Memorable Quotes from Erik Knudsen
1 quoteThe Impact of Filming High School Experiences
Sidney
This... You film your entire high school experience, and, what, post it on the net?
Robbie
Everybody will be doing it some day.
Charlie
It's kind of the one component the killer is missing.
Gale
Wait, what do you mean?
Charlie
Well, if you wanna be the new, new version, the killer should be filming the murders.
Robbie
Yeah, it's like the natural next step in the psycho-slasher innovation. I mean, you film them all real-time, and before you get caught, you upload them into cyberspace.
Charlie
Making your art as immortal as you. Not to implicate him.
[''Speaking the same time as Robbie'']
Robbie
Not to implicate me.
[''Speaking simultaneously with Charlie'']
Sidney
So, who do you think is doing the murders?
Charlie
Well, it's a Stab fanatic, clearly. Working on less of a Shrequel and more of a Screamake.
Robbie Mercer
Copyright terms, by the way.
Charlie
Cause all there are now are remakes. Only horror studios green-light. I mean, there are still rules, but the rules have changed. The unexpected is the new cliche.
Robbie
Yeah, you gotta have an opening sequence that blows the doors off - gallop some music video direction and the kill's gotta be way more extreme.
Charlie
Modern audiences get sappy to the rules of the original. So, the reverse has become the new standard. In fact, the only sure-fire way to survive a modern horror movie, you pretty much gotta be gay.
[''Pause'']
Gale
So, why are you so sure that the killer is working by the rules of a horror remake?
Robbie
Well, the original Stab structure is pretty apparent.
Charlie
Yeah, two kids killed in a house when their parents are away?
Robbie
And, then the school's hot chick savage beyond recognition.
Charlie
We all know where it goes from there...?
Sidney
A party.
Charlie
Exactly. A party. Guaranteed third-act-main-cast bloodbath.
Robbie
Fingers crossed on some nudity for a change...
