Scream 4! Yes, a Cult Classic is coming back with a 4th film!

I don't know what to think about this. The Scream trilogy was great, it parodied the horror genre while still remaining a horror movie in its own right. But a 4th? What about the whole trilogy thing? If they're going to be making a 4th, I guess we can hope the format will parody horror anthologies...but either way, this is just yet another example of Hollywood refusing to let good franchises die, and has a very good chance of muddying the brand with a "what can we make money on this month" sequel.

 

I thought that this thread was going to be about Evil Dead.
Which is 10x more sexy then the scream movies.

Which are totally lame.
but are REALLY funny.

 

Ok... Sorry but the triliogy is horrible. The only good Scream movie was the first. Second got a tad lame... and the third? No thanks. I LOVED SCREAM, so don't get me wrong. In fact it is probably one of my favorite horror films (up there with Halloween..). It was totally unpredictable and fresh. I think they rushed a script and tried too many twists in the other two. Just keep it simple. I will definately see Scream 4.. but I don't think it will be anywhere as good as the first, but hey.. I might be wrong. The Dark Knight kicked the shit out of the original Batman so there is hope.

 

Totally agree with basically everything you said. I thought the first Scream was hilarious, adn great at satiring horror/slasher movies, whilst still having some rather tense moments (And, really, what other movie has the killer tripping over? GOLD!)

The second and third became parodies of the first one, pretty much, and instead of poking fun at other horror classics, it poked fun at itself, which is so less classy.

Anyway, I probably wouldn't see Scream 4, if it eventually came out (which I don't think it will, personally...I just can't see them rebooting it like they did Batman...I mean, with Batman, it was like they completely ignored the previous 4/5 movies (depending if you include the Adam West movie) and started again. That would be impossible in this case, in my opinion). I might see it on DVD

Then again, no horror movie....nay, no movie ever released can beat Freddy Vs Jason for sheer stupidity and ability to dump on not one, but two franchises! Eurgh, I hate that movie with a passion!

 

You think a movie fanatic like me who is going 6 hours away to get a bachelor of arts in film studies doesn't know how to depict between scary movie and scream? C'mon now. What kinda walrus do you take me for?

Scary Movie is fun for it's own reasons. And I guess I didn't see the "Scream 4" When I first saw the title.

 

Noooooo! It will ruin the trilogy!! Leave it as it is!!! Leave classic films alone!

Bad idea! Boooo!:eusa_naug:eusa_doh::bang::tears:

 

I wouldn't mind seeing another Scream movie, but what previous posters have said is right, it will either make or break the franchise.
The Screa trilogy is a great franchise, I think they should think about leaving it as it is, rather than taking a chance at ruining it.

 

No, I'm not. I'm thinking of Scream.

What I meant by "poking fun at other horror classics" was moments such as when the janitor is dressed in similar clothes to Freddy Krueger, and a character makes a comment about it...or the moment when a character says that only the first Nightmare On Elm Street was any good (the director or both films, Wes Craven, had always felt that the first Nightmare should have been a stand alone film, without sequels, and the producers forced him to direct two more sequels, before he left the franchise)....As well as "The Rules", which totally take off all the expected stuff in horror classics.

 

Thank you!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

 

I love scream 1. The sequels don't compare to the first but I still love the franchise. Four has to go back woodsboro with the original characters, otherwise its not worth it.

 

OHHH NOOOOOOOOO

Scream is like the worst film ever.

Then they brough out sequels....why...

It was originally called scary movie...being a black comedy...


but then the producers said that it should be passed a horror.... ;|

 

Scream 3 was horrible. It made zero sense. Hated it....

 

My thoughts are that non of the originals are gonna want to come back and they are going to throw some nobodies in it and it will go straight to dvd just like I Know What You Did Last Summer 3 and it will suck.
But I could be wrong

 

The first one was the best one. The second one was all right and the third was, well, um, pretty... it sucked.

A fourth one? That is just ridiculous. Now I love horror movies, but only good ones

I don't see Wes Craven returning. He doesn't like sequels that much. Just look at the Nightmare on Elm Street series. At first it was a stand alone movie. Craven returned for the third installment where he tried to end the series, but it spawned three more installments. Craven again returned for the seventh movie (which completely discredits the first six movies) to attempt ending the series. We all know what happened next. Freddy vs. Jason was made.

Scream 4 is just an attempt to make money.

 

I do enjoy the Scream movies. The first is best and the other two are ok but ithink they r more comedy than horror. I mean i didnt get scared in any of them i just thought they were great thrillers. I would love to see a 4th one. But i hope this doesn't become like I Know What You Did Last Summer or the Urban Legend movies where the last sequals can be classifeid as the worst horror movies ever made
