the taps after she's used them. That's pretty smart, especially when the killer checks the taps for recent use! It's either subverted or explained by the ending, depending on whether or not you like the movie.

Although it’s implied, we are never told if he goes through with sleeping with the prostitute or not in it follows, that’s a main theme of the movie .. ambiguity.

I’m a few years late but there was a scene in the movie The Faculty as well, where they had used the science lab to make a chemical that would show who has the parasite after they snort it (although the queen was smart enough to pretend to take it but had instead used her pinky to open it and let it leak out before pretending to take it)

@porpus99 Год назад

Here is how you handle 'It Follows'. The movie shows the monster is physically there. Even people who cannot see it can interact with it. Fill a super soaker with diluted paint. Walk around near some police or other witnesses, then spray the invisible thing to show everyone there is something there. There, now the thing is visible, and you can just keep walking or get a ride away from it. Maybe get the military interested to catch the thing for study.

Horror movie trends spike when the world is darker, it gives people a cathartic release from the built up stress. IT's when the dark times start clearing up that we get the feel good surge of movies/tv.

Do a "Smartest Decisions In Action Movies". I nominate Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies. She and Arnold escape the torture hut and the first thing she does is step out of her high heels and leave them behind. Not a lot of attention is even brought to it, but I remember me, my best friend and about 5 other women scattered around the theatre started applauding. Any other action movie, the woman would keep the heels on, causing her to fall and endanger herself and/or the 'hero'. This was great.

Paul Sheldon didn't Actually burn "Misery's Return" - he had re-typed the cover page, a few of the top pages, and sat that on top of a bunch of blank paper. Then he set fire to That🔥! He kept the book he wrote at Annie's, and after he escaped, had it published. Even smarter!😜
