So, 'Scary Movies' from '97 is this intriguing film that tries to tackle some pretty heavy themes, like race and community division, all through the lens of a boy obsessed with horror flicks. The tone is a mix of innocence and tension, as you really feel the protagonist's struggle against societal norms. Pacing is a bit uneven, but it kind of works, adding to that off-kilter feel of the boy's journey. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a certain charm to the horror vibe. And the performances – some are quite raw and authentic, really capturing the essence of that youthful obsession with fear. It's distinctive in how it blends drama with a horror-loving spirit, making it a curious watch.
