What's your Favourite Scary Movie?? Well
this is mine!
Scream Re-invented the Horror film by
turning itself onto itself. The mocking of past Horror Flicks is
frequently referenced to in the film, such as Freddy Krueger or Halloween and it
is this mocking that makes the film.
Stacked full of Pretty Young Girls and not
that bad looking Males this film was targetted towards the younger audience but
it still entertains the older Generation.
Wes Craven who at the time was most Known
for his Diabolical Freddy Films, has re injected himself with a new life and he
is using this new health to cash in on the buzz created by Scream.
What I liked so much about Scream is the
Way that probably one of the biggest actors (In This film that is) or there
abouts is killed off in the first few minutes.
The pacing of this sequence links directly
to our heart and we begin to feel in the same shoes of Casey(Drew Barrymore)
The phone call is innocent and the man seems charming, chatting away about
movies and then suddenly we are into the main ingredience of the film -
Death.
The Script by the Dawson Creek Creator
Kevin Williamson is top notch and it never falters all the way through.
The Performances by most of the actors is
satisfactory and they all link well to create a beleavable situation.
If you Are a fan of Horror Movies or are
simply Bored to your back teeth with them, then Scream will change your opinion.
Excellent
Trivia

Scream
was originally to be filmed at Santa Rosa, Ca High School. When the school
board read the script they objected to the violent nature and the production
was moved to Healdsburg, California. So near the end of the credits, there
is a message saying "No thanks whatsoever to Santa Rosa, Ca High". |

The school janitor
Fred (played by Craven) can be seen wearing a Freddy Krueger sweater and
hat. |

When Casey's parents
come home and see that something is wrong, her father says to her mother,
"Go down the street to the Mackenzie's house...'' which is a quote from
Halloween (1978). |
