I don't believe, the reason to why companies and producers wanted to follow the example of Se7en was that the film inspired them enormously on an artistic level, but just as with Scream they saw something, for the business relatively different, that made a **** load of money. What I think Scream brought to the genre was the irony and the mix between slasher and comedy. I also think it appealed to a wide range of people because of its references to 70s and 80s horror/slasher films as well as being something seemingly fresh for the younger generation. Again, as with Se7en, I think this kind of movie is typical for the age we live in where presentation is more important than content. But where Se7en commented on that (this) age, Scream is a product of it. It's not a film about reality and it's not depicting our world. It's more like a film about film with characters representing or symbolizing other characters from the world of film...

This is why I have to play catch-up on so many movies I should have already seen.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

Pidd, I advise you to get the lastest mojo magazine (if you can get hold of it). It's an Ian Curtis special.
