That’s right, I HATE it. At least 90% of American horror films I have seen are silly, repetitive, unoriginal, not scary, and they all have the same premise, plot, and identical story lines.
For EXAMPLE, most American horror movies are almost always about some stupid group of teenagers who either go on a lame road trip , camp site, spring break, little getaway, some kind of volunteer work overseas, spend the night in a stupid mansion, only to be stalked by some crazed maniac and/or monster(s) whom hunt them down one by one.
This monster runs rampant and makes new assholes out of all the masculine-tough males, police officers, Marine, Jesus himself, but, somehow CANNOT defeat some STUPID, FUCKING, BLONDE, NUMBNUT OF A WHITE GIRL. This monster gets his ass beat left and right by much tougher opposition, but ends up getting beat by a White girl with some stupid lame push of a button.
The white girl is the sole survivor, and runs off crying to authority, or riding her ass home in her dead friends car. If its not that, its always something VERY similar to that.
Where’s the originality? Then the movies that try to be different suck blue-balls. They end up being too draggy (I.E. Saw) and think they are hip by showing some “gruesome” scenes. The scenes are never really to gruesome, because they never really show the person being killed (as in European horror movies). Then of course they add in stupid heavy-metal soundtracks to make it sound “edgy”. Whatever.
Then, they are the dreaded horror movie remakes. I’ll get back to remakes of movies as a whole on another thread.
Also, another stupid cliché in American horror films happens to be about some STUUUUUUUUPID fucking lame rich family who has a son and/or daughter whom have “mystical” powers or some 6th sense to read or sense ghost. Then the child is drawing something “disturbing” and says something like “I talk to my ghostly, ghastly friends” and the parent gets all concerned, and whatever is in the child’s despicable drawing comes to life in some way, shape or form, and the family battles demons, yeah, yeah you get the picture, and know what stupid cliché premise I am trying to explain.
Now don’t get me wrong, these ideas were okay to use a few times in the 80’s and between the mid and late 90’s, but I WANT TO believe that most of us want horror films which are unique, fresh, and different. NOT saying there isn’t, because there is.
I have had my share of some innovative, original, scary, American horror flicks. Unfortunately most of these movies were independent films, or they were too different for most of the lame-ass audiences like yourself.
Hell, I might have wasted my time posting, because, its too bad that 85% of you run to see the next “See No Evil” film with the same shit you have seen in almost every other movie.
Anyway, give me your thoughts.
