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!)

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.

This should be renamed 'The Spoiler Thread'.

Brainstorm!- New movie idea. :D

instead of bombs, we should drop horror movie villains on Iraq and Afghanistan.

OMG...That one is the WORST for me (Just ask Dustin, I'm sure he gets tired of hearing me yell at the TV screen :D)....I swear, I'm always saying "Just shut your stupid mouth and run"...Makes ME wanna kill the stupid fucking bitches...GRRRRR

Oh...And...The car NEVER starts...That's just TOO lame...I mean seriously...All of these nice, new cars (in MOST movies), and none of them start...OR how about you shoot, bump, or roll a car and it explodes?...We just spent 2 days at the Demolition Derby watching people ram the shit outta each others cars, smash 'em into concrete walls, even run over the tops of 'em, and all we got was a few small fires...NO explosions...

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...".

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.

I forgot about that. I'm watching Masters Of Horror: Homecoming right now, and that happens. It's a nice car, looks brand new, and he can't start it....If something ever happened, the HDC residents will be ready. :D

how about people falling 50 feet with an "oof!" then getting up and running. 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.
