Kill everyone. Kill all the hereos. How often has this really been done? If Jason would have finished off everyone, or even more so freddie, then you wouldn't have to spend 10-15 min of the film trying to explain why they are alive again.
And how often does the same cast member come back anyway? I say kill em all and give me something to cheer for. It leaves something to wait for. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but normally by the end of the movie I'm so annoyed by the hereos I am cheering on the killer.
"Slaughterhouse" ended with all of the main characters killed (even the Final Girl, even though you don't see it.) So does "Trick or Treat" (same deal). Neither of them are any good.
A better solution would be to have half-way decent scripts with characters you can root for.
SPOILERS
Madman, Cheerleader Camp and Valentine all ended with the killer winning, in the case of Valentine and Cheerleader Camp the final girl isn't killed, just tricked into thinking someone else was behind the doings. What about Black Christmas, I always thought the killer won in that.
Ever seen any of the sleepaway camp movies. The killer(angela) a crazy transvestite kills everyone. Its really gruesome too. Its also from her point of veiw you see every step she makes nothings a suprise. Which i think is special and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
I happen to like Trick Or Treat! At least the one about heavy metal...in which case, the killer DOESN'T win, but...
Just send Jason, Feddie, Mike, etc. to a black community and two thing will happen:
1. The brothers and sisters with guns will start shoothing
2. And everybody else will be hauling ass. Top speed.
