"In 1996, Scream outlined three simple rules to follow: 'Never have sex, never drink or do drugs, and never, under any circumstances, say, 'I'll be right back.' Why? Because you won't be back.'"
"The main character will die if she doesn't marry her soulmate by sundown on her wedding day. If she chooses to leave her significant other at the altar, the curse transfers to his family's bloodline instead."
"The fifth and final season of their own hit Netflix series featured multiple scenes wherein characters explained exactly what was about to happen using nearby household objects, making claims that Netflix asks creators to restate plot points for audiences scrolling on their phones that much more believable."
Horror films have evolved from simple rules like 'never have sex' and 'never say, I'll be right back' to complex narratives. The Netflix series Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen exemplifies this trend, featuring a curse that affects future generations based on marriage choices. The Duffer Brothers, known for Stranger Things, contribute to this complexity, reflecting a broader issue in contemporary horror where plots require more attention and understanding from viewers, often leading to confusion.
