I'm really, really, REALLY sick of horrormovies which use children as a cheap way of attempting to pull my heart-strings.
"Oh no, my child is possessed" - I don't care.
"Oh no, a ghost is communicating through my child/my child can see ghosts" - Please, stop.
"Oh no, the serial-killer/ghost is going after children, and now it is coming after mine!" - Please-oh-please-lord-mighty-will-you-stop?
"Oh no, we just moved into a new house, and the children are complaining about strange noises, but I don't believe them because they are just children" - Realistic, but overdone. No, please, no more.
And so on, and so forth. I'm not a parent, and I largely find children annoying. They also tend to be poor actors, and have to play cliched roles. So, can you help me out with some movies?
I think old Hill House/Rose Red was rather decent movies, and Cube did a nice job too, just to name some that worked without children.
(Also, no slashers. I don't consider them horror).
