Scream (2022)
Good movie, one fundament downfall
The movie was done well and had a great plot. The suspense was consistent but not over the top and the nostalgia was great without being a trip down memory lane.
Where this movie got it wrong, however, was the age of the cast. I'm not certain but I would hazard a guess that this movie's target market is those aged 30 to 45 who grew up with the franchise. Having a diverse cast of kids just does not resonate with the audience that is paying to see this movie. In my opinion, a cast of adults with grown up lives, rather than juniors, would make this movie far more engaging to its target audience.
Us (2019)
Terrible
This movie was actually terrible. I'd say it is bots rating this movie so high but even film critics are praising it. Why!? I don't know. Maybe it makes them feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
The film just wasn't scary. The supposed "metaphor" makes no sense and the jokes just ruined the slight bit of suspense that the movie started with. Don't bother.
The Extraordinary (1993)
Great Show
From what I remember, this was a great show (in the sense that it achieved what it set out to do, scare the s*** out of its audience). This may have been easier to do as I was about 7-8 years old at the time, so I'm not sure if it will still scare me as I haven't seen it for a while. However, Unsolved Mysteries scared me then and still scares me, so I'm guessing The Extraordinary would maintain the same effect.
I found it weird when the host went on to host that lifestyle show, he even gave that innocent show a scary feel!
Can't find The Extraordinary anywhere though, unfortunately.
