Scream Review May 14, 2008

Scream is a suspenseful slasher with fine score by Marco Beltrami. The dialog and acting are good. Unfortunately, the 2.35:1 widescreen DVD is NOT enhanced for 16:9 TVs, but the picture and sound are very good, though.
GOOD, BUT NOT ORIGINAL!! April 16, 2008

There has been movies that deals with a killer calling his soon to be victim.
The story line was kinda original, if you like Wes Craven's stuff I would stick with a "Nightmare on elm Street"
I rate this movie a 7 from 1to10!!
 Entertaining slasher but not scary at all. March 31, 2008

Scream is one of my favorite slashers but I don't like it the way I use to. Even though I don't consider this a horror movie and it doesn't scare in the slightest. Scream did breath some new life into the slasher genre that was very close to being dead. Plus there are things that Scream does right. It is entertaining for one thing. The suspense is there plus the acting is solid to me. I really liked the way they payed homage to other horror films and the plot twist was pulled off well. The gore is decent at best.
The pace was pretty good and I liked the way the rules of horror movies were being used. Even though Scream comes off more as a teeny bopper. It does it's job in being a watchable movie. And looking at slasher movies these days that's saying alot.
This is what happens when you see too many scary movies! February 7, 2008

When "Scream" first came out, 12 or 13 years ago I loved it. Because it seemed to be such a funny and clever film. Keep in mind, I was 12 when I first saw this movie. I just watched "Scream" the other day on Encore Mystery (because heaven knows that network TV has gone to hell in a handle basket!) and experienced a totally different feeling about this movie.
This movie is just a ridicules farce because it's such a cliche. If anyone is over the age of 12 and can't tell who the killer is then he or she probably had a lobotomy. And, most of the characters were so annoying. The 2 killers acted like they totally wanted to get in each other's pants, they didn't seem like murderers. Courteney Cox (as Gale Weathers) was so foolish because she's such a lousy actress. Courteney Cox' acting (in)capabilities rival that of Madonna. The only good scene with her was when she got punched in the face.
I did like Rose McGowan (as Tatum Riley.) She came off as believable. But why did they have to kill her? And I sorta liked Jamie Kennedy (Randy) because he was so funny, "virgins don't get killed." But overall, most of the movie is really not worth watching.
The best part of the movie is the beginning with Drew Barrymore (as Casey Becker.) Drew was only in that first clip, but she still received star billing. She's not in the rest of the movie, but her first scene is certainly the very best because she's really the only true actress in this movie. (BTW, am I the only one who thinks that Drew was wearing a really fugly-looking wig?)
There are also a few aspects of this movie that are fundamentally wrong:
1) Neve Campbell - She's not a very good actress either. The producers should of shelled out a few more bucks so that Drew would of stuck around for the entire movie.
2) Tatum being killed - In all horror movies the good friend/nice girl is never killed off. I don't get why they had to kill her off.
3) The 2 stupid nimrod-killers weren't even frightening - And, they also explained everything at the end in detail. Who does this? This is so ludicrous!
I was going to give the movie a 2 star rating, not 3 stars because it's really a 2 and a half star movie at the very best. But I figured I would be generous and round up to a 3. Sweet dreams are not made of these.
