Scream
I’m slacking off in my posting reviews but in anticipation of Scream (2022) I’m revisiting a series that is like an old friend to me. This film was something that I was dead centered in the middle of the demographic. I was a <PERSON> horror dork. I was dying to see it and when it didn’t get one to my town’s 5 theaters til January I went and saw it with my best friend and little brother and a couple more times by myself. 444
The movie was mind blowing; scary, an intriguing whodunnit, funny and meta af. It was like nothing I’ve ever seen. Sure we might get a small mention of “I’ve seen enough horror movies to know anybody wearing a mask is it up to any good line being used in Friday the 13th VI Jason Lives for example but never had I heard characters in a horror movie discus the rules of horror movies lol
It’s such a time capsule and really brings me back to being a teenager who was jealous of the previous generation (primarily my aunt, uncle’s and grandmother) who enjoyed Halloween in the theater but thinking about how the slasher revival was OUR TIME! I absolutely love the nod of playing Halloween on the tv 📺 in the party finale it works so perfect and the “ Behind you <PERSON> gets a laugh out of me 25 years later”. Also huge nods to having a cover of Don’t Fear The Reaper and a character with the last name of <PERSON> lol Though don’t think too hard how scream 2 could be playing on tv in h20 when it’s Halloween (1978) was featured on tv in Scream (1996) ‘a climax... 🤯🧠🤷🏽
Revisit was fun on to part 2
Scream Uuuuuuhhhh I see it coming up next 995
