What did I think about this movie? As a film critic, I liked it. I liked the in-jokes and the self-aware characters. At the same time, I was aware of the incredible level of gore in this film. It is really violent.

Scream is a rarity: a horror movie spoof that succeeds almost as well at provoking scares as laughs.
