Scream
Scream is a
1996
horror film, directed by
Wes Craven and written by
Kevin Williamson. The film
revitalized the
slasher film genre in the mid
1990s, similar to what
Halloween (1978) did for the
1970s, by using a standard concept with a
tongue-in-cheek approach that
successfully combined straightforward scares with dialogue that
satirized slasher film conventions. The film features many
teen idols of the time, including;
Neve Campbell,
Rose McGowan,
Skeet Ulrich,
Matthew Lillard,
Jamie Kennedy,
Drew Barrymore,
Courteney Cox,
David Arquette and
Liev Schreiber.
Scream became a major commercial success
upon its release, and was one of the
highest grossing films of 1996. It
was also highly acclaimed by many critics worldwide, who appreciated
the film's tongue-in-cheek approach. It got an 86% rating at
rottentomatoes.com.As a result it spawned two sequels,
Scream 2 and
Scream 3.
A signature device, started in Scream and
continued in
Scream 2 and
Scream 3, was the typical
"rules" for that type of horror movie being stated by the
characters.
In Scream, those rules (as described by Randy) are:
-
You may not survive the movie if you have sex.
-
You may not survive the movie if you drink or do
drugs.
-
You may not survive the movie if you say "I'll
be right back."
-
You may not survive the movie if you ask "Who's
there?"
-
You shouldn't go out to investigate a strange
noise if you wish to survive.
