UnowPriceless hyped garbage

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** Incredibly bad and totally bloodless, despite a person getting decapitated, slasher film that has a group of people stuck in this Texas ghost town being hunted down and murdered by an unknown and faceless psycho killer. It's only when this guy Sailor Charlie, Woody Strode, rode into town with his dog Brutus that we got some kind of clue in what was going on and who was the person doing all the killing. Up until then some half dozen people were murdered with the survivors having no idea who the killer is but why he has it in for them.It seems that the killer was once the Old Salt's, Charlie the Sailor, captain who went crazy after sailing the Cape of Good Horn for the 35th, a world record, time that finally freaked him out and turned him violent. After Sailor Charlie explained to the huddled survivors what exactly was gong on he and his dog Brutus disappeared from sight only to reappear in the end to put an end to the killer's madness. Why Charlie waited that long where the killer added some two more victims to his body count can only be explained in lengthening the movie to over 80 minutes so it can qualify as a feature film.Very uninteresting and one dimensional characters including Charlie the Sailor makes "Scream" one of the most boring and deadest, in putting its audience to sleep, of the many slasher movies that came out back in the 1970's & 1980's. So dead that if you were staring in it getting killed would be the only reason, forget about the money, to take the part so you wouldn't have to suffer through the entire movie.P.S It's reported in the IMDb that "Scream" made a whopping $1,023,000.00 in ticket sales after it's release on New Years Day 1981. I'd be surprised if it even cost as much as $10,000.00 to produce! And most of that going to actor and former San Francisco 49er running back Woody Strode who was in it for less then five minutes!

TheLittleSongbird The best and only real good thing about Scream is the creepy ghost town setting. Even with a very familiar concept, Scream could have been promising but was spoiled by terrible execution to the extent that important components were almost non-existent. The movie is very badly made from a visual standpoint, you can't enjoy the setting properly because the photography ranges between haphazard and indulgent the entire time and the movie is far too darkly lit that you cannot see what is going on properly or work out who's who and who's been killed. The music had its atmospheric moments, but that is a big emphasis on moments, much of it is pretty much one speed and mood which is ponderous and over-bearingly monotonous, doing nothing to enhance what's happening. The dialogue makes next to no sense and sounds very random and improvisatory, almost like an incomplete rough draft, while the execution of the story is most likely the worst thing about Scream, it starts bizarrely in an opening sequence so strange and almost irrelevant it makes the jaw drop. It's also completely predictable and moves at just one pace which is excruciatingly dull, it doesn't explain anything(the ending can't even be called an ending for reasons that have been covered in previous reviews who explain the movie's problems very well), there's no suspense, scares or fun whatsoever, and for a slasher the deaths and the gore are incredibly tame in a way that it doesn't feel like a horror in any way. The characters are underdeveloped ciphers and some of them, especially Lou, are irritating too(the most rootable is actually the unseen and never revealed killer), while the direction is barely competent and the acting is atrocious, the annoying Joe Allaine being the biggest offender, making the most bored-looking zombies imaginable seem more animated. Woody Strode is the least bad and has a decent introduction but that's not saying a lot, his character is far too weakly written for him to count as a saving grace. In conclusion, a real clunker, whether it's the worst slasher is debatable but it's down there. Not to be confused with the 1996 film of the same name which actually is a great film. 2/10 and that is only for the setting. Bethany Cox

bfan83 *POSSIBLE SPOILERS!* Don't get me wrong, I love bad movies. But this was just inexcusable. The entire film consists of long, continuous and pointless padding, a very undeveloped plot and horrendous acting by some of the most annoying characters to ever grace a slasher flick.The plot concerns a group of friends on a rafting trip down the Rio Grande River in West Texas. Inexplicably, they come across a deserted, old ghost town. During the night, a few of the friends are murdered by an unseen killer that we never get to see, even at the film's conclusion. The rest of the film consists of the remaining survivors yelling and bickering at each other, and trying to stay alive. Yet, they still wander off by themselves and are murdered by the unseen killer. The ending offers no resolution to who is doing the killing and why and half the cast survives which really irritated me.If you are a die-hard slasher fan, than yes seek this rare and (thankfully) forgotten slasher flick. For curiosity seekers, however, please avoid like the plague!

insomniac_rod First of all, this movie should only be seen by die hard slasher fans. And I mean, those who can stand almost 90 minutes of mediocrity, terrible cinematography, boring plot, and stupid characters. Yes, there is a "mysterious" killer but that isn't enough.The plot deals with a bunch of teen rafters that get lost in a Ghost Town. You don't need to know more because before we can understand what's going on; the characters start to get killed one by one in off-screen scenes! So don't expect a serious slasher flick.The locations weren't that bad, and actually, looked creepy at some points but the horrible cinematography ruins it all.I found a VHS copy of this crap some time ago and I can only say that it serves for historic purposes only. Otherwise, I don't see the point of watching it.
