As far as Jack Torrence goes, it's worth pointing out that the Overlook wanted him to kill Danny. That was the hotel's priority - and Jack returning alive or not wasn't the Overlook's concern. They had broken Jack to the point that he wasn't really in any condition to make a sane decision, so going after Danny was something he had to do.
Of course it wasn't a concern. Jack's the caretaker. He's always been the caretaker and always will be.
So it hired him for a job it had to do itself bout 30 years later? So instead of helping him finish the job by u know not letting Jack die and not risk getting burned dwn 30 years later, his survival was of no concern, thts dumb and the more u dig into the shining u see how dumb and overrated it is like anything Nicholson outside of The Departed
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309 The Hotel didn't hire him. He's always been the caretaker.
@@Bluesit32 thts stupid....either way it used him for sumn tht it didn't help him achieve and didn't even succeed in doing 30 years later.....again the more this movie gets explained the dumber it gets bcuz Kubrick thought he was more creative than King
excellent reply!.......it's about the only thing that Kubrick took from King's narrative.
I'd say another good addition to this list would be M. Night Shamalan's Signs because the aliens didn't research the fact that Earth was 70% covered with their lethal weakness: water.
and let's also not forget about the pantry doors that these aliens don't like.
That is way more stupid than #1
I know that’s a classic complaint about Signs, but consider: humans go into dangerous environs for precious resources all the time. Mines, deep sea, space… the movie clearly establishes the aliens did their best to avoid water, and that they were there for humans specifically. Besides, we never get a full explanation of their society or anything, so with so many unknowns, I don’t think that’s the plot hole it’s been made out to be.
@@chessenthusiast yes, but humans do not go butt-naked or without a plan to those places.
I got it! Without their heads, they're powerless!
I would put Pamela Voorhees on this list. She actually makes several dumb decisions that lead to her downfall. Up until the final confrontation with Alice, Pamela had either ambushed her victims, killed them while remaining unseen, or got them to drop their guard and surprised them. With Alice she goes into her story about Jason, makes it very obvious to Alice that she was the killer, slowly pulls out the knife while a distance away from Alice and then gave Alice the chance to grab the fire poker before deciding to charge at Alice. Later during the chase, instead of using a weapon she decides to slap Alice around and eventually gives Alice a chance to fight back and escape yet again. Lastly, when Alice is on her knees by the canoe at the lake, instead of going in for a swift kill, Pamela moves slowly towards Alice until her reflection appears in the water; alerting Alice to her presence. Instead of immediately attacking, she waits until Alice stands up and then rears back for a big swing to break the oar that Alice had picked up in time before Pamela finally attempted to attack. Had Pamela either not made her intentions so obvious before her initial attempt to kill Alice, not let her get as much distance initially, or had a weapon when she caught up to her at the maintenance shack, Alice might have just ended up as another victim instead of surviving as the final girl.
I would chalk this one up to possibly her insanity and maybe a bit of overconfidence. She'd taken everybody else out before this and might not have seen Alice as much of a threat. She was probably observing everyone throughout the film, not just what we saw, and could have thought that Alice would be an easy kill
What I want to know is how did the camp and Pamela not notice the giant man with a bag over his head that was close enough to see Pamela's death
I would say Billy from Scream messed himself up doing that final jump scare at the end of Scream 1996. Haha, It's like, he heard Randy say "This is the moment when the supposedly dead killer comes back to life, for one last scare" and because he's such a major horror movie fan, he just had to commit to scare them but instead gets a bullet to the head. I think if he didn't do that, he would still be alive but in jail or he could've snuck out when no one was looking.
You forgot Benny in the Mummy.
The fact he awoke Imhotep and chose to stay in his greed only to be eaten alive by a swarm of scarabs.
Benny didn't wake him, but he did choose to serve him and yes his greed was his undoing
He didn't wake Imhotep up. That was Evelyn reading from the book of the dead. As for staying. Imhotep was about to kill him. It was either serve or die.
@@CosmicGoku529 Would've picked death. His annoyance didn't belong in the film and looked like he was better off dying in the first few minutes.
@@CosmicGoku529 He could've just as easily made to escape at the earliest opportunity. The mummy didn't have any magic forcing him to serve or any other way of compelling him to stay against his will.
Bye, Benny
9:11 I think what's truly terrifying about the Ghostface legacy is how easily it can corrupt anyone and bring out the ugly side of one's humanity. It makes ambers disfigurement that much more tragic because her soul was already made ugly by her choice to follow in this legacy. Billy Loomis really left one hell of a mark on the world. A bloody one.
I think there was a cut scene in Aliens where they find out Burke did survive the alien attack but was impregnated by a face hugger. Fun bit of irony, wouldn't you say?
It was in the special edition and the book.
The Hotel wanted Danny. He was the only one that mattered. As for how Jack intended to get out after killing Danny...just follow his footprints back to the exit? Pretty sure that was how Danny got out.
The storm picked up and buried the tracks me thinks
Re War of the Worlds, they stuck to Wells' original ending. When he wrote it in the 1890s, Germ Theory was still a relatively new concept (c.20-35 years old), and many people were still uneducated about its true nature. Hence WotW actually helped promote understanding of microscopic life and what effect it could have on creatures regardless of how advanced they might consider themselves.
Victorian age Europe & USA, and connected countries, were still of the opinion that they "knew best" - in many cases members of these regions still are... - and Wells used this to bring some light onto a subject more people had heard of than understood. This is still true today. So to change the ending would be to do Wells a disservice, and would have missed the opportunity to reinforce that area of science in the minds of those who didn't pay attention to biology class.
Excellent comment.
4:11 cecilia never feels like "a great weight is lifted" after adrian's supposed suicide. she knows he would never take his own life which is what has her so on edge and paranoid that he's stalking her with his invisibility suit even while everyone else is telling her she's crazy and he's gone.
That whole entry felt wrong 😅
Jill in Scream 4 definitely got herself offed. Like girl, just be quiet 😂
I think they are all blinded by rage, lol.
@@mightybitchy I would have to agree
If you mean about sharing a wound with Gale, that whine scene was pure idiocy. Gale was stabbed at a party, in front of people. Even if they didn't see that part, they all ran out past her as Dewey was putting pressure on her shoulder. "Matching wounds" being the gotcha moment was just bad writing.
Burke (Aliens) wasn’t ripped apart, he was captured and impregnated by a facehugger. Ripley finds him on her way to rescue Newt and gives him a grenade as a consolation prize 😂.
Ripley said that the xenomorphs weren't from the same planet, she had a whole scene where she *explicitly* says she didn't believe that they were native.
A very good list! I would add:
1. The Wishmaster. He was doing a very good job of bringing theJinn into the world-until it occurred to him to advise Alexandra to"word her wishes carefully"knowing full well that he was obligated to grant them. Alexandra remembers the newspaper report of the day the gem was released,and wishes that the operator never dropped it. That locked him up again.
She was even smarter than that. She knew that the genie would have twisted her wish if she simply asked that the accident never happened. Instead, she set up a grandfather paradox by wishing that the worker responsible for the original accident hadn't been drinking that day. Since the Wishmaster didn't make the connection, he simply granted the wish and screwed himself.
Her being smart isn't a mistake on his part just for saying that.
@@zydration3538 His underestimating her intelligence could be. Remember earlier, when he was posing as the professor, he seemed to be toying with her, patronizing her at times. He probably didn't think any human, especially any in the modern day, could overcome him
@@TuxKamen if underestimating their foe qualifies, this should be a top 1000 list at least.
He's pretty much Calypso from the Twisted Metal games
4:33 Interesting bit of trivia about the actress who portrays Cecilia in the invisible Man. Elizabeth Moss was once a child actress who had a guest role on an episode of Batman The Animated Series. I cant remember the episode but she voiced the daughter of a man who wore an invisible plastic suit to both continue a life of crime and pretend to be her imaginary friend due to her mother forbidding him to be in her life.
The episode you are trying to remember is called " See No Evil".
@@suzannerider9460 yeah, the episode when the "witnesses" thought Batman flew like Superman.
That's not what "incorporeal" means. If he was incorporeal, she couldn't shoot him. Invisible and incorporeal are not even close to the same thing.
2:53 - I'm not sure I agree with +WhatCultureHorror here. Psychopaths are known to slip up on occasions when their obsessions catch up with them. In Buffalo Bill's case, his obsession was toying with his victims. It got to him so hard that he forgot to cock his gun beforehand. This is quite real, and in many cases, such slip-ups are what put psychopaths behind bars, or in the ground!
I'll have to say Amanda in Saw 3. Not only are you literally being tested by your mentor (the OG Jigsaw) not to kill the doctor keeping him alive but killing the doctor in front of her husband (Jeff) gets both herself and John Kramer shot to death!
I don't know if Amanda realized the relationship between Jeff and his wife, but John picks victims with ideas in mind ahead of time, not just random doctors!
Hoffman was the mastermind behind this. He told Amanda that if she didn't kill the doctor, Hoffman would tell OG Jigsaw a bad secret.
In her mind, she was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
@@seankulbeth9614 True but considering the situation she was put in in thefirst place (with the Reverse Bear-trap) - I think she would have logically assumed that John knew that and considered her (at least somewhat) reformed.
Sure, dead babies are a tough thing to get past but, at that point, I even doubt John would kill her intentional over that whole situation consider he was going to die via cancer anyway. And since Cycil onkly got the knife chair and survived that (only to launch himself into another trap to try to kill John) - that seems reasonable.
So, either Amanda judgement is way too clouded by guilt or she also just wanted to kill that doctor too much either way and used Hoffman as an excuse there.
Kaufman's death was actually understandable, since he was "upper class", never having to deal with the undead on a day to day basis. So his inexperience became his downfall.
That's a good point
Cholo was actually still alive when he entered the garage, he went full zombie after getting shot
The dumbest villain mistake is the bad guy in ghost rider. He couldn’t be hurt because he didn’t have a soul proceeds to ingest hundreds of souls and then swiftly killed.
I guess the Martians are no different than humans who try to travel where the atmosphere is different i.e. Mt. Everest and thinking the trek won't be that difficult.
Does anyone else think the picture of Jack frozen in the snow is hilarious? I mean, that expression is just absurd! It makes me giggle every time.
The aliens in War of the Worlds are genius compared to the ones in Signs. How do you invade a planet that's 70% something that could end you...as soon as it rained they would have all died...or even if they landed in the ocean.
the whole maze situation in The Shining was a creation of Kubrick, the maze isn't even in the novel. That's one time a director destroyed an excellent storyline, thinking they just wanted to make it "more exciting" but not thinking about how audiences would see it as nonsensical.
Also Burke was getting the xenomorph for The Company, it wasn't him just trying to make a quick buck. You saw later in Aliens 3 that The Company sent yet another team to try and get the xenomorph they knew was in Ripley.
I prefer the ending in the book and the mini series.
So did Stephen King.
@@denisebacher5040 Agreed. The book/mini-series ending gave the dad redemption and wasn't showing him evil in the end. Jack in the movie seemed more than happy to murder his wife and kid. I really hated the Kubrick version of the movie, but seems I'm in the minority with my opinion
Personally I'd put these psychic skills towards something more useful.
@@zydration3538 no idea what you're talking about. Kubrick and King have spoken extensively about the changes made so what "psychic" abilities are you going on about?
In the novel War of the Worlds it was explained that the Martians eliminated pathogens millennia ago. They simply didn't know about microscopic parasites anymore.
Burke wasn’t “trying to make a quick buck”. He was following company directives. Like Ash in the first movie and Vickers in Prometheus.
Oh and about the Martians in War of the Worlds that very well COULD HAVE been a small contingent of their Army.
How disturbing would it be that they didn’t send ALL of their ships and they learned from the bacteria problem?
It's almost like they made a tv series about that...🤔
@@danielmiller3596 you mean V?
With War of the Worlds, couldn't it be possible that the Martians just never encountered disease-causing bacteria on Mars, and so never considered anything so small could be a threat? I've haven't seen that one, so I don't know if the movie gives any lore about the Martians and their homeworld.
@@denisebacher5040 he means War of the worlds 1988
nope ash wasn't.
Here's the thing about most of these villains = They are way too arrogant and/or have inflated egos. This makes them blind to common sense. And the thing is, no mater how smart you are, if you are clouded by arrogance and/or huge ego, you will make childish mistakes.
The main idea behind War of the Worlds is that no matter how smart or advance you are, even something a mundane as arrogance can be your downfall. The aliens paid the price for their arrogance with their lives.
Regarding Amber in Scream 5, I think Amber was dumber to suddenly reveal herself when there were still so many people alive, I was like 'my brother in christ, you have everybody suspecting each other and NOW you choose to reveal yourself?!'
To be fair to Jack, the hotel entity wanted Danny, not Wendy (as much). So it makes sense he would be influenced to go after Danny first.
If the martians had no experience of bacteria on their world then they might not foresee such a thing and plan to counter it. A worse alien villain would be the predator in prey who literally shoots himself
Yeah. If there are no pathogenic bacteria on Mars, they'd be a classic Outside-Context Problem for the Martians.
So weird to assume there wouldn't be any diseases, but I'm assuming its more like how the natives got killed by european diseases instead of prometheus level of nonsense.
At least the predator was a rookie and his mistakes were understandable.
The martians were complete morons and got cocky instead of killing all the humans first .
@@Bass-ef3dr but killing all the humans would make no difference if bacteria will kill them all anyway. I would hope most rookies would be taught that if you don't know what a weapon is targeting, don't fire it
Surprised you guys didn't mention M. Night Shyamalan's Signs. Yeah - aliens who are literally killed and dissolved by water try to invade a planet covered in it and populated by creatures made of it without any sort of protective gear. Not one of Shyamalan's brightest plot points.
Being defeated by Germs makes more sense than being defeated by water, just saying
And both can still be nonsensical. Best argument being "what about..." should speak for itself, just saying.
Wasn't a weakness to germs the same weakness as the aliens from the Species movies?
Everyone is talking about the Martians not knowing about bacterial threats because they no longer had such threats on Mars...is it not possible that the aliens in Signs had never encountered liquid water before, and therefore did not understand their weakness to it?
2. Marina(Friend Request)- She was able to use computers to torment Laura and her friends with nightmares. Did.she.really have to do the suicide ritual? She could have scared off all Laura's friends and told her the consequences of unfriending her.
Marina was only able to conjure the nightmares AFTER her suicide (a Black Mirror ritual) which made her into a vengeful spirit. The visions and horrors only happened after Marina's death.
The past childhood tormentors killed by black wasps were more of an instinctive protection she cast as a child rather than what she was capable of after her death.
To be fair to Amber I wouldn't want to live like that and would try to take as many down in a murder-suicide myself. I suspect that that's exactly what she was trying to do
I imagine she wasn’t really thinking other than about getting revenge. They killed her lover, burned her face and ruined the plans her and her bf had set in motion. So… yeah I can honestly see a reason she’d run at them in berserker mode.
This was my thought too. At the end of the day it was all about the stab movies for them, so she was just doing whatever she could to add to the legacy.
Also she was shot from the side by Tara, and in the time she started screaming to being shot combined with Tara's injuries, it's obvious Tara was already standing there, so the yelling changed nothing.
not only that if she survived, she was looking at multiple life sentences if not the death penalty. She couldn't even play dead an go on the run. With half her face gone she would be identified no matter where she went...or she would have died from infection... So yeah may as well go out like that.
Yes if you're not doing dumb things then they're telling you their whole plan for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Still not as bad as those aliens who came to earth who had a weakness to water
The Silence of the Lambs one is even dumber because most revolvers don't need to actually be cocked anymore. He literally died doing something he didn't need to do
#1 applies to literally every version of H.G. Wells story though. Not just 2005's.
How about the aliens in Signs that can't stand water but come to a planet that is made of more than 2/3's of it lol
Some villains are just too cocky and too sure they will win that it cost them their life.
Personally I think that if you were from a planet where micro organisms never existed, you wouldn't think to look for them nor would you have devices to scan for them, so I think I'd give the aliens a pass in war of the worlds
While Land of the Dead doesn't match the awesomeness of the original trilogy it's a pretty good watch. Hopper often played a great villain.
I'm cracking up at the idea of an astronaut on Mars being like: "Nah, I don't need a space suit, T-shirt and cargo shorts'll do me just fine."
Gotta love Ellie, she always keeps it real with these lists 😂😅
She covers for a lot of poor editor and writer work, THAT is what I give her credit for.
At this point, I believe they just include mistakes like "the aliens' homeworld" to create nerd rage and drive up engagement.
But I could be a paranoid lunatic.
buffalo bill cocking his gun in silence of the lambs
Seriously. Why not go for the major pistol whip and then shoot her?
I much prefer gunning his cock.
TBF, the killer jumping up for one last scare is a Screams Trope (see...well...most of them).
Not just in "Scream". That's used in many, if not all, "scary" movies.
It's even worse with the "Shining". In the book, the hotel explodes - killing the evil spirits that possessed it, and Jack in one go. Now that's a SHOW. That's made for screen, it's got drama, it ties up all the loose ends. In the movie the guy just... boringly freezes to death, and the hotel is free to lure more tourists into murder sprees. But I guess it's still cool, because Kubrik's movies just... eh... look good?
It's explained in a deleted scene that the aliens in War of the Worlds are from a planet of anti-vaxers.
Since War of the Worlds came up... The aliens from A Quiet Place. Invading a world that is more than 70% water and... not knowing how to swim. Brilliant.
The War of the Worlds’ ending is the same as the one in the book tho, As it turns out, all of the Martians are dead, “slain by the putrefactive and disease bacteria against which their systems were unprepared.”
Not the zeno's home planet they crashed landed (well technically the engineers did) on the planet. Ripley made sure to emphasize that to the board members of the company.
I can only imagine what a smell came out of the Martian craft when the door opened and all that soup poured out...
Jack went for Danny because the evil powers of the hotel, who possessed his mind, wanted the boy - or rather, his powers
I actually don't entirely agree with this list, not the details, but the methodology (spoilers below, obviously).
I'll give one example: Adrian revealing that he was behind the plot the whole time in invisible man, he whole MO is to dominate Cecilia, to control her. Controlling personalities like this can't win if the victim doesn't KNOW who is in control. If this is considered dumb, you have to consider every action he ever did dumb, because all of his actions are about control and manipulation. Consider when he kills Emily in public. Dumb? No. All about control.
At this point, he has no reason to believe Cecilia would have a means of exacting any revenge, so he believes himself in full control of the situation, which would only be valuable to him if he then expressed that dominance.
Put another way: calling his behavior here stupid discredits the character growth and determination of Cecilia. If he's dumb, her ultimate achievement isn't significant. But Adrian remains intelligent and consistent the whole way, he's just overconfident and doesn't recognize that Cecilia has ultimately matched him in the battle of wits.
Ok and to think u need to manipulate and control someone who at one point was willing to love u for u is dumb, yes everything u wrote amounts to it being a stupid decision and it's even dumber to underestimate someone u backed into a corner, maybe if he actually did some thinking it wouldn't be stupid and u thought saying Cecilia accomplishment is insignificant was actually true, fuck development dude, she just wanted to live, he didn't have control over her not once during the movie, he dies, she moved on, he kills her sister, doesn't let herself believe the bs, he tries to blackmail her, she plays him, it's not hard to seem intelligent when all the cards belong to u, as soon as wasn't on terms he created to benefit him, he lost, she didn't outmatch him in with bcuz there was nun to outmatch, he was literally using the element of surprise and nothing else
Along with Amber, Mickey also got himself killed, when he could’ve played dead until Sidney, Gale and Cotton left.
The aliens from the movie signs should have been on the list as well. How are you going to come and try and conquer a world that's 90% water and you can't tolerate water?? Lol get their ass kicked by a cup of water
Just a slight correction, but that was not the alien's home world. They came there on the derelict spaceship.
They came there.
I disagree about Buffalo Bill. What killed him was fucking around long enough for Clarice to adapt to her surroundings (he didn't need to waste time toying with her or being so close to her). Clarice was just smart enough to adapt and pick up on the gun cocking--the hero naturally being smarter than the villain is not something the villain controls and you can't really fault them for that.
Now that the “dumbest decisions horror movie villains made that got them killed” list is out of the way, how about the “smartest decisions horror movie heroes made that got the villains killed” list?
.....did you even watch Aliens? Your synopsis was so riddled with inaccuracies it was practically impossible to tell that you were talking about that movie.
Burke wasn’t “the head rep”
Ripley found out about the terraforming from Van Leuen, the ACTUAL head rep, not Burke
Ripley didn’t suggest nuking the aliens until the mission was already screwed and she certainly didn’t plead.
Burke didn’t “decide to go ahead with the mission”....it was never his decision to make, and Hicks would have nuked the site if the aliens hadn’t destroyed the drop ship.
And so on
And the most annoying mistake for me "terraforming the aliens home world" their nest was inside an alien ship, how the hell would that make it their home world?
@@Lugen101 Yeah, how they missed the line "It's a rock, no indiginous life", I have no clue
I also fail to see how trying to get Ripley and Newt impregnated by face huggers directly led him to his death
@@tonyrossell832 You're totally right. It didn't. At a stretch it could be argued that it led to the situation where he wasn't trusted by the others and he couldn't trust them (Hicks was about to waste him), so he left them all when the Aliens attacked....and was therefore alone with no one to defend him when he got munched (tho in a cut scene, Ripley discovers him cocooned and impregnated, and gives him a grenade).
Jack could also have followed his own footsteps out of the maze.
What Amber did wasn’t actually that stupid. It’s make more sense for the other killers in the other movies to make a run for it as they aren’t burnt to a crisp.
Buffalo Bill reached out because he wanted to keep her hair to make himself a wig. He was trying to figure out the best place to shoot her without damaging it.
Arguments between this and signs always count on the aliens knowing these things, which they probably don’t
Here’s the thing with war of the worlds, though… It was HG Wells’s original ending !
Okay. And?
@@zydration3538aThe screenwriter got kinda crucified by critics and the internet for this ending as just poor screenwriting…but it was actually the same ending from the book
Don't care because I know I'm not alone: I'm still gonna miss Ash around here forever. But I must say Ellie has really come into her own and I am very much enjoying her work! :)
Where did ash go?
She's been working for Playstation Access for a good while now@@tbrhunter
She went to some kind of gaming channel some time ago. For quite a bit after her departure, WhatCulture was airing lots of canned videos she hosted - they had a ton on deck, it seems. @@tbrhunter
I like Ellie - she's charming, less bad with mispronunciations than, say, Josh (who I adore, but lord, man, it's DO ER TEE), and generally keeps a good energy going - but I always cringe when she's presenting a list, because they invariably have an above average number of bad takes and factual errors.
Can't disagree completely with your assessment of Ellie's lists. I've noticed some disparities as well Still, overall, she's grown on me. And, no one is perfect, though yes, WC needs to edit and vet things out a bit more carefully....Cheers@@KaminoNeko
Where the e hell is the man from hush
He could have killed her whenever he wanted but he waited for the game and when he had the jump he just had to taunt Maddie
War of the World's didn't "subvert expectations." That's how the original book ended.
Messing with a person with telekinetic powers is a stupid decision all by itself. Enough said.
Bill had to cock the gun. Bullets don't work as well when you throw them at someone.
Lol
He could have hit her on the back of the head and knocked her out first
Does "Buffalo Bill" have a choice tho? I mean he could've had the gun cocked before hand... 🤷🏿♂️
In regards to War of the World's, logic is frequently sacrificed for story in science fiction.H,G.Wells was going for Irony in the ending. 🤘😁🖖🇨🇦
but also they came form sterile environment so they forgot what a virus was
There should be a TOP 10 "DUMBEST DECISIONS in ARMY of the DEAD! 💀
I've always thought Billy and Stu's actions at the end of the original Scream were the stupidest decisions ever by horror movie villains. I can actually understand why they monologue to Sidney - they have massive egos and want her to know their 'brilliant' master plan. At that point, there's little she can do to stop them. But their decision to start stabbing themselves BEFORE they've killed Sidney is absolutely moronic!
Fun thing I found out is that there is a deleted scene or extended cut scene not sure of where you see Burke cocooned and already impregnated and begs Rippley for help and she gives him a grenade I think
Now, if I had been Richie Kirsch, and Amber had revealed herself *way* too soon and now we’re outnumbered, and I’ve been shot in the leg, I would’ve abandoned the original plan, thrown Amber under the bus, kept playing mr nice boyfriend, and lived. There’s no evidence of a second killer, and I was “attacked” by Ghostface in the hospital. Once Amber is dead and can’t rat me out, I’m in the clear. I’ve gotten away with it.
That wouldn't have worked because Amber was at the police station when Sam was attacked in the hospital
The worst part about Carrie is that, even if she couldn't stop them, they would have damaged that beautiful car.
In regards to "Silence Of The Lambs", we also have to admit that Buffalo Bill would not have found Clarice to his liking, because she wasn't a 'big girl' whom he could have starved and gotten skin for his 'woman suit'. So his seeming immediate fascination and toying with her was definitely out of character, for the way they'd built him up.
Good call on War of the Worlds. But just as bad is Signs since it is Aliens who can be defeated by water invading a planet whose surface is covered by 71 percent water and can be rained upon!
If they came from a planet that had no water (similar to Arrakis in "Dune") they wouldn't know what water is, or that it was destructive to their physiology.
I think most horror movie casts having the combined IQ of an ice cream cone is a big part of why I'm not a big fan of the genre. I just can't care about braindead characters, especially when they're often annoying/terrible people on top of it.
For the war of the worlds ending, it's simple overconfidence. The aliens had humanity outgunned so they probably didn't think about the geems.
Signs - Aliens that can be killed by water, try to invade a planet made of 70% water
The thing that always bugged me about the Aliens movies that centered around military/corporation wanting to use them for bioweapons, there was little to no reason to use humans as the hosts. They already know the xenos exist/ed without humans to gestate in, the xenos use literally any biological entity large enough, so they could have used literally any human sized or larger for that matter animal as hosts. Even with the idea that they pick up physical traits from their hosts humans are far from the ideal, they already have their own intelligent hive mind so picking up "human smarts" is pointless and being bipedal doesn't mean much when 90% of the time running around on all fours is more useful for them, rather the animal kingdom is where the fun is.
Need to mass produce some cannon fodder shock troops, herd of cows, now you have a herd of half ton muscled xenos some of which have narly horns to send stampeding across the battlefield. Oh you want a squad of murder machines, where the three bears at, now turn loose some grizzly sized xenos with the claws jaws and strength to match. Need to drop death itself into a compound, get me Tony the tiger or Leo the lion, now everything is going to die until you hit that little button and pop the explosive collar which you damn well better be ready to do at any moment cause death don't stop on its own. Ever considered what a xeno gestated in an Elephant would be like?
That honestly is the biggest "stupid" moment, using what is arguably not only the worst host biologically/tactically but also the one most likely to get you shutdown if nearly anyone finds out your using it.
Amber screaming is one of the rules, the killer always comes back for one final scare. That's the rule Scream created.
Today I learned that John Travolta was in Carrie '76 wow, I can't believe I never noticed
I was shocked when I discovered he was in Grease.
I guess the aliens in war of the worlds should’ve gotten their vaccines 😂
War of the Worlds (the one listed) was even worse because they said the ships had been on Earth for millions(?) of years and *should* have been updating the suspension pods or at least do a scan to learn the atmosphere is lethal. Much like the aliens in "Signs" and the said-many-times-already (Jules-voice) "DESTROYED BY WATER".
well in the book they came form a sterile environment so they were doomed one way or another really and they were desperate you would do anything to get off a dying world
OK, so I don't remember the name of this movie. Only that it involved a giant Saber tooth tiger a couple that were hiking, a man that was hired to kill it and a woman who wanted to capture it to study it, So the woman tricks the hunter into going to this place in the hopes that the saber tooth tiger will kill him and she convinces the couple that hes dead so that they won't go back to help him, however, the guy survives and he confronts her makes it clear to her that he has full intentions of killing the animal, and for some reason, she decides to run towards the tiger and an attempt to get it to run away by shouting at it, This results in the tiger focusing all of its attention on her, and it ends up attacking and she spends her final moments calling the hunter begging him to help her.
I'm actually amazed he actually did try to save get after she left him for dead
First 8 second described all of Florida perfectly 💀
I thought the ending to War of the Worlds was how the book ended
I couldn’t finish Carrie, but I did watch The Rage Carrie 2 which was 6/10 and Carrie 2013 remake which wasn’t good. I could only view until the prison scene of SOTL because it was just too creepy.

War Of The Worlds was interesting enough even though I’m not into science fiction but the ending was a bit silly
I’ve seen the Frozen guy picture online although never watched The Shining-- I thought the image was random or taken from a comedy lol
Just an idea: put the word "Spoilers" in he title. And mark the timeline for each movie so we can skip those we didn't watch yet.
The aliens that had a weakness to water invading earth.
Does anyone know where that clip of the tiger with half it's face is from
Uh -- you might remember that Jack T had gone utterly insane....
Good list
Signs! Where aliens who are allergic to WATER invade Earth….a planet made mostly of water.
