Full Review Page

I tried watching Scream over 15 years ago and the swerve in the first 15 minutes pissed me off so much that I stopped the VHS and I haven't came back to the film until now. In the time in between, I had watched Scary Movie and Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th, so I had some vague ideas about the plot, but I was surprised at how meta Scream is. Scream knows that it's another stupid teen slasher movie, but it leans into it and deliberately subverts cliches and expectations. Characters are constantly referencing what would be happening if they were in a horror movie. It's damn near a parody of itself, to the point that Scream hits just as many comedy notes as horror. The cast is hit or miss (Neve Cambell is pretty bad, but Skeet Ulrich was great, and Matthew Lillard is hilarious) but none of the performances were terrible. The pacing was uneven with some scenes being way too long and uneventful. The biggest strength of Scream is that it doesn't take itself seriously.
