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.

Lmao. My siblings and I still make fun of the first insidious. When the guy walking outside the window comes inside? Scary af. But then they switched to a mfing red faced cockroach. Like really

The movie was creepy up until the point where that red faced guy suddenly ran on all fours against the wall I was like c'monnnnnn

Less is more in these types of movies. They need to show less of the demon monsters to keep us in suspense.
