i think scream was over rated, there was alot of hype about this movie bringing back the horror genre. It was a good slasher movie but it brought us other movies like I know what you did last summer, and the summer after that, and the summer after that, and oh yes scream 2 and 3 which i don't care for

I really liked Scream, and watch it every halloween along with the 2 and 3. But I agree with the illdojo talking about Ulrich, he isnt very good.

Bad metafilm is infinitely worse than bad film, and Scream is loaded with bad metafilm. If you go by Scream, Wes Craven knows about slasher movies as Kevin Williamson knows about teenagers. Not scary, not funny, too dialogue heavy, smells like an elephant, propositions your sister, eats all the ice cream sandwiches, borrows your car without telling you, constantly plays Warrant albums really loud all the time, insists that Megablox are superior to Legos and constantly votes Republican. Goddamn Scream. Don't get me started. To quote Billy Crystal "Feh!"

I really enjoyed SCREAM and thought it reinvigorated the genre. I saw it the day it premiered with a packed theater and people screamed their heads off. Fun stuff.

I saw it the day it came out out as well. I was 8 yrs old and my dad was going on a date and he couldnt get a babysitter so I got to tag along! I still remember how amazing it was, we also went and saw the other 2 opening day as well.

Excellent.

Of course Scream wasnt any better than an 80s slasher, but the concept and the cheesy tack made it an instant hit. Further, it came at a time when horror was going through a serious bad patch and had hit an all-time low, so it can be safely assumed that this was the movie which brought the audiences back to the theaters, plotholes and bad characterizations aside.

Good to see more people developing an active interest in this discussion. Of course, the lovers can also bash a movie they like...if you think a character was out of place, or if some scenes slowed the pace down...even if you love that movie, feel free to put it down here.

Speaking of slow paces...one movie has always been targeted for being a patchy entertainer. Some of us hold it in very high esteem, yet some of us think it was grossly over-hyped and over-rated. But, why does

Saw

actually share such a love-hate relationship with the audiences, despite its fresh approach and unique scripting and direction?

Is there a flaw in the movie...if yes, what is it? Let the bashings begin!!

I like the original, Danny Glover is the shit. But I must say, Fuck the Saw movies, I don't think a single horror movie comes out in October because of those damn movies.

i like alittle gore in my horror movies, it had you guessing the whole the movie with a good ending. Like this one best out of the 3.

I think they're mediocre at best; the acting in the first at the climax was unbearable.
