Just another dumb, boring slasher flick

Rating: 3/10 (28 February 2003)

SCREAM demonstrates beyond a doubt that self-awareness is not always a good thing.
Here, the film's awareness of genre conventions and clichés serves merely to point up the fact that the filmmakers are unable to transcend those clichés, and end up making a movie that is neither a frightening horror film, nor a funny spoof. Instead, it's just one more utterly typical example of that most worthless of genres, the teen slasher flick.
The only things that redeem this film from complete turkeydom are Henry Winkler's performance and the relatively effective opening scene. Everything else is garbage.
3/10.
