Scream 3 (2000)
Scream 3: Suck-o-rama!
Scream 3. Like a lot of sequels, they tend to get worse as they progress in numbers, and the Scream trilogy is no exception! This movie was SO bad, I smacked myself across the face for thinking this one could actually try to pick up and try to redeem where the other horrible installment left off!! The words that come to mind...let's see...boring, rehashed, terrible script, predictable, annoying, and lastly UNSCARY. Hell, even my wife who jumps at the smallest little cheap scare in any movie, didn't even budge a muscle! The movie was a long, drawn-out convoluted mess, from start to finish. They totally abandoned the feel of the first movie, which made the first so good. The first one drew on the satire of horror movies, mocking them, and putting them into a real life perspective. That was the formula that worked, and why they didn't choose to extend that, is beyond me. When they tried, it just turned into rehashed sam-ol same-ol. The plot had so much going on, that they wanted you to think that it was some sort of Agatha Christy mystery-theater novel. Who cares? I don't, and certainly not the teeny boppers this movie was slated for. Drac's Decision: F
Mother's Day (1980)
Good Stuff
This film is certainly not for everybody, but it is actually so refreshing to see a movie that is done in this way. It is exploitation at it's finest. It is comedy at it's most tragic! A simple plot mixed with darn good acting, and impressive makeup effects...you really can't go wrong.
In my opinion, while still in the same vein as Last House on the Left and I Spit on your Grave, it is not as good. Spit being the best of the 3, but each of them has something to offer.
If you're not sure you can watch it, let me give you this scene as an example...one deranged man rapes a woman while his brother takes Kodak Polaroids, and their mother instructs them and leads them on...sound bad, yeah, but take it for what it is. Silly, odd disturbing nonsense. But it was more a "mood" movie, based around the characters and settings vs. the horror of rape and disturbing shots. This kind of horror sound like your thing? Then you're in luck, it's worth it.
