Things that bug you the most in a Horror movie..

For me It's when they run upstairs. And when they scream or cry loud when there hiding. Why don't they just say here I am Kill me!! God Just shut the fuck up!!

Yay! She's back :)

what i hate:

Tking down the badguy with a half-assed attempt at injuring/killing them (usually something that wouldnt incapacitate a normal person...) and the Turning their fucking back on them, assuming they are dead.

In my horror movie, when Michael Meyers gets knocked down and lays there, Jamie Lee Curtis cuts his fucking head off and tosses it out the window. No sitting up menacingly at the end and disappearing.

Oh there's another one I hate............. When they try to fit through something that's to small. Like in SCREAM when she gets stuck half way through the doggy door in the garage!! LOL DUMB ASS!!

I hate it in hollywood horrors when the bloody makers decide that they have to explain every fuckin thing about the bad guy / monster to the point that it isn't scary any more.

Why cant somethin exist just because it does??

Because they take film critics to heart rather than the viewing public, and a great number of critics want to know why.

I try very hard to only explain things that need explaining in the stories i write. Maybe i'll get to make movies someday....

I agree with you 100% on this... Part of the beauty of Alien and Predator were that you dont know where they are from or what they want, they are just there and people die.

Oddly enough, Scream said it best when Skeet Ulrich mentions that its scarier when you dont know why.

Fear of the Unknown, the oldest and most powerful fear there is.

Something else i hate: When atmosphere and story take the back seat to gore. Gore isnt scary, its gross. Its only acceptable when it's obvious that scary wasnt the goal, IE, Dead alive(aka Braindead)

i hate all of the cliches where people do crap and things dont work as they would in normal life situations because they are needed to build up 'suspense'

it's just lazy cheap ass filmmaking. a talented writer/filmmaker knows how to build up suspense by keeping things believable and tense .. without resorting to worn old cliches.

unfortunately in the genre of horror ..there are very few decent filmmakers - most of them are pathetic hacks.
