Scream 4 (2010)
Despite there being no Scream movies for a decade — and no Ghostface murders in the universe of the films — there had been tons of Stab films, to the point that they’d become a joke. Sidney (Neve Campbell) had moved on to write books. While the film skewers studios, the studio behind it — oh hello, […]
Scream 3 (2000)
Writer Kevin Williamson had created a five-page outline for two sequels to Scream when selling his original script, hoping that one film could become a franchise. Ehren Kruger, who wrote the American versions of The Ring threw out most of those notes. He’d finish script pages the day they were shot, which led to Wes Craven […]

Pervertissima (1972)
The gorgeous Françoise (Maelle Pertuzo, no relation to the Françoise in director Jean-Louis van Belle’s other film, The Lady Kills) has been hired by a tabloid to do a report on “Love in Paris.” That means that we’re treated to a mondo within a narrative film as she works as an exotic dancer, a prostitute and […]
The Lady Kills (1971)
Françoise Frémond (Carole Lebel, Two Weeks In September, The Golden Claws of the Cat Girl) is killing her way across Europe, leaving horrible men’s dead bodies behind. Keep in mind this movie was made before Ms. 45 or I Spit On Your Grave or even Thriller: A Cruel Picture and offers a similar blast of female revenge violence set to […]
I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006)
Despite the ending of the last film teasing you with another chapter in the lives of Julie James and Ray Bronson, the time between films was too long for everyone in the eight years between installments — and Sylvian White was brought in to replace original director Damon Santostefano (Bring It On Again, the Fangoria Scream […]
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)
Written by Trey Callaway instead of Kevin Williamson (who was busy with writing Dawson’s Creek, The Faculty, Halloween H20 and Scream 3 while directing Teaching Mrs. Tingle), this sequel takes the survivors of the first film — Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.) — and places their relationship in peril with Julie away at college and […]
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
Lois Duncan’s I Know What You Did Last Summer was first published in October 1973. Duncan wrote several books that featured young girls in trouble, including Summer of Fear, which was made into a TV movie directed by Wes Craven. She got the idea for the book when her daughter Kerry told her that she and […]
Werewolf Fever (2009)
