Review of Scream (1996) by Steven1981 — 21 Mar 2020
Scream is a slasher horror/mystery film with everyone thinking who's the killer? Bits of humour are added and Scream was directed by Wes Craven in 1996 and it stars Drew Barrymore, Rose McGowan, Courteney Cox, Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Matthew Lillard and Henry Winkler who's Fonzy in Happy Days which was amusing to see him in this film.
This film is more or less the same or similar concept to the Halloween films or Friday the 13th films, someone going round in a mask killing people but it's always with a knife and a ghostface mask. The horror parts don't work and Scream isn't scary or terrifying one bit and some of the humour is good but others fall flat as a pancake.
Rose McGowan's character is likeable and Drew's but some of if not all the male characters are loud, annoying, dull or unlikeable and this feels more most of the time like a television comedy with blood more than a horror.
Some of the male acting is overacted into moronic stupidity and way over the top and the cops are dumb with little if any logical intelligence so this films just laughable and embarrassing. Truly awful and the films boring too which is the biggest sin of any director or film maker.
