Great movie - ruined by sequels!

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2002)

I'm rarely actually scared by movies. I hate trendy movies that feature people from trendy TV shows. That's why I was truly shocked to have liked Scream as much as I did. The opening scene truly terrified me and I loved the humor of the "scary movie" theme that was carried through the film. Unfortunately, I was turned off immediately when the killer(s) are revealed. Would have been far better if the killer was never caught or identified.
I saw Scream 2, knowing it would be terrible compared to the first and I was not proven wrong. Never saw the third film. The first is certainly worth seeing though, with great suspense and great humor.
