yusiko 01/11/22 7:01:04 AM #4:	yes scream was a meta breakdown of the slasher subgenre as wes craven didnt think there was anything left to do with the genre so he created a movie that broke down all the tropes and cliches and mocked them but in such a subtle way it could also be watched as a straight forward slasher film he created scream to kill the genre once and for all but ended up breathing in new life to it for awhile. --- yusketeer <cite>yusiko posted [p:961654425] in Scream (fi...

Phantom36 01/11/22 7:05:27 AM #5:	Both. It was meant to be a serious movie while at the same time being a parody of itself which is what made it so good and a mark of Wes Craven's genius. Scary Movie was the all-out satire. --- The Phantom has spoken! <cite>Phantom36 posted [p:961654471] in Scream (fi... [t:79847393]...</cite> <quote>Both.
