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 Crow 1994 is a Masterpiece of Horror Cinema

The Crow holds a special place in the hearts of horror fans. The story, the amazing acting from Brandon Lee as Eric Draven, the characters, and the soundtrack makes this film one of the best horror movies ever made. I don't normally ever say this, but have you ever seen a film with absolutely no flaws?

That is The Crow. I'm so grateful that this film has such a huge cult following. I will never forget the first time I watched this film. I instantly felt Eric Draven's anger coursing through him, as he was determined to exact revenge on the people that stole the life of his girlfriend and himself. 

It was even more heartbreaking to learn that Eric and Shelly, his girlfriend, were like another set of parents to a little girl named Sarah, who had a bad home life. It was amazing to see how Eric interacted with her again, after coming back from the dead by the crow. This is another factor to the film that makes Eric's character so special. 

Sarah's character is a way for Eric Draven to still show bits of his humanity to the audience, showing that he was once a human, with his whole life ahead of him. 

It is so satisfying to watch Eric take revenge against the people who took everything from him. These people 100% had it coming, they were one of the most evil groups you will ever watch in a film. What's worse, is that it was strongly hinted that they had taken more lives before Eric and Shelly...wow. 

Watching the final conclusion of Eric finally getting put back to rest with the love of his life was a wonderful way to end the film. From beginning to end, this movie is a great story of revenge...and how love always prevails in the end!

Rest in peace, Brandon Lee. 

Thank you for giving us a performance we will never forget!
