Tricky, clever, and just fun

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2004)

The reason that I find this film to be so clever, is that all of the characters are aware of the formula to slasher movies, yet they seem to be in one. The story involves a teenager named Sydney Presscott (Neve Campbell) who's mother was killed one year before the murder's start to happen again. No matter where Sydney seems to go, everyone around her begins to die. When the killer is revealed, you'll be shocked. Something you can't help but love about Scream is all of the quotes and references to older slasher movies. Scream can be just as funny as it is scary, and can be enjoyed by just about anybody. My only problem with Scream is the dragged out climax, but overall a real thrill. 10/10
