Clever and dark!

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2014)

A revolutionary horror movie that was the first to do something that many have tried to copy since, having a vast amount of the traditional horror movie traits, thus managing to instill a sense of danger and despair, all while still managing to not take itself to seriously and still supplying some comedic moments that don't take away from the movie being in the horror genre, this theme being continued throughout the following movies. Scream also manages to make some deaths more than the normal 'stab and the body goes down' kills, with a few imaginative final scenes for characters. An example of this is when Tatum is seemingly going to be stabbed by Ghostface just like the other victims, only for her 'death by garage door'. This, like the aforementioned dark humour, is another notable great feature throughout the series. This is a movie I actively recommend to people in real life and I will keep doing so.
