OK - I'll bite. There are three things that always piss me off (besides the usual crappy acting, bad effects, etc.)
1) Sudden unexplained inconsistencies- e.g., Freddy can be killed if we 'dont' believe in him' (or use our special dream powers, or bury him or whatever) and this idea works until the end when, without explanation, it doesn't work - - - WHY!???! (answer: just to keep the franchise going)
2) People doing remarkably stupid things for no real reason. Example- in Wolf Creek the first woman shoots the killer then hits him lightly twice and then leaves him lying there - HAS SHE NEVER HEARD OF VIVISECTIONING!!!!!!! Then while trying to escape she sits and watches the videotapes of other families - WHAT!!!!!!!!!!
finally, 3) I personally always cringe at those films where someone is being bullied into doing stupid things but they are unwilling or unable to fight back (that Kurt Russell film Breakdown is a good example) - these films aren't 'bad' - they just irritate me personally.
