10 Smartest Decisions In Horror Movies

It's one thing to agree to work on a documentary about an elderly woman with Alzheimer's disease as she's interviewed and reminisces on what memories she had left. It's another thing entirely to get sucked into a supernatural showdown where she's speaking in tongues and discovered to be connected to a ritual cannibalistic murderer that disappeared some time ago.

Learning that information gets a swift 'no thanks' from documentarian Gavin, who decides that it's all a bit too much for him and gets out of there scot-free before anything nasty happens. Where there's ritual sacrifice, there's usually an evil spirit, so let's just say it was a good thing he left when he did when you learn the fates of the other two members of the filming crew. Hanging out with an insane old woman intent on communicating with evil itself really isn't how you want to spend your weekends.

Also, special shoutout to Event Horizon for following a similar smart idea by deciding to get the hell out of space when they learn the vessel they're investigating is compromised, even if they didn't manage to see it through. "We're leaving" will forever be the most intelligent decision one can make in the face of discovering demonic forces intent on feasting on your eternal soul.
