The film that brought the horror genre back to life

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 2019)

In the 90s, horror had a big decline. It can be blamed on the fact that most of the films were becoming low quality, poorly acted, absurd, or just the same plot as other films. But when Scream was released in 1996, the horror genre was brought back to life. The film follows a simple plot (that of a typical teen slasher) of a group of teenagers being stalked by an unknown killer. But this film breathes new life into the teen slasher genre. What we have is a film that makes the characters aware. Meaning, they have seen horror films and are at least educated at what to do and what not to do in such a situation. The acting in this film is actually good. Jaime Kennedy and Matthew Lillard are some of the best actors in this film. The characters might be sterotypical, but again, this film breathes new life into the teen slasher genre. But, the characters are likeable in their own way. The rest of the film is suspensful and full of mystery. It is worth watching till the end. So, if you have not watched this film, then it is time that maybe you should watch this film. You will not be dissapointed.
