Dusk til dawn gave themselves an out, but its still a cop out. The vampires were mindless. its like the creatures are from theoriginal Doom, they just run at the victims until killed. At least in Dog Soldeirs, the werewolves would get hurt and back off.

Zombies are mindless by nature, so of course they dont know to run.

Vampires were initially established as one thing, but it's too hard to make them cerebral, so they just turn them into, like i said, bloodsucking zombies. Not to mention, you get a scratch from one, and in 2 minutes, you are a one too...

I don't think the vampires in From Dusk 'Till Dawn were meant to be anything more than disposable, interchangeable creatures put in the bar to provide the fun twist at the end of the film. If each one of them had 'issues', and came across all European and Seductive while whining about their 'lost loves'... I don't think it would have worked.

Better to wade through and easily impale them on table leg, pool cue and pencil.

:D

I hate hearing characters ask "Who's there?" when they hear a sound. Like the psycho killer is going to say, "Oh, it's just your friendly neighborhood weirdo with my great big chainsaw."

I also hate this scenario: Ralph leaves Debbie to investigate a strange noise (maybe in the basement, Bloodrayne:)). The crazed killer (who bears no resemblance whatsoever to Ralph) comes in the room, and Debbie asks, "Ralph, is that you?" Hell no it's not Ralph. Ralph's 4'7" and this guy's 6'10." And the fact Ralph doesn't normally carry chainsaws should clue you in too.

Good one.

Plus, when was the last time anyone left a room, and then came back a quiet heavy breather?

"oh, you're so kinky..."

Most women i know would say "What the hell? are you on something? why are you breathing like that?"

Ive never understood the "last stand" type characters... "I'm tired of running, Im going to stand and fight!" Like Billy in Predator. You know what? Good. 'Cause when he i sbusy gutting oyur ass, i can put some more distance between me and him. Jerkoff...

The closest thing i can think of to how i think that situation would actually play out was when joe hotwires the truck in Dog Soldiers. You hear the breathing and he says "You're back there, arent you?"


that was "I acknowledge the scary monster that is going to kill me is behind me."

HaHa...That's EXACTLY what I said :D...That was just stupid


***SPOILER***




And when the one chick went back for the other one, that was completely lame...She would have lived if she just would have taken off while he was torturing the other one...The noisy, whiny bitch was gonna die ANYWAY, because she was just too stupid to live
