***1/2 out of ****

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 1999)

"Scream" never ceased to amaze me. The film was loaded with colorful characters who avoided most of the horror film cliches that we've grown used to and annoyed by. The film has an effective atmosphere and plenty of thrilling scenes. Although I was a little disappointed with who the killers were, I've grown used to it and now find it interesting that it was the person I started to suspect, then dropped the idea. That's what the film was good at also.
