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!!!

I Wasn't Expecting the House of the Dead Remake to Be so Short

The first time I was introduced to The House of the Dead game was through the arcade in Peter Piper Pizza. I was introduced to a later game in the franchise, House of the Dead 4. I instantly became obsessed with wanting to win, using only the pointer on my fake toy gun to take out all the zombies! 

I always lost. :D

I eventually purchased my own copy of The House of the Dead game, once it was released on the Wii. It was a collection of both the sequel and the third game. Despite how cheesy the story was portrayed, along with some hilarious voice acting; I loved the chaos I had to deal with when it came to the zombies. Both games turned out to be quite a challenge. 

The zombie bosses gave me a run for my money when it came to trying to shoot their weak points!

I wasn't expecting the zombies to be that intelligent, as they tried to avoid my pistol shots at every chance they got. Some of them would even speak to me before we fought!

I definitely got Resident Evil vibes from the undead, and I loved how brutal these zombies could be!

Then I discovered a remake was going to be released on PS5 of the original game!

I instantly purchased a copy of the game once it went on sale. Then I was surprised by one thing once I played the game:

It was really short

I'm not sure if either I almost beat the game that fast, or that the original had always been that short. I actually never played the original The House of the Dead game before, so I wasn't sure how long the story was. It was a fun game; I just wish it was a little longer. 

I had almost beaten the game in 30 minutes. 

Wow. 

I was a little impressed with myself for almost beating the game on my own, but I still got over 14 people killed. 

Go me, I guess. :D




Thank you for reading!
