I grew up watching things like Tales From the Darkside, Freddy's Nightmares, and Masters of Horror; so while I get why some people don't care for this show compared to American Horror Stories, and they are for sure doing some comparing there, if you were interested in those shows, this is the one for you. They aren't elite writing, probably never going to win an Emmy, but they are fun, and they have enough scares to be worth the watch. Some of the people on this thread seem to be upset about the fact that they are not high brow horror, but does everything need to be these days? Can we not just have fun, silly, camp horror and love it for what it is?

I saw this movie when it came out, and I have always been baffled by people not liking it. Arnold's willingness to make fun of action movie tropes seems to have gone over some people's heads but it is fun to watch. Genuinely fun to watch.

One of my friends described this movie like watching a Stab film when you expected to watch a Scream film. That sums it up. There are ridiculous premises, math that doesn't add up, and at times it almost feels like the movie is calling itself out for being bad... Most of the new cast members are... not great actors and none of them have the same sort of friendly dialogue that the previous films "teen" cast had. I was actually laughing out loud during scenes that were meant to be scary/intense because the writing/feel was so bad. I really enjoyed Ready or Not so this disappointed on many levels, both as an homage to the Original Scream, and as a follow up to the directors' previous horror film.
