A scary modern version of the old school horrors

Rating: Null/10 (3 December 1998)

I LOVE this movie and could go on about it forever, but don't worry I won't. When this first came out I didn't think it would be all that hot, and also I wasn't a big fan of horror films apart from Halloween but I was eventually persuaded by my friends. And I'm happy they did. I love this film. The plot is quite simple. It starts off with Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) being horribly killed. We then go to the aftermath. At the school she went to the press are having a field day and Sidney Presscott (Neve Campbell) is having to deal with this and it also being the year long anniversary of her mother's murder. Then the murders start up again, first with the high school headteacher, then Sidney's best friend Tatum (Rose McGowan) At first Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) is suspected but he is then released. It's then a free for all with everyone suspecting everyone else. I won't give away who does it but I must say I was surprised. Neve Campbell is fantastic as tortured Sidney, Skeet Ulich is great as the suspicious boyfriend Billy, Courteney Cox is excellent as the bitchy all for herself journalist Gale Weathers (A refereshing break from Friends.) Jamie Kennedy is cool as the film buff Randy, and David Arquetted is sweet as the quirky, nerdy Deputy Duey. This is a great film but the first 10 minutes where Drew Barrymore is killed is of course the most thrilling and scary. This is a great film. If you haven't seen it yet where have you been the last 2 years? Get your head out of the sand and rent it now!!
