funky, scary, sexy, cool

Just when you thought the horror genre was dead and buried Wes Craven released Scream in the mid 1990's and it was the surprise smash hit of most horror films of all time! Sitting down to watch this, after the first scene I was freaked. Every movie has it's one famous moment and Drew Barrymore's scene has gone down in history as one of the scariest moments of all time. The rest of the movie (although scary at times) is really comic relief. An enjoyable little film which has reopened us to a new kind of horror and has made it's cast stars. The film carries many spoofs and references to classic horror films and has repopularized them. Scream will remain with me as *the* film of my teenage years
