10 Dumbest Decisions Ever Made In Horror Movies
2. I Know What You Did Last Summer - Stopping To Look Back
I Know What You Did Last Summer seriously trolled the fans with Helen's death. All Sarah Michelle Gellar's character had to do was keeping on running and she would have made it to safety.
But no, in a move straight out of the horror cliche bible, Helen stops and looks back to see whether the hook-handed fisherman she was fleeing from had caught up, and this alone is what got her killed.
A few steps further and she would have left that dark alley behind and caught up with a parade march, finding safety in plain sight, but apparently nobody told her the golden rules of slasher film survival. Even the teens in Scary Movie have stronger survival instincts than this.
