Summary: " What's your favorite scary movie ? "
Review: Ahhh...what can I say about ' scream ' that hasn't already been said ? This is the movie that refreshed a horror gerne and introduced a gerenation to " the rules " of surviving horror movies. The movie starts with an infamous opening that all started with a phone. But the story really focuses on a young teenager named Sidney Prescott ( who lost who mom one year before to a tragic rape/murder ) who gets thearenting phone calls. There are her horror-movie loving friends who are considered suspects. There is Tatum, Sidney's bold/sassy best friend. Randy Meeks, the friend who has a love for horror movies. Billy Loomis, Sidney's paitent but troubled boyfriend. Gale Weathers, the noisy reporter. Stu, Tatum's boyfriend. And Dewy Riley, Tatum's brother and officer in the police force. And in the end, we get a great ending, with surpising twist and motive.

I think I would probably conder this Wes Craven's second best (behind a nightmare on elm street of course ! ). It has everything a slasher flick needs . It has gore, suspense, mystery, and above all.....self-assuranced teens who think they know horror movies rules but don't know what to do when they realize they are in one. This movies starrs Neve Campbell, Jamie Kennedy, Rose McGown, Skeet Ulrich, Drew Barrymore, and Matthew Lillard.
This is a great slasher flick for a dark friday night. The extras on the DVD include trailer, audio commentry with director and screenwriter, and also interviews with the cast and crew. I would recommend to ANYONE who enjoys slashers!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: favorite horror movie
Review: The casting department did a great job of picking the right people for the right parts. A combination of Kevin Williamson's clever script and Wes Cravens masterful direction made this into a great movie. The opening scence with Drew Barrymore is similar to the opening scene with Carol Kane in "When A Stanger Calls".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great 90s slasher flick!
Review: Scream starts out with Drew Barrymore being terrorized by the killer. Barrymore is very effective and the scene builds with great intensity until she is ultimately butchered.

The film is patchy at times, but it is nonetheless very entertaining.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: scariest movie in years
Review: Scream is one of the most clever horror movies to burst onto the screen in years.Unlike other horror movies, Scream manages to be extremely terrifying at some points, and delightfully clever at others, as the characters make subtle references to past horror classics. Our story begins at the Becker residence, where Casey Becker is getting ready to watch a scary movie. Until she suddenly gets a call from an unknown person inquiring her favorite scary movie. After having a brief talk about horror movies, our unseen character lets it slip that he is watching Casey, and is someone near the house. This is where the true terror begins, and the story begins to get interesting. The killer now knowing that Casey knows he is near threatens to gut her boyfriend [who he has captive on the back deck] unless she can answer a question about a scary movie correctly. Upon getting the question wrong, her boyfriend is gutted, and the killer begins pursuing Casey. The next day, we meet up with Sydney Campbell, a friend of Casey's who is crushed by the murder.It doesn't help that Sydney is recently mourning over the loss of her mother a year ago, and her boyfriend Billy might just be the murderer. With a killer on the loose in the town, some of the high schoolers decide to have a party to celebrate that they don't have school because of the deaths. With rampant partying going on, no one seems to notice that the killer is among them, killing them off. It all boils down to the final fight between Sydney and the killer, who has his own reasons for wanting Sydney dead. Although many may be turned off by the explicit violence and blood, and others may not like it just for the fact that it's a teen horror movie, that's no reason to miss out on one of the scariest movies ever.
Body Count:8
Rated R, for strong horror violence,gore, and language
Best Death: Drew's death, or crushed by garage
