The Ultimate Slasher Tribute

Rating: Null/10 (11 October 2004)

Possible VERY MINOR spoilers:
Wes Craven is a freaking genius! This movie is so..well it's so serious and cool, but obviously there's a black comedy slant to it all the way. It's just a lot of fun really. Slasher fans will find all they want right here, except for nudity (sorry folks). Blood and stabbing, however is abound. I've never seen so much blood (except for maybe Evil Dead 2). Though the deaths never get more gory than the very first killing. Plus, any of you who haven't seen the gem that is "Halloween," you get a fine preview, as the fine folks in this movie watched this one on the tube. There are also many other horror references. Craven even has the stuff to make a joke about the failure of the sequels to his own Nightmare On Elm St. saga. Freddy also shows up int his movie, sort of. AS the cast puzzles over the killer's identity, so do you. With everyone a suspect, it'll drive you crazy. The there's the killer themself (is that a word? :-') Ghostface has become an instant legend in horror history. I still see scream masks in stores (it's the Halloween season now, and I've seen 'em, along with those Scary Movie parodies). Yep, Scream is a respectable horror classic. It's set the standard for teen horror flicks of the '90s. So get out there and rent this little classic.
