One of the best classics

Rating: 9/10 (31 October 2015)

Scream is a classic horror movie with a twist. Throughout the movie, it makes references to other horror movies of the time and mocks them, making it stand out simply by that. A big difference of Scream is that it does something no other movies does. When the movie was promoted, Drew Barrymore was the face of the movie, she was supposed to be the leading role. To everyone's shock, she dies within the first few minutes of the movie! This is something few movies do, making Scream stand out even more. The storyline is self adds to twist of the movie. Sidney's mother was raped and murdered a year ago. And it just so happens that as the year anniversary approaches, a serial killer targets Sidney. The biggest twist is when one finds out who the killer is. Throughout the entire movie, one is led to believe there is only one killer, and the biggest suspects are Sidney's father because he is missing, and Billy, Sidney's boyfriend. Billy was initially taken to jail because he showed up at Sidney's house right as the killer failed to kill her, but then is found innocent. The twist is that there are two killers! Billy and Stu, Stu being one of Sidney's close friends. Then one finds out that Billy and Stu killed Sidney's mother because Billy's father was cheating with her. On top of that, Billy & Stu had kidnapped Sidney's father. All these elements make Scream one of the best classic horror movies. While still including the elements that all horror movies have; the teen romance and parties, with the killer targeting them all, with the intricate story lines and twist that make you jump and scream like all horror movies should.
