Any movie where 1 cell phone would resolve the situation. A lot of serial camper killers would get shut down pretty fast.

    Just put the camp outside of cell service. Plenty of camping in the mountains outside of cell service.

    Still fully believable

    Our group of teenagers should definitely split up to search for the monster and/or serial killer!

    Rather than making a swift exit to anywhere else, we should instead hide in this building where we think the killer is

    That’s why I love Cabin in the woods. They make it a creepy movie, but also make fun of all the common horror tropes by having the haunted grounds be a very orchestrated event.

    “Oh no my cell phone doesn’t work” It’s because the creepy org turned on a cell phone jammer

    “Why don’t they just leave?” The creepy org blows up a shit load of tnt to make the tunnel collapse

    It would be kinda funny for someone to make something that starts as a horror movie but then everyone acts in a sensible manner without contrived reasons for their efforts failing, resulting in the whole dangerous situation falling apart over the course of the plot until its more a sort of parody of horror movies than a proper example.

    That's just a normal movie

    The best horror movies are the ones where all the characters act in a highly capable and intelligent way and the monster/force/whatever still keeps beating them. Like The Thing. Or Alien.

    I want a horror movie where some of the heroes are genre-savvy, Practical Guide to Evil style. I picture it starting as a horror, and shifting into a kind of heist storyline

    There are also a swath of movies that couldn't be made because of the ubiquity of surveillance cameras.

    Who did it!?! Checks camera

    Not just cellphones but every house now is equipped with a camera on the doorbell and possibly several more throughout the house. Back in the day serial killers basically just had to not be around when the police showed up and had a pretty good chance of just getting away
