How would horror movies like The Grudge go?
One of the lures of horror movies is that protagonists can't fight against the evil and either rising up to the challenge or falling to the horrors. Evil Dead would be rather boring if the merry bunch was heavily armed badasses and Braindead would be a damn short movie if Lionel dealt with his mother decisively the moment she turned into zombie.
They would react the same way baddies always react when violence is visited upon them either by adapting and escalating, or complain about unfairness.How would the horror movie monsters react though?
The monsters are predators, they will only go after easy prey. If someone can fight back, the spooks will stick to the shadows and refuse to materialize.How would the horror movie monsters react though?
Good horror movies work with the characters not being stupid/unprepared.One of the lures of horror movies is that protagonists can't fight against the evil and either rising up to the challenge or falling to the horrors.

However the Army of Darkness was the third movie in the series, which Ash started as a bumbling fool and only through great personal loss did he grew into bumbling badass. If everyone in the cabin in the Evil Dead was a badass monster hunter, then it would have ended in the first movie.except both the appeal of both Doom & the army of Darkness is that Neither protagonist is stupid and both can laugh at the face of danger.
