10 Dumbest Decisions In Recent Horror Movies
7. Melting Down All The Weaponry - Zombieland: Double Tap
Mark the residents of Babylon, a fortified hippie commune amidst the backdrop of Zombieland: Double Tap, down as some of the more foolish inhabitants of a horror film in recent memory.
Things are tough enough in a zombie apocalypse. Every day is a fight for survival when resources are sparse and the majority of the people one runs into are demented screaming flesh eaters. As such, to say that the transgressions of these brainless bohemians are dumb is akin to stating that zombies don't mind a nibble of human flesh every now and again.
As post apocalyptic strongholds go, Babylon's inhabitants have pretty much everything working for them in terms of security. Their compound is surrounded by large reinforced walls, with the added benefit of an enormous tower for the residents to retreat to should the external defenses be breached. This is all worst case scenario of course, due to the fact that such a fortress should be easy to defend with a basic array of weaponry.
About that.
Babylon has two strict rules: no group sex and no weapons. Regrettably, the latter is the only one that is rigidly adhered to - all newcomers must melt their weapons down upon arrival. As such, when the enraged horde of "T-800" zombies arrives on the scene, our heroes are left with little more than makeshift armaments to repel them.
Supreme foolishness exemplified.
