So much average

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Considering Drew Barrymore is top billed in the picture, she didn't last very long, did she? Maybe she had another gig that interfered and could only take a bit part. For it's genre, not a bad horror flick, though it does cater to a teenage and young adult audience. The picture reminded me that Courteney Cox and David Arquette were hooking up for real around this time or shortly after. I could never see the attraction between the two but what do I know? The picture has it's fair share of misdirection and has some fun referencing other horror flicks along with taking pot shots at itself for inferring that it's a movie in it's own right. Some of that was pretty clever but director Wes Craven probably over did it at a certain point. Still, there was enough clever stuff going on to keep one guessing about the real killer. If O.J. Simpson's murder case occurred after this movie came out he might have come up with a dual killer angle himself. If you think about it, the picture does it's best job by illustrating the absurd by being absurd. Case in point, I would refer to the dumbest line in the movie. After getting stabbed three times and going head over heels down the stairs, Billy (Skeet Ulrich) is asked by his girlfriend Sidney (Neve Campbell): "Are you okay?" Seriously?

Scream was one of the first horror movies i saw and is still in my top ten best horror movies, it still holds up and basically gave an adrenaline shot in to the heart of horror. The story follows Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) who's mother almost a year ago got murdered. Sidney testified that Cotton Weary raped her mother then killed her and he is sent to jail for it. Suddenly murders start and has sidney questioning her sanity did she put the wrong person away? The film has a mix of fun and red herring characters and at times you forget your watching a horror and just enjoy the conversations of the characters.Courtney Cox plays news reporter Gale Weathers a women who is always looking for an angle for the story, a real bitchy character and yet when she gets with Dewey your heart melts. Deputy Dewey Riley is the sweetest character in the movie a lot of the kids are really savvy but he's an adult and yet is probably the most innocent man. Neve Campbell as sidney is a great horror heroine. Rose Mcgowan Plays Tatum Dewey's little sister is feisty carefree teenager. Jamie Kennedy as Randy the ultimate movie geek in the best way possible. i will say no more this is a funny yet scary movie that will have you guessing right until the end.

Plot; Teens in a small town find themselves in a deadly game with a killer who plays by standard horror movie clichés.Often credited with revitalizing the horror genre in the mid-90s (it certainly influenced it thereafter for at least the rest of the decade), Scream still holds up as a clever, well made twist on the genre. It deftly balances horror and humor, with each complimenting the other to deliver something that's both familiar and fresh.

I've mistaken the plot of this movie for Scary Movie, which I have watched more than twice (as I remember). So, I thought I knew who the man behind the mask was but of course I was wrong. This is the surprise effect for me, although I didn't really like the disclosure. That made the mystery felt, as a matter of fact, too simple. Whatever that was, I did enjoy the movie. It was so frightening. I really like the whole performance of the casts, especially Courtney Cox who played Gale Weathers. . She's amazing. Her voice really fits her role as a reporter, I think.
