Description:
A crowd-pleasing smash hit with a sizzling cast -- critics are calling SCREAM the hippest thriller of the year! Afer a series of mysterious deaths, a seemingly peaceful community becomes a place where no one is safe ... and everyone is suspect! That's when an offbeat group of friends rally to unlock the town's deadly secrets ... and get caught up in a lively mix of thrills, chills, and surprises! With hot stars Drew Barrymore (CHARLIE'S ANGELS), Courteney Cox (TV's FRIENDS), Neve Campbell (54), Skeet Ulrich (AS GOOD AS IT GETS), and David Arquette (BEAUTIFUL GIRLS).
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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Thriller fun and fresh
This fun and fresh thriller will leave you on the edge of your seat and prepared for Halloween every year! A must-watch movie for the thrill seeker!
Rating: - AWESOME!! Especially the first time
This movie is great every millionth time you see it but there is nothing like the first time. The first time is great when you don't know who the killer is and you're guessing all the way through. It's extremely spooky the first time you watch it and thats the whole point. It's your typical teen slasher but it came at a time when a teen slasher wasn't typical. Of course now everybody tries to make stupid teen horror movies but nothing comes close to Scream! Scream 2 and 3 are also good but of course ... Read More
Rating: - Great Experience
Got the movie in excellent condition. A little later than expected but Amazon took care of the confusion right away. Thanks Amazon
Rating: - A mix
scream has those quick jumping parts you now when you don't expect it some one pops in other than that its more of a comady than horror but i think the twisting of the plot and humor pull this all into a movie you can sit down and watch i enjoy watching over and over kinda like those movies you have laying around and pop in every now and then.
Rating: - Another great trilogy.
Scream started off by making fun of the other established horror franchises.
It succeeded brilliantly.
My favorite line in the movie?
"What do you want?"
"To see what your insides LOOK LIKE!!!".
UUGH, terrible, but in a good way.
A great script, fast and fun with great acting, a great cast and a super ending.
Scream started out the new horror wave that was hip and cool.
A must see for horror fans, I just wish they had come up with a better costume for the ... Read More
