Genre changing movie that has destroyed what horror used to be

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2003)

This is a great movie and when I first saw it, I was amped up when I found out there was going to be a sequel. However, in retrospect I wish they hadn't made this movie. If you look at recent horror movies that are widely released you will see that horror movies suck unless you know about independent movies that film studios wouldn't touch. This is more or less a parody of horror movies. I would never have commented on this movie, however, I see that everyone thinks it's so great. If you are a fan of movies such as Dead Alive(by the now lame Peter Jackson), Re-Animator and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you hate the fact that this movie exists. Every horror movie except for the Ring is copying Scream. Think about every horror movie you see at the movies or hear about... all you have are a bunch of WB actors running around showing that they really aren't that talented and some aren't even that goodlooking. Wes Craven is a master of genre redefining movies. Last House on the Left, Nightmare on Elmstreet and New Nightmare were all awesome movies. But now we are stuck with gay movies such as Soul Survivors, They and Valentine.
