I Can't Stand the Horror Trope of Slashers that Can 'Teleport'

  Credit to  Teleportation Vector Images | Depositphotos There is one horror trope that always bothers me when it comes to several horror movies.  How the hell can a slasher be in two places at once? What I mean by that is…why do horror directors sometimes ignore how a human can move? I’ve seen several horror movies that were really great, but were ruined by a killer who was able to teleport.  That doesn’t make any sense.  Unless time travel is involved, then go for it, but a human killer can’t teleport! Where does this sudden supernatural ability come from? It’s just so…stupid. So, like, does the mask or the outfit give the killer powers or what? This is a random side rant, but I felt the need to talk about this. I recently remembered a horror movie where the killer was able to be at two places at once, while he was going after two people.  Like he somehow was able to travel across the entire city in seconds to catch up to the other victim. How??? Not even science can explain this!!!

The Blair Witch Project is Getting a Remake. Why?

 


I'm sure that many horror fans of the iconic found footage film that started the genre; have heard about The Blair Witch Project getting a remake. This news upset me. Why does this film need a remake? It's eerie and amazing on its own, this film is the perfect standalone horror film. This is one of those movies that never needed to be touched. Like The Crow remake that is releasing sometime in July. 

(Why they decided to touch an already perfect film that was made in the 90s is beyond me).

Look, I do appreciate remakes of great films sometimes. If the film is given to a good director, they are able to truly create a complete reimagining of the iconic original that all horror fans love. However, some remakes are merely categorized as immediate cash grabs. The Blair Witch Project is already falling headfirst into that category. Once I found out that Blumhouse is going to be involved in the project, I lost all hope. Blumhouse has produced fantastic horror films, but lately this year, I have been very disappointed with the recent releases. 

I feel that the people behind the scenes have allowed their stories and writing to decline, the last two horror films Night Swim and Imaginary are good examples of that. Like Truth or Dare, another absolute failure from Blumhouse, it was merely another cash grab. The latest film I excuse from Blumhouse is Five Nights at Freddy's. I'm aware that horror fans weren't a fan of this particular film, but I have to give credit to the writers for that one. 

The animatronics were fantastic, (thank you Jim Henson), and the story overall wasn't that bad. The kills were pretty neat too. I think the only issue I had with the movie was the use of Vanny's character, I won't explain too much because of spoilers, but I can see why fans an issue with that aspect of the film. 

Despite Blumhouse's great success with that videogame franchise, The Blair Witch Project should never be touched at all. It's one of those films that should be left alone. The film has been a cult classic since the day it was released! It does not need a remake. I honestly hope the remake gets canceled during production. I'm already concluding that this movie is going to suck. If the other two sequels were complete trash, then the remake is going to be tossed along with the sequels straight into the trashcan. 

Thank you Blumhouse for forcing another cash grab upon your horror fans. 

I will repeat once again: THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT DOES NOT NEED A REMAKE!


Thank you for reading! Sorry for all the ramblings, I'm pretty upset over this remake...
