A slasher / thriller classic

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2000)

This is truly a classic slasher / thriller movie, for it is truly scary, has a good plot, great actors, a lot of blood, celebrity cameos (very rare for the first film of a series, which says something about the film already), a good soundtrack, great direction and it is funny. Though I still do think Scream 2 is better, this is good too, even though this is the second time I watched this one. I had to, but soon I'd be seeing part 3 and I wanted to be all back in the history of Scream. The killer still is frightening, although I knew who it was. I knew it also the first time I watched it, a minute or so before it was revealed, well kind of anyway. But still, the ending is just great. If there would be persons to thank here for doing a great job, it would be all of them, what a great ensemble, man, but special thanks to the casting, for picking these eye  feasts, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Drew Barrymore and the well figured Rose McGowan, who was really sexy here.
Other good things in this film were, that the comedy wasn't focused on only one person, but they were all funny in a way and that they were not all just people, but they were characters, which is really rare in a slasher film.
7, 5 (so that'll be an 8 here) out of 10
