the flick that started a new era

Rating: 9/10 (13 September 2016)

For years horror was a not done in Hollywood until this flick suddenly hit the screen. Why it started a new era was rather simple. Wes Craven, the director was done with all those horrors full with CGI and almost no gore. After the end in the mid eighties of the slashers it was time to go back and restart it he thought so Scream came out full of red stuff and gory moments.
What also did work was the fact that it was full of questions towards the old school horror. The killer on the phone did ask who was the killer in certain flicks so horror buffs did like the trivia throughout Scream. But it just all fits together, the acting, the story, the gore, the killings. Wes Craven was back and how. Suddenly horror was back on the list in Hollywood and even as Scream created a franchise it also spawned a lot of new horror flicks until this writing. Horror was back and made money, even today.
A must see for all geeks out there because it's full of horror and not that much of blah blah like we've seen in the I Know franchise. Straight in your face.
