Face it. We never watch horror movies for the good guys, the innocent characters who do no wrong. We don’t go into a horror movie rooting the those paragons of all that is right in the world today. Rather, we go into them to be terrified. We want to see how evil, brutal, or downright disturbed humanity can be. We want to see how wrong things can be. How badly can something damage our sense of all the is right and orderly in our universe.
