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.

agreed on the first one I thought that Romero's Dawn of the Dead did a good job with that - the swat members were good shots, but the other two had to be trained to shoot. . . the remake made it out that everyone could fire while running and hit the head everytime (and as a person who has fired many a handgun and rifel all I can say is . . .no no no freakin way)

On the second point, that was my biggest gripe about the otherwise very strong Wolf Creek - she knocks him out, hits him once (lightly) with a board and then runs away - - - after seeing his hanging corpses and her friend tied up to be next. . .hell no - you go ape on him (and as a monkey I can say that!)

I agree with all, and the last one the most. I mean, to hell with letting Michael Myers get back up. He may be immortal, but without a head, he can't do shit!

I think in many cases, if too much logic and reality is allowed to creep into horror and fantasy movies then the excitement is lost and there would be no movie.

In Wolf Creek, had the girls further shot the baddie in his lair or smashed his head in with heavy objects and killed him... no more tension.

Tom Savini's character 'Sex Machine' explains the situation with the vampires in From Dusk 'Till Dawn: "These vamps... they're strong, but they have soft bodies...".

That's the one thing I liked about Curse of Michael Myers. Paul Rudd and the rest of them are all walking away, Rudd shakes his head, turns and just beats the SHIT out of Michael's head with the led pipe.
