You're not that much smarter than horror movie characters and you would die just as if not more quickly
It's a pretty common sentiment that horror movie characters have the survival instincts equivalent of stepping on a wet puddle with socks on but honestly, the average person isn't going to fare much better.
It's easy to watch them and in retrospect talk about how YOU would do things different but that's because you're detached from the conflict.
Some of the brightest people in the world would absolutely get fucked in horror movie scenarios because they are caught by surprise and intense panic. Like seriously, if a demon monster suddenly appeared in front of you at this very second, are you going to think straight? Like, what are you actually going to do?
Some horror movie victims straight up walked into their own deaths unecessarily but people from the real world also do some really dumb shit all the time. We're just lucky our world is not supernatural yet people still get killed in lots of unexpected ways because of being too careless. #conversation
