MTV's Horror Movie Based on "My Super Sweet 16" Coming Soon

Just two months ago, I posted a two truths and a lie in which the three choices were a Soul Train movie, a movie inspired by Wheaties Cereal, and a horror movie based on MTV’s “My Super Sweet 16.”

The lie, of course, was the Wheaties movie, but 39 percent of you picked the MTV horror-movie version of “My Sweet 16” as the lie. I can assure you it is not. In fact, just a couple of months after the announcement, there’s already an airdate for My Super Pyscho Sweet 16. According to The Futon Critic, the two-hour film will premiere on MTV on October 23rd, the same day that Saw VI is released. Decisions, decisions.

Chris Zylka, Julianna Guill, Lauren McKnight and Matt Angel all star in the project, about a killer who crashes Madison Penrose’s (Guill) birthday bash at the Rollerdome, the site of several grisly murders a decade earlier. Jacob Gentry directed the film from a script by Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas.

Sounds absolutely dreadful. But then again, I’m strangely curious. Could it possibly be as bad as “My Super Sweet 16”? If it’s done right (and it won’t be), it could actually be enjoyable to see some entitled little brat and her douchedad and trollop mom fall prey to a birthday killer. I hope he murders them with birthday cake and then runs them over with their new BMW SUV.

I believe you meant to write "MTV's Whore Movie..."

It's an honest mistake.

While we're at it: "MTV's Whore Horror Movie.."

Kill 'em all!

Do you really need a horror movie themed on Super Sweet 16? Isn't that really just a redundancy at best, seeing as the stuck up little twats on this show are horrors in and of their own right? Or am I just getting mouthy again?

I don't supposed the plot involves Woody Harrelson showing up to the Sweat (sic) 16 party with a shotgun and a machete, and assuming that they're all zombies? No?

I can't believe that this is one of the truths, simply because I can't imagine MTV looking a gift horse in the mouth.

And too bad they won't do it well, which I wholly agree that they won't.

Why, oh why couldn't My Super Psycho Sweet 16 be a documentary?

I think we're not giving MTV enough credit. I mean, a few years ago they did an adaptation of Wuthering Heights with a bunch of spoiled teenagers and I thought that was plenty scary.

You mean "My Super Sweet 16" isn't a horror movie already? Coulda fooled me. The few seconds I've seen of it from channel surfing are fucking terrifying.

They already did a sweet 16 movie. It was called 'Super Sweet 16: The Movie.' Those guys over at MTV are super creatives.

It wasn't horror per say, but as MTV tv movies go, it was pretty bad, but not as bad as 'The American Mall,' which starred that girl (Nina Dobrev) from 'The Vampire Diaries.'

So if there's a movie featuring a psycho killer who comes and wipes out a room full of vapid, spoiled, rich, useless debutants is it just a horror movie in this day and age, or is it really wishful thinking?

*PS- nobody on that show would ever stoop so low as to have a party at the local roller rink. The ideas is to have a birthday no normal person's income could cover. Now if the killer crawled out of an abandoned roller-rink and slinked over to the million dollar ballroom with the brand new pink Escalade with the bow on it parked in front, then you might have something.

Don't most horror movies revolve around killing annoying, useless (but good-looking and willing to take their tops off) teenagers? How is this idea novel in any way?

I don't get it.

Is that girl in the picture really 16? She already looks plastic.

I want to see a Super Sweet 16 that goes like this:

Girl is turning 16. She prints up loads of invites and just gives them to all her friends and anyone she knows who wants to come.

There's no dress code, she doesn't care what people wear.

She insists that no one bring gifts.

It's held in some converted barn or something and the parent's only big expenses are the DJ and the food and refreshments (snack type stuff, not a full meal). Full stop.

She does not have a "court." She does not have bouncers. There's no videography team, photography team, multiple ice sculptures, thousands of balloons raining down with buckets of glitter. There are no skydivers, skywriters, or limos. No horse-drawn carriages, no hot air balloons, no B list celebrity appearance.

All the kids do is talk/shout, laugh, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance. A cake is brought out and everyone sings happy birthday, complete with the "cha cha cha" phrase they've been doing since they were all in preschool together. Parents take pictures. Everyone smiles.

The girl wants nothing more than to just have a good time with her friends.

Oh and there's no Bentley or BMW or Mercedes as a gift. If she gets some old car, she's so thrilled she literally falls over. If she doesn't, well, she wasn't expecting it anyway. It's one of her best memories.

That's what I want to see.

Is it just me or does that girl in the picture kind of look like Mariah Carey?

Posted by: Carolina Girl at October 5, 2009 4:16 PM

The Soup used to run clips of this show. There was one infamous clip where this girl got this brand new insanley expensive car for her birthday and started screaming and crying because it wasn't the color she wanted. All while her parents meekly tried to placate her. Horrifying and sickening at the same time.

Posted by: Kurdt at October 5, 2009 7:03 PM

No, Carolina Girl, it's not just you. She looks exactly like Mariah Carey. I thought it was Carey, at first.

Posted by: ariadne at October 5, 2009 7:27 PM

I also thought it was Mariah. In fact I thought the post was going to announce Mariah as a special guest at a spoiled girl's birthday or a victim / cameo in the horror movie.

You just described my niece's sweet 16 party this past weekend. Except swap out barn for Cheesecake Factory. Hell, it was this close from being an anime-themed party (I may or may not have influenced that particular shoice).

There is a reason she is my favorite, you know.

Snuggiepants, I'd like to see that kind of thing more often as well. I have a friend who's kid turned 16 recently, and she didn't even go that far out, she just had family and a couple of friends over. She's very grounded and I'm so proud of my friend for raising her to be a respectful, funny and kind person.

I loved this movie...such a good premise for a slasher film (who wouldn't want to see these spoiled brats get cut up?), and they did a good job of keeping it short, sweet and action-packed. Lots of gore, too for a TV movie!

Also, I really liked the soundtrack, lots of good tunes, especially "Put the Candle Back" by Electric Owls (that's the song playing while Madison, Olivia and Chloe get ready for the party)
