Entertaining, but not THAT scary

Rating: 7/10 (4 August 1999)

Scream is a good entertaining horror flick. It has twists and turns through out especially toward the end! Its about a stalker/killer dressed up in a dark costume with a ghost mask and right from the beginning starts slaughtering teens. The direction by Wes Craven is good, and the script by Williamson matches it in this witty slasher. But, it wasn't really all that scary as soo many people seem to say, I think it had a couple of shocks here and there, but the scares toward the end take a back seat to the stylishness of the references found through out the film. And the cast, the cast is alright, but nuthin too special unless u compare them to the 80s horror films (except to a few like Nightmare on Elmstreet, first Friday the 13th, and Child's Play). But they do try, and i'll give them that. Over all the movie is really fun to watch and if your into horror and yet want something different and refreshing, watch this!
