“It was a bold choice to film the subway portion in real time. That’s what they did, right? That’s why it took so long?
It’s just these last two are too stupid for me, and not in a fun way. Ghostface shows up to an apartment, two characters escape out the front, then halfway down the stairs decide to turn around, but then are still locked out, and all of this why?
Why would you keep a spare inhaler at your friend’s house, and why would she have to stop a party so you could retrieve it: Hey buddy, I’m realizing now that leaving my inhaler at your house is super pointless, would you be so kind as to run upstairs and grab it for me, then meet me out front of the house?
Drop me off the balcony. Let me go. Let. Me. Go. Can I say this another way so we also understand the metaphor, which by the way, is stupid. Your older sister should taze a frat boy in the testicles when he’s literally dragging your ass up the stairs, even if you didn’t narrowly survive being murdered a year ago. That’s being a good bro, not being an overprotective weirdo.
With all the social media shit in here, does nobody #BelieveWomen and think this girl probably WAS the victim of a slasher, especially when her story is vetted by her very diverse friend group?
Why are we killing a therapist? We’re killing Billy Loomis’ illegitimate daughter’s therapist now? That’s the level of victims we’ve got on the table? Am I supposed to be concerned about the well-being of a therapist, who kinda sucks at his job, by the way, and we’ve spent all of 1 minute with.
Fact Check:
-Nightmare on Elm Street 3 is clearly the best one, would have also accepted New Nightmare from movie nerds.
-Candyman original is the only one that matters.
I thought this movie was going an interesting direction at the outset because it seemed like we were going to know the killers the whole time, removing the whodunit? layer and doing something new. But nope! Nevermind!
The quips. The quips are so ill-timed. They’re trying to have these brutal killings, but then as someone sinks to the floor, they make some quip and it deflates the tension in a terrible way.
Here are 10 ideas for the next one:
1. Starts from the POV of the killer, who then discovers they may be the victim after all.
2. POV of the killer, who wants to kill a specific person and finds out someone else is going after the same target. It’s a race!
3. Someone with no connection to Woodsboro just starts using this as a way to structure a set of serial murders that are pretty horrific. This is more a detective movie than a slasher.
4. A group on a backpacking trip is getting picked off one by one, night after night. They have no choice but to press forward as they are nowhere near civilization and the killer’s first move was disabling their communications devices.
5. Gale is doing a super pathetic book tour, her star now fully faded, and at each stop, someone is murdered.
6. The guy who made the Ghostface mask goes on a rampage because he just wanted to make children happy and then people perverted his creation.
7. Slime? Plant man? I don’t know, basically any Goosebumps thing.
8. Cruise ship?
9. Space. It’s time, Scream. It’s your turn to do your space entry.
10. Someone kills my neighbor who thinks you have to let a car run for 25 minutes when it’s 50 degrees out (bass thumping loud as fuck the whole time).”
