Sudden volume blasts to get a pointless jump scare.
Overused violence and gore that does not propel the story.
Defining monsters and bad guys too well makes them not scary anymore.
Quick cuts and shaky cameras. I am watching a movie, I want to see it.
Mashup monsters like the current rage on sci-fi/syfy.

- Christopher M. Jimenez, SINFUL CELLULOID
"A wonderfully twisted spin on a beloved tale. It was sick and gruesome and I absolutely loved it. A breath of fresh air for the horror genre."
- Jesse Miller, MORE HORROR
