“Isn’t this how a sci-fi/horror novel begins?...”
No. Nine movies out of ten there’s a couple making out in some remote area. The woman says, “What’s that?” And the guy says, “It’s nothing.”
The tenth movie starts in some remote area with somebody dying horribly, then it goes to the couple making out.
BTW, from now on, the couple making out will be two of the same sex, or two people of different races. At which point the woman will say, “What’s that?” The partner will say, “Who give a f#ck?”
LOL, nice. :)
