"It's a Scream baby"

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2005)

When i first saw Scream about 2 years ago, i wasn't expecting much because i knew what all these "Teen" Horror flicks were about (bad acting, bad direction etc) but when the opening scene began with Drew Barrymore playing helpless blonde Casey Becker, my mind was changed almost immediately, words cant describe how brilliant Drew Barrymore was in this opening scene, and i have never scene her act this good fantastic since. it starts of with Casey Becker answering the phone, while shes alone getting ready to watch some scary movies with her boyfriend Steven Orth, but suddenly out the blue, the stranger on the phone starts harassing Casey and this is when she knows something is wrong here, every time i watch this scene my heart still pounds and i still cant watch it when her parents find her hanging from a tree, because without this Drew Barrymore opener, this movie would have been awful. Then we get introduced to Neve Campbell playing Sydney Prescott, a 17 year girl, with a boyfriend who is always trying to get into her pants. Her boyfriend Billy Loomis played by Skeet Ulrich suddenly appears through her window giving her a big fright and the only reason why he wanted to see Sidney was because he wanted the night to be the night (if you know what i mean!) but she says no and he leaves. The next day after Casey and Steve were murdered and Sidney finds herself being swamped by tabloid twit Gail Weathers played by Courtney Cox (Tv's Friends), because a year earlier her mother Maureen Prescott was raped and murdered and Sid blamed it on her mothers ex lover Cotten weary (liev Schreiber) and Gail has been bashing Sidney since Cotten got sent down for her murder. We than get introduced to Tatum Reily played by Rose Mcgowan, Sidneys best friend, Randy Meeks played by Jamie Kennedy and Stu Macker played by Matthew Lillard (Tatums boyfriend). That very same night Sidney gets attacked at home whilst waiting for Tatum to pick her up, and suddenly Billy shows up and he gets arrested because Sidney thinks it was him. This is when Deputy Dewey Riley gets introduced played by David Arquette. its now the one year anniversary since Maureen Prescott was murdered and this when things start getting crazy and more bodies start piling up and its up to Gale, Dewey and Sidney to stop it.we found out who the killers are and their motive is blaming Horror movies and they want to blame the whole thing on Neil Prescott (Sidneys father) to make sure they don't get caught. in Conclusion i enjoy watching this masterpiece by Wes Craven and i want to give out mini awards to the brilliant cast: Drew Barrymore: No words cant describe the brilliance of her performance, she really was amazing Neve Campbell: Neve is always great as troubled Sidney and she was great in all 3 movies Courtney Cox: Courtney proved that she can get away from her "Friends" character Monica Gellar and this showed us she is a mature actor and can do any role Rose Mcgowan: she cracks me up in this movie with her sarcastic remarks "no please don't kill me Mr ghost face, i wanna be in the sequel"
The rest of the cast are brilliant as well but i was disappointed with David Arquette because he was good in this but he isn't a great actor in my opinion i give it 100/10 because this is the modern say "Halloween" and this best Horror Movie of all time.
