I hate when some random person shows up with everything we need to know about the monster. Sometimes there's not even a reason for that character to have this knowledge. Part of why I loved Cloverfield. But then all the online lore came out. I was so mad.
Deep Rising does this too, and it ruins the monster. Seeing the entire monster also ruins the monster. Oof. I still love that movie so much though.
100% agreed on jump scares. It’s gotten a bad rap for being cheap, which I think is nonsense. There’s a place for well-executed jump scares in every horror movie

Cloverfield is a perfect example of the way I like it.

Right. One or two great ones in any movie is greatly appreciated.
Love some Final Girl energy too! 🪓
Always great.
I love all of those. Add mad scientist and irresponsible with power.
Mad scientist is always great
I'm a huge fan of the old Hammer House of Horror films.
Those are what I grew up with. Love them.
Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing... they broke the mould when they were made. Such great character actors!
My childhood heroes.
