A very smart idea

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 1999)

There is a certain art in surprising. In a mystery movie, when everything seems to point to a solution, people tend to believe the solution is the exact opposite. Master Wes Craven and Kevin Willianson seem to know that and many other things about the viewers thoughts, and they play with that perfectly. It's like they're reading your mind. For horror movies, SCREAM is a reference, a whole writing and directing class. A must-see for everyone who claims to understand about cinema. Like that is not enough, SCREAM brings us the great talent of a rising star called Neve Campbell. Just wait 'til she is taken seriously by Hollywood, and we'll have a new name in movie history.
