I'll scream right back!

Rating: 8/10 (18 September 2001)

The Best: Being the first in the series of the over explored teen horror movies, the fact of being the pioneer. This first chapter as well as the third were the ones that scared more the viewer as well as were the more laughable ones relating to the black humour. The Worst: The movie has almost two hours but as well as any good movie it passes like it had only half an hour, which is something that can be not good. Rating: 8/ 10
Two young teenagers have been murdered by a dysfunctional killer that took his love for scary movies one step too far the day after on the local high school of Woodsboro, the police is in a commotion, every student his being asked about their relationships with the frustrated students. This story is particularly interesting the young student Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and her group of friends, her boyfriend Billy (Skeet Ulrich), Tatum (Rose McGowan), Dewey (David Arquette), Stu (Mathew Lillard) and Randy (Jamie Kennedy) and the opportunist reporter Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox). Sidney's relationship with Billy isn't the best currently as her mother's one year death anniversary approaches, having in the background all of these sudden and macabre deaths on campus. Deaths are becoming more frequent, bodies pile' up, Sidney gets attacked, never knowing in who to trust she realizes that the deaths are all coming each time closer to her The killer seems to be everywhere at any time, to scare everyone.
As I said, after this movie movies with a killer with a knife chasing high school students and killing them start appearing countlessly. Although, the script and general quality of this movie started being insulted and imitated with movies trying to let themselves too seriously, of course failing Anyway, Scream always came out as a winner and it still remains so as a common know. Not to be forgotten that this movie is considered one of the all time best horror films, and my God it deserves it so much! Like a declaration I heard sometime ago: ` Horror/ Scary movies are only good and really frightening when they can happen to anyone, at any place, at any time'.
I was to write this review a few time ago, but I decided to go rent this movie again so I could be more inspired doing it. One tip: the perfect set is alone at house or with your friends at night lights off, closed doors, window(s) opened and curtains closed dancing in the wind! One last thing, a goof actually, one that really p***ed me off: when Casey Becker gets killed, and hanged on the tree, you can clearly see that she is a toy or a stunt as the faces are completely different, and when `someone' is killed on the garage and electrocuted you can clearly tell that it is a toy by the look of its skin.
Don't wait and go see it, if you already have, do it again! 8/10
