you know what i'm really sick of? the now more prevalent fad for horror movies to have grim little children as the main scare of the entire plot. the amityville horror, the ring and ring 2, resident evil?!, the others, even the sixth sense to an extent.
i mean it was okay for the exorcist and the shining. but now it's like every half-baked piece of shit horror movie that comes out has to have at least one or two scenes in the trailer with some small ghastly kid saying something like "you're going to die" or "welcome to hell" or something so hackneyed you wonder how the scriptors could even think that it would scare anyone but the most senile or juvenile of its viewers (sadly, the biggest chunk of the movie going public being of the latter kind).
seriously, if you plan on producing/writing/directing a movie in the future, how about you go with the always safe mass murderer or the deranged psychopath and veer away from any soft spoken demon children. THE DEMON CHILDREN MARKET IS SATURATED FOR PITY'S SAKE!
