All this time I thought they were just slasher flicks. They are but in an almost comedic way and making fun of horror movie tropes. It's weird. I didn't expect this. Makes Scary Movie almost a little lame for biting this movie.

Yeah it sort of started the self aware horror genre.

They're meta but in a serious way. Scary Movie is a total parody and includes non horror parodies.

I just saw Scream 1, 5, and 6 in the past 48 hours. Yeah, I'm into these. I think I'll need a break before I jump into 2, 3, and 4. I'm definitely curious what they're going to do with 7. Scream 6 didn't impress me as much as 5 but I still liked it.

Are yall watching the Screams

I was in Jr high I think when scream 1 came out. But I never actually watched them for years. In the past year I finally watched them all, except 6. I will see that when it can be streamed

yes the scream movies are meta commentaries and dark comedies as well as serious slasher films
each one is a meta commentary on something else

scream 1 - meta commentary on slashers
scream 2 - meta commentary on sequels
scream 3 - meta commentary on trilogies
scream 4 - meta commentary on reboots
scream 5 - meta commentary on requels (like star wars where they have a new cast but bring in legacy characters in a supporting role)
scream 6 - meta commentary on franchises

id say there are no bad scream movies
even scream 3 is only bad by scream standards but still better than the majority of slasher sequels
the whole movie series is really good
even the tv show is pretty good for its first 2 seasons

Yeah, Scream is super self aware and is amazing because of it

This. Except I'd say thats not even giving enough credit. It was borderline groundbreaking for its time.

Eh it worked in 96. its almost a negative in the last couple. Maybe they just don't do it as well or maybe I'm old... either way it made the first scream great and just seems try hard and meh now.

If you Just meant the first one then totally agree.

I loved 1. Was kind of meh on 2 and 3. (all when they were first released). Went to see 4 out of a feeling of nostalgia and the only impression it left on me was having no desire to rewatch it and to ignore any further movies in the franchise.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

5 breathes new life into the franchise. Also it has something very important happen to one of the original characters
