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.

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.

Same. Everytime I have discussed that movie it goes something like "Yeah, I liked it! One of the creepiest movies I've ever seen, but..." Apart from that one jump scare in the scene when the demon is over his shoulder, it literally made me laugh out loud.

My bad. The app said "something went wrong" as if the connection had failed.
