Developing Doomed Characters/Quotes

""A good murder mystery has plenty of character development, that way you actually give a shit when people start turning up dead. This isn't a big secret either, it's Writing 101. In fact, even the shittiest of horror movies spend plenty of time developing the characters. I'm looking at you, Alien vs. Predator.""

- SydLexia, reviewing Mystery House

""So we start the movie with a bunch of unlikable jackasses looking to do nothing else but party and have sex.""

- Phelous, on Hostel (or Cabin Fever)

""I think this is supposed to establish Character Development, but let's face it, we're just getting an early peek at the buffet. We know these guys are Alien chow and we're just looking at the clock until they get munched on.""

- The Nostalgia Critic, on Alien Resurrection
