The ride of a lifetime.

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 1999)

This film has it all; action, suspense, adrenalin, a great bunch of actors and one of the most original scripts that the film world has seen in a long time. Scream helped to redefine and re-invent the horror film genre of the nineties and has helped many other great horror films develop since its release. That's what it has and what it's done, but why is it so good??
Wes Craven surpassed all that he has done before and brought the element of believeablility to this film, as a result it takes you on a twisting turning ride that makes you feel sick and dizzy but leaves you begging for more.
Because of its closeness to reality through its "it could happen to you tomorrow" mentality the film grips you in a way that few other films could. Because of its horror theme it makes you intensely intrigued by its nature.
It may not be the finest film in the filmmakers sense of the word, but for me it has to be the finest film that I have seen at the cinema this decade, and out of the all time list only takes a slight second place to the magnificant Star Wars trilogy. See this film above all others, trust me.
