O.k...
I enjoyed the Scream trilogy and have seen them many times. What i don't like is the floodgates this movie opened up in hollywood. All of a sudden we get I know what you did last summer, Urban Legends, Scary movie, Cursed...all the way up to the Stranger calls remake. All watered down 14A kiddie flicks.
I respect Wes Craven and I understand what he was doing with Scream. I just hate the backlash. I grew up in the 80s watching all the horror films I could. I am still under the impression that slasher flicks shouldn't be funny, family affairs. When my 11 year old daughter can go to "When a stranger calls" and not be the least but scared..then the movie has failed. It's all Hollywood moneymaking bullshit. It isn't nescessary to remake classic horror films for pre-teens. They should be able to go and find the originals and not have to be force-fed watered down crap. I realize Hollywood is trying to reach the pre-teen set because that is where they make the money.
Horror movies are not supposed to be safe.
