Overrated Overacted Overwritten

Rating: 6/10 (12 January 2014)

The Contrast between the Male Teens and the Female Teens in this Movie is as Obvious as the rather Clunky Horror Movie References. All the Girls in the Movie are Drop Dead Gorgeous and all the Dudes are Ugly, Irritating, or both.
Pointing out two from each Gender should make the Point and You can Discover the others on Your own. Because You are going to watch or have already watched this famous Movie that, in no Particular Order...Spawned Sequels that are up to 4 led to numerous Imitators, Rejuvenate the tired Slasher Genre, Blah, Blah, Blah.
Oh Yea, the Character's contrast, or is it "Actors". Well, there is Cute as a paper cut, Neve Campbell with those Freckles and whispery, Sexy Voice and Rose Mcgowan, Wow. Then there's the Boys. Stu, who Contorts His face, sticks out His tongue, and way Overacts in every scene to the point of "Fingernails On the Blackboard" Overacting. The Geeky Guy who is the "Expert", tries to out Mug Stu by doing a Jerry Lewis imitation, but no need, He Mugs just fine on His own.
But Enough of that. The Film is Highly Overrated. It is Shot with a pristine Fondness and Looks Great, but the Script, what a Letdown. One could guess that about half of the Fanboys who watch this type of Stuff could have come up with so much Better. But Their too Content to lap this up and give it a "He's talking to Me", as Craven and Company Stroke Their Egos.
Overall, it is a Very Good Movie, but Hardly Great Cinema. It is more Mad Magazine than National Lampoon. No need to point out that Mad outsold Lampoon by about a Trillion to One.
