>Making good decisions in a crises would not make for good horror movies, or at least would be much harder to write and both be scary and not make its characters idiots.
It'd be entirely possible to write characters making good decisions and the villain(s) either reacting in equally smart ways. being so powerful that the good decisions don't matter, or external factors messing things up.
>Like half of slasher movie villains would be successfully defeated by two of their victims just grabbing kitchen knives and being willing to throw down with him at the same time.
Find gun. Shoot slasher. Once slasher is on the ground, shoot slasher in the head until gun is empty. Good decision that would let you survive 99% of slasher films. Whoops, there was a second slasher that couldn't've been known about and now the ammo supply has been exhausted. Bam! Good decision, peril remains.
