Wes Craven's best film

Rating: 9/10 (1 November 2005)

Scream is about a dressed up serial killer who stalks teenagers in a small town in California. I think this is Wes Craven's best film he's ever done. Nightmare on Elm Street is a great movie but intentionally, I think Scream is his best. This movie isn't really scary and is actually more funny than freaky, with a good amount of funny lines. There aren't much scary scenes besides the opening scene with Drew Barrymore and the hanging, which I thought was the freakiest part of the movie. There is a couple jumps in the film and the ending was the coolest part of the movie, revealing the killers and all. Overall, I think Scream is a classic thriller and is Wes Craven's best film to date.
Hedeen's Outlook: 9/10 ***+ A-
