A scream

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2011)

This movie is a return to the slasher genre after it got somewhat "asleep" for some years. And it "woke up" again with this scary, scream of a film.
The movie is scary from the start. What begins as a flirtatious but apparently harmless phone call from some guy turns out to be frightening. The guy begins to make strange questions and calls back whenever the girls hangs up the phone and makes serious threats. Soon very disturbing and gruesome things happen.
More of these nightmarish events happen through the movie. The phone caller is disguised with a ghost mask on his face. The most unexpected surprise is that there are actually 2 "Ghostface" assassins. The movie is a nail-biter until the end as many terrifying events continue to happen until then.
A dull terror/horror movie, but probably a landmark for those who appreciate the genre because it meant a return to the genre, particularly teens.
None of the actors are great, although Drew Barrymore has probably her best acting in this small role. Neve Campbell is okay but I appreciated more her prettiness than her acting skills.
