Never listen to the victims, never call for backup, never follow procedures or abid to their training.
Ridiculous. Why even bother having cops in the plot at all if you're going to make them so unbelievably stupid?
I think you answered your own question. Film makers love to make the police look stupid.
shareYes, because everybody knows that people with degrees in physics and neurobiology like to graduate and accept jobs as police in small towns. Those darned film-makers just refuse to portray them accurately.

Movies are IQ tests. The IMDB boards are each person's opportunity to broadcast their score.
Well, you would at least expect them to have a little common sense, rather than a sense of 'Dukes of Hazzard' stupidity! :D
Yeah because there's no middle ground between a degree in physics and neurobiology and "hey, a girl covered in blood! and bloody footprints leading to a door! let's ignore that!"
It's called self preservation and basic common sense. Crap horror movies ALWAYS rely on these moronic tropes and its weak, lazy writing that should never be excused just because it fits some peoples confirmation bias.
I'm married to a cop and the minute the scene started he looked at me, rolled his eyes, and said: "Here we go again."
