The other day I was watching the 2016 horror film Bediviled, despite the fact that it centers around modern technology- phone apps, Siri type programs, it felt like it could have come right out of the post-Scream 90's. So it got me to thinking about that era of horror films that came about because of the success of Scream.
I noted ones written by Kevin Williamson as he clearly was the main influence of this era.
These films seemed to die out after films like Saw and Hostel came about, though we got a few sequels here and there.
Scream, its followers, or similar style films:
Scream (1996) written by Kevin Williamson
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) written by Kevin Williamson
Scream 2 (1997) written by Kevin Williamson
Campfire Tales (1997)
Urban Legend (1998)
The Faculty (1998) written by Kevin Williamson
Disturbing Behavior (1998)
Halloween H20 (1998)
Bride Of Chucky (1998)
Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999) written by Kevin Williamson
Scream 3 (2000) Only film in the franchise not written by Williamson.
Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000)
Cherry Falls (2000)
Lovers Lane (2000)
Valentine (2001)
Soul Survivors (2001)
Do You Wanna Know a Secret? (2001)
The Pool (2001)
R.S.V.P. (2002)
The Craft (1996) This feels like it could have been inspired by Scream, but it was actually released several months before.
Little Witches (1996) I'd say inspired by The Craft.
The post Saw (2004) sequels:
The Pool 2 (2005)
Urban Legends: Bloody Mary (2005)
I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006)
Scream 4 (2011) Of these post-Saw sequels, I've only seen Scream 4, which I liked.
Ghosts of Goldfield (2007) Originally intended as a sequel to Urban Legends
Not sure?:
Cursed (2005) Haven't seen since its release, written by Williamson, directed by Craven, but I can't remember if it feels like their Scream films.
Venom (2005) From the same director as I Know What You Did Last Summer, but again, long time since I've seen it.
Feels like:
Sorority Row (2009) Maybe it's just me, but this felt like it could belong with all of the 90's Scream-style horror films.
Are there others?
I can recall seeing other film posters with the similar style to Scream and its like with all of the main cast crammed into the pic, but I can't recall the titles.
Are there any more recent films you've seen that feel like the films from the Scream era?
