Yeah I can agree with Bob on this one- they seem to just make the movie for the heck of it rather then actually put thought into it. Honestly looks bad mainly because we can't get attached to the characters, thus like all the other Scream movies- the murderer has the same routine of messing with people and then just stabbing them with no creative way to end a person's life.. spite that it's a horror movie. But, horror movies don't have to be about killing people. Horror movies should be all about leaving you shaking from start to finish.
Have you seen
Scre4m? If this is a yes, then I'm surprised considering the fact that you seem to have a negative opinion of the other
Scream films. I'll assume you haven't seen it. In that case, how can you assume that you won't get attached to the characters? You haven't seen it, and are taking one person's view on it.
I'll give you an example of what I'm talking about.
Requiem for a Dream is a film where I didn't have much attachment to the characters. I know a couple of other people that absolutely adored every character in it, and it's for the same reason that we each feel that way. Conversely, in one of my favourite films,
Snow Angels, I felt for all of the characters, while others disliked or felt apathetic towards them. If you haven't seen the film, you have no way to tell if you'll care for them or not. Assumptions are not beneficial to anyone.
Secondly, from what I remember, the other
Scream movies
did have some creative kills. With the exception of
Scream 3, anyway. Now it seems to me like you didn't even see the first three
Scream films, and are, once again, mimicking MovieBob's opinion. If that isn't the case, I'll apologize, but that's what it seems like. Maybe they don't in this one, or the third one, but having a generalization of the entire series like that is unfair.
Third: Slasher flicks are not strictly speaking the same as horror ones. They do not necessarily have to be scary in order to be effective. You're right in stating that horror movies do not need to be "all about killing", but the
Scream series has never really been a horror series. The first two films were about satirising the slasher genre, while the third attempted to, and failed, to do the same. I can assume that the fourth in the series will continue the trend of
attempting satirising, and you can only find out if successful from seeing the film yourself. So yes, horror films should attempt to frighten, but since this series is not about doing so, your point is moot.
And now, for the second, more personal, part.

Also I am not sure why people are bashing on Bob for - he has strong beliefs and that is what makes Bob awesome. Just consider his words wisely and know he does this because it's right to him. Nothing wrong with it, and I certainly love watching his videos. SO good review Bob, I like how you're honest and I hope that little boy had became a big success in life
People are bashing MovieBob for a couple of reasons. He's insulted his audience, as seen in his review of
The Expendables; he's lied about facts, as seen in his
Green Zone review; and he often comes off as arrogant; and he also doesn't reply to feedback, or at least, hasn't in the cases I've seen/been a part of.
It's hard to "consider his words wisely" when he tells people that if they like
The Expendables, they are, and I quote, "probably the worst kind of person".
So that's part of the reason why I believe people are "bashing Bob". Other reasons would not count as "productive", and can't be stated on such a public forum.
