Why is someone always falling when they are being chased in a scary movie?

I know what you mean. And always during danger, the guy tells the gal to be quiet. What's the first thing she does? Yup, screams on top of her bloody lungs at the wrong moment!

And here's another one. Victim is running away from his/her tormentor out for blood. Victim makes it to the car and one of two things happen: can't find the keys or makes it in but car now won't start! Gads, you gotta luv it!

I think someone from the set trips them when they are running. Maybe they all think it's funny that a serial killing psychopath is on the loose in the middle of the woods where a bunch of horny teenagers happen to be.

It does tend to frustrate your every sense in a way though. The ineptitiude and appreciation for the dire circumstance that the person is in. Your lack of control over a potentially violent situation, and how you would handle it differently. It claws at you like an eagle talon through a king salmon, as your heart palpitates endlessly, hoping that this dumb bimbo will somehow finally take 3 steps without bumbling over a piece of tree bark.

Ask Mel Gibson, that's why hollywood didn't want to finance his blockbuster movie. About 8 years ago, the hollywood hierarchy decided not to depend on the union of writers union for new ideas. They are now freelancing, that is why the woman keeps falling down, cause hollywood uppidies ruined everything.

yes and its always the woman that fall,you think i be trying to fall ,if i do im getting back up feel fast and runing for dear life ''f that crap!i want to see some men fall & yelling the way these dum girls do!lmao

in the event that they do no longer fall, then that's an action action picture. (because of the fact in basic terms working completely from fairly slow combatants is in basic terms boring. the two you stumble lots, or you attack them. you do no longer purely bypass strolling.)

brings tension and makes u scared

aka "scary movie"

then the person either does or doesnt get attacked or whatever

It is part of the pre-packed formula that those movies are all about.

It's dramatic rather than realistic. Also sexist maybe?

extends the suspense. simple and so predictable.

So they could be easily attacked
