Jamie Kennedy watching Halloween yelling the name “Jamie” at the screen . Jamie is the actress of Laurie Strode. So he’s yelling his own name to look behind you…That’s Hella meta.incredible
Never realized that. Damn thats good.
Wow, why did I never see that angle?!!
Good one man! 👍🏻
They really took there time with this movie there's all kinds of easter eggs and probably the newer ones too people will still be figuring out for some years to come
EXACTLY what I was getting ready to say!!!👏👏😆
Nice!!
Drew Barrymore said: "In the horror film genre, my biggest pet peeve was that I always knew the main character was going to be slugging through at the end, but was going to creak by and make it. What I wanted to do is to take that comfort zone away."
I never knew this. Thanks, Chris.
The best thing about Scream is the beginning. You would never think a well known actress like Drew Barrymore would be killed in a film, let alone the opening 5 minutes of it. But the second she's killed, the movie genuinely becomes a free for all because you as an audience member cannot tell who's going to be next.
Facts that whole scene sets off the tone of the movie brilliantly and Drew’s performance was outstanding and the actors who played Casey’s parents and her boyfriend were as well
That's literally what they say in the review. Why are you repeating it???
@@MsDragonbal776 I was merely making a comment before watching the video.
I'd say today the scene still holds up decently but because Drew Barrymore isn't a household name anymore, the effect is slightly toned down. But it's still a great scene, I remember showing my gf the first film and we were both exposed to Scary Movie first. She looked at me during this scene and was like "Babe...this isn't funny, this is actually kinda scary "
Psycho did it in 1960- though that was half way through the film.
I will always love Matthew Lillard's performance in this movie
“I always had a thing for ya Sid!”
@@ishathompson8439 apparently he improvised that line from what the trivia claims, which makes it even more notable that those two did eventually get married in real life after filming (and unfortunately divorced…). With that and the real life marriage/divorce of Courtney Cox and David Arquette, Scream is apparently a bad place for love to bloom
@@JustinZarian cool!
Slc punk
@@JustinZarian dated not married
Scream has aged very well. It manages to be intense but still humorous to keep you entertained
I think it does its mystery poor...
My favorite thing about Ghost Face is how easily he gets tossed around. His legs are in the air from falling more than his kills are. 😂
"I'm feeling woozy here" is one of my favorite lines I quote that shit too much
Me too!!!
It still holds up. Scream is one of my favorite movies ever
I totally agree
Same. Just rewatch it last mth. Totally holds up.
@@damianking2519 scream is unique cause after the first film we have 4 alive main characters plus 1 smaller one that all return plus sid's dad and they can kill 2 of them off in consecutive sequels now spoilers 3 after this new one and technically a pseudo main one from scream 4 as well whose killed in 5...most horror films don't get that luxury nor this many good actors in sequels and this premise...what they should of done is push the boundaries and made one of the main 3 a 3rd killer in the new one or maybe have them be apart of this from like movie 2 secretly as a retcon aka dewey after losing his sister trying to get revenge ...that could of added so much more to 5 imo...2 randoms again? ugh...even 3 and 4 had some connection to sid....I kinda wish they killed gale in 4 like it seemed like they were...dewey could go mad in 5 cause he lost her and wants to kill sid...the fact you get new ghostfaces is always a treat...
Interesting fact: During the scene where Billy and Sidney are talking in her bedroom about doing it, the song in the background, “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” is also hinting to the audience that Billy is the killer. Smart move Wes Craven 😁👍
Same song used in Halloween too
@@nvmfirezactaylor6035and X now too
@@ninanando oh really? Cool, that movie's been on my To Watch list for awhile. Gotta watch it soon 😀
Looking foward to more Retro reviews Double Toasted
Yeah 🔥
Same they home alone 3 review was hilarious 🤣
The possibilities are endless!
Retro Review Scary Movie when? 😁
Fun fact: Rose McGowan could fit through the door. She had to pretend to get stuck.
And her headlights were shining bright!
RIP Wes Craven!
[1939 to 2015]
Scream is an insanely clever movie that holds up phenomenally and my God am I excited for the new one this weekend.
Oh shoots the new one comes out this weekend no way, I’m going!
That’s a fact
I think it’s a nice touch they got Jack Quaid to be in this upcoming film.
“I see you as a young Meg Ryan myself.”
“Thanks Dewey, But with my luck. They’ll probably cast Tori Spelling.”
Scream was game changer in the early 90s without Kevin Williamson you won’t have teen slasher genre such as I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Faculty, Urban Legend, Halloween H20 and Scream 2.
1996 is not “the early ‘90s”.
@@Markunator Mid-90s
"without Scream, you wouldn't have Scream 2"
I felt that.
@Percell Gray it’s one of my favourite movies ever!
Oh my DT should definitely review urban legend!!
Ghostface popping up in the bushes and other random places makes total sense for it to be a gag from Wes Craven. And it also makes sense that we, the audience, don't know yet that actual humans are the person under the costume. Until the very end we have no idea whether it's an other worldly being or another student underneath it. So him/them popping up in these random places, I feel, is supposed to mock movies like Halloween/Friday the 13th but also keep us guessing whether or not they're human 🤷♂️
I love how clumsy Ghostface could be. Like yeah, two people under that mask with that costume, it would be hard to move around in that get up.
The script is the bomb, as is the film, some of THE most fun films you could watch.
@@michaelsinger4638 Agreed. I actually hadn't seen this in probably 5 years or more and I totally forgot how goofy and clumsy they are. And I never really processed it as a comedy before either but after hearing this whole take it's really opened my eyes and I enjoy it even more now
Lol huh? Nah man, it was clearly a person underneath the costume from the very first time we see ghostface we see how human he actually is.
@@doc8013 Yeah, I mean obviously it's a human figure. But Freddie, Jason and Michael Meyers are all also human figures wearing human clothes, too - but they are actually other worldy beings. So we know Ghostface is a human of some sort but we don't know that they're an actual non-superpowered human being until the final reveal
I so want a DT retro review of "the people under the stairs" or a bad movie review of "Vampire in Brooklyn".
I know this is am old comment I was Re watching this 1 and just wanted to
A) 2nd the motion of the people under the stairs retro review and
B) idk if it was b4 or after this comment but I do know that they have done the review for vampire in Brooklyn if you haven't seen it you can find it in their uploads 😸✌🏼
🧡🦇
Matthew Lillard is perfection in this movie. Seriously, amazing choices all around.
That hand gesture Billy was doing wasn’t guns. It was a reference to the girl’s head spinning in the Exorcist.
IMO Billy being the killer was too obvious because of his actions and dialog which made his "death" kinda work at first and led to an even bigger surprise at the end.
I will confess that the first time I saw the movie I didn't expect Stu to be one of the killers
He was supposed to be obvious. The big twist is that there were 2 killers.
Pretty much. Stu being a killer WAS a big surprise. He had been depicted as kind of a goof ball before that point.
Billy was weird from the start and the reveal made a lot of sense
I always felt it was obvious both were the killers even when I first saw it, but, kind of like Hot Fuzz, it’s less about WHO is the killer as it is WHY they are the killers. That’s when it gets really crazy and I love it for that.
30:08, this is why I fuckinggggg loove Scream 3. She evolves to the point where these sob stories, even her own, make her sick and angry. She tells the killer in 3 to take some fucking responsibility! 😂
You would too if you were on your 4th serial killer in 10 years
@@fdub301 5th actually. And Syd's shows no mercy in 4th movie she kills her niece and drops hard ass one-liners after.
@@jwm1444 4th actually. OP's comment was about the 3rd movie, the villain of which was the 4th serial killer Sydney had to fight
@@fdub301 Billy and Stu in 1, Debbie Loomis and Mickey in 2, that's 4 already so Roman would be 5.
@@jwm1444 I forgot it was 2 villains in scream 2, totally my mistake. I'll gladly take this L. But I will add that Mrs Loomis only killed Mickey & was not a serial killer
If anyone remembers the marathon Bravo used to do of the 100 scariest movie moments, Scream was one of the higher placed films.
Wes Craven commented that at the time he was stuck in a place where he didn't want to do another regular slasher film and he was at a signing and a kid came up to him and said "You know, I loved Last House on The Left. You should do something that really kicks ass."
Wes thought he might have been going soft, and decided to go all in with Scream, even to where he put real money up for known actors and actresses at the time, which really helped the film.
Wes famously walked out of the ear scene in Reservoir Dogs.
inspiration from a kid...nice!
I love how Chris mentions that stu (Matthew Lillard's character) survived he's in part 2 during the sorority party scene.
He is? I didn't see him.
Would love to see the DT crew review SLC Punk. Think that's an incredible performance by Matthew Lillard. Gotta purchase the DVD. Necessary addition to my film collection
He had blonde hair he's standing behind Randy when he passes the sorority sisters their drinks.
@@alamoja yeah he’s just an extra his hair looks different though he was visiting set to say hi and to see an Neve Campbell because they were dating at the time
He's not still alive they just had Matthew Lillard be an extra for that scene, do you really think they would still hang out with the guy that tried to kill them?
22:55 😜 "...I've known guys like this..." 😂🤣🤣🤣
I remember watching this in the theater in 1996 and walked home late in the evening. I have never been so paranoid in my life and I served 22 years in the military.🤣
Maybe you were more paranoid Because of the military
The Friends reference took me out🤣🤣
It was so on spot tho! 🤣
@@ishathompson8439 🤣🤣🤣
19:25 Given the whole movie is making fun of horror movie tropes, I thought them casting obvious adults as teenagers was an intentional choice on their part
Good point
The original will always be a classic. Some of it aged badly (the late 90s aged badly) but I think it’s biggest curse over the years has been the Scary Movie franchise. It’s always in the back of my head when I view certain scenes in the first two scream films
I stand with the Scream film franchise
saw it theatres when i was 15! the scene when jamie keneddy was saying "behind you" was one of the greatest things ever experienced in theatres! the whole theatre was literally screaming! lmao, ill never forget that!
Greater than the Andrew Garfield reveal?
@@fdub301 in the 90's, people acted different in the theatres. audiences then had waaaay more emotion than now..
@@fdub301 another example (from the 90's) was when they showed jason biggs (American Pie) humping the pie! The gasp from that scene was insane! the whole audience was laughing and going wtffff. lmfao
I’m die hard Halloween fan thanks to my mom. But I was born in 91’ and the scream franchise is most definitely the biggest horror franchise to spawn from my childhood 😱
Man I watch these movies every Halloween great way to set the mood
This was the edgy movie to put on during sleep overs in the 90s!
Bro, same.
I was born in 92’ and totally agree. Film is my life, horror is my favorite, but Scream is nostalgia that remains on play every few months
That IS Linda Blair cameoing as a reporter in the film. It's on IMDb.
I saw SCREAM in the theater the Saturday after the premiere. I was 14. Obviously they didn’t care about my age. I grew up with parents who showed me Nightmare on Elm Street and all the best horror so I was somewhat desensitized,
I knew from the start this was a masterpiece. But for some reason every time I hear you say SCREAM I keep going “Uahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” damn you Master P. 😜
Wanna know something strange? This movie was HUGE back in the day, but it seems to be buried and forgotten. Everyone talks about 80s horror, but when it comes to 90s they only remember the Blair witch.
@@laughingseal2282 Nope everyone definitely remembers Scream when it comes to 90's horror even if the Blair Witch Project is a part of the conversation.
@@laughingseal2282 honestly considering how scream had a TV series just a few years ago, and how they're releasing a new entry in the movie franchise soon? i don't think it's all that forgotten
This movie gave us:
One of the most iconic horror villains of all time.
One of the greatest heroines of all time.
Two of the best supporting protagonists of all time.
Some of the best lines and scenes in horror history.
Etc.
Of all time is a bit overkill but it was/is a genuinely fresh take that's held up extremely well. I love the attention to the small details. Like the end reveal that the killer is played by two individuals. They actually bothered to have the killer played by the actors (or stuntmen of the same heights) because the heights kept changing throughout the movie.
And the fonz as an authority figure
Who dare wins?
Ghostface Killer from the Wu Tang Clan vs. ghostface killer from scream trilogy.
Scream one of my favorite films of all time and to me it’s still holds up in today’s cinema because I’m 22 and I love it 😂😂😂
Now they’ve gotta cover the sequels and Scary Movie
Scream was not only the movie that got me into the horror genre, it’s the movie that made me fall in love with film in general. This movie means so much to me and it’s one of those movies where even when you know the twist, you can still rewatch it and start noticing the details.
One of my all time favorite movies and I’m excited for the new one with the Ready or Not directors at the helm and I’ve heard good things so far.
Scream did self awarness before it became common for everyone to do. If scream 5 want to duplicate the effect of killing drew barrymore. They gotta kill one of the og in the begining
I had the biggest crush on Matthew Lillard.
Still bummed you hardly see him in movies these days
You like Shaggy ;)
Bombastic, no jk he was in twin peaks season 3 last I've seen
I dressed up as Ghostface as a kid three times because of my love for this movie. Still holds up, easily.
This film was actually Drew Barrymore's comeback. I loved that they broke cinema rules by killing the biggest star that was in that film.
To this day I still get scenes from Scream confused with Scary Movie.
Same lol!
Lmao exactly! 😂 the opening act, Brenda at the theatre eating kitchen then getting stabbed by everyone bcuz she was being loud and annoying everyone 😅 and so many more scenes
I don't
Man this movie got a great remaster! Looks like it was shot yesterday
The 4k looks fabulous. The bluray, not as much.
One of the reasons why the Matrix looks good today was that it was filmed in 35mm, which is closer to 5K. It’s possible Scream was originally filmed in 35mm.
@@reikun86 That Matrix 4k looks so good. And I believe Scream WAS shot on 35mm
If you notice during Linda Blair's cameo, she's wearing crucifix ear rings.
Fun fact: Rose actually made it through the cat door when filming. They had to pin her shirt so she would give a convincing struggle.
I just found that out recently
53:51 was precursor to M. Night Shyamalan's movie Signs when the 👽 came out from the bushes.
That Scene in the
Groceries Store....
It was STRONGLY Hinted, within the Movie, that that was Actually a Prankster, NOT the Real Ghostface(s)/Killers....
Remember All of the Pranksters Dressed Up as Ghostface at the High School, at the High School Bathroom, etc.
No, thats a bad job of strongly hinting. Billy did a better job STRONGLY hinting he was the killer and he wanted s*x
I think Sydney on the porch calling ghost face out is the introduction to who she really is. Every movie she’s on the phone with dude scream2 at the sorority house talking shit/calling him out. scream 3 she takes back her power by “becoming the caller” She’s ballsy every movie
"I'm starting to get a little woozy here!"
You spend the whole movie thinking Billy is the red herring then at the end realize he actually is one of the killers. Brilliant execution.
There should of been 3 killers and stu fake dies like billy so randy is in on it too..but then they betray him and kill him...cause it's their plan he's just helping....obviously that means taking out the scene at the video store and maybe adding 1 more background forgettable girl to their friend group so there's no 5th wheel....but still...theres a way to make that work
I was very young when this came out 👀, but I never knew they were much older than the characters they played. They are truly babies in that movie, compared to now.
The "they don't look like teens" critique always annoys me because the same people who say that shit are the first to jump on a child actor for not being as good as an adult actor in the movie.
Please review the "Friday" movie franchise. Please
*malibus most wanted* bad movie review 🍿 would be 🔥 🔥
You got it
@@stevenpina1983 yeah I was happy as hell when it dropped
Man as a horror fan I miss Wes Craven. I liked New Nightmare. I’d say it was 3rd behind the original and Dream Warriors. Fill in the rest and put Freddy’s Dead at the end.
The best way to celebrate the new scream movie
I remember when this movie came out. I knew nothing about it. The movie we wanted to see was sold out, and we snuck into this one. I loved it!
What movie were you supposed to see ?
@@replicacity92 probably Independence Day
Late with this review by a month !
The movie officially turned 25 December 20th
Still amazed I watched it so young but loved it
My first introduction to Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette
Really happy Wes Craven managed to revitalize the slasher genre in the 90s when it was starting to wane
Love all these 90s actors and this soundtrack
Kevin Williamson knew how to write dialogue for teenagers
Equally scary and equally funny deconstructing the horror movie tropes and cliches with tons of meta references
New Nightmare was the precursor but this solidified it
Very sad how all these murders stemmed from Sidney Prescott's mother but it all ties back
Scream also lead to the creation of caller ID on phones
Happy I got to dress up for Halloween as Ghostface
Super excited for movie 5
Tatum had no choice but to try go through the cat door as Ghostface was standing by the door.
Can y’all please do Nightmare on Elm St 2, Freddy’s Revenge. Billy and Corey would have a field day with it
The movie about coming out lol
If you want to be deeply depressed and entertained watch Mr Ballen's channel where he did a review of the actual murders that inspired the 'Scream' movie.
A 90s Gem!!! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯Scream reinvented the horror genre and breathed new life in the slasher flick!!! It created and inspired other 90s Teen Horror flicks such as Halloween H20, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Faculty, House on Haunted Hill, An American Werewolf in Paris, Urban Legend, Valentine, Final Destination and so countless other copycats horror films.
Biggest hint that Billy was the killer was in the soundtrack when he first introduced the song that's playing is Don't fear the reaper 💀
Killers of the Scream films:
Scream 1- Sidney’s Boyfriend and Boyfriend’s Best Friend.
Scream 2- Sidney’s Ex Boyfriend’s Mother and fellow colleague.
Scream 3- Sidney’s long lost half brother.
Scream 4- Sidney’s cousin and cousin’s lover.
Scream 5- 🤔...We Shall See.
Scream 5- Sidney’s weed dealer
Sidney’s dad maybe? I don’t know lol.
I think for the first time it will have nothing to do with the old cast but they take it personally.
Not only does the movie not listen to its own lessons, the characters don't listen to their own lessons. After complaining about how the girl always runs upstairs instead of out the front door, what does Sidney do when Ghostface shows up? That was 100% intentional.
Damn, Chris dropping jewels in this one!
"Why's the teacher from my last class..." Marty is this show's true MVP.
In the sequel, Randy's "British" accent as a defense mechanism to the extreme pain and trauma from the original murders is great writing. It hit too close to home with a friend back when it was released. I understand the writing behind Randy's fate, but I'm not against the "Justice For Randy" campaign, they have my vote lol.
The Scream voice is also the voice of MOJO JoJo.
and RIP to Wes Craven he was a good director and his memories will live on and it sucks he not directly the new Scream movie that coming out this week since this is his genre and i hope the new scream movie will be good since its a January movie and January movies are usually bad movies
Early reviews have been saying it's really good!
Early reviews have been great & I have faith in the Directing Duo for this one! It's the same guys that directed 2019's Ready or Not that I loved. They seem to have a good understanding of how to balance comedy with horror which is perfect for this franchise!
@@VannotheDawn1 yeah that good and I just saw it and I really did enjoy it too
@@DevilFan669 that's what's up! Glad u enjoyed it!
Juicy is right Linda Blair does cameo as the obnoxious reporter!
42:55 It's always funny when someone dies from a TV on their head. See also Grosse Pointe Blank and Nightmare on Elm Street 3 The Dream Warriors
This is what happens in the movie! The movie begins with Ghostface attacking Tara (Jenna Ortega) and leaves her for dead, but she actually survives. Tara's sister Sam (Melissa Berrara) returns to Woodsboro with her boyfriend Richie (Jack Quaid) to care for her. Dewey has tired as sheriff and has been replaced by Judy Hicks. He is close to Judy's son Wes who is also friends with Tara. The Ghostface killer shows up and lures Judy into a trap in broad daylight while she's driving and she's dead. Dewey teaches Wes the rules of survival and decides to call up Gale and Sidney to help him deal with the new killer. Sidney is married living in Chicago, while Gale is living in Los Angeles after separating from Dewey. Ghostface targets Tara at the hospital. Dewey goes to her rescue, but ends up killed. YES, ONE OF THE MAIN TRIO FINALLY DIES. SHOCKING. People did say he was the most likely candidate. Anyway, this enrages Sidney and Gale who vow for revenge. The women, along with Sam, investigate Tara's friends which includes Wes, Tara's friend Amber, Randy Meeks' niece, Chad (Omar Gooding), Chad's girlfriend Liv (Sonia Ben Ammar) and Mindy (Jasmine Savoy-Brown). There's also a dude named Vince (Kyle Gallner) who stalks Liv. They learn that the new Ghostface killer is doing a "Requel", following up on the original killings and all have connections to past victims including Sam who is the secret illegitimate daughter of Billy Loomis! OH WOW! We then come to Stu's house where Liv and her family now live. The killers turn out to be Richie and Amber, secretly in love and wanting to bring the killings to a new generation. Amber is the mastermind though. They plan to frame Sam for the killings. Sidney and Gale have suspected Sam for a while, but realized it was Amber and Richie. The duo kills Wes, Chad, Liv, and Vince. Sam kills Richie, and Sidney kills Amber. Sidney, Gale, Sam, Tara, and Mindy survive to see another day. THE END. No Stu returning, no KIRBY. Kirby is dead people so stop craving her to return. She was stabbed in the gut deep and left to bleed out for a while before help arrived. Jill also tells Dewey she's dead while in hospital and he doesn't correct her, only when she stated Sidney was probably dead too. KIRBY IS DEAD.
Just a note : garage doors did *not* always have those sensors that send the door back up when it detects something in it's path. I was nearly crushed by my parents garage door in the early 90's when no such sensors existed. My dad had to run out to the garage after hearing me scream and had to cut the power to the door because it was just trying to pound my 10 year old body into the cement underneath me lol 🤣
Not new nightmare slander before the review begins lol
I just got the notification that the Miami showing has been cancelled, I can't just visit Orlando :(
Drew was the one believing in the script, shopping it around, secretly being the first producer
I remember being obsessed with this movie as a kid. Such a fun movie! Great review, per usual! Lol
First horror movie I ever got all the way thru as a kid
Edit : Also, I just find it incredibly funny that Billy managed to get Drew Barrymore's character to basically cheat on her boyfriend in essence over the phone
Pretty sure that was Stu.
@@AceOfSevens na, Stu was more erratic, Billy was more of the smooth Talker. Listen to the clip of Stu on the phone after Billy's in jail. You'll see the difference
I think the whole "hiring old people to play teenagers" was a purposeful part of the joke, not a mistake in the casting
Scary Movie did a good job spoofing this
I've seen this movie a million times and I never noticed ghost face creeping in the background until this review.. I'll be dammed 🙃
🧡🦇
This movie did so much for the Horror Genre back in its day, still good to watch to this day
Pretty much rescued the genre.
Duh
Speaking of slashers, it's not too late to do a retro review/roast of Jack Frost 🧐 I'd also love to see you guys talk about Final Destination
When I saw the thumbnail I assumed you guys were doing scary movie, hopefully in the future
Sidney doesn't know the killer messes with people. Casey & Steve died, so no one knows about the phone calls on the Ghost Face costume until after the scene where Sidney escapes.
Fun fact: I saw Scary Movie first so the film never had the same effect on me as it did with other people. It's still good tbh but I just never found it that scary, every time I see Ghostface I just think "WAZZUP!!!!"
Have to admit i cant look at david arqutte and not think special officer doofy 😂 even when he's in a different movie
MTV Movie Award winner for best film. It was a phenomenon.
One of the most fun and rewatchable comedic horror films ever. Quotable lines, memorable scenes, likable characters, and it even managed to be scary on quite a few occasions. Even rewatching it last year, the film totally held up.
Also, I’ll never not laugh at that bit when Mathew Lillard gets hit by the phone!
I KINDA WANNA WATCH SCREAM NOW
I love the scream movies. I just wish they had a memorable score like the Halloween, and Jason movies.
Man, what you smokin' Corey? Neve definitely looks like a HS student! She looks so young in the first Scream.
Neve looks 20 to me...maybe 19...but not under that
I read the original Scream Script by Kevin Williamson. The daytime ghostface appearances were described as "something you would miss on a first viewing" there were also a lot more scenes of ghostface stalking Sidney. I just thought that was interesting.
RIP Wes Craven.
Scream killing Drew Barrymore was like Psycho killing Janet Leigh. Looking back, modern audiences may not quite grasp how big these stars were, and how high the expectation for them to be the stars of these movies was. So I think both movies have aged well, but in each case, you do lose some of that genuine SHOCK.
Is that the Grim Reaper from Family Guy killing all them teens in Scream? 😂🤣
Henry Winkler should have known he was going to die Freddy Krugger was cleaning outside his office.
The opening may be the most technically brilliant scene of this movie but I honestly think Scream has been a quietly thematically potent film that has only become more relevant in what it says in its third act regsrding patriarchal violence, and the way it so handily disrupts and dismantles that. Scream 2 is also excellent but its stab (haha) at meta commentary relating to blackness in mainstream horror is undercooked compared to the whole series (esp. The original's) conversations around trauma and gender in the slasher subgenre.
I think Scream is on a shortlist of the most sexually astute slashers and part of that is how it interrogates sex and violence in its audience. Brilliant stuff.
By the way, Rose McGowan actually could fit through that cat door. She had to fake not being able to to make the take... Wonderful review!
While Scream was a particularly clever example of characters being aware of the genre they're in, it didn't invent the idea, and it wasn't even the first example in horror. For instance, Fright Night (1985) did it with vampire movies. Also, if you're into REALLY old movies, see Arsenic & Old Lace (1944), which kind of did to thriller plays what Scream did to slasher movies.
26:39 Waynes brothers joke
Omg I have not watched this movie since I saw it in the cinema back in 1996, date night with my college sweetheart. I loved this movie, loved Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich.
