Clever, Hip And Scary!

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2001)

After a series of mysterious deaths, an offbeat group of friends get caught up in a lively mix of thrills and chills!
The first time I saw the movie I rented it all by myself and watched at midnight the opening scene that opens with a scream over 9-1-1 and ends in a bloodbath freaked me out not long I realized I was sitting in front of a big sliding glass window! I stopped the movie calmed down invited a few friends over and we all had a slumber party.
David Arquette (Dewey) plays a lovable cop not like the other movies with the cops that don't do nothing and you can't stand No Dewey is very involved in these murders and may even be a victim.
Neve Cambell (Sidney) plays the main character, a teenage virgin whose mom was attacked and bruttally butchered supposedly by Cotton Weary. Her Mothers murder was one of the hottest court cases and her life gets turned upside down Campbell played this character with depth and emotion you feel sorry for her when she sees her mom's picture your heart bleeds for her.Campbell gave that a wonderful touch.
Courtney Cox (Gale) plays an annoying reporter who admits to saying that Sidney has falsly identified the killer and that the killer is still on the loose. Cox gave off this gave a mean attitude whenever Cox would appear on screen you would just get a touch of hatered.
Matthew Lillard (Stu) plays one of the offbeat teen . Lilliard's character is half the comedy in thois movie. Towards the end of the Movie the suspense digs up and to loosen us up is Lillard.
Rose McGowan (Tatem) plays Sidney's best friend and Dewey's little sister and Stu's girlfriend. Although Sidney and Tatem have one or two arguments here and there they are great friends Dewey and tatem however can barely stand each other as we find out when they first appear together. Stu and Tatem don't have much screen time but when they do you can tell it is chemistry. McGowan brought to this Character reason the one arqument her and Sidney get into it is tell Sidney you know this is what is really happining. McGowan's performance overall doesn't really seem all to great but then again this is her first horror movie.
Skeet Urlich (Billy) plays Sidney's boyfriend When we first meet him we see he loves his girl but then we find out she won't put out all because of her mothers murder last year. Urlich brings a dark side to Billy if you look very closely his grins are shocking.
Drew Barrymore (Casey) plays a seventeen year old victim. First of all Barrymore is a wonderful Screamer she is the opening scene What better way to open a movie and to find a hot young almost adult get terriozed by a guy in a ghost mask? Barrymore's experience and talent and performance brought us to sit on the edge of our seats.
Overall the movie was One Clever Thriller
