Great movie to revive the horror genre

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 1999)

Some people may think this is just another typical slasher flick. I disagree, and I'm sure lots of people feel the same way. First off, when "Scream" came out in 1996. it started off mild at the box office. When more and more things were said about this movie, it became better and better and had big success. After this movie, several teen slasher films came out as copycats of the film. I am a huge fan of Kevin Williamson as well. I have seen "Scream," "Scream 2," "The Faculty," "I Know What You Did Last Summer," "Halloween H20" (which he helped with the script but was not credited), "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" (which, in my opinion, was his worst film), and TV's "Dawson's Creek," but I have stopped watching that because me and Kevin both feel the same way: the show has become too "mushy." He is starting a new tv series called "Wasteland" which you can be guaranteed I will tune into. Anyway, back to "Scream." This film was entertaining from start to finish, and the fact that Wes Craven directed it also helped as well. He is as creative a horror director there ever was. This was the first well known horror film of the 90's, and it helped revive the genre in a HUGE way. Its creativeness in the sense that people were having the movies get to their head, and the killers were two of the main characters (don't worry, if you are one of the few people who have not seen this, I won't tell you who they are), was excellent. This is a great, somewhat classic, horror film that should be in anyone's library. Also, go see the sequel (it is just as good, if not better) and watch out for when Scream 3 comes out Dec. 10, it is sure to complete the already incredible trilogy in a huge way. My grade: A
