19. Scream

[oh_deanna]

A little subdued today. Just found out one of Mum's old high school friends died on Mum's birthday. Still no news from Dad's best friend who is in hospital. Ugh. And one of Mum's work friends might have lung cancer. I just. I know they say these things come in threes, so I hope that's it for now. Say a little prayer for those three.

#19. Scream (1996)

““You sick fucks. You’ve seen one too many movies!”
“Now Sid, don’t you blame the movies. Movies don’t create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative!”

SYNOPSIS: One year after the death of Sidney Prescott's (Campbell) mother, two students turn up gutted. When a serial killer appears, Sidney begins to suspect whether her mother's death and the two new deaths are related. No one is safe, as the killer begins to pick everyone off one by one. Everyone's a suspect in this case.

WHY IS IT ON THE LIST: This is not just a good movie, but a good series. I love these movies so much, because not only do I find them genuinely scary, but they're also funny. They don't take themselves that seriously, and are able to point out and laugh at all the tropes of horror movies that have come before them. Neve Campbell is brilliant as Sidney; watching this movie, you will find yourself constantly rooting for her. It's awesome to see a capable female hero in a movie that takes care of herself and kills the bad guy and doesn't need a man to help her.

Yes, I have! I loved it too. I thought they did a really good job. Was not expecting it to be decent at all, so it was a present surprise!

I agree with you 100% I truly love this series. Before this series horror movies was played out and well sucked. This made studios start making horror films again which is so awesome since I am a horror fanatic.

I loved scream 4 it was better thanI thought it would be and the twist of the killer was like holy shit moment.

I just think they're really clever and original! And I agree - scream 4 exceeded my expectations. I was not expecting much, but the twist was really well done and I enjoyed it!!
