[center]'Scream' TV series: Wes Craven confirms he's been
approached

I dunno what it is about this news that I don't like. Is it
because they are bringing this to the TV screen or the fact that
MTV is producing it? This is a wait and see for me.

This just reeks as a bandwagon reaction by some suit at a
Network that looked at the success of The Walking Dead and Bates
Motel and decided to just grab another 'name' property and see
if it sticks as well. MTV overseeing this is gonna be bad. They
are notoriously cheap when it comes to budgets and I don't see
them caring much in the way of good product either.

I totally forgot about this thread and the fact that this was
being turned into a TV Series. I was watching Catfish when the
commercial came on and this is what they showed. It's riddled
with cliches, but then again, the horror genre itself thrives
off of that. This is still a wait a see for me, but the trailer
isn't winning me over.

Okay, I'm 3 weeks behind, but I finally got around to checking
out the first episode and it was....pretty good. Well, it was
much better than I thought it would be. This is Scream, so
expect a lot of familiar tropes to pop up during the series, as
evidence in the Pilot. It has the same character types that made
the movies work. The typical High School Queens, the Jocks and
even the Nerd that likes serial killers and also lays down what
the 'Rules' are for the TV Series. They even use the same
premise of the "Sins" of the Mother following her Daughter 20
years later. As I said, very familiar stuff here and yet, there
was enough in the first episode to make me want to stick around
for a while. Not really digging the new 'Ghost Face' killer
mask. The new mask is a more "realistic" take on the iconic
mask. With all that said, this Pilot felt more like I was
watching Friday the 13th because most of it was set near a lake
(all intentional). Very curious to see if MTV will have the
balls to push the gore factor of the show. If NBC can do it for
Hannibal, why not MTV?

I know not to expect much from the TV Series or MTV because I
know they aren't going to push the envelope here. It's gonna
come down to creating perfectly timed scare moments and that's
my one "issue" with the first two episodes so far. There aren't
any. Yet. Even if they never really deliver in the scare
department, which I'm one that doesn't scare easily at all, I'm
more concerned with the writers telling a good story and
shooting it in a solid way. So far, so good. As I said before,
it's all too familiar, knowing the "beats" and whatnot. But I'm
enjoying the series so far. With that out of the way, I will go
on record and say that the killer (or killers) will turn out to
be a chick just to differentiate from the films. The reason why
I alluded to two killers is that if one is a girl, then she
would need another person to stage the suicide hanging and
lifting a person is too heavy for one person. But two can easily
handle the job.

Binged-watched the last 3 episodes available and now it seems
like they are are auto-pilot already. I kind of expected it
given that they have to stretch this out for a full season, but
I was hopeful they would try to make an effort to do something
different with the genre and format. Anyway, some really awful
dialogue here and the way they are delivered by a couple of the
actors had me rolling my eyes in how bad it was. One thing that
I've always found to be funny (intentional or not) is how the
Slasher/Who Dunnit genre has a reliance on making EVERYONE bad
in some way so as not to tip off who the killer is. Watching
these 3 episodes was laughable in how hard they are making
everyone the potential killer. Episodes were entertaining
enough, but I found myself laughing when I should be jumping out
of my seat with terror. So far there hasn't been one scary
moment at all.

Meh. They are on autopilot right now, stretching this out for
how many episodes they have lined up. Still waiting for 1 scare
moment. I think having the series on a network like MTV is doing
more harm than good given how bloodless this is turning out to
be.

Finally something happens and boy, was it ever a doozy! But
before we get to that, most people seem to be raving that this
is the best episode yet for the series based purely on the final
15 minutes. Granted, it does redeem what has turned into a very
lackluster series. My biggest peeve with this episode and anyone
that says this is a perfect one is the first half hour. It had
some of the worst dialogue and acting scenes ever....especially
the scene with Brooke confronting her father about the
whereabouts of her mother. This was awful in every way
imaginable. This first half hour had me ready to write off the
show in spite of being so close to the goal line. But it's what
happens at the end where MTV finally pushes the envelope in a
way I never saw coming. It's the murder of Will that has
everyone talking...or to be more precise, the manner in the way
he goes. Getting chopped up by what looks like one of those dirt
grinder machines and basically having his body splatter
hamburger meat onto Emma's face, with her mouth wide open was
disgusting to say the least. You see bits and pieces of what was
once Will in Emma's mouth. Yuck. Now we don't actually see the
'grinding' as it was done off camera. MTV still has a long way
to go with what they are willing to show. But I will say this is
a start and may in fact give the series a shot in the arm that
it needs. Only 3 episode left, so I expect them to ramp this up
on the way to the Finale. Am I the only one that thinks that
Brandon James is Emma's real father, which is something I've
suspected all the way back to Episode 2 I believe.
