Scream

That is the genius of Scream. It’s a film that keeps the suspense and terror associated with other slashers, while obliterating the misogynistic rules of those films. It’s meticulously crafted, and after all this years, it’s still a masterpiece.

Billy is hot and he's a sexy psychopath, while Stuart is just too funny. I love the scenes where Scream falls; they're so hilarious!

Ok I finally gave in and watched this. Actually really enjoyable (I don’t like horror typically) but this was clever and occasionally funny which I liked. Onto scream 2!

Universal acclaim based on 901 Reviews

Doesn't know when to stop with the jokes about other horror movies and settle down to tell a coherent story.

John Hartl

Film.com

May not be the most scary or the grossest horror film you've ever seen, but it has one distinct feature: it actually talks up to the audience. By the conclusion, you won't be shaking in your seat, but you may enjoy the status of someone who has earned a Master's in Slashology.

Liam Lacey

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

Compared with most of what passes for scary movies these days, this is golden: It's not stupid, it's not wussy and it pulls off a couple of pretty nasty jolts.
