I caught Scream on one of the premium movie channels the other night and it made me remember how shitty that movie is. I read that it was originally made as a comedy, but when it actually scared young people in test screenings they decided to release it as a horror film. As a parody of slasher films, Scream would have been average...but as an actual slasher film itself???? Rubish.
Just because this movie scared a bunch of little kids and made eleventy skagillion dollars at the box office, now they barely ever make a real slasher movie. All we get are sequels of remakes of Japanese horror movies; watered-down sequels, prequels, and remakes of older, real slasher movies; and psuedo-scary movies with a PG-13 rating and a bunch of actors from teen TV shows.
