10+ Horror Movie Clichés That Are Really Annoying

When you think of horror movies, you want to feel fear, dread, and horror, but often bad acting, predictable scenes, and clichés confuse us more than scare us. The eternally repeated scenes in basements, running away from a car chasing the victim, scenes in the mirror or in the bathroom... you've surely recognized them, but there are many others that really get on our nerves.

Good scary movies evoke fear and tension in us, but there are also those horror movies that you regret, that you have viewed them. Predictable scenes and a senseless course of the story spoil the impression, not at all clichés, which are like a dot on the i do complete destruction of the film work. Because that's how you are funny, we have prepared a list of the most common clichés, which you horror fans will definitely recognized.

Running away from a car chasing a victim

A scene that deserves gold medal. If the victim is being chased by a car, the car never remembers doing it ran in a direction where the car cannot go. It is often the case that the protagonist runs in front of a car that will catch him. But, since anything is possible in horror movies, it often happens that yes the victim is not even caught by the car.

The car does not want to start at all

The moment when we are the most nervous, is the one when the protagonist trying to escape the clutches of death. However, luck is never on his side, if he decides to avoid danger by driving away. The vehicle that was working 10 minutes ago broke down just when the killer hunts the victim.

A woman cannot run without falling

It seems as if women are in horror movies are often presented as creepy, because screenwriters always prepare a scene, v in which a woman cannot run 100 yards without falling, just as the killer is chasing her.

The quick walk of a killer

Even if it is the killer completely crippled, always collects power and walk instead of run, but it still is faster than a sprinting victim.

A scary scene in the mirror

It seems that it does filmmakers can't possibly resist the looking-glass cliché, because even in modern films there is still a lot of it we are watching. Every time he's in a movie a mirror, you know very well what will happen. The victim will suddenly see the reflection of the monster standing behind them.

Bad phone signal

The screenwriters realized that it is clearly not convincing that the victim did not have a phone with her, when he wants to call help. The solution was therefore found in poor signal – so when an accident occurs, all signals fail and the phones are useless.

Terrible basement

In the movie, if the victim buys a house, it is guaranteed that he will be in it a horrible basement in which someone has been or will be murdered. The owners also always feel the need to to check what strange sounds are coming from there. How about a half-functioning light bulb? You obviously forgot that she has to blow up just when it should be working flawlessly.

The killer in the bathroom

can you even imagine what would a movie be without a bathroom murder. Many people don't expect that they will died in the bathroom, except for those who watch horror movies.

The girl who survives

We are all eagerly waiting for the end of the movie – the most typical scene is, of course, when one girl from a group of people survives. This is usually at the beginning of the movie the most shy and innocent person, but when he comes face to face with the devil, he turns out to be the most resourceful and intelligent.

Creepy kids

Innocent, cute and cuddly children are not scary at all, until you see them in a horror movie in which they turn into the devil.

The police always arrive too late

The biggest obstacle that victims face is likely call the police for help - difficult to reach the phone they arrive, to inform them about catastrophes, but when they succeed, they the police often show up when everyone is already dead.

Writings on the wall

A horror film would obviously have no effect without the victim's obsession with someone bizarre signs, nonsense words and religious symbols on some random surfaces. This of course worked, when we saw such a scene for the first time in a movie, but when every screenwriter started copying this idea, it did became a cliché that we laugh at now.
