'Scream' was one of the best thrillers I've seen recently, there was comedy as well as thriller elements and it wasn't until the end that I was sure of who the killer was because the clues given to you throughout the film were then given another reason for being there (for examples Billy's "cellular telephone".
The three basic rules* of the film were as follows:
- You may not survive the movie if you have sex.
- You may not survive the movie if you drink or do drugs.
- You may not survive the movie if you say "I'll be right back."
The killers then added their own extra three rules*:
- You may not survive the movie if you ask "Who's there?"
- You shouldn't go out to investigate a strange noise if you wish to survive.
- Never believe the killer is dead, as he'll return for one last scare...
These rules helped the audience to determine who they think will be next to die.
'Scream' also pointed fun at itself, with Sidney saying (about the female victim in thrillers) "when she is running up the steps when she should be going out the front door...", which is exactly what she does only a few minutes later.
Overall I would give scream 9/10
