@CaseyExplosion I mean, Scream doesn't really get enough credit for being a seriously political horror film. Wes Craven was tired of the misogyny in horror movies, so he makes a send up of the conservative values in the genre tropes.

Wes Craven directed a movie where the villains were Reagan-parody landlords, the hero is a black kid trying to pay for his mother's healthcare, and it ends with him redistributing their wealth. Seriously, that's the plot. Don't tell me horror directors aren't political.

@Xonii @CaseyExplosion Writers don't get enough credit, but neither do all the parties involved in feature development. Every reader, every intern, everyone who made that such a perfectly tight screenplay deserves credit. And a director does oversee subsequent drafts, even if they do not write them.
