    Finally, after 10 years, I understood all the jokes in Scary Movie. And a couple problems I had with this movie was exactly that, I was familiar with Scary Movie and so I knew a lot of the story progression, but I won't give any negative points for that, as it's not the movie's fault.
    As it's own Scream is quite the entertaining movie, playing more as a tribute to the 80's horror movies than anything else. It has all the cliches of slasher movies, but it is supposed to have, but at the same time it actually has a realistic take on the genre, thing that a lot of the main movies in the style do not. Having the killer actually take a beating is a double edge sword, it is more realistic, yes, and it makes sense in the end reveal, more so than it would be if it was a Jason style of killer that appears, kills and disappears like magic.

      Editing … This one takes quite the beating, but on the other side, it takes some of the scare factor, which together with the fact that I associate the killer with Scary Movie, makes me not fear him at all. While not the masterpiece I've heard being called, Scream is definitely a good horror movie, but one that entertains more than it scares.

      Editing … Well, it's intended to be a satire, not true "horror."

      Editing … A more serious satire, yeah, and achieves it pretty well, reminds me of Cabin in the Woods.

      Editing … Another great movie! While we're here, could you please suggest some truly scary films? It seems I've been conditioned against most horror after watching so much. :c

      Editing … That's kinda hard because I don't really remember ever being afraid of a movie except with Child's Play and Freddy vs Jason but that was because I was a kid when I saw those. VHS 2 has a pretty cool short story in it that is pretty freaky. I personally found Grave Encounters to be scary enough, but a lot of people don't seem to think so. And Jacob's Ladder is not overall scary, but it has some moments that by fucking GOD, plus, those moments inspired Silent Hill. Other than that, I always recommend Alien.
