Speaking of horror movies

That's kinda like Bruce Campbell v.s. The Army of Darkness (not really horror, but still),
I'm sorry, but I feel it's ok if the ending of a HORROR movie is depressing. I mean when I'm watching a horror movie I don't want that happy of an ending, unless I think I'll have nightmares other wise.

First of all, if it's a zombie movie, hopefully at one point they cause the people watching it to feel the depression to the effect of thinking that "geez, it'd really suck being one of the last few people alive." This was the feeling I got from Evil Dead when Ash is the only one left that's really alive, which no other zombie movie has done for me, which is why it's my favorite.
With Residents Evil, you knew the main character would live no matter what. With Evil Dead, even though I know there's a number 2 & 3, it seemed like Ash might actually loose near the end of the movie.


And although I've never really seen it done, does anyone know a horror movie where the bad guys win? The closest I've seen anyone come to this was Evil Dead(1), which had a nice ending, to bad they never finished up the story of it, because as we learned in Evil Dead 2, the evilness (my name for the evil force) cannot take someone during the day, which then again I don't think that applies to number 1, but still.



Another thing that Evil Dead has over many horror movies is character reactions.
In most horror movies I can remember, weather or not the person that must live no matter what has any militry training at all they seem to just grab up what ever they can find & start to fight. In Evil Dead, at first Ash couldn't even move when facing a deadite, then after she started to loose his mind, he was able to better fight the beast.
But, then again, this was barely present in ED2, although it was quite good. And in House of The Dead, a bunch of highschool students get handed guns & the go out their attackers.....yeah...I'd be supporting from the back lines most likely.



And last but not least; I beleive that horror movies need nudity! It's not required, but it helps, so not to much, but you know...And then who ever was just shown should be killed, it's kinda like classic rules, only not really.
