A film that has spawned painful followers

Rating: 3/10 (5 January 2000)

When I first saw this film, I loved it. But over the past 3 years I've become a more respectable horror fan, and I look at this movie as an extremely overrated horror flick, that has spawned silly rip-offs, including a Scream take on the Halloween franchise. Which I liked it first, with the return of Michael Myers, but it was one of the silly rip-offs of Scream, that should've gone it's own way. The Halloween series had a great image. But now it's looked at as Scream-like entity by many who love it. I respect Scream for it's reigniting the series. It's just unfortunate, filmmakers like Moustapha Akkad aren't taking advantage of the reignition, in their own highly respectable styles. Instead, their drowning the horror genre with the Scream-likeness. God give gifts to Chucky creator, Don Mancini for taking " Bride Of Chucky " in it's respectable style. Hopefully, the Scream followers will end soon, so we can have our Freddy, Jason and others back! Perhaps, Halloween : H2K will deliver a more respectable return for Michael Myers. We really need Michael back, the way he was!
