I fucking hate when a character whos driving a car turns to talk to their passenger. Like, eyes on the damn road wtf! And its always longer than a mere glance, its always at least just long enough to be annoying and anxiety-inducing, sometimes its even longer.

Probably when the two heroes have a fight and part ways at the start of the 3rd act, only to come together at the end. Got old after the 20th time I saw it.

Yeah, this is garbage. and I can't believe how prevalent it is. pisses me off everytime. And it always feels like they're setting up for a car crash.

This. Especially in the most recent Magnificent Seven. Absolutely no one was surprised when Goodnight returned.
If there's an intense moment and they show a semi truck or train, it sounds the horn.

Guns that fire way more rounds than they carry.

Someone shoots a plastic, five gallon can of gasoline and it blows up a city block.

In the same vein as that. Gunshot sounds that doesn't match up to the how the gun is being fired (gun is being fired in bursts but the sound is full auto)

Firing a rifle in full auto and being 100% accurate.

Agreed

Yeah, I hate that too. Foreshadowing is good but not when you beat me over the head with it.

Guns with infinite clips, mostly. I have a habit of counting and when someone with a standard 9mm shoots 21 rounds it annoying.

Worse for me on that though; the absolute lack of recoil. No one is shooting a .45 6 times in a row with one hand and not having a snapped wrist.

Excessive use of sound effects for weapons.
Have you ever seen that Green Arrow show?
Every time he pulls out an arrow it does the "shhhing" sound people think swords make, and when he shoots an arrow it makes a loud sound too. Bows are practically silent and the only noise you'd hear would not be a "whoosh" but a slap of the string.

There are other examples, but that one is particularly bad.

This one, for sure.

When the phone is ringing at like 10x the volume of the voices and they wont pick it up. I practically have to watch tv and movies with the remote at my hand.

I always hated when there was a dial tone immediately after the other party hangs up.

There's also that, which bothered me until I found out it actually served a purpose.

How about the fact that no one ever says "talk later" or "goodbye" or anything when ending a phone call? They just hang up! Rude.

When young teens make pop culture references and jokes you know no kids that age in real life know anything about. Pretty much any character Finn Wolfhard plays. Do writers know how teens talk? Any kid who was constantly that smartassed would be getting beat up every day.

As a huge horror fan I have been over the car randomly not working. Look, if its foreshadowed or shown that the antagonist screwed with the car beforehand that's great but when the vehicle was perfectly working earlier with no signs of being messed up or somebody screwing with it and then it randomly wont start for some reason...like cmon man. It's way overdone and clich, stop it.

Seriously, if you are writer stop that. Also the obligatory "I have no signal" shit. It's lazy and played out, you need to write a more creative reason for why they can't use their phones....Terrifier for example has the killer take the smart phone and use it to lure in the person's friends...much better than "derp no signal derp"

Sorry for the rant but I love horror movies and I think the writers need to be a little more creative, they have been using the same cliches from 1974...
