screaming at some parts, yawning at others

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 1998)

Scream would earn a C+ in my book. I will admit I kept guessing who it was, because Williamson creates so many possibilities. But when was a horror movie supposed to be funny? If I'm watching a horror movie, I'm watching it to get scared, not to laugh. That is were Scream fails. There is absolutely no mood of scariness. Unlike Halloween ( which this movie tries living off), there is no creepy music or set-up of suspense. After the part when Drew Barrymore gets killed, there's no suspense. It's like a comedy where people get murdered.
