Horror movie themes that make me mad
Number one on my list, Jason. How hard can it be to get him to walk into a cement pool and when he's flailing around in it just poor more on top of him and let it dry and drop that in the middle of the ocean, problem solved. Same with Jeepers Creepers/Michael Meyers and Chucky. WTF, how hard can that be? It just gets me so irratated. What are your opinions?

I love this thread. First off, I had to say that.
Second, your idea about how to stop all supernatural monster maniacs is great. It would work. We should do it.

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.

Dude.....it doesn't matter. It's a movie! You go in to a horror movie, buy your popcorn, sit down, and have fun. I'm not about to criticize all horror movies because they don't encase the maniac monster in a swimming pool full of cement.
However, your insane idea to fill a swimming pool full of cement is clever and very entertaining, and I like it! It's like a fever dream. If somebody did that in a movie, I would go and see the movie, just because the idea sounds so crazy.

yeah, but where would one get a swimming pool full of wet cement on such short notice?

People need escape valves, they need to be in control and sure about everything.
Therefore, in films such as The Blair Witch Project, detractors are reduced to saying "they wouldn't have thrown away the map", "they could have followed the sun" etc. etc. because such is the film's raw suggestive power, conceited viewers desperately try to find a way out through their own sense of logic. Which is of course a testament to the impressive impact of this piece of work.
