Scream (1996) Review.

*** Scream (1996) *** Review

Scream Starring Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courtney Cox, Rose McGowan and Skeet Ulrich. The film has a great mixed of bone chilling suspense and witty dialogues. The film is scary, tightly structured, and often effective as a straight horror film. I really enjoyed the in-jokes and the self-aware characters and the incredible level of gore in this film. The script and dialogue was just very cleverly crafted with well developed characters and very original killing scenes. The film is also very original and entertaining with great suspense throughout, great plot, and a smart way of making fun of itself and all other great scary flicks. The film is directed with precision by the master of horror Wes Craven, who populates the film with tons of neat little in jokes as well. The script and dialogue by Kevin Williamson is very intelligent and smartly written. I just love the opening sequence with the taunting and eventually brutal phone call is very gripping and I still have fond memories of Rose McGowan going out to meet her demise in the garage doggie door. The acting was very great with intense and very emotional performances by all the actors in the film. I will give it an A+.
