Scary, Chilling And Funny - I Loved It!

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2005)

Scream was probably one of the most popular movies of '96, and I can really see why. This was a frightening, gory movie that also had a bit of comedy mixed in with it. A series of murders occur and all the victims are from Woodsboro High School. The murders are gory and no one is safe. Everyone is a suspect and everyone is in fear. Courteney Cox plays in-your-face reporter Gale Weathers who is always ready to be at the scene and reporting the latest. Neve Campbell plays Sidney Prescott, an innocent girl whose mother was murdered and raped and now the killer is after her, too! Jamie Kennedy plays Randy Meeks, horror movie expert and comical friend. Rose McGowan plays Tatum Riley, Sidney's best friend who is the sister to Deputy Dwight 'Dewey' Riley. David Arquette plays Deputy Dwight 'Dewey' Riley, a brave deputy who must investigate the tragic events. Matthew Lillard plays Stuart Macher, wacky student at Woodsboro. Drew Barrymore plays innocent Casey Becker who is brutally murdered in the first 10 minutes of the movie. Liev Schreiber plays Cotton Weary, accused killer of Sidney's mother. So as you can see, there is quite an assortment of interesting characters. A fan of horror movies is almost guaranteed to like this one.
