Theatrical Release Information

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential video
With the smash hit Scream, novice screenwriter Kevin Williamson and veteran horror director Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street) revived the moldering corpse of the teen horror picture, both creatively and commercially, by playfully acknowledging the exhausted clichés and then turning them inside out. Scream is a postmodern slasher movie, a horror film that cleverly deconstructs horror films, then reassembles the dead tissue, and (like Frankenstein's monster) creates new life. When a serial killer starts hacking up their fellow teens, the media-savvy youngsters of Scream realize that the smartest way of sticking around for the sequel is to avoid the terminal behaviors that inevitably doom supporting players in the movies. They've seen all the movies, and the rules of the genre are like second nature to them. One of the scariest/funniest setups features a kid watching John Carpenter's seminal Halloween on video. As Jamie Lee Curtis is shadowed by Michael Meyers and the kid on the couch yells at her to turn around, Craven reverses his camera and we see that the kid should be taking his own advice. The fresh-faced young cast (including Drew Barrymore, Neve Campbell, Skeet Ulrich, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette) is fun to watch, and their tart dialogue is sprinkled with enough archly self-conscious pop-culture references to make Quentin Tarantino blush. --Jim Emerson

The scariest movie ever made!, February 20, 2000
By Gregory Baird (Morristown, NJ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Scream (VHS Tape)
I remember seeing this movie in its opening weekend just because my friends wanted to see it. I was completely unprepared for how terrifying it is. I was too afraid to be home alone for a while - and even answering the phone with people around made me nervous! It's clever and amusing, and keeps you guessing (and on the edge of your seat) right up to the end. This one is definitely the best of the series (Scream 2 being the worst). Don't see it unless you want to be scared.

the revivor of the slasher gerne, November 1, 2005
scream exploded onto the world with its scary scenes, pop-culture refrences, and its parody of old slasher movies. the first ten minutes in my terms are the one of the best opening sequences in horror history (along with halloween) were drew berrymore gets killed. and i know you liked it. the movie is basiclly about a killer who is stalking a teen who was the daughter of his first victom. simple enough story but then craven and williamson then juice it up with funny one-liners, a steller cast, lots of blood, and showing the rules of a horror pick. its been almost ten years since scream came out but it has still left a mark on the horror gerne. the success brought up two extremly clever sequels tha broke even more ground by being worthy sequels in the horror gerne. a feet never achived before and becoming the greatest slasher series of all time, a title that may never be beat. so see this cool flick and the sequels you will not be dissapointed.

Great slasher movie, June 18, 2005
By A. Ross "indy31" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There's more than a few reasons to hate `Scream'; the main reason would be that the film single-handedly resurrected the teen-slasher genre, a movie category that had long been beaten to death. Because of the success of `Scream', witless horror rubbish like `I Know What You Did Last Summer' and `Urban Legend' got greenlighted, half the teenage casts of various WB television shows got summer acting jobs, and some awful scripts that should've been left dead and buried `Teaching Mrs. Tingle' got to see the light of day. `Scream' is responsible for a lot of garbage. But the truth of the matter is, `Scream' is also a phenomenal movie.
Director Wes Craven was perfect for this film- as director of slasher classics like `Nightmare On Elm Street', he easily sets the visual feels and style of film to perfect evoke all the slasher films of yore . . . and then, much like `Scream's' script, chooses to either faithfully follow the tried and true, or to go off in competely unexpected directions. Either way, Craven manages to create a lot of absolutely nail-biting, thrilling scenes. He also doesn't hold back with the gore, which is always a plus in great slasher films.
The best slasher film of all time is still John Carpenter's `Halloween', without question, but `Scream' actually runs a close second. It's well worth watching.

I won't seperate my reviews for this series, even though I like `em all.
But why does the first one get so much credit, while the other two get so unfairly trashed? Read more
