if the answer is yes then you've probably seen this already. Scream is really a great film which has humour, scares and suspense by the bucketload. Wes Craven is always the man to deliver the shocks and they don't get much better than the opening to this film. It's scary, tense and has a climax which is nothing less than ...

This is very simple, if you haven't seen Scream you should definitely watch it as soon as possible (unless you have an incredibly weak stomach), if you have seen it you know how good it is. The rules of horror movies are explained, and the killers in Scream never waver from them. The film constantly pokes fun at itself, and ... Read the complete review

Wes Craven returns to the top of the movie ladder. He has reinvented a genre I sadly thought died with Freddys Revenge ! That genre is the horror movie. What Craven has done is made them hip, sexy, funny and above all intriguing, gone are the days of some stupid paranormal killer who we all know the identity of, and in is the mysterious, ...
