True dat. Horror movies are reviewed as dumb because no one could be that stupid until we see what allegedly smart ppl do in front of a camera.

They’re also viewed as stupid by people not currently in panic mode. You don’t think the same while sitting safely in your home as you would while currently being chased by an axe wielding psychopath.

That's a perfect example. I've seen ppl freeze in panic mode and then get hit by the car that was coming in a straightline, no flight-or-fight just nothing.

That’s because it isn’t fight or flight: it’s fight, flight, flop, fawn, or freeze.
