The original 'Scream' is one of those classic things, but it totally pokes fun at itself too. It's never taking itself too seriously, which is why I think it's such a cult classic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To me, 'Scream' is a masterpiece on every level - the performances, the humor, the tone - it's just flawless.
Scream was great for what it was. For a horror film, it was intelligent, it was funny, it took a laugh at itself.
The 'Scream' series is unique in that it's an ongoing murder mystery, even though it's a different killer, so if you know who that killer is, then half of the fun of the movie is gone.
What 'Scream' was great at was presenting ironic detachment and then making you actually care about the people that were having it, and juxtaposing it with their situation, all in the service of making a great horror movie. It was fresh.
There was never anything like it before in history. It was a different kind of joyous, happy screaming.
'Fright Night' I can just about deal with. Because the original is such a 1980s extravaganza. Which is a good thing. Obviously. But something like 'The Others' or anything psychological: I'm no good with that. I don't like it when there's space for me to use my imagination.
Yeah, I do like scary movies, especially the ones that don't take themselves too seriously.
'The Exorcist' is amazing because it recognizes that silences can be as powerful as sound effects.
There's nothing wrong with the screaming style of singing, and I'll be the first to admit that it conveys an emotion. But I'm getting older, and I can't scream and shout about the same things anymore. The songs I'm writing with Stone Sour call for a lighter, different approach.
A 'scream' is always just that - a noise and not music.
