As I write this there are currently 6 Scream files out there, with a 7th planned. That's not even taking into account the number of films that tried to imitate, or even parody, this film. I recently over the course of a few weeks watched all 6 Scream films. While it's fair to say that the quality of the films ebbed and flowed I think it's also fair to say that they were made based on the strength of this film.
It's worth remembering that when this film was released the horror film genre was stale and pretty stagnant. Scream not only parodied the genre as a whole, it also revitalised it and brought some much need ingenuity. As well as the historical importance of this film it still holds up today, especially for those who are new to the genre.
I don't have much more to say about Scream. If you've seen the film before you know why it's worth watching. If you haven't seen it before it's worth going in knowing as little as possible and just enjoy the ride.
I highly recommend Scream to any horror fans, especially fans of slasher flicks. Personally I am no horror fan, but I am definitely a Scream fan. It's that good.
