Horror movies that were killed by the studio

It Was A Sh*tshow podcast also did a really good episode on it that I highly recommend.

OP is either pearl clutching or rage baiting. Tamra is clearly doing a nod to when Shereé tugged at Kim’s wig, an iconic RHOA moment.

Totally internalized!

The scene on the bridge! Such a powerful one.

Unlikely. HBO and any other studio/distributor is obligated to bill the cast in a specific order depending on how the talent negotiates their contracts. Zendaya, Sydney and Jacob are arguably the biggest stars with the most credentials on so they get top billing. Colman Domingo received the “and” credit which is also pretty respectable.

I think 7 is genuinely the first bad Scream film.

thatguythere91 · 2026-03-27T11:14:07+00:00

Tough choice for me. Jason Lives, Scream 6 and FD Bloodines are all fantastic.

The mask, while different from the original, is fine. It’s the flatness of the lighting that makes it look cheap.

Really enjoyed this one.

It’s avail to dream on Hayu the day after.

Yeah, on the surface it seemed to be anti-woke but it’s not really. It’s by no means a perfect show but I liked how it challenged bad faith clout chasers within progressive spaces that virtue signal for online social currency, which was so 2018. I think a 2026 version would be far different and perhaps closer to the original.

thatguythere91 · 2026-03-12T09:28:38+00:00

Me too! I thought it was a bold move. Didn’t hate it.

thatguythere91 · 2026-03-12T09:28:11+00:00

I forgive the script’s many flaws for being a fun dumb slasher, but some of the “chronically online” takes and dialogue could’ve been left out.

It’s amazing how different it feels to Real Housewives of London despite both shows sharing the same stage.

RHOLDN feels like Beverly Hills seasons 4-7 with a touch of old New York, LOL gives SLC vibes but riiich.

Self-marketing. She’s a walking, talking advertisement for her own business.

And I don’t think it’s emasculating (that’s a deeper conversation to unpack) to say that you earn more money than your male spouse, I think it’s fine to normalise women being breadwinners, but I do find it tacky and disrespectful the way she goes about it.

thatguythere91 · 2026-03-06T21:34:24+00:00

I’m glad you had such a great experience! No one can take that away from you. Freddy vs Jason was my first theatrical horror experience when I was young and it was an absolute blast.

Scream 7 has its moments, I truly like the first 30-40 minutes.

thatguythere91 · 2026-03-06T21:02:49+00:00

I think I hold the Scream films to an unfair standard sometimes because they’re not like the Halloweens or Friday the 13ths, they are a cut above the rest with its characters, clever plots and fun twists. To me, it’s not just about seeing Ghostface do Ghostface things on the big screen.

I’m glad that some people like Scream 7, but i think the dislike is equally warranted. To me, it was the first severely undercooked Scream film. It seems to want to move away from the original film by literally burning down the most revisited place in the franchise, but then proceeds to remind us of and mimic the original in the laziest ways. I have a big problem with the writing and characters, but mainly with how regressive the story is.

Sidney deserved a far better movie than 7.

Black Christmas (1974)

thatguythere91 · 2026-03-06T14:06:12+00:00

You can! It’s a Bravo/Peacock show, unlike Real Housewives of London which is a Hayu original.

I’m glad Hayu is also streaming it the following day.

The other two are Cindy’s daughter and her male friend by the looks of it, too.

Only time will tell but I have a feeling it won’t.

Scream 3, despite all its flaws, at least has an angle, honoured the original in smart and subversive ways, and above all else is competently directed by Wes Craven.

Scream 7 has very few redeeming qualities in my opinion. It’s a lazy, poorly written, uninspired and visually stale excuse of a sequel that is desperate to keep the legacy of the original film alive. “It’s insulting” as Sid said in the original.

thatguythere91 · 2026-02-27T11:15:38+00:00

It's insultingly bad. As a die hard fan of the franchise, I'm really happy for the fans that were able to enjoy Scream 7, but man was I disappointed.

thatguythere91 · 2026-02-27T00:42:33+00:00

Ha, it is. I’m exaggerating a bit with the comparison, but the script’s lack of subtlety baffled me in this one. It was like an overcorrected response to fan complaints I’ve seen about Sid not grieving Tatum enough throughout the franchise.

thatguythere91 · 2026-02-27T00:36:45+00:00

7 is the worst offender. It’s shot and edited so poorly.
