Scream
[DVD Info]

Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) gets a phone call one night by a deep voiced stranger who wants to play a game. A little movie trivia. If she answers correctly he won’t kill her boyfriend, who’s out on her patio duct taped to a chair. She tries to answer the questions but gets them wrong and her boyfriend dies. She’s next, getting herself strung up with her own intestines (while her mother listens helplessly on the line) by a man in a ghost mask.

Meet Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), a virgin girl with a horny boyfriend, Billy (Skeet Ulrich). Her mother was raped and murdered almost a year ago and the news of Casey’s murder brought back the memories of her death. Soon Sidney starts to get the same threatening phone calls that proceeded Casey’s death. With her father missing and her boyfriend who seems to conveniently show up right before or right after being attacked, she doesn’t know whom to trust. Slowly, one by one, Sidney’s friends get picked off according to the rules of horror movies. Will Sidney find out who the killer is before it’s too late?

Murderers like to choose victims who live in heavily wooded areas.
You should be over witnessing your mother's brutal rape and murder by a years time. Geez!
Losing your mother by divorce and losing your mother by murder are technically the same thing.
A full basket of groceries equals two plastic bags.
Rose McGowan is always cold.

"You better 'liver' alone. Hahahahaha. 'Liver'." ~Stu.

Does Neve Campbell’s whiney voice grate on anyone else’s nerves?

This was the ultimate horror spoof that started them all in the early 90’s. If you’ve never seen this movie it can only be for one of three reasons. One…you’re terrified of scary movies (like some people I know) and refuse to see it. Two…you’re too young to see it. Or three…you’ve been living under a rock for the past 15 years. A lot of people are pissed off about this movie (namely the horror purists out there). My love for horror movies is new, but I can see why they’re mad (even though I’m not mad). Since Scream, I can honestly say that not one serious horror movie has come out…with a few exceptions (The Ring and probably a few others I can’t think of right now). This movie was the first time someone blatantly pointed out “the rules” and they rang true. That isn’t what bothered me. What bothered me were the lame jokes they slipped in. Sidney’s friend Tatum saying “you’re talking about stuff, like out of a Wes Craven film”, and the janitor, wearing an orange and gray stripped sweater and his name being Fred. I am, of course, just being nitpicky and it’s all stemming from my new love of cheesy (but AWESOME) horror movies. Oh well. It’s still a good movie, still a classic. Look out for cameos by “the Fonz” and Linda Blair. Haha, oh well. If you haven’t seen this movie, go see it…it’s pretty good. No real plot here…just watch the pretty people getting murdered. Wheee. Because of this, the jury gives this flick:
