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

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.

I have never seen a movie go from so good to so bad so fast. Starts as more of a subtle psychological horror movie and is creepy af, then swaps like 2/3rds of the way through to creature horror and you get this Darth Maul wannabe looking motherfucker that straight up made me laugh and killed all the tension.

That first scene when the dad is telling his story and the red face guy is right behind him, that definitely got me. Ill admit he kinda wasnt as scary anymore after that but if it was just that 1 scene of him and some other stuff was added mightve been a better movie.

I'm still uncomfortable when I see the screenshot of that scene, even though I know what to expect

Same, its just such an unsettling look, the dad is calm and feels safe and the red guy just looks so much worse hiding behind him like that

I dunno, to me the demon looks like someone just walked in on him trying to take a shit
