Entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2019)

I remember watching this as a kid and always closing my eyes at certain parts. Just watched again (20 years later) and it is still chilling and had me jumping. The opening scene is so intense - Drew Barrymore's acting is perfection - had me tearing up at the thought of how helpless her character was in that scenario (comparable to the classic When a Stranger Calls). Prefer movies like this where there's more suspense than gore. At the same time, the movie has its funny parts of educating the audience on horror movie cliches and survival rules. Scream 1 & 2 are the better of the 4 movies. Highly recommend
