This should get more response than my previous thread about Underworld, and it's a film I hold dearly to me. So again, let's discuss.

It may be just me, but I thought Scream was a very original horror film. Wes Craven, one of my favorite director's had done it again with a great movie. One of the reasons why I liked this film so much, was the fact that these characters could be us. Like the tagline says "Someone has taken their love for scary movies one step too far." It's a long shot, but of most of the horror films made during the 90s, this one I was proud of.

Anywho, along with the discussion of Scream, I thought we can also bring up some of your feeling towards Wes Craven. Are you a fan? Do you have a favorite film of his? Like that. The cast for Scream was quite decent for me, except I still don't know why they always insist on hiring actors in their late twenties to play teenagers. Other than that - the casting at least, I thought Skeet Ulrich who played the character of Billy Loomis was the best in the movie, I totally believed his character and motives towards his killings.

Many people hate this movie. And maybe they should, but Scream still stands as the best of the genre it may have possibly invented i.e. the "slasher-wannabe" genre. As for it's sequels... they were alright, but nothing compared to the original. Ok, time for bashing.
Now, what do you think?
