Question 14. What are your pet peeves about horror movies?
ZUZI W. (Illinois): The stupid characters. "No....don't open the door!!!! Look behind you!!! Grab the damn gun!!!" Are some of the many things that i am screaming at the TV.
JASON B. (Ohio): Most of them are typical slasher flicks.
MISSY B. (Texas): the stupid things directors think the movies need- the bimbo who gets killed after having sex, don't say "i'll be right back", cause you won't
KRISTOPHER B. (North Carolina): The all kill the good looking chicks first
REBECCA G. (Illinois): I hate when they are all predictable and you feel as though youve seen it before or when they are so bad that you have to make fun of them while watching to keep from being bored
BRENNA C. (Florida): When the gore is over the top and they’re just too predictable. You get to know the clichés after watching so many movies and you know most of the twists and where the jumps are and they’re just part of the horror genre but some movies, mostly the new ones, just go too far and are way too predictable. The gore is just too over the top these days. Less is more. I also don’t like when the main character patronizes the killer or is too daring. I know it’s part of the genre but sometimes it gets cheesy. There were even times in Scream and Scream 2 when I thought Neve Campbell's character went a little overboard. In real life 95% of those girls yelling ,”F you!” to the killer would be hiding under their beds, crying. But then again in real life, a guy in a ghost mask probably wouldn’t be chasing them around, trying to kill them. So like I said, it’s just part of the genre.
SAM W. (Florida): As most, stereotypical/cliche endings
GEORGIA A. (Illinois): na
MYKEL D. (Michigan): naked people
SEAN A. (Illinois): Terrible Remakes of original terrible films, or just terrible remakes.
OBERON (Iowa): Cliches.
FELIPE S. (Arkansas): bad acting and they have sex in the movie
KEVIN P. (Illinois): Immortal villains a la Jason. If there is no way to kill the main villain, then the film devolves into just tired set-ups for the cast's individual deaths.
Posted by Vampira at January 19, 2007 08:55 PMMost dont take the time to make you understand the characters unless they make you want to watch them die.
Most are short and have no real ending or plot. Why do these people kill people and why should I care if the teenage lovers die first. etc etc
