Summary: What a new way to make Horror.
Review: Throughout the 70's & 80's the horror genre was famous for making icons out of maniacs. The terror came from masked killers who ran after young people who didn't know what they were doing. Reviving the genre in 1996, Wes Craven gave horror fans Scream. A new inventive story about 5 teens who actually knew what was going on. Heading the cast is Neve Campbell, Rose McGowan, Courtney Cox, and David Arquettet. It is a retrospective look back on Halloween with a 90s twist. The film is clever in every aspect and actually the killer turns out to be an everyday person, and not the insane mental patients, like Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, and Leatherface. This film will definately live on in the horror genre. See this movie.

Summary: PRETTY GOOD. friday 9th april 2004.
Review: The very first time i saw this film i would of rated it 5 stars, but after watching it a couple of times it as got really boring. It isn't really scary, but gory. I like watching this film but not as much as i used to do. Its based on a serial killer but i won't tell you who, who is phoning people for a game and killing them. Then he or them is after someone else. But one person manages to get away each time. GORY,TERROR AND HALF SCARY.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Excellent a good movie for horror lovers
Review: I thought this movie was pretty good and Wes Craven did a good job. They had a few secrets in it that you had to be a horror lover to notice. For instance the janitor that the principal yelled at Scream was chasing him, was wearing Freddy's sweater and the principal called him Fred. Also when Cindy was talking to Tantum she said that this wasn't some kind of Wes Carpenter movie. Well that was two different directors Wes Craven who directed Scream and John Carpenter who directed Halloween. Also it was funny when the guy sitting on the couch kept telling Jamie Lee Curtis that Micheal Myers was right behind her when Scream was right behind him. Of course he was one of the bad guys so Scream wouldn't have killed him. Courtney Cox played the typical snobby reporter who only cares for the well being of her carreer. The acting in this movie was excellent but before you see this one see Nightmare on Elm Street Halloween and Friday the 13th. And remember Mrs. Voorhees was the oringinal killer Jason didn't come until the sequel.

Summary: S C R E A M (1996)
Review: In 1984, Wes Craven brought us the incredible A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. In 1996, he brought us the unbelievable hit SCREAM. Some horror fans look at this movie as a joke. When I look at those people, do you know what I see? @ssholes. This is an excellent piece of work, and very original.

Drew Barrymore plays CASEY BECKER, who gets this weird phone call from an unknown guy. The unknown caller begins torturing CASEY and then kills her boyfriend, STEVEN ORTH, and just when you thought that Drew was going to be our leading lady who survives this whole ordeal, the unknown caller then kills her.

Neve Campbell plays SIDNEY PRESCOTT. Sidney is our leading lady. The year before, Sidney's mother was brutally murdered. Sidney accused a man named COTTON WEARY. The next morning, Sidney arrives at school and notices the whole campus is full of police cars and reporters. Sidney's friend TATUM (played by Rose McGowan) tells her what had happened. After school, Sidney and Tatum are sitting on a bench with their boyfriends BILLY LOOMIS (played by Skeet Ulrich) and STU MACHER (played by Matthew Lillard) and their friend RANDY (played by Jamie Kennedy). They are talking about what kind of questions they were asked during their individual interregations and then they talk about their whereabouts the night before.

That night, Sidney is planning to spend the night at Tatum's house. She gets a call from Tatum saying that she is on her way. She hangs up with Tatum and gets a call from the killer. The killer then comes in and attacks Sidney. The killer suddenly disappears, but her boyfriend Billy appears. She thinks he was the one who attacked her. Luckily, Tatum's older brother, DEWEY (played by David Arquette), who is cop, shows up to Sidney's rescue.

The next day at school, the principal suspends every class due to everything that has been going on. Dewey arrives on campus and begins talking to ambitious reporter GALE WEATHERS (played by the beautiful Courteney Cox Arquette).

That night, Suu throws a party. The party goes real well, until Billy shows up. He and Sidney get to talking and the two... you know... After they finish, Billy becomes the killer's next victim, sending Sidney running around looking for help. Gale and Dewey, run to the house. Dewey goes inside the empty house to check everything out, while Gale gets inside her news van to call the sherriff for backup, unaware that her cameraman had just bit the dust. Seeing her dead cameraman sends Gale crashing into a tree, leading to an ending that sets the stage for its stunning sequel, SCREAM 2.

This is a movie that I have enjoyed for the past eight years (I still can't believe this movie is that old). Whatever you do, do not listen to what some people might have told you. This is an outstanding movie with a 100% original concept. Buy it and you'll see what I am talking about.

Summary: EVERYBODY'S A SUSPECT!
Review: I'd like to begin my review by clarifying a few things about some other reviewers' complaints. First of all, "SCREAM" is not a "rip-off" of previous slasher flics. Actually, it is an homage to them. It clearly knows that it is using the same situations as some previous horror movies, and it humorously pokes fun at its slasher-genre routes. Secondly, it is original, as much as it spoofs other movies. Because, you see, in this movie, the characters KNOW they are in a horror movie, and they have some knowledge of what to do and what not to do in this kind of situation. Once the "rules" of a scary movie are stated, they begin breaking all of them, and that is a twist. Another twist is the ending, which I won't give away, but let me just say it was very well done (although it was VERY violent). This movie is marvelous. The acting (including Drew Barrymore, Neve Campbell, Skeet Ulrich, Jamie Kennedy, Rose McGowan, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Matthew Lillard, and cameo of Henry Winkler) is exquisite, the writing is comical and horrifying at the same time, and horror veteran Wes Craven directs excellently. The thrills and chills are actually GENUINE. It's very frightening and ominous at times, but the humor will make it fun for people to watch. There is a lot of blood, though, and most of it is chillingly realistic, so be ware, seriously. The DVD features are very good, including a very engrossing commentary by Wes Craven and brilliant screenwriter Kevin Williamson, lots of trailers, and more!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Perfect Halloween Movie
Review: Scream is the best movie for Halloween mainly because it is scary but not so scary that people don't want to watch it or that peoples parents won't allow them to watch it. This movie was a little gory but it didn't have so much gore that the plot was disrupted. Jaime Kennedy is overwhelmingly funny in this movie from him wearing green shoes to him quoting every horror movie known to man. Skeet Ulrich was the only person who disappointed me his acting wasn't that good they should have gotten someone like Johnny Depp or Luke Wilson for that part but other than that the movie was great. I would recommend this to men and women of whom are over the age or thirteen otherwise it may scar them all for life. I hope that this review was helpful to you!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Scream (1996)
Review: I don't know whether it was because I had heard so much good stuff about this or what, but it turned out rather disappointing. The film is very well acted, shot and often scary. However I thought the plot just went downhill after the opening sequence. The ending didn't satisfy me and in my opinion, it was a tad humorous but I felt it had a demented and crude side to it. The ghost-face villain was sometimes creepy, but had no atmospheric movements like other killers in other similar films did. I thought the film was pretty good, especially the opening sequence with Drew Barrymore, but the film went downhill quite a bit. I just think it got a little too many they-like-it-so-i-will-like-it reviews which made me a little disappointed. Otherwise, pretty good.
