VipaGTS 09/14/18 12:55:15 PM #5:	I'd say so. By then the established franchises had already started going off the rails and then Scream came in and sort of restarted the genre for a modern audience. --- "I devour urine just like my Portland Trailblazers, with piss poor defense." <cite>VipaGTS posted [p:908745212] in Question f...

Mistere Man 09/14/18 12:56:43 PM #6:	Scream as in the first one? If so not really heck I had the whole thing figured out in the first few minutes. I never saw scream 4. Major major scream 1 spoilers do not read if you havent seen the movie again major spoilers you have been warned. I mean the killer was taller than everyone else and only one character is that tall, then tall is chasing girl through the House only for other guy to just happen to pop up at her window to block her. This told me there were two killers working together. --- Water+Fall=Radiation. <cite>Mistere Man posted [p:908745298] in Question f... [t:77000560]...</cite> <quote>Scream as in the first one?

The slasher/masked killer genre had gotten extremely stale but that doesn't represent the horror genre as a whole. Scream turned the genre as a whole on its head with the self-referential tone and meta style dialogue. It also was a pioneer in intentionally blending horror and comedy as opposed to what came before it. The post-modernism horror genre is all but credited to Scream. Not just slashers we're performing poorly prior to its release, as admitted by the directors and actors themselves at the time. IMO horror fans owe a lot to scream for giving us some of the greatest westernized horror films. --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X <cite>Zeeak4444 posted [p:908745943] in Question f...
