There's a movie called Mindhunters where a bunch of FBI agents are trapped on an island and have to deal with a psychotic, scheming murderer. Even though these people were supposed to be "professionals", they got killed off like flies by the most basic traps you can imagine - we're talking Home Alone traps here.

The movie currently has a 25 % approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

If your characters' intellect is going to be of no use, then why even make them smart? Should a guy be given a gun to defend himself if he never pulls the trigger?
