Scream is the film that resurrected teen horror movies, most bad, some good, but this movie is god tier level, the opening scene is one of the best in film history, the perfect tension buildup to Drew Barrymore's characters' eventual death. Watching this film for the first time was great, I thought I would dislike it because I am not into teen slashers, but wow!!! The plot twist of two murderers on a second watch can be quite obvious, there are subtle hints that Craven throws at us and they can be missed easily. Sidney is the "Scream Queen" of the horror genre alongside Laurie Strode from the Halloween franchise, you might think at first she is your typical, annoying female teenager without an ounce of intelligence, but she is strong, she gets out of these situations unlike others.
Stu Macher and Billy Loomis are two of the most beloved characters from the franchise, Stu provides great comedic relief during the "big" reveal of two killers at the end of the movie. There was a lot of suspense, but somehow Stu manages to make it hilarious and let's not forget his most epic quotes, "I'll be right back!", "Peer pressure, I'm far too sensitive", "My mom and dad are going to be so mad at me!" Especially when Billy accidentally hits Stu with the telephone and Stu gets really p***ed! It doesn't ruin the tension, in a way it builds it up more. Billy is more of a serious character, he is a horror movie fanboy who has taken one step too far and decided to become a psychopath, Stu is badly influenced by this, like he said, "peer pressure". Billy Loomis is easily the most suspected, but once he "dies" people believed it was Stu, who would have thought corn syrup???
Scream is my third favorite horror movie (after The Shining and Psycho) so it easily gets a 10. "I'll be right back!!!"
