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!!!

Visuals in Horror Movies Are So Beautiful and Uncanny

 


There is one element in horror movies I truly appreciate. 

I adore beautiful imagery. Visuals in horror films add a certain different kind of emotion to the film itself. The images presented to the viewer can either be eerie and graceful, like watching a ballerina dancing, while slowly bleeding to death.

(If you don’t get the reference, I’m referring to Black Swan. The visuals in that movie were phenomenal)!

Beautiful moments in horror films stay with me so much more than your typical old-school slasher that horror fans love. I love watching absolute brutality in slow motion.

It gives the viewer the chance to analyze every single moment taking place, feeling a mix of emotions about what is happening during the film.

The horror fan within me loves every single second of these shots in horror films, and I have quite a huge list of movies that became my favorites.

I would name each of them, but there are too many to mention, and it would probably fill up about fifty pages on this blog post. :D


Thank you for reading!
