For All You Scream Fans...

Thats the whole point with Scream, Chez.

Found on Review: Scream
"Scream is a rarity: a horror movie spoof that succeeds almost as well at provoking scares as laughs. That's because director Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street), in addition to having a genuine affection for the genre, understands how wildly improbable and easy to lampoon it is. And, with Scream, he skewers it at every corner, using self-referential humor and a flood of in-jokes (some subtle, some obvious)."

Scream was always meant to be corny, cheesy and lame. It's a spoof of the genre. Unfortunatly for the world it succeeded in the genre of horror and became really quite popular. I, personally, didnt much like it but I still remember being entertained by the first one at least.

A fourth Scream, I hope, will incoroperate all the new technology we have for films and maybe put in some vital things that the other films lacked. Such as actual believable gore and characters that use their brain. You know, stop being spoofs and play up to the genre they have ended up and become so popular within. Who knows though?

I may go and watch Scream 1 now, actually.

Exactly.

I already know the what the whole premise of the movie was, and it's reasoning and made all the more pointless to watch.

I hate movies that mock other movies or a genre with a passion. It was the stupidest film ever made. Almost as bad as Epic Movie... which was probably the worst movie ever created.

You obviously havent watched many movies! There are far worse than Scream out there.

I wouldn't knock on Chez, she is almost as big of a movie buff as I am.

But back on topic. I can see the general consinsis is that most people find it to be cheezy that making another would be "milking" it and it could possibly be like beating a dead horse. I haven't done any reaserch into this yet but to me ultimantly to me the Sydney story is complete, it would be stupid to bring her back for another film. but if Wes has half a head left on his shoulders he would dump the original cast and crew (maybe have one of them on there for cameo purposes, Ex Gail Weathers) and start the story anew. New cast, new killer, new concept. I am in the same boat as Faith, liked the first one, others we not worth remembering (except when CC died in part 2 that was classic and I hate Geller). So hopefuly we will actually get something good out of this one, I will probably see it when it hits DVD (if it doesnt go straight to DVD haha)
