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!!
