Admit it, it's a classic!

Rating: 9/10 (28 September 2001)

If you think about it, this movie's got a lot to answer for. After "Scream" became a surprise hit, it was assumed that *any* scary movie would be a guaranteed hit. And so we got "Urban Legend" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer", which didn't do much other than reminding us what the cliched scary movies "Scream" was making fun of were like.
That's my only problem with "Scream". Other than that, it's my favorite scary movie and an even better tribute to "Halloween" than the wrong-headed twentieth anniversary sequel. You might have a problem answering the phone immediately afterwards.
