Don't you blame the movies. Movies Don't Create Psychos they only make psychos more creative.

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2006)

It is with those lines uttered by Skeet Ulrich as Billy Loomis that my life changed. Before this film I was just a casual movie watcher being only ten years old. The only films that had stirred my attention by this point were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Wars, and Alien. Even though Alien was my first encounter with horror, Scream catapulted me into an obsession for the genre. Scream introduced me to so many franchises and pop culture phenoms that I was now an instant film buff after watching this film. Irented it no less than twenty times before my mother gained the good sense to buy it for me. After I owned it I had free reign to dissect the film. And dissect I did. I went through found all the quotes and references and then went on to find those films thus increasing my obsession for the genre. Thank you Wes Craven for many, many, many years of enjoyment. I now share this film with my little eight year old sister who her self is becoming a fan of horror. This movie is great, ten stars.
