Scream
“What's your favorite scary movie?” -Ghostface
Maybe this one now? Time will tell for sure but this is at least for sure up there. I always think it's interesting watching an iconic movie that has been copied over time. I always have to remind myself that it isn’t something every movie does, because this is what started it. Scream established the blueprint for modern slashers, and even today, most movies in the genre seem to be chasing its shadow. It is just a perfect blend of comedy and horror. At no moment was I overly scared or overly cringing, and I think any movie lover could find their own enjoyment in the movie. Hearing that and you’re still skeptical, there is also a mystery aspect, so I can’t imagine you couldn’t enjoy it. The cast brings so many levels to the movie. You have your more established and some that are looking for that big break. They bring the world's personalities to this back road town, and everyone has to have their favorites. A horror movie making fun of horror movies then becomes one of the more iconic horror movies? What a wild concept and I am so glad I watched it and don’t own a home phone.
