@gabagoolgretzky@Hartelli_clerk@CoreyAtad Obsession directly quotes Skinamarink’s finale in the bedroom sequence, even incorporating similar grain and makeup effects Ball used. Whether or not you like it doesn’t change the scope of its vision or influence.
@gabagoolgretzky@Hartelli_clerk@CoreyAtad The influence of Skinamarink is already palpable in the two top movies at the box office rn. It’s okay if you didn’t like it. It’s still a genuine masterpiece.
@MaximusThinkin@NoContextSpoof I think you think satire needs to be ridiculous, when it can also be subversive or deconstructive, or any number of other things. Scream is a an exemplary slasher that metatextually calls out and subverts the tropes of slasher movies to make its point.
@MaximusThinkin@NoContextSpoof It is very directly a satire. It being completely self aware is part of the satire. It doesn’t feel very satirical to you now, maybe, because almost every slasher movie since has played off this.
