10 Most Stupid Decisions In Horror Movies
10. Eating The Fruit - Pan's Labyrinth
When a friendly mythical faun appears and gives you the opportunity to get yourself digs in a magical kingdom as an escape from a 1940's fascist regime and sadistic, murderous step father, the least you can do is listen to him and his faerie pals. They are magic, after all.
Whilst feeling a little snacky when faced with certain death is somewhat understandable - no one wants to die on an empty stomach - when the whole situation can be avoided by packing your own lunch and avoiding the giant cursed dinner table, it's more than a little frustrating to see Ofelia chowing down on two grapes, of all things, when she's supposed to be on a stealthy theft mission deep in a monster's lair. Does seeing disconnected eyeballs on a plate make you hungry? Maybe, but staying alive is much better for the appetite.
What makes this all the more face-palm inducing is that Ofelia, a child, even clocks a load of artistic impressions of the Pale Man feasting exclusively on children like a boneless banquet deluxe meal before literally doing the one thing that will wake him up. Never has The Grapes Of Wrath sounded so appropriate.
