Oh COME ON!

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.
