At once a satire and a great horror movie...

"Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative!"

For horror fans, Scream should not require an introduction. Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho introduced the slasher genre in 1960 before John Carpenter reinvented it with 1978's Halloween, and then, 18 years later, Wes Craven's Scream revitalised the genre once again. Craven's tour de force arrived at the perfect moment. By ... read more

First we had A Nightmare On Elm Street in 1984, which became the breakthrough in the slasher category, and in 1996, we had Scream that also made a massive impact, not only for slasher films, but the thriller genre itself. Scream honors the older thrillers with the haunting music, the plot twists and turns and the rather basic yet extraordinary filmmaking that became the start of something new. Ho... read more

I remember it very well, when this movie was released, I was honestly not really interested. Eventually, there was a massive word of mouth (back in those days, that’s how it worked, there was no internet or social medias involved), everybody was talking about it so I was eventually eager to check it out. And, indeed, it was really good, the genuine rebirth of the slasher flick and an impressive ... read more

Description: Scream is at once a slasher film and a tongue-in-cheek position paper on the "dead teenagers" movies of the late 1970s/early 1980s that plays as half-parody, half-tribute. Much like Halloween, Scream spawned a series of sequels and inspired a large number of similar films -- its original working title, Scary Movie, became the title of the 2000 parody film by Damon Wayans.

" Someone, is taking their love of horror films too far, and is killing Sydney Prescott’s friends and fellow classmates? Is it horror nerd, Randy Weeks? Sydney’s brooding boyfriend, Billy, or high school weirdos, Stu? It could be anyone! Directed by Wes Craven, and written by Kevin Williamson, the film featured earlier performances by Neve Campbell, Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillsrd, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, It can’t be stressed how just of a hit, and what it did for horror films, in "

A true scream of a horror classic

“What can I say? Scream is a wonderful film, a classic of its genre and a real scream from start to finish. The production values are excellent with atmospheric photography and settings, Wes Craven's direction is to date one of his best directing jobs, the music is haunting and the sound effects unsettling. The acting from Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette is top notch, and GhostFace as a character is iconic. What struck me as truly impressive about Scream was its originality, the story is fresh and while there are some funny lines, there are some genuinely scary, jump-out-of-your-seat moments too. Overall, brilliant. 10/10 Bethany Cox” read more
