Notes

My quick rating - 5,5/10. I will say I was expecting more from this. It did a decent job of emulating "Scream" but as far as really giving you that nostalgic 90s feel, it missed the mark quite a bit. Sure AOL chat on a dinosaur of a computer was nice, but as far as the characters? Completely off in hairstyle, clothes, etc. They did manage to throw a TON of music at you from the 90s, so grab the soundtrack if you need a mix tape. Well, minus one gripe there, Firestarter by Prodigy came out in 1996....OOPS. The start really had my hopes up, even if it was literally a complete carbon copy of how "Scream" began. After that it somewhat rolls downhill though introducing you to characters who I personally couldn't get behind living or not, minus one, the nerd (Benjamin Flores Jr.) The movie is paced well enough though and does through some creative gore kills your way, I am just unsure about the three parter running out of chronological order. Guess time will tell about how that works its way out. At least they were someone unforgiving about the teen cast and the usual let everyone live you would get in the other half that this movie is spawned from "Stranger Things" It is clearly evident those two were the main inspirations here and this doesn't quite live up to either of them. It also is not a disaster in the slightest. This doesn't reinvent the genre nor did it take me back to the 90s slashers either and that is why I may be a bit down. I expected either one or the other and got neither. I'll still be checking out the rest and as of now, part two is available. I am just really hoping this isn't the highlight of the bunch.
