"what is the matter with teen horror?"

The answer is idiocy. The women who run from whatever masked villain never retaliate. For example in valentine one of the women manages to hit the weird masked cherub with a snooker cue. He's down on the floor, stunned momentarily. But then the daft cow keeps on running. Why the hell doesn't she hit him again, and again. Then he'd be dead and she wouldn't end up impaled on some jagged glass. Either american women are very dozy when it comes to survival, or the writers just have no logic. Whatsoever. The same happens in scream when Mr Grim Reaper has had 3 beer bottles thrown at his face. He's on the floor. The chance is their to stomp on his head and push the fridge onto him. BUT NO!!! This silly b!tch decides to try and escape through the cat flap, giving Reaper man an easy method of killing her. Raise the garage! She's pretty much laying it on a plate, saying, 'oh please kill me MANNNN!!!.' Utterly stupid. Here are a few other horror movies which see the dumb teen run off when she has the chance to stop the murderer:
Wrong turn
Halloween
I know what you did last summer
Urban Legend.
To name but a few. Infact the only recent movie I can think of that didnt do this is probably final destination 2. Being that this wasn't a generic slasher flick and the evil murdering thingy wasn't some insecure/nerdy/troubled maniac donning a nice mask. Hockey maybe :D

Its not real enough. I know you have to suspend disbelief in the first place, its a horror movie after all, but do the writers really have to mock us with such similarity. We've seen it all before. Final destination was the most original horror film in years. It stopped the trend of slashers and ultimately turned the genre on its head, giving a new spin on it. A final destination 3 would be great.

I agree. Teen horror is generally badly-written.
