Oh, that Wes Craven!

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2005)

By now, you've probably heard what "Scream" is about (or seen it). So, I'll just discuss a few aspects of it. It was filmed partly in Santa Rosa, California. Another movie filmed there was Alfred Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt", and "Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz lived there. What a trio! Also, who would have predicted that we'd see Fonzie get butchered?! Yep, Henry Winkler appears as the principal. But probably the best scene has the characters discussing the rules for surviving a slasher movie: 1) you can never have sex; 2) you can never drink or use drugs (an extension of #1); 3) the most important is that you can never say "I'll be right back." Overall, this is one cool movie. Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette and the rest of the cast have a great time with the material.
