Because it's not as badass...
shareBECUASE IT'S A MOVIE
shareoh well, its a movie is the answer to any possible question to any movie. why do you watch movies pal?
shareWell, just blowing up or even tearing down a house would not do the trick of actually "Killing" Vampires. All though many Vampire killing formulas varies from story to story, the removal of the head from the body and the destroying of the heart seems to be the common and uniformed method in all stories. So tearing down the house wouldn't do much good.....blowing up Maybe. But I agree that that would draw too much attention to the slayers.
sharethe vampires die when exposed to sunlight.. if they tear down the house, where the hell are the vamps going to hide?
shareits a form of enterntaiment and you got too suspend disbelief at times
why does the babysitter go up the stairs instead of running outside
Well, to tear down a house so that the Vampires are exposed to the sunlight, the walls would have to fall outword. In other workds if the Roof and walls cave inward of the living space the vampires can still hide under the rubble....you'd still need to pull them out into the sun.....again I'm just splitting hairs. It would be a very short movie if it was too easy to Kill a vampire.
sharedefinitely.. damn illogical reasoning *shakes fist*
shareIn the original novel by John Steakley, which by the way, doesn't suck, Crow's team took care of the vampire nests by demolishing the houses they hid in with explosives in broad daylight because it was too damn dangerous nine times out of ten to drag them out into the sunlight. Afterwords, to coax the vampires out of the rubble, they used even more explosives, and stabbed the hell out of them with six-foot-long pikes as they popped out to the surface. All in all, a much, much better stragety than the 'fishing technique' they used in the movie.

I've got a FEVER. And the only prescription, is more cowbell!
good show, guy.
shareThey should have just burnt the house down to ashes, along with the vampires! Just dowse it in petrol, light a match to it and watch it durn down in matter of minutes! Then all the vampires burning inside it would simply have no where to go and if they come out into the sun they are just as screwed!
But hey, it is a film and they had to make it look like it they were doing a badass thing!

Because it's what they do...hunt em down, and kick the $h!+ out of them.
Now that I have my coffee, I'm ready to watch radar.
Maybe they had to be sure that its was vampiers inside and not civillians?
shareHaha. My dad thought the same thing the first time we saw the movie. He said, "Why don't they just set fire to the house. Wouldn't that make more sense".
But that just wouldn't be as badass.
