UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
gridoon2018 "Scream Queens" is one of the three 2015-2016 attempts to make a slasher TV series; the others are "Slasher" and "Scream". None of them are quite as good as 2009's "Harper's Island", at least in their first seasons, but they all have their strengths. If "Slasher" was the most serious one (95% horror, 5% comedy) and "Scream" was self-aware in the manner of the movies (50% horror, 50% comedy), "Scream Queens" is their most openly satirical, sometimes even cartoonish cousin (30% horror, 70% comedy). Its satire of the popularity-obsessed social-media culture is spot-on, even if after three-four episodes you may get the feeling that it keeps making the same satirical points over and over; it does get excessively talky (and pop-reference-heavy) on occasion. But it does have an intricate, labyrinthine plot which is tied up in a neat little bundle by the end of the first season. The casting is excellent (Emma Roberts is brilliantly sarcastic, Skylar Samuels is really beautiful, Bilie Lourd has a great deep voice, "Chad" the stud and "Denise" the security officer-cum-chief of police are very funny, etc.), and the soundtrack features a superb collection of classic pop hits. *** out of 4.
SnoopyStyle Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts) is the self-obsessed arrogant queen bee leading Kappa Kappa Tau at Wallace University. She can't bother to remember and names her minions all Chanel; Chanel #2 (Ariana Grande), Chanel #3 (Billie Lourd), and Chanel #5 (Abigail Breslin). Twenty years earlier, there was a surprise birth and death at the sorority. Cathy Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis) is the new dean. She tries to revoke the sorority but ends up opening pledging to all students. Various girls apply including Grace Gardner (Skyler Samuels) and Zayday Williams (Keke Palmer). As Chanel tries to drive out the new girls, somebody dressed as the Red Devil starts killing them. The second season has Munsch running a hospital which is haunted by new serial killer, the Green Meanie.I love the Chanel on Chanel emotional violence. Emma Roberts' constant put down of Abigail Breslin is hilarious. The mystery part is less compelling. It becomes a series of killings without any rooting interest. Any investigation is just a bunch of random twists and dead ends. At its best, it's a fun skewering of the horror genre. At its worst, it's a boring meandering random murder mystery. Through it all, there is the irreverent Ryan Murphy brand of humor.
M. K. Needed something to watch and this show came up. Didn't expect it to be THIS good, but after all I do find Scary Movies and such movies entertaining. This isn't scary, but it sure is ridiculously over the top at times in a funny way and I really like it. 80's music also fits well! Casting is mostly spot-on. One, probably stupid thing, that is annoying me is how Skyler Samuels pronounces 'something' as 'somethink'. Also most actors say 'other THEN' instead 'other than'... A very small, but irritating thing for me. Otherwise, it's a nice show and I hope it gets many seasons.
tooti_too I love watching this show. At first I did not want to watch it because I was not crazy about any of the actresses except for JLC. But I soon became addicted to this show's wit. I am currently re-watching repeats before season 2 premiers. This is one of the few shows that has me laughing out loud. I love all of the characters. They are just so darn funny. Chanel #1 is so darn over the top at all times; it's so funny. Niecey Nash is also hilarious. One of the best shows on t.v., so happy it was renewed. I'm not crazy about the murders because I am actually kind of a scary cat so I have to look away at times. But the comedy keeps me hooked.
