Guys are the problem.


Recently these home invader flicks all have hot guys breaking in. Too distracting. Put some creeps in there and make it scarier.

Do you find pretty female victims equally distracting?

I actually find that attractive killers/sociopaths (male or female) are more realistic/frightening because in my own personal experience more attractive people are able to get away with more, while less attractive or obviously creepy people set off red flags more quickly. We are naturally biased to think of pretty or handsome people as being good or nice--having those people turn out to be evil is more of a jolt.

I think that getting Hollywood to give up eye candy in their movies (especially their horror/thrillers) would be quite the uphill battle!

Haha i guess you're right.
