Best Horror Film Round 2B: Scream (1996) [6] vs. The Conjuring (2013) [27] vs. Final Destination (2000) [38]

Part my love for it is through nostalgia. I was a teen when it first came out and remember seeing it a couple of times at the cinema and just getting a real buzz both times. Watched it countless times on VHS too and have re-watched a good few more times on TV since. It still holds up well, but is probably overrated. I can understand why someone who didn't grow up with it wouldn't have the same love.

I'd call it overrated as well, but mostly because that wasn't a good era of horror and it was one of the best films to come out of it. It's still a great movie regardless, I'd just rank it lower than most people on all-time lists. Scary Movie did kind of ruin it for me tho bc now when I see Ghostface all I think is "WAZZZZZZUUUUUUUPPPPPP"

I thought the first and third were decent cheap comedy but the rest are pretty trash, there's so many better horror parodies out there that I hate that they're the first ones people think of.

Yeah and I think they just miss the point of sending horror up. Scream works because its made by someone whose a fan of the genre. The Scary movie sequels do seem to get worse because their not even spoofing horror anymore.

My hate for the Scary Movie series is pretty high as well.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Scream moves on.

As it should.
