Scream (DVD) Reviews

Scream re-invented the horror slasher sub-genre when it was on its knees, all but dead in the mid 90s. Horror director supremo Wes Craven stylishly - and knowingly - brings screen writer Kevin Williamsons clever and also comedic script to life brilliantly. From the now classic opening scene featuring Drew Barrymore, you're ...  Read the complete review

I am very excited for the release of Scream 4 in the cinema and as the original was being broadcast on TV I thought I'd take the opportunity to watch this again. I have seen all three at some point in the past but probably in the wrong order and so it would be good to finally grasp the story as a whole. ~~~THOUGHTS ON ...  Read the complete review

I really love a good horror movie but unfortunately most of them are complete drivel. The scream movies are an exception during the course of three movies they manage to maintain a level of brilliance that is way above the usual standard in this genre and have been imitated time and time again. Plot The movie ...  Read the complete review

Next to "When A Stranger Calls Back", this film possibly has the best opening to a horror film....ever. And I know that's a bold statement to make! Scream is a gem of a horror movie from the mid 1990's that pokes fun and references past horror films, before this film was made, of course. But this is no ...  Read the complete review

In 1996 Wes Craven, director of classics such as The Hills have Eyes and A Nightmare on Elm Street, released what was to become one of the most popular and successful horror series of all time starting with this the first one - 'Scream'. It also spawned in years to come many spoof films too. Srcream is well worth watching and ...  Read the complete review

I love the movie Scream, it is so tongue in cheek and yet it works wonderfully as a horror movie as well as making you laugh in places. The whole idea of the film is to take every horror movie cliche and turn it around so that it now forms part of the plot of this film. The cast is pretty impressive as it features Courtney ...  Read the complete review

Last night the quest to make me like scary films continued, the latest offering being 'Scream.' As reluctant as I was (hiding behind my coat for the first 5 minutes or so) my friends stuck to their word and didn't deliberately jump at me to scare me, and I ended up quite enjoying this gory thriller. 'Scream' (1996) is the ...  Read the complete review

I'd like to start my review by clearing something up, Scream is not a cheesy horror like some people have claimed. The Urban Legands and I Know what you did trilogies are cheesy but Scream is simply tongue in cheek. It does play on all the old slasher movie stereotypes but not in the same way such films as 'Scary Movie' have, Wes ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room Scream is the start of a very successful trilogy of comedy horror films that were welcomed as very refreshing antidotes to the normal horror formula of a masked killer perfunctorily killing off a set of annoying teenagers. Whilst this film included those elements, it ...  Read the complete review

Scream in a horror slasher movie that was released in 1996. It was directed by Wes Craven, who is well known for directing the 'A Knightmare on Elm Street' movies. I noticed not many reviews make reference to the DVD itself, so I've added some information about the extras. OPENING SCENE The opening scene is very ...  Read the complete review

Scream was released in 1996, is a teen slasher film, and is the first in a trilogy. It revived this genre in the 90's and paved the way for more films like this to be released. Scream is rated 18 due to occasional strong language, mild sexual references and lots of horror, blood and gore. It is 111 minutes long. Plot In ...  Read the complete review

I can't believe this film is already over 12 years old! I thought I'd review this as despite it's criticism and mocking by other films (ie. Scary Movie), it was a classic of its time. Scream was released on DVD in 1997 and is rated certificate 18 due to violence, gore and language. It was directed by the famous Wes Craven, and ...  Read the complete review

Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), daughter of the aforementioned woman has been mentally scarred after the harrowing event from a ...  Read the complete review

For me, Scream is the film that re-defined the horror genre at the beginning of the 90s. It's set in the fictional small American town of Woodsboro where a masked murderer is terrorising the high school kids. The murderer's costume is excellent, with the distinctive mask based on Edvard Munch's famous painting 'The ...  Read the complete review

Scream is classed by most people as a comedy horror. It was made in 1997, before the likes of Scary Movie and other spoof horror movies, and for its time it was unusual and interesting, and therefore very popular. It is a film that does its best to make fun of the conventions of horror movies that have gone before it, whilst also being a ...  Read the complete review

---Now Chewable--- Another day, another box set. I love horror movies and though I've seen them all before, I felt compelled to buy this one (mostly due to the fact it was rather cheap at £10 for the whole set) to add to my collection. Who needs a life when you have box sets!? I have been kind (and sneakily greedy at the same ...  Read the complete review

'Scream' is probably one of the defining horror films of recent times. Directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson and released in 1996, the movie revived the 'slasher genre' with a tongue in cheek approach and clever language.I must admit I only saw the film for the first time, last year and having saw the much distasteful ...  Read the complete review
