Well Done Wes Craven

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2002)

Wes Craven is the master of horror in my opinion. Scream was the best horror movie in a long while. Before Scream came out horror fans had been starved of any great horror films.
The idea may not be original but it didn't matter; Wes Craven made a good film in Scream. Most people will know the plot. It was great and there was plenty of gore throughout. The best part was trying to guess the identity of the killer. There were so many suspects both male and female and plenty of red herrings throughout the film.
The casting for this movie was spot on. Neve Campbell was brilliant as Sidney Prescott and I particularly enjoyed Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers. Credit must also go to David Arquette, Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard. This was a great film but unfortunately it spawned a host of imitators none of which could hold a candle to this film (although I Know What You Did Last Summer and it's sequel were very good).
I doubt whether anyone who watches this film will correctly guess the identity of the killer.
