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...

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.

:D

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.

Good one.

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...

Aww...You took MY comment :)...But, I was gonna add something about possible growling or snarling, too...

Vodstok 08-10-2006 08:38 AM

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."

Zero 08-10-2006 09:45 AM

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*"

And when the one chick went back for the other one, that was completely lame...She would have lived if she just would have taken off while he was torturing the other one...The noisy, whiny bitch was gonna die ANYWAY, because she was just too stupid to live

Oh...Another one...

***SPOILER***

I kept yelling "Shoot him in the head, dumbass!"...When she had him on the floor...So, she couldn't get the gun to work?...It's pointed, hard metal...Shove it into his eye socket and pierce his brain...Wiggle it around and scramble 'em up a bit....Or just stomp and squash the shit out of his skull with your boots...Damn, how hard IS this shit?...lol

They BOTH deserved to die for their stupidity and ineptitude...

Wolf creek was an exercise in frustration.... and it was ALMSOT okay, until the very end when you find out that possibly NONE of it happened, and the guy in the movie may have taken 2 chicks out for a threesome and killed them because they wouldnt do it....

I also didn't like it, but I didn't think it was very boing. More "pop" or "ka-blammo".

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'.

Boing!

:cool:

:cool:

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!!

Granted, but of course by this point the killer was unconcious and the immediate threat to either of the girls' lives was gone (only temporarily, as it turned out).
