The Best Movie...EVER!

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2001)

Okay, I have a problem and I can't help myself. I've watched it over a hundred times, I've memorised to entire script, I dream about it and make sure everyone within a ten-mile radius of me has seen it. I admit it-I'm addicted to Scream.
Everything about this movie is genius. The extravagant death scenes, the witty humour and the Â‘on-the-edge-of-your-seat' excitement, all add up to make the greatest slasher movie of all time. In my opinion, Wes Craven should be crowned and made King of the World. He created the classic Nightmare On Elm Street and then went and conquered the horror genre once again with Scream. Combining his incredible directing and Kevin Williamson's expert writing, Scream was sure to be a winner right from the beginning.
I think I'll side with the majority and say that my favourite scene is Casey Becker's part. With, once again, brilliant acting from Drew Barrymore, she manages to get away with such a long dying scene without it getting tedious.
But it's not just the brilliant direction, writing and effects that make Scream so good, every one of the actors deliver a professional and convincing performance. Jamie Kennedy's movie geek Randy Meeks was particularly good. Also Neve Campbell's character was one of the few leading women in scary movies, that didn't make you want to slap her.
I could fill a whole website with good things about Scream, but I won't. Instead I'll just say-GO SEE IT! It'll be one of the best movies you've ever seen!
