Complete and utter nonsense

Rating: 1/10 (19 February 2007)

First of all , I have a question for all the fans of " Scream " series : why do you like this boring , unoriginal - as - hell ,less - than - mediocre pile of donkey dung ? You call this a horror movie ? The only horror about it is the fact that it's horrible . And that flicks like this spawn their copycats , just the way they were spawned themselves- right out of the monotonous , teenager - slashing stupidity of " Friday the 13th " , " Texas chainsaw massacre " and the like . Pardon me for blaspheming , I know these are true classics to many , but , let's face it , folks - what's frightening about a movie where there are no surprises to speak of , no originality , no real suspense , just one stereotype after another ? WE HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE , MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO . It was fresher then .Now , it's like a fish slowly rotting away on a fish market one week after it's been pulled out of the water . Wow , how yummy .Wes Craven is a true genius - he found out a way to make big bucks by selling something that's been sold more times than Viagra .
The story is ridiculous , the conclusion barely makes sense , and that first scene in the theater- boy , what a farce ! A girl , fatally stabbed with a knife through a dashboard ( these serial killers must be doing a lot of workout ) crawls out of the lavatory bleeding like a pig , stumbles through the crowded theater just to scream her last scream right in front of the movie screen and then drop dead - instead of searching for help ?It's a straightforward comedy , no need for a parody - because that's what the whole movie already is . Someone's killing teenagers ? Really ? Oh ,no ! He stalks them , calls them on the phone using a voice modulator , mask and a big knife ? How original , how new , never seen before ! All the teenagers are pretty and sexy ? Well , another surprise , in other slashers they usually look like Quasimodos .
As far as I'm concerned , this is not horror , this is pure commercial exploitation of the horror genre in the most shallow , dumb , farcical and materialistic manner . I wish movies like this never existed . Period .
