10 Things In Horror Movies That Just Aren't Scary Anymore

Picture the scene: after surviving almost ninety minutes of hellish torture the main, and last surviving, character of the movie is speeding through the woods in a last ditch attempt to escape from whatever axe wielding murder has hacked up all her friends only to literally fall at the last hurdle - a small branch.

This is invariably a fall that renders them utterly helpless as they spend the next ten minutes crawling through the dirt. Following this epic trip is always the slow crawl away, maybe an attempt to hide behind a tree before being pulled out by the hair by a teleporting behemoth of a man.

It might be deemed necessary for drama but it's not scary any more. It's just a bit silly.

Maybe that explains why murderers are always chasing people into and through the woods. They've spent a considerable amount of time creating their own version of Ninja Warrior.
