The original Scream was revolutionary to the horror genre as a whole, Wes Craven was able to bring life and personality to a genre which was getting stale with most films blending together. Scream perfectly blends horror and mystery with masterful writing and genuinely funny comedy from nearly all characters. This movie uses old horror tropes and stereotypes and makes them interesting again with its delightful use of references and commentary. Everything in the movie builds up to the masterful third act where the killer is revealed with an amazing twist. Scream is never boring in any scene and will always be my go to movie if Im having a bad day.
