This film felt like a facility for Williamson to desperately cling onto the successes of his past. Most of his films are of the horror variety, so it’s obviously not as if Williamson was a one-hit-wonder with regard to the original Scream. But this film in particular paled so much in comparison to his other projects of this genre that it sticks out...
Starring Helen Mirren, Katie Holmes, and Jeffrey Tambor, this was actually Kevin Williamson’s directorial debut. And there’s a reason it was his last. With a horrific approval rating of 19% on Rotten Tomatoes, this teen comedy/thriller is just slightly better than the previous entry. And while he might have struck out at the plate with Cursed, this...
With another slasher film in I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), it’s clear that Williamson prefers the subgenre that got him to the dance. Of course, this is among his weaker horror films, but it is also among his most popular — in spite of a 44% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I Know What You Did Last Summer had tremendous box office resu...
With a premise that’s sure to hit home with any science fiction fanatics, The Faculty (1998) is still very much a horror movie, albeit with added extra-terrestrial elements. And director Robert Rodriguez nearly executed the script in great fashion. However, things fell just barely short of being able to classify this among the best of Williamson’s ...
Everyone knows the characters herein: Sidney Prescott (played by Neve Campbell), Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox), and Dewey Riley (David Arquette). Of course, there’s also the kill-crazed primary antagonist: Ghostface. The villain has been played by numerous actors throughout the years, as different characters from each entry choose to don the cloak a...
His most recent project, Sick (2022) is another slasher film that premiered on September 11, 2022, at the Toronto International Film Festival and was subsequently released on the streaming service Peacock on January 13, 2023. Director John Hyams had dabbled in the horror genre before — just two years prior, in fact, with Alone (2020) — and received...
Directed by Wes Craven, this was perhaps a more adequate follow-up than anyone would have expected after the original’s success. Until Scream 4 (2011) materialized over a decade later, it seemed Scream 2 (1997) was destined to go down as the final film that held any semblance of quality within the fan-favorite slasher franchise. Picking up just a c...
Again, and obviously, this was directed by Wes Craven. That should be gotten out of the way, considering this is perhaps his most famous project — either this, or A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984), which is endlessly referenced in this first entry of Scream. This was a resurgence for Craven’s career since he hadn’t released a film of true quality in...
