There are a few things that I'm tired of in horror genre.
1. Overused CGI. CGI can be a big help or a big flaw in movie. I'm fine with CGI that helps a movie but sometimes it's way overused to the point of being ridiculous. Sometimes it's too obvious and done so bad that it ruins the movie for me.
2. Remakes. Many remakes are very disappointing and shouldn't even be made but there are some that I think are quite good.
3. Neverending sequels or reviving well known franchise just for the sake of reviving it or leeching off its fame. For example - Hellraiser Revelations and Children of the Corn remake. Oh I was also HIGHLY disappointed with Evil Dead remake!
4. Cliche. Like cliche characters - dumb blond, jock, the snobby popular kids that dies, the nerd, typical stoners etc. Cliche scenario.
5. Excessive nudity or unnecessary sex and scenes that have absolutely nothing to do with the film.
6. Film color correction. Urgh this annoys me to no end. I know that 'darkness' is associated with horror but come on! How come you don't turn on the lights like... ever in a movie? That's why I love classic movies, because they don't have the color correction therefore it looks natural and I think it's scarier that way.. but color correcting it until it's too dark that you can't even see a damn thing? They just rely on jumpscares and sound effect.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
