Clevercell Very disappointing...

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Coventry Let's talk about wasted potential, shall we? Because Byron Quisenberry's "Scream" is one early '80s slasher that literally bulks with great potential and possibilities, yet it somehow ended up as one of the absolute worst genre films of the entire decade; - and that means quite a lot since we all know there was so much junk made in the eighties! Everything starts out promising, and the prologue sequences – with eerie and blood-soaked wooden marionettes of which the eyes spookily move – even had me wonder for a second that I encountered a genuine hidden horror gem. Subsequently, the setting and introduction of the characters are also very interesting. We meet a group of people on a rafting trip somewhere in Texas, and for once they're not horny teenagers on a camping trip or sorority sisters during a college initiation night, but fairly normal and middle-aged people. Unless I missed something, we never even find out what their connection is. Are they friends, colleagues or complete strangers that just individually signed up for a rafting trip? I think the latter, as I did the same thing once when I participated in a rafting trip on the Colorado River in the state of Utah. Anyway, night falls and the group sets up camp in a ghost town by the side of the river. You'd expect a tense and atmospheric slasher feast from here onwards, but this is where things start to go horribly wrong. There's a killer wandering about in the abandoned little town and the number of survivors quickly decreases, but as a viewer you actually haven't got the slightest idea what is going on. Everything is dark and blurry, the characters are unidentifiable and the murders either occur off-screen or in a dull and bloodless fashion. It's fairly obvious that the killer shouldn't be sought among the group members, but there's a lame attempt to link the murders to a kind of folklore myth about a vengeful sea captain. Or something like that, at least, I have to admit that I dozed off a couple of times already at this point in the movie. Fact remains that "Scream" has an intolerably slow pacing and severely lacks in the blood, gore and sleaze department. In the trivia section, there's a little anecdote that states: "Director Byron Quisenberry did not give his actors the ending to the script". Personally I think he didn't even have an ending for his script. In fact, he probably never even had a script to begin with

thevirginiareel-643-149084 I have to agree with the other reviews. And I LIKE bad horror. I especially get a kick out of bad 70's and 80's horror. I will take The Mutilator, Slaughterhouse Rock, or Don't Go In the House any day! Ever seen Inn of the Damned? Yeah, it's a piece of dung, but nowhere near as bad as this. This movie has no plot, little dialogue, awful pacing, just boring as hell. The whole movie is like a power-outage, all dark and lanterns, and NOT scary. I don't need things spoon-fed to me, but the movie does not explain anything! Where did any of the characters come from? Where is this set? Why is everyone a useless wuss... oh wait, I guess that applies to most horror. But seriously, I was eagerly awaiting all these folks to die just so it would be over. One of the most infuriatingly inane movies I have ever seen. Don't do it.

steven_bash This Movie was outright awful. Everything about it sucked dick. Whether it was the acting, the lighting, the killings, the dialogue, etc. Everything about it was horrible. I thought Wes Craven's Scream was a stroke of Genius, but Byron Quisenberry should be buried alive without a coffin for making such crap. I really feel sorry for anyone who saw this movie, for it is really a hurtful sight to watch.The movie is about a group of hikers who stop into this ghost town where a killer looms. Throughout the movie, a variety of deaths take place, deaths that you can't even make out well because of poor lighting. The movie does have the viewer guessing on who is actually the killer and in the end, it's still somewhat vague on everything that went on. When it's all said and done, the movie also had me guessing on how I could even handle this entire crapfest of a movie. Probably the worst characteristic of the movie is the lighting. You can barely make out what's going on throughout the film. Especially when someone is killed, you can barely tell what's going on. This makes the movie bad in itself right here but it gets much worse as it goes along. The killer is never seen when he kills the characters one by one and trust me, at the end of the film, you'll be scratching your head. I know I did.

xxbadboyxx021 I am sorry but I have seen tons and I mean tons of bad movies before. You name it and I have probably seen it but this movie was pain old terrible. There are so many characters and they look actually the same you cant tell who is who and there is little diagolue I doubt they even had a scirpt. There is no plot. People are stuck on an island as people die. I love 80's slasher movies but I can't get over how bad this movie was. They really don't give any information on the killer and they don't really show any death scenes. I have watched this film 3 times because I could not get the point. I tryed to understand it but I just couldn't. I recommend you try to get this film so you know what I am talking about. After you see this movie email me and tell me what you think. Ifyou can sit through this whole movie strait without falling asleep I have tons of respect for you. 0* out of ****
