Which do you prefer better? Horrors or comedies? because if you particularly like comedies for the most part at the least and could care less about horrors because they scare you, then this is the movie for you.
Plot: This all starts out when a High school girl and his boy-friend are found in her house gutted. the film then moves to Sidney Prescott who goes to the same high school as the two teen that were murdered. Sidney begins to develop fears about the killer as he/she attempts to kills her in her house shortly after the first two deaths. The matter gets more curious as more people die in the hand of this killer.
The best part of this film to me at least is how it completely balances the comedy and the horror in this film. because while it's serious with all the deaths occurring, it has a way of making fun of all the horror movies in the past making it funny. I personally could care less about horror movies concerning how they often creep me out good or bad. so when it comes to this film, the comedy just help make the film much more entertain while still a little scary.
Acting/Characters:
Neve Campbell/Sidney Prescott: one thing I will say about appearance with Campbell is how in this film she kind of looks like Linda Hamilton to me. that aside she was a fun character and did a good job with her role.
David Arquette/Dewey Riley:He didn't seem to be that much into it but i think that's mostly the idea for his character being this inexperienced cop and a bit of a push-over.
Courtney Cox/Gale Weathers: I've come to know Courtney Cox well so far while i'm going through the season of Friends. Which in a way spoils it as far as her character slightly because i see so much of her character in that show. energetic, big smile, very friendly tone, which works plenty with her character being a reporter which there's nothing wrong with that, but i felt they could given her a little more to show more of her coldish determination to just get her story which they did earlier but it began to fade which work but still.
Skeet Ulrich/Billy Loomis: I liked his character as far as how he was this teenage Jake Dawson in a way, and not just by appearance. But what makes his character just as nice is when he shows his crazy self later on that just drives everyone crazy.
Matthew Lillard/Stu Macher: He was a wacky due from beginning to end. nuff said.
Music: they were pretty good. helped plenty to raise the suspense.
Editing: it was very good it worked very well in terms of telling this particular story.
and that is my review for Scream. it's scary, yet funny, and i just totally enjoy it for that.
