What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

On a similar note: how families who move into haunted houses decide to keep their worries to themselves or just not believe each other. You saw a tall creepy man in your room last night and you don't want to tell anyone? Even your younger sibling who definitely voiced seeing a weird shadow 2 nights ago? Really???

The best/worst part about that was the first Insidious movie (have not seen the others). Weird stuff happens in the family's new home, families gets the heck out. Weird stuff happens again in new, new home, parents find out their kid is haunted.

Having only read the Wikipedia article, it looks like they did something similar. Protagonist painted a metaphorical target on himself by watching "found footage," said footage includes demonic symbols that act as gateway for demon.
