I found The Greenskeeper on one of those 20 horror movies dvds and I'm glad to see someone cover it! I liked it when I was younger but I don't think it holds up haha. Another great video!!!
I can't wait for the end to comment ... the boat in Hack! is called Orca. And the professor in Smiley is in Hostel:Part Two, according to Wikipedia. I'm sure I read a horror novel in the late 1980s/early 1990s with a similar premise ... I thought it was by John Saul but the closest I can find is Brain Child. Some of these sound quite good ...

I even remember she named the cat 'Hecuba'. Edit: And I had to check out something when you mentioned Steve Railsback there.

@@movietimelines You're not wrong. I actually think Life Force is pretty good for what it is. Disturbing Behavior, I really liked when I was 17 but as the years have gone on it's definitely not one of my favorite horror movies of the era. I think The Faculty did the concept better.

Oh my god in the early 2000s me and my buddies were actual greenskeepers and we watched The Greenskeeper all the time! A fave late night drunk/stoned movie!
R.s.v.p is an awesome movie, I don't think it's a rip off of scream more then it's a story about leoplod and loerd murders and the killer trying to pull off the perfect murder and get away with it unlike the did. Yes the fact it has the guy who plays Jay from Jay and silent bob and Glenn Quinn who did play doyle on season 1 of the wb angel which I thought made it super cool. I was really sad when Glenn guinn died bc he was awesome on both Roseanna and angel as well as this movie. I honestly liked this movie alot but I'm glad it gets some recognition bc I have never seen anyone in you tube talk about it before even if it's on a rip off list of another movie it's still awesome you talked about it.
Well this video just answered a mystery that's been in my brain for over a decade. I remembered seeing part of I've Been Waiting For You on TV years ago and I could never remember what it was called.
That uncredited cop-- wasn't he a cop in Freddy Vs. Jason? The one who said something along the lines of "The Scooby-mobile out front isn't exactly subtle."? 🤔
There was lots of Scream inspired or knock offs from 1997 to 2003. I know What You Did Last Summer (1997) Urban Legend (1998) Valentine (2001) Cherry Falls (2000) Do You Wanna Know A Secret? (2001) I’ve Been Waiting For You (1998) Wishcraft (2002) Ripper (2001) The Clown At Midnight (1998) Lovers Lane (1999) Final Stab (2001) Cut (2000) Slash (2002) Not Slashers but was still heavily inspired by Scream Final Destination (2000) Disturbing Behaviour (1998) The Faculty (1998) Soul Survivors (2001) And other franchises being revived because of Scream and also influenced by Scream, Halloween H20 (1998) Jason X (2001) Bride Of Chucky (1998)
@@System_Sega well 1. It was heavily marketed with the cast on the poster and dvd artwork, which is very Scream. 2. Just the feel of the movie with all a cast of actors from that era, Sean William Scott etc. The story obviously wasn’t inspired by Scream it was just the marketing. Every Teen Horror movie from 1997 to 2003 had to be marketed like Scream. *A focus on the hip and in trend young cast *Making sure you’ve got a cast member (s) from Buffy, Angel, Friends, Charmed, Sabrina, Dawson’s Creek, American Pie, or Party Of Five *Characters using movie references *Teen angst drama *A Nu-Metal or Post Grunge soundtrack and a music video vibe to the movie. *A Blue colour palate to the movie *focusing on underage sex is a sin and sex = death (though that’s a very traditional horror trope) *Subliminal Rape references when it comes to slasher movies, like the phallic looking knife goes through the females womb/stomach (though again that’s also a very traditional horror trope)
This is the first time of me hearing about any of these movies. I'm hoping one day for a video about the top 10 Grudge and the top 10 ring ripoff movies.
Okay, so Dead Tones, aka 7eventy 5ive. It's Closer to Urban Legends, even copying the killer's look, but I'd still say it counts. The original 7eventy 5ive poster even resembles the Scream cover.
I was sure last year Sick was gonna be featured on this list!!!! A movie which has the distinction of having the original writer from the Scream franchise and even being produced by Miramax ( in fact, many claim Kevin Williamson wrote the script of that movie as a "retaliation" for having been left out of the more recent Scream films)
The Curve has the legendary Bo Dietl as the heavy cop. It's worth watching just for him alone. Btw, I never lumped Disturbing Behavior in with Scream ripoffs; I always thought of it more in the category of The Faculty. The comparisons are much closer. Sort of a Stepford kids meets Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.
Funnily, Lifeforce cost ten million more than Disturbing Behavior. I guess it's expensive to get an actress to appear nude throughout the entirety of a mainstream film.
I still haven't seen Smiley, I downloaded it when it came out because I liked the premise and the poster but I saw nothing but hate and bile thrown at for months and just never bothered watching it, it completely put me off and God if Josh thinks it's crap, I'm definitely not watching it lol. I think I'll delete it from my External HD to free up some space :)
I've Been Waiting for You also stars Neve Campbell's brother. You can't get any more Scream ripoff than that. Lol. I still own it on DVD it's not terrible
SMILEY is easily one of the worst slasher movies I've ever seen. If they'd turned it around at the very end and made it supernatural after all, I might have bought into it. I think my biggest fear going into SCREAM 6 is that it will be like SMILEY.
Having never seen Scream (I just have zero interest in it) and only know the one phone call scene, I often wonder how it would've went if she said "My favorite horror movies are classic Universal ones like Dracula. Slashers are so BORING!"
If ghostface asked me, I would have said "Giallos, like red queen kills seven times. American Slashers basically ripped off the Giallo genre as that genre came first."

“There’s someone inside your house” should have made the list maybe next time
Isn't Disturbing Behavior a teen-centered knock off of the Stepford Wives?
Interesting list. I did find Disturbing Behavior to be good

Suppose when you redefine the entire genre for decades to come, some imitation shows success more than anything
Disturbing Behavior is far better than Scream in my unpopular opinion.
