Hell No: the sensible horror film
It’s finally here: a horror film that doesn’t make you want to shout at the screen in a futile attempt to correct the stupidity of the protagonists. Well, it’s here in theory thanks to this mock trailer by Pixels per Second. With this clip achieving about 1m views per day since its upload, maybe they should go ahead and make the full movie – anti-climactic as it may be.
