    • The original is great because it’s a parody of the genre, but the Scream films have become parodies of themselves. They’re fine slasher flicks, but I wish they’d have kept making Scream films that were aware of the horror genre instead of Scream films that were aware of themselves.

    • Agreed. 2 is still probably my favourite but is showing its age on rewatches. I like when the cast make smart moves to counter horror movie cliches and still die.
