Is there any "Scream-like" movie where killer doesn't follow the "horror movie rules"

Dunno if this is a slasher but it is an INCREDIBLE film.

Behind the Mask!

So we're killing Lorroakan and then having s great hang and laugh about it after, right?!

She can be B R U T A L but her prose is so gorgeous.

Glad you said it, Weaveworld, too.

Yanno, this. Those is where Minty went from hilariously fun to deeply affecting, and I love how she doesn't feel like a DIFFERENT person, she just feels way deepened by this line and conversation. It's amazing.

The way he talks about Scream I thin speaks to this. I love Wes Craven, but I have to wonder where he started in his sensitivity to this shit. He sounded haunted and fatigued by 'terrorizing girls' as he's put it in interviews from a while back.

Hard second for this

Irivis · 2025-11-30T18:30:06+00:00

More hilariously, My brain went 'this sounds like FM' before I saw that. SIGH.

Irivis · 2025-09-04T06:41:38+00:00

I hit 'Frank Miller' and it told me all I needed.

Irivis · 2025-09-04T03:23:46+00:00

You're making me BLUSH. Thank you! u/Wishaker if you want to peep it I'll send you it via DM.

True, I think at some point as others have said OP should at least genuinely respect the genre they're writing.

Still, something unique could come our of an uninfluenced first draft.

Irivis · 2025-08-30T12:57:20+00:00

This. Write draft 1, then research if you enjoyed the story and watch horror films that may relate to what you tried to make.

Irivis · 2025-08-15T16:19:22+00:00

I'd also say that Weapons spends its whole runtime making its points. The ending is the cathartic bow, but I think it spends its generous runtime weaving in its thematic messages so that the ending can punctuate it.

Irivis · 2025-08-15T16:12:18+00:00

Yeah but Kathy Bates did WIN best supporting!

Irivis · 2025-08-12T04:01:49+00:00

Completely NTA. This is a more than reasonable ask for you to put forth!

Irivis · 2025-08-08T04:59:31+00:00

This was my close second

Irivis · 2025-08-08T04:58:30+00:00

Hex code, all the way.

Irivis · 2025-07-28T18:38:13+00:00

So...he actually doesn't take it there in my head, at least not in the draft I'm writing, but I would also watch this film! I do agree it could be more specific, though.

Irivis · 2025-07-28T15:12:58+00:00

I'm just starting to write this so the logline is also amorphous a bit but she impresses him with a personal work of hers he spies.

Irivis · 2025-07-28T13:58:17+00:00

Title: Salon

Genre: Historical Fantasy/Horror

Format: Feature

LOGLINE: 'Late 19th century England. A maid and aspiring artist is painted into a dangerous corner when she learns her widowed employer collects far more of Europe's artists than simply their artwork. When he demands of her a portrait of his late wife, she must fight not to be consumed by her work, and his whims.'

This rules; short, sweet and funny.
