scream changes your view of the entire genre forever!

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2005)

This movie revived the genre, with it's clever analysis of other horror movies and the simplicity of the revenge plot. This proves that you don't need to lay it on thick, with the gore and mountains of corpses to produce a clever, entertaining and truly terrifying horror movie .
The original and very scary telephone calls create more suspense than music,lighting or strange noises ever could . This "anticipation of death is worse than death itself" philosophy is very apparent in a lot of craven's work, but non more so than scream.
"the rules", the focus of the movie are genius , they add purpose to a tart trying to crawl through a kitty door when she should be beating the crap out of the injured killer.the rules change the way you look at all horror movies and this art imitating life imitating art is what makes this movie great.a truly perfect substitute for all that gore. In sum,Scream is the daddy of all horror movies!
