Reply to comment by farfetchedfrank in Horror movies - do they deliberately make characters so stupid things to stir the audience emotions up while watching? by geo_gan
Maybe. I’m just still thinking of X and a lot of the girls in that definitely did stupid things, like over the top stupid. It’s like the emotions were exaggerated, the hysterics were magnified, the screaming was louder. I dunno, maybe it’s just that kind of female hysterics just triggers the male brain and wants to tell them to shut up and calm down ie act more like a male would.

You're saying this about a film where the blokes end up as cannon fodder and we're left with a strong female character. Man, I'd like to see your take on the OG Ellen Ripley!

Main character yes was a string Ripley type character. The others were not though. And yes men in this were dumb as hell.
