I miss the comfortable, cluttered home interiors in movies like you could tell people lived there and even if things were tidied they weren’t sanitized. Nowadays movie and tv home interiors look like they double as the set for a lysol commercial….like who lives here?? Mr. Clean??
In scream (1996) it’s really evident in every home scene that people live there. Things aren’t overwhelmingly messy but there are the little messes here and there that build up over time as you rush through your day:
Even here at the desk you can see stacks of books and papers and a soda can, clear evidence of life:
Contrast this with scream 4 (2011), you get absolutely none of the same sense of home and daily life. Every room is styled like architectural digest is due to stop by any moment. The teenagers’ bedrooms are carefully placed, with no individuality, and their cars look freshly washed in every scene. Even as syd fights for her life, her surroundings are spotless:
In fact, directly contrasted to the original scream, every kitchen in scream 4 (and there are many) is spotless, with nothing out of place, so much so that jill has to purposefully wreck a lot of kirby’s house just to convince people there was a fight there (even though…there was).
This is the kitchen from scream:
And yeah, a lot of that can be blamed on the party, but there’s stuff on the counters, and dishes in the sink, like you would find in any normal kitchen on any average day of the week.
Now look at this kitchen in scream 4, supposedly also a normal kitchen, also on an average day of the week:
You cannot convince me someone actually lives there.
@set designers stop forgetting the clutter budget‼️‼️🗣🗣🗣

Happy anniversary to the best joke your parents ever made!
