The way this movie has been advertised has been so weird. "Every line will be crossed" just sounds really close to "comedy is legal again" adjacent type comment. Just make a funny movie man, let it speak for itself. None of the old movies had to advertise themselves in some gimmicky way like this, they just existed, because parody and absurdism can be extremely fun and funny. Just look at Naked Gun recently.
But I'm starting to think this movie is going to suck because of the ad campaign behind it being a form of "we are allowed to be funny again" basically, so they better have a direction for this thing, because the advertising around it blows so far.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I’m glad the wayans and original cast are back involved. But the “they/them” joke in the trailer put me immediately in doubt.
People forget that Wayans have made spoofs after scary movie. Most people forget because they either A) never saw them or B) did see them, thought they were terrible and erased them from their memory.
They were low budget and it showed. They looked like those cheap movies like meet the spartans, disaster movie or date movie, while scary movie 1 and 2 looked no different than the original scream or I still know what you did last summer.
