Q: when i first heard about scream in 1996 , i was told that it was a spoof of horror movies .
from the master of the horror himself , wes craven , it ridiculed the cliches of the genre by overemphasizing them , by making the teenagers do what they know they 're not supposed to do when a serial killer is stalking them ( do n't run up the stairs when you can easily go out the front door , never say " i 'll be right back , " etc . ) .
when i first heard this description , i figured that it was an easy way out of making a bad movie .
how hard is it to make an extremely terrible film but claim it is actually a mockery of other bad movies .
was this wes craven 's remedy from making " real " bad movies such as vampires in brooklyn ?
it just seemed cheap to me .
then i actually saw the movie and the first twenty minutes , involving drew barrymore and a nail - bitingly intense phone conversation , completely changed my attitude .
scream is not only a clever parody of your standard horror flick , it 's also a pretty scary movie .
if you 've seen a million of these kinds of films , you know exactly what is going to happen .
this is part of the fun of watching scream .
the movie reminds avid horror fans how similar and repetitive the genre is and it also reminds them how great a guilty pleasure it can be to watch pointless and predictable violence to innocent , attractive teenagers . to those who rarely see these types of movies , scream is a thrilling unpredictable ride that could be mistaken as a serious slasher film .
there 's nothing wrong with that misjudgment though .
i have witnessed viewers from both sides of the audience , the newbies to horror and the fanatics .
their opinions on the film were so different but
both very positive .
from these varied reviews , i am convinced that scream has not only revived the teen horror movie and the normal teen romance movies but also the hilarious parodies of these and other categories .
films that both deride and celebrate genres like galaxy quest and the big hit would not have existed , in my opinion , if it was not for the outstanding success of scream .
the low - budget 1996 gem may , alongside pulp fiction , be the most influential film of the 1990 's .
this influence may exist to the chagrin of some moviegoers who despise movies like teaching mrs .
tingle or television programs such as dawson 's creek but to others such as myself , we congratulate the movie that has opened new doors for excellent young actors , screenwriters , and directors .
scream is also an extremely funny movie thanks to its quickly - paced script by kevin williamson .
within the film are characters who tell other characters , as well as the audience , the basic rules and cliches of a horror movie .
mainly from the rants of randy ( jamie kennedy ) and stu ( matthew lillard ) , we are reminded not only of the obvious and hilarious rules but also some of the more subtle stereotypes that when thought over are mostly true as well ( the virgin always survives ; have sex and you 're dead meat ) .
not only are we treated these rules on a plate but also the rules are referenced to a number of different films and actors .
the script feels like an obsessive essay from a college film geek who has nothing better to do but find every little blunder from every little film for his own self - satisfaction .
in this case , williamson finds these errors for the audience 's satisfaction and amusement .
i hear there is a new movie coming out called scary movie which is a spoof of scream , which is a spoof of scary movies .
i will certainly see the film
but i have the feeling that this parody will be more obviously ridiculing the genre rather than scream 's perfect subtlety .
however my last gut feeling about this stuff , scream , was dead wrong .
.
. so who knows .
