The original and best of 'Scream' series!

Rating: 9/10 (5 March 2001)

What can I say? This movie rocked! Wes Craven reinvents the horror/slasher genre in this clever spoof, and it is also surprisingly filled with suspense!
(SPOILER) The whole cast is excellent! Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Skeet Urlich, Jamie Kennedy, Matthew Lillard, Drew Barrymore and even Henry Winkler all perform well! The script is fantastic and refreshing, and there is plenty of clever jokes that's will make you laugh but at the same time give you the creeps i.e. Meeks saying "look behind you!" to the television! Great stuff and an excellent homage to the slasher/horror movie genre. 'Scream' stands out as a unique spoof on the horror genre and a memorable thriller with enough blood and guts to entertain most horror/teen slasher fans! This is vastly clever and original film that analyses it's own genre. 'Scream' is one of my favourite scary movies! ****1/2 out of *****!
