The film stars David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Rose McGowan, Skeet Ulrich, and Drew Barrymore.
Released on December 20, 1996," Scream" follows the character of Sidney Prescott( Campbell), a high school student in the fictional town of Woodsboro, California, who becomes the target of a mysterious killer in a Halloween costume known as Ghostface.
The film combines black comedy and" whodunit" mystery with the violence of the slasher genre to satirize the clichés of the horror movie genre popularized in films such as" Halloween"( 1978)," Friday the 13th"( 1980) and Craven's own" A Nightmare on Elm Street"( 1984).
The film was considered unique at the time of its release for featuring characters who were aware of real world horror films and openly discussed the clichés that" Scream" attempted to subvert.
Inspired by the real- life case of the Gainesville Ripper," Scream" was influenced by Williamson's passion for horror films, especially" Halloween"( 1978).
The script, originally titled" Scary Movie", was bought by Dimension Films and was retitled by the Weinstein Brothers just before filming was complete.
The production faced censorship issues with the Motion Picture Association of America and obstacles from locals while filming on location.
The film received positive reviews and was a financial success, earning$ 173 million worldwide, becoming the highest- grossing slasher film until the release of" Halloween"( 2018).

It received several awards and award nominations.
The soundtrack by Marco Beltrami was also acclaimed, and was cited as"[ one] of the most intriguing horror scores composed in years".
It has since earned" cult statusScream" marked a change in the genre as it cast already- established and successful actors, which was considered to have helped it find a wider audience, including a significant female viewership.
" Scream" was credited with revitalizing the horror genre in the 1990s, which was considered to be almost dead following an influx of direct- to- video titles and numerous sequels to established horror franchises of the 1970s and 1980s.
These sequels drew decreasing financial and critical success, as they exploited clichés upon which films in the genre had become reliant.
" Scream" s success spawned a series of sequels, though only" Scream 2", released in 1997, achieved a level of commercial and critical success equal to the original film.
In the years following the release of" Scream", the film was accused of inspiring and even inducing violent crimes and murders.
