Blacks?

Why is there always a black or half black guy in these stupid teen/20's horror casts? There must be 75 similar films, all with a black guy and one or two stupid white girls and one jock, one smart or stoner and one fat guy, or maybe an Asian.

So ridiculous, like all the amateur movies of this type. I mean, HOLY CRAP, like the rest, they stopped at a gas station where some weird guy works before arriving at the scary house/cabin/swimming hole/camping spot!!

I made him feel shame... my shame. ToL
Indies to watch:
Blue Ridge
Once
Shotgun Stories
Old Joy
The Lobster

What exactly is your complaint? The only ethnicity you didn't mention was Latino. People are cast. And, there are people of many races on Earth. I just don't understand what you have a problem with.

And just so you know, the movie made fun of horror movie tropes on purpose. It was kind of the whole premise of the film.

What he said👆
It was done on purpose. I can't say it any better.

'a black guy and one or two stupid white girls'?!

Geez man, I don't know if that's racist or sexist or both?

What I do know is though that you are thick as *beep* as it was the whole point of the film to parody type casting, stereotypes and clichés.

Hope this helps!

Where do you stop when you're running low on gas?

You are sin.

That was kind of the point, wasn't it? That the horror movie cliches are all set up for the ritual. They're basically saying that this is just like all those other movies because all those other movies were manufactured by the people in the control room.

That was the entire point of the movie. It was a combination of the elements of all successful horror movies in a parody/homage to the genre.
