best horror since halloween,a must see for all Craven fans!

Rating: 9/10 (12 February 2002)

Teen horror from Wes Craven, where a vengeful killer runs riot, causing chaos in a small town. The killer uses a halloween like suit with a mask and begins his killings with phone calls to the people he is after to scare them even more.In years to come this film will be remembered as a classic. The cast is wonderful, with exploding performances from Neve Campbell and David Arquette. It is a typical Craven film, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats and confused about the identity of the killer until the very end when it is revealed. It's tension is accompanied with interesting humour that always gives the audience a break from the seriousness. The killing scenes are well choreographed, making them scarier and funnier. the beginning gives an indication of what the film is going to be like and it sets the scene for the rest of the film, making audiences want to watch it with the light on and the phone off the hook.
