The movie that defines a slasher film.

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2014)

This is the movie that defines a slasher film, where a serial killers dressed in black with a ghost-face mask stalks teenager Sidney (Neve Campbell) one year after the death of her mother. Soon, Sidney's classmates begin to fall victim to the slasher, and Sidney must find out with the killer is and if these incidents have anything connected with her mother's death.
Filmed in a high school setting, the actors did provide a believable and serious performance nonetheless, providing enough drama and suspense to make the horror film watchable. The scenes with the killer's voice over the phone, the killer chasing the victims and the victims hiding and trying to escape from the unseen killer will send chills down your spine and cover your ears to prevent you from being creeped out at those jumping-out-at-you moments.
Campbell's character was overly dramatic at times and appeared too angry at the role; Drew Barrymorre would have made a better lead actor, but her smaller role in the movie was memorable to say the least. Overall, not a bad horror film.
Grade B-
