I might be completely off but I took the one glove in the US poster to signify that we are actually looking at the hands of two different people come together, which i think fits in well with the plot.

There was a really good book two years ago about paperback book covers and their contents called Paperbacks of the Damned and I really hope they eventually do one for VHS covers.

Everyone always forgets too that Europa Report has a legit cast, probably the best cast ever assembled for a found footage film. It goes a long way towards selling the audience on what's happening.

I would think it would have the opposite effect since unknown actors help sell the "authenticity" of it to the audience

also the best found footage horror film is Apollo 18, which had the most plausible and terrifying creature ever committed to the screen

My Way was released in September of 1997, so by 1998 when the Faculty came out he was HUGE. You Make Me Wanna... one of those songs that was just everywhere for months, played twice an hour on every radio station.

Oh let me explain, I got why he got such high billing. It was just amusing to me he was such a big part of advertising despite like two minutes of screentime

film pitch, three film school friends find a video tape while dumpster diving that appears to contain an actual murder. They decide to re-edit the tape as a found footage horror film. The film become a surprise hit, drawing the attention of a detective who believes the actress too closely resembles an actual missing person on his caselog, and the killer himself, who wants credit for his work

Scream is better movie than Hellraiser and it's not even close. Hellraiser is great and all but Scream is a nearly perfect movie.

Not sure how another Scream movie could work though - another continuation of Sydney's story would be dumb, a faithful remake would be unnecessary, and a reboot with different characters might as well just be a different film. Lots of life left in Hellraiser though I think.

I always found Scream just a little too on the nose myself.

That being said, I did like 4 a lot

What I liked about Scream 4 is that it establishes a reason for the narrative.

Like, the thing that always bugged me about Scream 1 was that there never seemed to be a reason for them to be following horror film rules. Like, its characters in a horror film who know they are in a horror film but there never seemed to be a context to why they would be examining their situation through that lens.

Scream 4 ties the "horror movie rules" in universe better by talking about how the killings are attempting to create a narrative of the original killings. And that the narrative is explicitly a product of the media of that universe.

I haven't seen it a while, so correct me if I'm wrong:

Isn't the whole reasoning for the killers in Scream using the horror film context because they're wanting both notoriety for the killings, but also anonymity? They're framing it in a context where everyone involved can say "Oh, it's like a movie!" to distract everyone from the actual culprit(s), so the killer can "vanish", and with it his 'movie' motive, instead of their real motive.

If that was the reason it's pretty dope and I like it but I missed that myself
