Truth be told I think a few in my present section are on the cusp of entering the historical category. 😢
Radio Silence (directors of Scream V, VI and Abigail) seem fond of her. I wouldn't be surprised if they cast her in their next movie too or if they get her a role in the possible Ready or Not sequel that seems to be in the works. They could be her saving grace.
She has another horror movie coming out soon. Your Monster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Your_Monster
If her career stumbles I'm sure some low budget horror flicks would love to cast the lead of the recent Scream movies. It'll not be A-list but she can make a living from phoning it in on low budget genre work.
I watched it for the first time recently, doing a watch through of Paul Feig's movies, and it was the worst of the four I saw. The others being Bridesmaids (2011), The Heat (2013) and Spy (2015).
I think a big part of the problem is the fact it was PG13. Melissa McCarthy was leashed, I know many don't like her but I've found her funny in several movies but she absolutely works best with crude comedy. Also the supporting cast wasn't that great. I liked Hemsworth in the movie in his small role and Kristen Wiig is always decent but in Feig's other movies Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids and Spy) and Sandra Bullock (The Heat) did some heavy lifting and worked well with McCarthy.
An R rated Ghosbusters with McCarthy, Wiig, Byrne & Bullock would have been great.
It was in theatres on 08th December but won't get any other type of release (digital, home media) till 25th June?
Pfft. They can go and fuck themselves.
Hemorrhoids is better than this.
People love celebrating older stuff, many movies basically age into 'classic'/'masterpiece' status even though they were just teen flicks or dumb fun back in their day.
You'll see people talk up The Evil Dead as if it's some masterpiece when it's just low budget splatter in the woods. It's entire reputation was built on VHS rentals due to it's gore. Many diehard fans of the franchise love it for the slapstick comedy which wasn't even present in the first!
Halloween is just a man in a mask with no motive stalking and stabbing shithead teens but since it was a box office hit, has cool music and is influential it's considered some high art above reproach. It's a fun slasher but some will talk like it's a flawless masterpiece that is leagues better than any horror released in the 21st century.
Friday the 13th is my joint favorite franchise of all time (alongside The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) but it's always just been tits-and-stabbings. It's a simple formula, I like it, I ask for nothing more on a drunken night but anyone trying to prop them up is being silly. You watch it for the atmosphere, the women and the kills. It's certainly not 'elevated horror', a term which I don't like.
On the original F13. It's always getting voted into the greatest horror movies of all time lists, that's probably just because people are using it as a token vote for the entire franchise. From my years of being a F13 fan I know that the fanbase prefers parts 2, 4 & 6 above all. Those three are consistently voted as the best in the franchise by the franchises diehard fans, so for me it makes no sense for the original to always be getting voted into best of lists ahead of other entries.
When voting for best ever movies people put a lot of credence on stuff like iconic status. That's why your big American franchise efforts get more votes ahead of, say, Italian giallo movies or non-franchise slashers (The Burning, My Bloody Valentine). It's a popularity contest basically.
Doctor Sleep (2019) - 9/10
M3GAN (2022) - 7.5/10
Black Widow (2021) - 6.5/10
The couple making love getting speared to death in Friday the 13th Part II (1981) has often been called a shameless copycat of a kill in this. I would have agreed and maybe still do but My Bloody Valentine (1981) has a couple get screwed/drilled (it happens off screen if I recall correctly)... perhaps great minds just think alike.
Also this movie has a great skinnydipping scene. That became a slasher-in-the-woods staple. Friday the 13th did it several times throughout the franchise and The Burning (1981) too.
My top 5 Mario Bava movies;
1) Blood and Black Lace (1964)
2) Black Sunday (1960)
3) A Bay of Blood (1971)
4) Black Sabbath (1963)
5) Lisa and the Devil (1973)
