...is that you're supposed to suspend disbelief. That means to put yourself in the movie. Get absorbed in it.
A lot of people stay rigid & critical of a flick and want the movie to entertain them completely instead of helping the movie help entertain you.
With horror films, they try to tap into the deepest/darkest part of our minds to try & scare us. What we have there - combined w/absorbing ourselves in the movie - depends on if a horror film scares us.
