Scream,one of the finest Wes Craven movies

Rating: Null/10 (26 January 2001)

In 1996 Wes Craven, famous for directing A Nightmare on Elm street,the in-famous last house on the left and a few other cult classic horror movies.Craven directed a movie penned by kevin williamson(dawson's creek creator and director of clerks,chasing amy etc)the movie was scream a movie which kinda re-wrote the slasher movie and brought it back from the dead at the same time.The film was fresh and somewhat original,the movie used the cinema goers knowledge of the slasher movie to try and use it against them and parody the genre at the same time to fantastic effect.Sydney our main character in this scary movie played brilliantly by Neve Campbell(T.V.S party of 5,wild things)is not alone her boy friend billie(played fantastically by Skeet Ulrich in one of his first roles)friends,Tatum,her big bro Deputy Dwight"Dewey" Wright and maybe the not so friendly Gale Weathers news reporter and super bitch played by T.V Friends Courtney Cox who of course comes across as a friend by the final reel,the thing with Scream is you can't say to much or you'll give it away,it's a film when you see it it for the first time it keeps you guessing and they try to keep the predictable unpredictable so it's a movie you really have to watch for yourself,all i'll say is it's tops one of the best horror movies of the 90's and a right good laugh at the same time. Of course it spawned 2 sequels to make a trilogy parts 2 and 3 are o.k but not a patch on the original which stands as one of Wes Cravens finest flicks tightly directed ,full of suspense laughs and screams. So tell me "do you like scary movies" if so check it out
