Scream for help if you haven't watched it yet...

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2010)

What can I say about it? I have always loved horror movies and it would be extremely unfair not to regard this title as the one which brought this genre back from wherever it went in the late 80s and early 90s. The opening scene with Drew Barrymore is one of those moments which you can never get out of your mind... horror, blood, screams and much more horror. It is entertaining and frightening, it includes hundreds of meta-references -like much of what Kevin Williamson writes- and its characters are generally well-played. I really loved the female roles in the film -Neve Campbell's, Rose McGowan's, Courteney Cox's-, but Jamie Kennedy's and Skeet Ulrich's performances are also worth mentioning. David Arquette, however, seemed to overact, but it does not really matter with such an excellent cast standing by him.
On the whole, I don't think I could ever get tired of watching this movie. I can't wait to see the new chapter -Scream 4-, but I'm pretty sure that it can never equal this one or, worse, I fear it can get to disappoint me. Despite this, "Scream" is exactly what the 90s needed. Teenagers -attractive cast- being chased by a masked, crazy killer amidst a very nice soundtrack. Highly recommended.
