broke the horror genre convention

Rating: 8/10 (10 May 2011)

Scream is quite a clever film.it pokes fun at the genre,without crossing the line into comedy.it's well written,and still comes across as fresh even today.there's a myriad of suspects that could be the killer and your kept guessing right to the very end as to who It is.the characters in this one are not as dumb as they would be in your conventional horror film,but then again this is no conventional horror film.Scream spawned two sequels with a third now in theatres. it revolutionized the horror genre and spawned numerous imitators and ripoffs all of inferior quality.15 years later,it still stands the test of time as a well written horror convention breaking film.
