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.

I love Monster, Zombie & War movies

I love Monster, Zombie & War movies ...I wish this movie could have decided what it wanted to be. Were the real "Horrors of War" your fellow soldiers attitudes? How they treat civilians? The decisions you must make to redeem yourself and save others? Mad Scientists? Nazi Mutant Zombies?  French Werewolfs? Well, I was really hoping for more of the latter 3, (and more gore) but this could have worked as regular a war movie with any Nazi super weapon, the monster element seemed tacked on (especially there whole werewolf part, it seemed very much a pointless sidebar). I'd have rather seen more of a real Monster threat in a war setting.  The monsters came one at a time, and slowly. there wasn't much of a perceived 'Monster threat' leading to a big showdown, the big showdown was...well, awkward. Out of nowhere the Mutant Mad Doc and Werewolf start fighting, and the werewolf dies like a vampire...then after the "sacrificial choice", between a fam...

Halloween Marathon, part 2: The Devils behind the sun

The first Men Behind the Sun marked the beginning of the Category III (CAT III) movies, the extreme graphic violence and the historical theme made Men Behind the sun going to the highlights, apparently, it grossed enough money for make a "sequel". https://365movies.is/ Men Behind the sun II is directed by Godfrey Ho (remember Ninja Thunderbolt ? Ninja Terminator ?), the greatest Hong Kong B-movie director. This is more a remake than a sequel, with the only difference is that we don't see the cadet's "point of view". Men Behind the Sun II is the most violent and nasty (at least in my opinion) of the whole Man Behind the sun Quadrilogy, it includes the most disgusting autopsy scene ever filmed. The special effects are realistic, shocking and gross. The English dub is cheesy. Many people complained at the time that T.F Mou made Men Behind the Sun just for make some cash on this sad story, actually, i think that the guy who did this is Godfrey Ho, compare ...
