Great Scary Movie

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 1999)

Scream is a really good film that sort of takes to the next level what Wes Craven started in the much creepier Wes Craven's New Nightmare.
The opening bit of the film would have worked so well if had not been for the fact that just about every film review everywhere gave away the first 10 minutes. However knowing that sort of makes these scene more intense.
Neve Campbell is a megababe and she does sort of look like a young Heather Langenkamp who played the main character in A Nightmare on Elm Street.
The film is good but was not as scary as I expected when I went to see it when it opened. However even though the horror is not up to what you expect the film is so entertaining it doesn't matter. Not just a great horror film, a great film.
