Quote from Gavel

That reminds me, scenes after the credits that reveal to you that the bad guy isn't really dead. Also resulting in sequels.

Only if there is interest in a sequel.

See: Street Fighter ending.

Yeah, that's true.

Words. Yeah, words. You know, the beginning of a movie, there is a definition, or some scrolling story. Then, at the end, before the credits, it has all of that "Ephram went on to cure mental retardation" and the like.

Also "Let's get outta here!"


If the hero listens to his answering machine and one important message is unexpected then he usually has two very short messages on the tape before, one spoken by a man, one by a women. "Here's John! I see you tomorrow at eight.".... beep ... "This is Sallieeeeee! I'll call again later." ... beep .... and then finally "Ahhhh! The killer is .....". If however the message is expected be sure that it will be the first one on the tape.

turn on tv
commercial/show/news report instantly starts
turn off tv right when it ends

"We should split up."

"I'll go check it out."

Something makes a noise, like a trashcan shook or something fell.

Character slowly walks over to whatever made noise, and it goes first person and the camera slowly pans over to whatever it was

It was a rat/cat/animal

Character gets relieved and sighs

BONUS!

Sometimes, something WILL happen right after

Horror movies at their finest.

"It's a dud."

I hate when they run like hell and the killer always know where they are.

Also I hate when movies have scenes that make no sense. except on Quentin Tarentino movies. That guy is a genius at creating chitchat.

"Based on a true story."

"Inspired by a true story."

These are two completely different statements, which is annoying. Based on a true story means most of what you see actually happened with little imbellishment. Inspired by a true story means anything from most of what you see happened to absolutely none of what you see happened and what actually happened made us (the movie creators) think of the stuff you are seeing.

Or better yet, when a character here's a noise and yells out "Who's there?" I never got that. 1) Why would you reveal your location to the crazy axe murderer in the shadows. I mean, sure, he'll eventually find you, but most people wouldn't want to make it any easier. 2) What do you expect the psychotic maniac to just chime in and say "Oh it's just me The Faceless Serial Killer. I just got done brutally murdering a couple defenseless teams consummating their relationship in the middle of the woods and thought I'd stop by for a free-be.

Which reminds me of another one. Horror movies that start out with a couple teens just being teens having fun only to run into the maniac or the monster, thus introducing the maniac/monster to the audience. Then the opening title shows.

Quote from Real

"It's a dud."

Pearl Harbor

In horror movies like Quarintine, where everyone is absolutely scared shitless they can't even move, but then like a second later when they hear a monster grunting or something one person is like "Hmmm what was that, I'll just go over into that dark corner and find out." without fear of the possible consequences.

I ****ing hate when every single hero is saved from a monster when something falls and makes nois behind it.

Like:
"Well this is it, I'm going to die!
Monster: GAAAAAAAHRGH
*something makes noise behind the monster*
*monster turns*
*monster ignores and turns back to the hero*
*hero is gone*



Also I hate when superheroes have all this crazy abilities and never use it to get away from difficult situations.

Villains always know heroes weakness(es). Heroes always need to figure out villains weakness(es).

"Well, it's time to end this"
*cocks gun*
