DVD Talk (Jeremy Kleinman)
Simply stated, this a great film. Frightening and frighteningly self-aware, this film represents the best that the horror film has to offer, as well as a tremendous exposition of the patterns and themes prevalent in "slasher" films. It is quite violent...read the complete Scream (1996) review at DVD Talk (Jeremy Kleinman)

Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
A suburban town is terrorized by a series of grisly murders commited by a crazed psycho in a ghoul outfit who like to call his victims before pulling out their entrails.

This is a horror movie. If you want to see it cold, you probably shouldn't read this part of the review. That's why I put the recommendation up in the capsule review above....read the complete Scream (1996) review at FireBlade Coffeehouse DVD Reviews

Baltimore Sun (Ann Hornaday)
Indeed, Scream is better than the average slasher film, as its advertisers insist. And, indeed, it is probably Wes Craven's best film, as they also insist. But that is a little like saying the pimple on the left side of your nose is "better" than the...read the complete Scream (1996) review at Baltimore Sun (Ann Hornaday)

Ah, good times. I really miss these kinds of slasher films, especially in this day and age. I have seen some good slasher films this generation, but very few. In a day and age where the teens are raving about Prom Night (Unrated) (Which is still one of ...

The town of Woodsboro is being haunted by a series of brutal murders. But the focus seems to be Sidney Prescott (Never Campbell). But this isn't your normal serial killer. Instead, the killer has been influenced by the horror movies he or she has ...

I'm sure in this day and age it's appropriate to give "Scream" less than 5 stars. Plenty of folks will say how "unoriginal" the movie is, or how it's just a rip-off of a bunch of 80's flicks......and I say Bull***t.
"Scream" jump started the horror ...

Wes Craven, who has brought us great scares with A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, THE SERPENT & THE RAINBOW, THE HILLS HAVE EYES, RED EYE and THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. Wes tried to kill the slasher genre by making SCREAM. Which ...

Fan of Horror? How about slasher flicks like the ones from the 70's and 80's that are considered the classics?
Sit back and enjoy the revival of the great American Slasher/Horror genre by the master of horror himself, Wes Craven. Kevin Williamson gets ...

The opening sequence to this teenage slasher film is one of the most memorable scenes in Hollywood history. I know, that may seem like jumping the gun a bit, but it's not; believe me.
Think about it; Drew Barrymore alone in a house when the phone ...

SCREAM has it all: blood, terror, humour, parody, and a sensational cast. The opening scene w/ a captivating Drew Barrymore (E.T., Firestarter, Charlie's Angels, etc.) as the taunted victim is every bit as classic as the source material (When A Stranger ...
