I do enjoy a good film score ... especially in older movies for some reason. I just think a film should perhaps stand on it's own without the music as well. I'm not entirely sure tbh, gonna have to give this some thought lol.

On the other hand I do enjoy a good rock and roll soundtrack - I think the incongruity of such music with seeing someone hacked up/beaten/killed can be highly effective.

I guess like anything it depends on how it's done exactly and it can be overused like anything else.

I think it's about time to see a horror movie where the main character doesn't run up the fucking stairs. Break a window. Bust a lamp in someone's face. And if you hide under the bed you deserve to die.

Yes, stand your ground needs to be applied to horror films going forward.:cool:

Do horror movie's still utilize those cliches? I thought we wouldve gotten past that by now

Pretty sure this happened in The Purgue correct me if I'm wrong.

No you're right, i think they did all of those in that movie. A good example of why that movie sucked.

Hmm... I kind of see the logic in running upstairs. Ok, so maybe "logic" is the wrong word, but I think I get why someone would do that. I don't think it's an unrealistic reaction from someone who is acting in panic.

I was talking on FB about this the other day. Windows. It's like windows are made of solid stone or something. Bad guys rarely break a window to get inside and good guys rarely break a window to get out. It's weirding me out.

Haha, yes... that one annoys me too!

Another thing I don't get is, why would you stop your car on a dark forest road, leave the car and chase after the "boogeyman" that you just saw? I get why someone would try to defend their own home by going after "the monster"... but if you're in a car in the middle of nowhere?!

Well considering, it would be nice to see someone really think on their feet. Like run in the basement or pretend to and trip the killer down the stairs then run the hell out the back door. Also if someone is outside or even inside I think we all know by now it's better to leave your house unlocked. Why lock the door when it may be your only exit? I mean yeah it makes people feel safe but, let's get real.

I agree with the window thing. Let's not forget recently somehow every last person has no cell phone service. And cops never believe anyone until shit hits the fan.
