Didn't see the mention because you didn't put the [ ] in it. xP

Spoiler for Don't Breathe

Now you can give me a "suspension of disbelief" argument. But no one on earth is reasonably stupid enough to STOP running from the guy who murdered two of her friends, impeding her escape to taunt that person. They'd only run as fast as their legs could carry them, she didn't even seem to stop from exhaustion/or to catch her breathe. "Looking back to a killer" is a horror trope that no one in real life would actually do. Trying to say that's realistic...I think is the wrong argument to make. And the turkey baster scene (where he was going to fill it with his sperm and shove it in his kidnap victims vagina, to impregnate her...completely skull fucked the overall serious tone/suspension and almost came out of nowhere and was a very stupid moment. It also didn't seem like it was suppose to be a joke...so it's the best example I can think of because the whole third act didn't fit with the previous acts and that scene was probably the worst in the movie. (other than the dog vs. girl car scene.)

I say non threatening doggo, because the dog clearly was not actually acting aggressively but it had added growling sound effects in post production.

Example of such Until 24:40 But that's sort of what I saw, while watching.

Also like I said, the third act is the weakest part of the movie. The drawn out chase with the dog is absolutely stale compared to what had come previously, it's not even remotely as threatening of a scenario.

Just my opinion, I can see why you might like the movie. It had some good things in it, but I think it was a wee bit overrated when it came out. Like a lot of horror movies really...

I think you're correct in that, a dumb plot can become engaging enough if written well enough. Like a good joke told poorly won't work as well as a bad joke told well. But make no mistake, it's still a bad joke...Granted, maybe it's bad of me to write off a movie without giving it a fair shake. But I'm a cynic, so it happens. Somethings can be so stupid on their own, that it just seems like it would be impossible to get over.

Like what my older brother told me about Attack On Titan. Which basically ruined any possible entertainment I could get out of it. :I

If you want Attack On Titan completely ruined for you. You've been warned.

The big secret in the basement...The titans are basically the Jews...it's a parallel to a Nazi anti-jew conspiracy...I wish I was kidding. :I

I don't/wasn't trying to dismiss the entire genre, like I said. I do enjoy some horror movies. I'm just one of those people that once spoiled to something, it can ruin an experience of watching it. And all the hype that comes from almost every horror movie that comes out, when most of them are the cheapest to produce and it usually shows. (and because I've never actually gotten scared at the horror film. "its good because it scary" has never worked as an argument for me.) It almost sets itself up for disappointment.

Talk about (almost) anything.

@KnightShade The descent was another good movie. Let the right one in was alright. But, Don't breathe, was um...well there was a particular scene that I could instantly

imagine becoming a Scary Movie parody.

Where the fucking girl who escapes, leaves and fucking STOPS in the middle of her escape and turns around! I even think she even TAUNTS HIM? Because dumb as hell character, then the man sicks the non-threatening doggo on here. (Ala Frozen. *The horror one*) And she gets scared and runs again. That whole third act is funny to watch, just not in a good way. But I could imagine, Anna Faris, escaping the home then turning around in the middle of the road, bragging endlessly that she escaped to the point of sheer ludricousness and then the man just sending a horde of velociraptors at her. (and that's ignoring the turkey baster.)

But yeah that movie was really dumb. Even my friend (who likes super cheesy horror movies and bad movies in general usually.) who wanted to see the movie in theaters, ended up disliking it in the end. Granted had decent actors and one damn good trailer, but yeah...

There's several movies that are SUPPOSE to be really good horror films, but if you actually listen to the plot outside of them, it sounds, really, really stupid. (this is how I've been told.) Like...

Get Out (possible spoiler?)

Evil white people take over the bodies of black people...and somehow has a serious moral message about racism. :I

Babadook (possible spoiler?)

Ooh it's an anagram for The Bad Book, ooo so clever. And the ending apparently is she keeps the evil demon creature as a pet...because that's symbolism...for moving on with her problematic life. :I

It Follows

The villain is an STD. ...Fucking really? :I

So yeah, it sort of makes me not want bother watching some of them. Doesn't help that a lot of horror films, like Unfriended get actually good or okay reviews, and it's one of the worst movies that's been released. Like don't get me wrong, I'm not my roommate. I don't outright dislike horror movies. Just find the recent ones to be, very pretentious or a dumpster fire.

SKINNY-FAT UGLIER THAN FAT?

@Dinh AaronMk Mmmkay. Thanks. Was simpler than what I was imagining.

I looked up some pictures and I dunno. I still would prefer to look like the people described than being a human wrecking ball. XP

Talk about (almost) anything.

@KnightShade I dunno, I think Saw and even a bit of Saw 2 had a bit of more clever writing and good shots then most horror films would. I can see why they got as popular as they did...despite going off the fucking rails. It's kind of like final destination, I think it put more effort than a lot of horror film's I've seen. But horror films, aren't usually masterpieces whatsoever. And the ones people call masterpieces their usually pretentious pieces of hot garbage.

I think if one enjoyed horror, to give those movies a try. But pretty much aside from a couple okay thrillers. There's not many -good- horror movies. Unless you like the "so bad, it's good" variety like Sharknado.

SKINNY-FAT UGLIER THAN FAT?

What exactly is skinny fat?

The Hole: 1940s Magic Noir (High Casual-Low Advanced)

Alexander Cunningham

A few hours later...

Alexander groggy opened his eyes, sitting upright and pulling the covers tucked underneath him. Quickly grabbing his shirt laying across the bed post, attempting to search the around the softly crept closer to the living room like he was traversing across ice. Following the pungent smell of coffee, poking his head out while hiding his body behind the wall. Alyssa was fully clothed and standing beside the window, with the sun brightly flooding the room. Her eyes glimmered like a candle's flame, staring outside with a coffee mug in her paws. He noticed the box of cherries already opened, sitting on the table, letting out a slight sigh.

“What are you doing?” Alexander asked. She glanced back and turned out seeing him standing the middle of the living room, staring down for a couple seconds before she gave him a bright smile.

“Admiring the view.” She replied with a straight tone, her tail playfully swishing through the air. Despite Alexander's eye roll revealing he was aware of her innuendo.

“Where did you put my pants Kacey?” Alexander questioned. She reacted with a pouty face and turned her head away.

“Not going to say, especially with that tone of voice.” She said. Alexander remained silent for a moment, until she playfully stuck her tongue out, showing that she was just teasing him again. He responded with a sigh, turning around and headed into her pink paneled bathroom and pulling back the floral pattern shower curtains. Finding his pants hanging on the shower head, while Alyssa finished drinking the coffee while listening to the water turning on and the door being promptly shut. “Darn. I guess I've gotten predictable.” She giggled when another light bulb went off in her head.

His clothes rested on the sink, while the hot water poured down his head, holding the bar of soap in his talons, meticulously scrubbing his wings. He could hear the door being opened despite knowing that he locked it, feeling Alyssa leaning against his back, while wrapping her arms around him, playfully biting his right shoulder.

“What are you doing now?” He asked despite knowing how she'd answer back.

“Biting you.” She replied muffled with his shoulder still in her maw. He turned himself around seeing her smiling back, without her top, setting the soap down while simultaneously lowering the heat before kissing her.

“Doesn't your radio show start in a couple hours?” Alexander asked holding her paw.

“Yeah, but I've missed you. I haven't seen you in a while. Since you've been so busy writing.” Alyssa answered stroking his chest. He looked down seemingly lost in his thoughts, opening his mouth to speak but was interrupted. “I know you've been struggling, don't hesitate to ask me for help. I'll happily share your burdens.” He simply smiled at her and kissed her forehead.

“Thanks, but you don't deserve any more trouble thrust upon you. My burdens are too abundant for someone to share without being hurt-ow.” He answered back until she playfully flicked the tip of beak.

“I got to be prepared for my show, thanks for stopping by. Maybe you can come by sometime and fix my bathroom lock for me.” She teased before leaving.

A little later outside Alyssa's apartment, Alexander had left and started walking down the stairs seemingly unaware that somebody was watching him from the passing crowd. He started walking through the pedestrian scramble, crossing the street. The gruff wolf casually threw his cigar down to the ground, occasionally glancing at his target from his newspaper before silently standing up from a nearby bench. He quickly made his way up the stairs to the very apartment and pulling out his tommy gun concealed in his trenchcoat and effortlessly opening the unlocked front door.
