Pure fun!!!

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 2002)

I love scary movies! They are absolutely the most fun to watch! However, the genre seems to be cursed in that it is very hard to put out a decent horror film. Scream has done it!!!
Creatively done, a mix of humor and scare, Scream is fun from start to finish. What makes it even better is that this film does not derive its scares from blood and gore (although there is a fair amount of it, especially in the opening scene), but it truly does have you in suspense in many of the scenes. What also adds to this benefit is that the film actually has a plot aside from the slashing that tends to dominate these films. Because of that this film is a whole lot more interesting and captivating. The slashing almost becomes a side part, but still offers a lot of fun to the movie.
So for great scares and a whole lot of fun, Scream rates a 7/10
