Approximately Infinite Universe

With all the hype about another Scream movie this year (found myself enjoying the trailer) I decided to marathon them all over the weekend. Rewatched the first one today. I guess this is just a movie I'll never get the love for?
I understand that Craven was satirising slashers and horror tropes, but it seems like he inadvertently created a bunch of way more annoying trends with this one. Sterile thrillers with casts full of semi-talented actors known for shitty teen melodrama seemed to explode after Scream.
Anyways yeah I hate the whole cast, I hate the faux-clever horror meta (hur dur "Wes Carpenter"), I hate the exagerrated acting and I don't care what point Wes was trying to make with any of it. Was it on purpose to cast a bunch of almost-30-year-olds to play high school kids? No cool kills either.
I've never seen the sequels so hopefully I enjoy them more.
