Underwhelming, but needs new writers!

Underwhelming, but needs new writers!

I vowed not to review this until at least a few episodes in to give it a fair shot. I understand this was developed for the new MTV generation, but quite frankly, this show massively insults them. Unlike the popular film franchise which managed to cleverly poke fun at stereotypes, this series tries to legitimately pass them off in glaringly offensive ways. The girls either impossibly weak damsels in distress, or bitter, venomous sex objects written specifically for male entertainment. The only exception to this rule has been the refreshing character of Audrey.

Aside from her, the jocks are trying to be alpha males and the girls are skimping around in lingerie and teasing them. It's definitely exploitation, and for anyone with a modicum of intelligence, disturbing as well. I place the blame for this solely in the writers laps. This is simply lazy development, relying on caricatures rather the giving us people who feel remotely real. Simply put; If we were smart enough in the 90's and early 2000's to mock these carbon copy characters with spoofs like Another Teen Movie and Scary Movie, why have we regressed into using them again with the expectation they'll be taken seriously?

The whole concept of the scream franchise was to scoff at these ideals and breathe new life into the genre by making it relative to us, self-aware and smart. This series is NOT smart by any means because the characters are vintage, cookie cutter tropes that bring nothing provocative or interesting. I actually laughed at the incredibly stupid lines of dialog like "For reals?" written by writers so out of touch with actual high school young adults that one would think they watch Clueless as research material.

The story line on the other hand has at least more depth than the vacant characters playing it out- but not much. It borrows, again, from a multitude of other films from the 90's which only punctuates the fact that the writers are evidently all in their late 20's/early 30's and think older teenager today still talk like their friends did and behave like hair twirling nimrods when in crisis. Young adults today are actually pretty smart and far more evolved than they're being given credit for by this show.

 They may not have been around in the Era of "I know What You Did Last Summer" and "Urban Legend" - and the writers are lucky, otherwise viewers would be switching off for new, legitimately fresh takes on content the likes of American Horror Story. While lacking in creativity, it seems to be squandering the potential of a new story. I have to consider though, that this is the same network that produces such quality entertainment as Teen Mom. In comparison to that, I suppose, this is a huge leap ahead, but still not updated to the present.

The Door in the Floor

The Door in the Floor is a 2004 American drama film written and directed by Tod Williams. The screenplay is based on the first third of the 1998 novel A Widow for One Year by John Irving. The film is set in an exclusive beach community on Long Island, where children's book author and artist Ted Cole (Jeff Bridges) lives with his wife Marion (Kim Basinger) and their young daughter Ruth (Elle Fanning), who usually is supervised by her nanny Alice. Their home is filled with photographs of the couple's teenaged sons, who were killed in an automobile accident; the tragedy left Marion deeply depressed and her marriage in a shambles. The one shared experience that holds the family together is a ritualistic daily viewing of a home gallery of family photographs of the deceased sons. https://365movies.is/movies/happy-death-day-03222.html Ted and Marion temporarily separate, each alternately living in the house and in a rented apartment in town. Ted hires Eddie O'Hare (Jon Fos...

Disgusting torture and then turns into a bloody action flick

Disgusting torture and then turns into a bloody action flick I've not seen "Man Behind the Sun" or "Evil Dead Trap" or that many Asian horror films. That said, this movie is more gruesome than almost all European and of course American movies that I have seen. It is not quite as disturbing as "The Untold Story" from Hong Kong. I ran to the computer to make sure the autopsy early in the film was not real. https://365movies.is/  I did not really find anything on the web that proved to me otherwise. The naked girl does not look like a dummy and the dry limbs being sawed off, that's shocking. I'm not sure that if it was a real corpse, that it was then material taken from stock footage. Anyway, it blows away the first film in the "Guinea Pig" series, which has a very low budget and poor production values. This movie has a large cast and does not skimp on special effects. All the gun deaths result in blood splatter. In more lazy g...

The Pink Panther

The Pink Panther is a media franchise primarily focusing on a series of comedy-mystery films featuring an inept French police detective, Inspector Jacques Clouseau. The series began with the release of The Pink Panther (1963). The role of Clouseau was originated by, and is most closely associated with, Peter Sellers. Most of the films were written and directed by Blake Edwards, with theme music composed by Henry Mancini. Elements and characters inspired by the films were adapted into other media, including books, comic books and animated series. https://365movies.is/movies/the-devils-candy-04032.html The first film in the series derives its name from the eponymous pink diamond that has an enormous size and value. The diamond is called the "Pink Panther" because the flaw at its centre, when viewed closely, is said to resemble a leaping pink panther. The phrase reappears in the title of the fourth film The Return of the Pink Panther, in which the theft of the diamond ...
