Dedication.

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 1999)

Horror movies come and go in terms of popularity with the public. When Scream came out in movie theaters, no one was seeing horror films. This movie hit the nerve to get horror films back on track as one of the great reasons to go to the movies in the first place....to be scared. It's fitting to let Wes Craven direct this film, it's basically an dedication movie to all the great slasher films of the 80's. The first 15 minutes of this film are amazing, the rest is tight, it just never holds up to those 15 minutes. The film is well casted and well written and there are a lot of great moments for horror movie buffs. Wes Craven has had a long career in horror films and he deserves a big hit such as this film. Congratulations on scaring us again, Mr. Craven.
