* * * out of 4.

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2002)

The one that started the teen movie boom of the late 90's and was the basis for the most successful horror movie series in history. The film is about a teenage girl (Neve Campbell) that is still suffering from the murder of her mom. Exactly one year later, teens in the community are being killed by a ghost faced killer who quizzes his victims on their horror movie trivia via a cell phone and his main target appears to be Campbell. Fast paced, exciting, and very scary horror film with enough in-jokes and humor to keep you entertained from start to finish. Campbell is especially appealing and Skeet Ulrich is very creepy. The opening sequence is amongest the best in horror cinema history.
Rated R; Extreme Violence, Sexual Situations, and Profanity.
