Ok, there are things out ther ein horror movies that i dont care how big a fan you are, they just get old and annoying after a while. please share your own as much as you can.
Firstly. What an amzing coincidence that in every werewolf movie, there just happnes to be a sliver SOMETHING capable of killing it. Dog Soldiers is semi guilty, but at least they gave a reason for the silver knife, and 90% of the werewolves were blown up.
Zombie movie issue. i have been plagued by this since the beginning of my love of zombie flicks. Rednecks spend a lot of time hunting. Police people (swat included) and military personel are trained with guns. maybe 1 out of every 4 people has enough experience with a gun to make good, accurate shots. Why then is everyone in your averag zombie movie a marksman that can pop a human being in the dead center of their forehead from across a football field while running?
Vampires are immortal, powerful, intelligent creatures. So why are all of them (except Dracula) in every movie basically blood sucking zombies that can be killed by a poke to the chest? My #1 gripe with From Dusk Til Dawn and Buffy the show were what kind of threat is a vampire that can be killed by flicking a toothpick at it?
Why, why, WHY doesnt anyone go apeshit on the badguy?The "hero" slaps the villain with a baseball bat and assumes they are dead. beat him until his head is mushy and has lost it's shape! Then he is dead! i garuntee it!
28 Days later got that one right. Jim brutalized and killed that bastard at the end. THATS how it's done. Go all crazy lowland gorilla on them and pound or shoot them until their corpse doesnt look like it could ever move.

agreed on the first one I thought that Romero's Dawn of the Dead did a good job with that - the swat members were good shots, but the other two had to be trained to shoot. . . the remake made it out that everyone could fire while running and hit the head everytime (and as a person who has fired many a handgun and rifel all I can say is . . .no no no freakin way)
On the second point, that was my biggest gripe about the otherwise very strong Wolf Creek - she knocks him out, hits him once (lightly) with a board and then runs away - - - after seeing his hanging corpses and her friend tied up to be next. . .hell no - you go ape on him (and as a monkey I can say that!)

I think in many cases, if too much logic and reality is allowed to creep into horror and fantasy movies then the excitement is lost and there would be no movie.
In Wolf Creek, had the girls further shot the baddie in his lair or smashed his head in with heavy objects and killed him... no more tension.
Tom Savini's character 'Sex Machine' explains the situation with the vampires in From Dusk 'Till Dawn: "These vamps... they're strong, but they have soft bodies...".

That's the one thing I liked about Curse of Michael Myers. Paul Rudd and the rest of them are all walking away, Rudd shakes his head, turns and just beats the SHIT out of Michael's head with the led pipe.

No kidding. i fucking blew up at that part.... I know that itis convenient to do that to keep the movie going, but... Its a cop out. Make smarter bad guys. That is one area where i liked Hostel, when Paxton got loose, he just killed them. he didnt tap them on the head and leave them, he shot them. plain and simple.

Tom Savini's character 'Sex Machine' explains the situation with the vampires in From Dusk 'Till Dawn: "These vamps... they're strong, but they have soft bodies...". Dusk til dawn gave themselves an out, but its still a cop out. The vampires were mindless. its like the creatures are from theoriginal Doom, they just run at the victims until killed. At least in Dog Soldeirs, the werewolves would get hurt and back off.
Zombies are mindless by nature, so of course they dont know to run.
Vampires were initially established as one thing, but it's too hard to make them cerebral, so they just turn them into, like i said, bloodsucking zombies. Not to mention, you get a scratch from one, and in 2 minutes, you are a one too...:rolleyes:
its taking the easy way out. The writers have a habit of painting themselv3es into a corner, then bullshitting their way out. It's not a technique i use, and i dont respect it.

Ive known people who fell 6 feet out of a tree and broke a limb...
And thisone kills me... 2 weeks ago, i cut my finger pretty deep. I went so far as to get light headed and sick to my stomach at one point and i am EXTREMELY tough. ive had to call 911 for myself 3 times in my life), but in the new Hills have eyes (on eof 2 gripes with it) and hostel, there are characters that lose several fingers, and are "all good" whithin minutes.
That is one thing Wolf Creek got right. that girl lost her fingers and flipped the fuck out.

They actually did that in Jeepers Creepers.
The guy asks "Is it dead?" and the girl responds "they never are" or something like that, and proceeds to run over the creature repeatedly. It was pretty funny.
two films i liked in this regard - Scream- esp. where Sidney says she hates horror films because the stupid blondes always run upstairs when they should run out the door and then can't get out the front door and has to run upstairs.
i also liked high tension (ignoring for a moment the trick ending) where she does, indeed, hide without screaming

That is part of the reason i liked that movie. At least they TRIED.
the new Hills Have eyes screwed up with this at one point (the shotgun, lizard... i woudl have put it in his mouth and pulled the trigger....), but whe jupiter was grabbing at the boy... what his sister did was great. None of this "eek, what do we do?" crap... Screaming pickaxe to the head. Good girl.

I don't think the vampires in From Dusk 'Till Dawn were meant to be anything more than disposable, interchangeable creatures put in the bar to provide the fun twist at the end of the film. If each one of them had 'issues', and came across all European and Seductive while whining about their 'lost loves'... I don't think it would have worked.
Better to wade through and easily impale them on table leg, pool cue and pencil.

I hate hearing characters ask "Who's there?" when they hear a sound. Like the psycho killer is going to say, "Oh, it's just your friendly neighborhood weirdo with my great big chainsaw."
I also hate this scenario: Ralph leaves Debbie to investigate a strange noise (maybe in the basement, Bloodrayne:)). The crazed killer (who bears no resemblance whatsoever to Ralph) comes in the room, and Debbie asks, "Ralph, is that you?" Hell no it's not Ralph. Ralph's 4'7" and this guy's 6'10." And the fact Ralph doesn't normally carry chainsaws should clue you in too.

Plus, when was the last time anyone left a room, and then came back a quiet heavy breather?
"oh, you're so kinky..."
Most women i know would say "What the hell? are you on something? why are you breathing like that?"
Ive never understood the "last stand" type characters... "I'm tired of running, Im going to stand and fight!" Like Billy in Predator. You know what? Good. 'Cause when he i sbusy gutting oyur ass, i can put some more distance between me and him. Jerkoff...

The closest thing i can think of to how i think that situation would actually play out was when joe hotwires the truck in Dog Soldiers. You hear the breathing and he says "You're back there, arent you?"
that was "I acknowledge the scary monster that is going to kill me is behind me."
and there is always some kid who says - "there's a monster under my bed" and some stupid adult says "oh billy, there's no such thing as mon. ARRGHHHHH MY ARM OH MY GOD ARRGHHH *splat*"

But it's the kind of movie that bounces back, so all is cool.
Critics of the key events should note that the girls did not have an inkling of where they were out in The Bush in the darkness, and were correct in that the killer did pursue them (and at a greater speed than they could get away - how much fuel was in their truck?). His wasn't killed as he lay unconcious because neither of the girls were killers (no matter how much stress they were under) and they figured at that point the guy was at least out of action - escape is the priority, taking a life under any circumstances is a huge decision.
The 'boring bits' between kills is probably better called 'narrative'.

don't get me wrong - i enjoyed the film and thought it was well done and well-paced. . . but the decision to graze the killer, hit him with a board and then run away seemed insane to me - at least tie him up, break a leg, fling dung at him . . . . something!!
