Summary: Terrible movie.I wouldn't recommend it
Review: This is film making at it's least classy.The acting is quite good for movies of this sort,but the costume(inspired by a Muinich painting)will probably inspire more laughs then screams.Suspense is conspicious by it's absence,except in the riveting opening,and final,which are maybe the only two things in this movie worth watching.Courtney Cox,and Neve Campbell are good to look at,I must say,but they alone are not worth your rental dollars.

The characters themselves are pretty shallow,vapid,typical teens who spout Quinetin Tarentino-esque dialouge in one of the few original ideas in this cliche riddled mess.They also seem nothing like real teens,or at least any I know.

I suppose it can be fun in a cheesy sort of way,and perhaps worth a dollar or two on a slow night,but other than that skip it.

Of intrest mostly to fans of this rather spotty subgenre,but you're really much better off watching it's inspiration,Halloween.Oh,and Nightmare On Elm Street beats the stuffing out of this gory piece of tripe.So does Wes Craven's New Nightmare.

Under no circumstances should you watch the sequels,which are beyond merely poor...

scale:1(holy cow!)-10(ahh...)

Directing:7.8

Suspense:5

Acting:7.9 script:6.4

While certainly not perfect,this is much better than the dreck that followed in it's wake,such as I STILL know what you did last summer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Toms Scream Review
Review: This has got to be one of the best horror films I have seen. Frightening and funny this film has it all. The start is excellent as the killer (Ghost Face) acts like a nice guy until he claims that he is watching her, the mood suddenly changes in the house as she gets horrified to know that her boyfriend is tied up outside, when she turns the light back on outside his stomach has been cut open. The film is good as you cannot decide who is the killer, one murder leads to another and the friends begin to suspect each other until you find out which person or persons is doing this. An excellent film, rent out the film, turn out the lights and enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT MOVIE!
Review: I LOVE this movie! And if you are a HUGE fan of scary movies,(just like me)you would just ador this movie. There are a lot of sceanes with some cursing and gory bloody parts so I would defintly recamend this movie for probley 18 and up. It is rated R. Well, anyway, it's about somebody who is killing a lot of people and it seems like when you watch it that everybody is a suspect! And if you are a big fan of Drew Barrymore, well, in the beginning she dies.so this movie is very scary.You should watch it very very soon!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SCREAM . . . A HIT FOR ANYONE WITH SURROUND SOUND
Review: This movie is funny, thrilling and quite appealing to teens and younger viewers. Never mind the R rating. In surround sound it is like being transported RIGHT INTO THE FLICK.

Good for anyone who is looking for Henry Winkler getting hacked in his own office!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a must see

Summary: Politically Correct slasher movie
Review: Scream brought us little shocks and no nudity. The most popular slasher movies, A Nightmare On Elm Street, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween and Friday the 13th all had creative death sequences, which are important in slasher movies. They also brought us very SHOCKING material. And often nudity. They were not afraid to stand up to the plate and deliver what they were supposed to. Unfortunately, the '90s were a politically correct time, where many slasher movies were nervous about showing, gore, nudity and such else. Scream, I respect for delivering a reignition in the genre, but it doesn't deliver what the '80s crowds went to see, except for the slashings of course. Wes Craven is noticeably softer here than ever before. He's unfortunately not given the audiences shocks that will be talked about for years. Last House On The Left was extremely shocking and A Nightmare On Elm Street has some of the most elaborate death scenes in slasher history. And if Kevin Williamson would have watched more than just a hand full of slasher movies, it would have been given more fun material I believe. And if he did watch more than a hand full of slasher movies, he should have thrown much more stuff in. The classics like the Friday the 13th series, Nightmare On Elm Street series, and Halloween series remain uneclipsed by present slasher movies. Thankfully, it looks like Scream has boosted life back into the '80s horror rather than the '90s horror, seeing how the Scream-imitations are slowly dying down and Jason X, Freddy vs. Jason, Seed Of Chucky, Hellraiser 5 and others are on the way.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: okay,but barely
Review: This is a good as far as teenybopper movies go-but it most definitely will NOT go down as a classic.It barrows way too much from other better movies,including the movie that started it all-John Carpenter's Halloween.Watch it if you like good movies-watch THIS if you you're looking to kill some time.

Problems:That costume is a bit dorky,making me want to laugh rather than scream.

Neve Campbell overacts from time to time,and comes off as whiny.

Do we really need yet another slasher movie?Didn't think so.

The gross over-use of pop culture refrences to appear clever is enough to make anyone gag.

The best thing about this is the begining.the rest is just twenty-something actors trying to act like teens,and doing an almost okay job,with an occasional smattering of (obviously)fake gore here in there to please fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic
Review: I can hate Kevin Williamson for Dawson's Creek, but I have to love him for Scream. He managed to blend edge of your seat, nail biting horror with the tongue in cheek attitude of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer." Scream is a new twist on the horror genre, which involves two teenagers trying to imitate their favorite movies. They slice, they dice, and they crack you up. The film centers around Sidney Prescott(Neve Campbell)an average run of the mill highschool student that lives in an average run of the mill suburban town and has an average run of the mill boyfriend(Skeet Ulrich). Only last year, Sidney's mother was brutually murdered, and with the anniversary of her death approaching, more people are turning up dead. My hat goes off to Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson, you've got me hooked boys.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Thrilling HIT!
Review: I think this is one of the best horror movies ever made. The Scream Trilogy is a scary horror serise that will always be my favorit. The scene in the beginning with Drew Barrymore had me screaming. Neve, Courtney, and David are all great. David plays a great funny stupid cop. Courtney play a hot reporter who's funny but bitchy. and Neve plays a Great Scream Queen. She's right up there with Jamie leigh Curtis. Although the 2nd and 3rd are better this is a must see!
