MTV Scream Review

You know, being a fan of the original film (one of  the films that inspired me to make my own films as a kid) I was curious to see what MTV did with the series.

Boy, was I disappointed. Nothing to do with the movies, they have a new mask and it's the same old stuff done in this generation with the exception of the bi curious film geek, high school students sleeping with teachers social media and texting. In this episode, Nina Patterson is brutally murder in the small town of Lakewood after cyber bulling another student. the shocking violence stirs up memories of a killing spree from twenty years earlier that has haunted some, intrigued others and maybe just inspired a new killer. Just like the first 1st movie, no black characters, the opening scene is just like the opening scene of the first film but instead of being of the phone, she's texting her killer.

Reminds me of scream 4 without the original connecting storyline. Felt like I was reading an R.L stone fear street.  Scream is a good fit for MTV.. They always thrive for the young audience.. It's not for millennials like me or for anyone age 21-35 who grew up on the franchise. This is for Centennials. It fits up there with their teen wolf series (another adaption I don't watch).. I wonder how long until twilight or Friday the 13th becomes a mtv series

 Looks like there will be 1 murder an episode so if you in it for the gore and violence like the films.. You might as well order them on DVD. 

This show is nothing but romance, drama and a bit of mystery & suspense... at a teenage level. I for one won't be watching this show.. I can't take 540 minutes more of this
