Those In Cars

Those In Cars is a 1998 American Slasher Horror film written and directed by Kevin Williamson (marking his second directorial debut following Teaching Mrs. Tingle).

It was released theatrically on March 18th worldwide and grossed millions marking it as a succesful horror film to audiences but not only that but critics as well who praised the film as being not a wannabe attempt at creating a clever slasher film like Scream (to which Williamson wrote) but rather a highly intelligent schlock masterpiece of it's own attire.

The film was heavily parodied in the 2000 popular comedy Scary Movie (which happened to also parody Scream and Williamson' other popular 90's slasher film I Know What You Did Last Summer).

The gay killers and Ray and Bobby characters of Scary Movie are takes on intricale characters of this film.

The film features an ensemble cast of Jordana Brewster, Chad Michael Murray, Eric Bana, Liz Stauber (whom happened to portray a minor character in Scary Movie as well as minor character in Williamson's first directorial debut Teaching Mrs. Tingle.), David Carradine, Penelope Cruz, Topher Grace, Zoe Saldana, Jim Sturgess, Michelle Rodriquez, Trevor Donovan, Ray Liotta, Lorraine Bracco and James BeLushi.

Plot
To those of Blackmont High, Colorado death lies just around the corner.

A maniacal killer sets his sights on a group of cool car bearing youths whom all share a past obscenity.

It begins with the murder of a young couple whom were two members of the particular friendship circle and continues on in a pattern of brutal slayings until the shocking truth surfaces.

The leader of the group is not all he seems and is actually rather a closet homosexual engaged in a homosexual relationship with another member despite the fact they already currently possess girlfriends within the friendship circle.

They are out to eliminate all their friends and committ the perfect killing spree by framing it upon another and getting away with each other and their love.

However they do not count on another killer amongst their slayings.
