The opening ten minuets of this film sum up a new age of slasher film in a brutal and chilling way. Scream isn't Halloween or Friday the 13th but something new and refreshing to the horror/slasher genre. The opening scene consists of the standard horror movie set up but before you feel comfortable enough to condemn the film from the start the brilliance of this movie comes into play. The Voice - Roger Jackson.
The voice is so significant, so unique that it attracts you in a way in which you feel that your being spoken to directly. Another underlining aspect of this film isn't the killer but what the killer is wearing. The Ghostface costume/mask is so significant that when seen it is instantly recognisable. The eeriness of the costume adds to the effect of the film because it allows the audience to try and play a guessing game of who it can be. A guessing game which goes on till the final few scenes.
A chilling film which ensures that horror movies will never be the same again.
It's a scream, baby.
