That's maybe the weakest horror movie clip I've seen in a long, long time.
I've been seeing a lot of euopean, usually UK-style horror, where it's supposed to be assumed that characters are so paralyzed with crippling fear that they simply cannot fight back and remain totally frozen, even though the person attacking them is usually far less physically strong.
I mean, is this the new horror trope now? The very fact that someone weak is attacking you is now terrifying because they're implacably evil? I mean, at least fight back a little bit. I mean, I get horror movies, but I don't get horror movies where you simply hate the protagonist for being super pathetic. Is this a uk thing? being pathetic on film?
I know it's really gory but I couldn't help but laugh when the emo-mask evil child was hitting the woman with a hubcap. and making that noise each time. it didn't even look like he/she was hitting her that hard. it was more humorous than anything.

Dude, even what you described would be better than what these crappy clips present...
I do not support this town.
