SCREAM gave life to horror in the 90's? I don't think so!

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2002)

It's said that "SCREAM" is the best horror film of the 90's. Is it true? Absolutely NO!. Sure, this film gave popularity to the almost dead horror genre in the 90's but this is not a true horror film. It has gore, dumb teens, and an unknown killer but the 90's horror style felt in this movie can't be compared to "that" 80's sensation in a horror movie. "SCREAM" didn't change anything in the way horror movies are produced, it copies the 80's style and it fails in being scary. Remember, gore is not everything in a horror movie. This film lacks of suspense, solid characters, and an effective score.
I don't know what the producers of this film tried to create, but something for sure is that it doesn't shines in the horror genre. Horror movies, died in the 90's. and "SCREAM" tried -but failed- in awakening the already dead genre.
