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

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

        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

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

      Who did it!?! ~Checks camera~

          Heh in the new Mission Impossible, it’s

          Tap for spoiler

          a scary computer program interfering with the audio/video feeds so you couldn’t rely on them. Pretty well done overall, not bad at least.

      Commando. Arnold spends a good chunk of the movie stopping people from getting to a pay phone to let the bad guy know he escaped their custody

      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
