I agree with CGI and it's overuse.
The Hunter ( none horror film ) is about a man who tracks what is thought to be the extinct Tasmanian Tiger... There is a very brief scene where you see a CGI Tiger and although it's obviously fake, it's not the crux of the film.. up until that point the film relied on good story telling with some nice twists... I think horror could do with learning some restraint when it comes to CGI...The one thing that really annoyed me in the early 00's was CGI gunfire... where you got a fake flame coming from the barrel of the gun and everyone's gun sounded the same.
Nudity in horror is boring, I forget which one it is but one of the wrong turn films where the naked girl gets an arrow through the breast ? I can't remember anything else about that film as it went down hill shortly after that scene.
Bath room mirror scenes annoy me... We've all seen it.. our main character looks in the mirror with nothing in the background, opens the cabinet , takes their meds and closes the panel to where they are greeted by some lunatic with an axe or some such. There have been various attempts at recreating that scene in other locations but when you've seen one, you've seen them all and it makes the film very predictable.
I also believe that what you don't see is a lot more powerful than what you do eventually see...Films that introduce the monster/ creep early doors leave very little to the imagination.
