These kinds of movies make you afraid to travel


It's watching movies like these that gives you a phobia about traveling outside the country. Scary, scary, scary.

Well, We are talking about juarez, one of the most dangerous places.

Before travelling, should plan the trip and read where not to go ;)

I've never had a movie cause me to be afraid of anything. But I do scare others about traveling through rural Nevada and other rural areas by watching movies like the Hills Have Eyes and Chainsaw Massacre. Some people actually believe that kind of stuff actually happens. And they stop talking to you for a long time if you pretend the car died in the middle of the road and your cell phone died.

...they sure do. Other examples being Return to Paradise and Brokedown Palace.
On t.v., there's a NatGeo series called Locked Up Abroad, and it's even
worse!

Afraid to travel?
Maybe stay at home with an attitude like that.

If it harms none, do what thou wilt.

Really? I saw this movie on a night bus, in which I was the only white person, in rural Bolivia. I admit to being a bit creeped out, but big part of that was that there was about 20 kids aged under 12 in the bus, and I thought this movie in the middle of the night with that audience was too heavy.

Didn't make me afraid of traveling though! How?

You'll be right, boy.

Just buy into a gated community, get more doorlocks and security devices, and maybe a few more handguns & assault rifles, drive a two ton fatboy jeep and don't talk to any non white people.

Then you might feel a bit safer. Mind you, it's a scary old world out there. There's three hundred odd million of your psychopathic fellow countryfolk just looking for an excuse - any - to kill you.
