Resolved Question

Why do we talk aloud during a movie (mostly when watching a scary movie) to the character(s)?

In other words: Why do we get so wrapped up in a movie we put ourselves in it by talking to the character(s)?

I can only speak for myself but, I just like to add my input and most of the time since I'm not overly loud the audience around me laughs at what I say. Also I think we don't know that what we say won't help. For example I was watching The Strangers in theaters and happened to say watch out he's around the corner and the person in front of me said girl she can't hear you! I never thought about it that way haha could just be me though...

I think we'd talk to the character and advise them to distance ourselves from identifying with them. We're not them, we wouldn't make those choices, and we don't want to empathize with the machete-related repercussions we know is coming for them.

Because the people in horror movies tend to be retarded.
