Why so much hype?

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

When you watch Scream, even after all these years, it's has a slickness which hasn't dated, by comparison Final Scream looks and feels very dated, yes it was made back in the nineties, but it could have been filmed on a phone. Once you get past that you then notice the acting, it is for the most part wooden at best, with some performers definitely better then others. Now the story, I quite like it to be honest, of course it's one that's been done so many times, the mask and knife are straight out of Scream, but who cares, it's a B movie after all. So long as you aren't expecting much I think you could watch this, one or two moment of entertainment, but nothing more really. 4/10

Final Scream is like The Incredible Hulk's archenemy, an abomination. There is nothing else to call it without resorting to severe verbal abuse. Here are the reasons why it should've won numerous razzies.1) When I bought this in a shop, little over a year ago, I knew it was a cheap cash-in on 'Scream'. What I didn't expect was that the film was so cheap that it's whole budget could've been made on the £1 I bought it for. The sets are minimal and bland looking. The killer's mask looks like something out of children's show 'Art Attack'. The acting is terrible. The writing is cliché riddled and the killer's identity is frankly obvious within the first 10 minutes. Also its advised that if anyone does watch it and suffer from migraines or severe seizures then skip the opening titles as the screen gets VERY BLURRY.2) Another thing is that when the murders happen, you can't see a thing. In other words you might as well close your eyes. I did that and tried counting sheep jumping a fence. Trust me this is a cheap cash-in of the 'Scream' franchise. A franchise it bears no resemblance to in all but word.

OK! Quick plot synopsis! Hero guy has odd dreams. Heroine (his Girlfriend) is invited to a party that is being hosted by her sister. Sister is planning up to fake a murder mystery party. Real murders happen. Thats the plot. :) Paper thin ain't it? Anyway onto the characters. We have Charlie the hero who spends most of the movie hiding around the house. We have Angela the whiny Heroine who I couldn't give two shits about because of her total dullness. Then we have Kristen (The only good credible person in this movie) who trys to make the film good and spits out some wicked one liners. Then there is Julie, the supposed slut/bitch character but in the end she just comes off as plain, boring and quite useless. We have Patrick the Jock who (to be honest) looks nice but is also plain and boring. There are also many other different characters who do this same 'Plain, boring and annoying' routine.Think I've finished slagging it off? Nope! Then there is the awful camera work and lighting which manages to make everything that was supposed to be exciting (Such as the killer running after Angela) boring and dull with everything shrouded in thick blackness.Then we have the awful script. The basis (as I have said) is paper thin. The characters seem to constantly spit out extremely poor attempts at making jokes about other horror films that are much much better. The various stalk scenes seem to last an eternity (The starting scene is very long and very boring with our hero character going 'whos there?' at every camera flick) Various characters (Such as the three thugs) turn up for little or no reason other to add to the body-count.Talking about body-count though even though its supposedly quite high there is very little blood in the film. Most of the deaths are seen for a second and then the awkward camera pans away. even when blood is used it seems to defy gravity and splatter everywhere in a stupid way (since when did getting stabbed in the back with a small knife make a blood spray on the face??) Basically in short leave this movie alone!Good Points - Umm. Can be used as a novelty coasterBad points - Everything

Once again David D. brings his own special brand of homo teasing into his work. I say that because it is clear that homo erotic elements are not really present in this film. Certainly not like David's past endeavors, Brotherhood, Voodoo Acadeny et, al. None-the-less in smaller doses it's all David. We are treated to one hunky stud in his FTLS and a brief (no pun intended) conversation between two other hunks in the eleventh hour of the script. A conversation I might add that if fully explored might have made this a different, albeit, better film. The Parker Posey look alike Antagonist hosts "April Fool's Day" on property a zillion miles away from civilization. Okay. It's probably Friday the 13th too. Actors are hired to propel a weak scheme that our host wants to develop a "mystery murder weekend" service. Everyone's in on the gag but her sweet sister (there's a hint of sibling problems) and host's ex-boyfriend who is now sweet sister's sweetheart. But wait just when you think Host wants to doom sister, a second possibility is hinted at in a conversation about between the ex-boyfriend and one of the many gay men at the party. Seems those two men had a thing for each at one time. Hmmmm. I've overused the word hint. And that's the problem with the entire movie -- it only hints at things. Even at the end it hints that there is more information lurking beneath the surface of these shallow characters. But only a hint. As if someone didn't want to commit to a harder edged plot line and instead just hints at what should be fully explained. Like Japanese food, an hour after eating, you can't quite remember what it was you ate, and this movie leaves you empty by its conclusion, thirsting for more than just a hint of plot, motivations and character development.And lastly, David, can't you give us a male butt shot once in a while.
