Scream

Scream (1996) starring Neve Campbell, Skeet Ulrich, Drew Barrymore, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard, Jamie Kennedy, Courtney Cox, David Arquette. Directed by Wes Craven. A killer in a ghost costume pursues high-school kids in a small town -- starting with Casey (Barrymore), a girl who has the misfortune to answer the phone. The movie plays with movie conventions, referencing other films continuously -- especially other horror films. If nothing else, it's entertaining to watch. The plot resolution, however, left me a little disappointed. This movie might reward repeat viewings. Good subtitles, as well as closed captions. Grade: B
