RE: ⠀

Very nice write up - I can see you have a real appreciation for Scream and the series as a whole.

However, I've never shared that sentiment = Scream is the sole reason we have fast food style horror these days. It's as you say credited for bringing Horror back to the mainstream, well when it came out we all labled it as Trendy horror because of all the yuppie plebs who thought it was the second coming.

It was the safe way to do a horror movie in the already overly PC world of the mid to late 90s.

It made everything look too clean and unrealistic and that's carried over to every film in the series.

Take your pic here at the end , the hospital scene. It looks clean and unlived in. It almost looks like you could use it for a stage for the Masked Singer or some sort of similar show.

This is a paramount problem with movies in general yes, but in horror it's a crucial asthetic flaw. There's no more grit or attempt made at immersion.

Thanks for your review, =)
