What KILLS a horror film?

I just wanted to say, once again, that CGI SUCKS!!!! I hate it with a passion. CGI is what made "The Hulk" a total flop!!! Sorry, but some fucking computer animation is no replacement for Lou Ferrigno!!! What is the point of making a horror film if you are too damned lazy to use prosthetics for your FX? They need to keep CGI the fuck out of movies. I'm sick of it, it looks stupid and fake, no matter how much money they spend on it. I think that a great deal of creativity is lost when filmmakers start employing the services of digital effects.

I think CGI can be good if done effectively, such as Lord of the Rings. But i agree with the whole Hulk issue. A waste of a great comic character. I hate Ang Lee!

I noticed a few people saying about the old moral in horror movies like if you smoke you die, if you have sex you die.All those moral in horror movies are over exagerated, Alice in Friday the 13th (original) she played strip poker (all though she didnt get naked) and she survived.In the original TCM when did it ever state that Sally was a virgin and didnt drink?Neva Cambel slept with someone with Scream and she survived 3 films.

To be truthful i cant think of one horror movie when the rules and morals are used, not just refered to used.

- annoying teenagers.
if Kirsty or Nancy kicks some bad guys ass, it's ok, but the teenagers today, like those bastards in FvJ, they just should be slaugtered

- Bad music choices.
instrumantal works allways. the mood is totally ruined, when they start playing Marilyn Manson and Korn in the background

I have never been scared by a boob or a bare ass in my entire life...I want to hear screaming, not moaning...and, this too already has it's own genre...If I want to see nudity and sex, I will watch a porno (never happen):rolleyes:

I have. Oh my god have I. . .*crrriinnggee!*

But that was in my own life. I haven't been scared by an on-screen nude scene. And as for porn in horror? Whore and gore, I adore them both. But if you're going to have characters having sex, have them die, too. Particularly in the middle of "the act". That would be great. Here is Bobby, finally getting some from SuperVirgin! Susie . . . and mister murder man comes with his axe and he takes a big chunk of of Susie's head. And Bobby didn't even reach peak!

Yuuummm.

Man, now that you say something, that does sound so familiar. Maybe that's why I thought of it.

My answer would be... the end.

So very often a film will just get a natural pulse to it and you think its going to get better and... pop!

I can recall a few stinkers. I collect B movies, btw. As well as many of the other early silents and talkies that led the genre on film. Much of it really great stuff.

"Horror at Party Beach" ...anybody ever seen it? Heh, heh...
