the first scream movie is underrated as hell

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Damn I didn't realize I was so

Fred.

Fixed.

 

[Spaceman Piff]

yeah.. scream was the shyt.

neve campbell

there's no way it was underrated when it came out. that movie was mad popular

it definitely sparked that teen horror genre..

i know what you did last summer.. final destination.. faculty.. disturbing behavior..

those types of flicks

i thought scream did everything cabin in the woods wanted to do.. but instead of making fun of it, scream embraced it and made a dope movie.

I saw this movie once on VHS.

At the end it shows through flashbacks how the killer was evidently the killer right? Is it actually possible to figure out the killer through clues in the movie?

No it doesn't.

And there are two killers actually.

They tell the girl their "master plan", but there is no flashback.

Is it actually possible to figure out the killer through clues in the movie?

There are really only a couple of hints. At one point in the film, one of the side-characters asks one of the killers "Hey, didn't you used to date Drew Barrymore?" after she is killed, but it's brushed aside nonchalantly. Still, on a rewatch, it's noticable that they had history.

There is also another scene where all of the students (Killers included) are sitting around talking, someone jokes that one of the characters is the killer (And he is) and the dude is like "Naw, I didn't kill anyone" and immediately the OTHER killer cuts his eye at him and says "Nobody said you did". That's actually one of my favorite parts in the movie. Dude hit him with a fierce "nicca if you don't shut the fukk up" look....

Lastly, the biggest clue is when Neve Cambell is being chased by one of the killers, she runs outside and runs into the other killer (Who wasn't in the gear). She thinks it's sketchy, but from an audience standpoint it feels more like a false flag...at that point in the movie you didn't know that there were two of them working together so when he later says "the cops said I scared him off" you kinda believe him.

For the most part, one of the killers (Billy) is kinda obvious. Stu was more surprising.

In case you haven't noticed, I was kinda a Scream fanatic growing up.

Scream is one of the most successful reconstructions ever....it's up there with Die Hard....executed so perfectly that it was actually able to change the genre and spawn copycats. Like @poktanju said, I Know What You Did, Urban Legend, Final Destination, etc...these all owe allegiance to Scream.

Cabin is a fun flick no doubt, premise is interesting and I liked the idea of different parts of the world having to deal with monsters of their own lore....but it didn't really seem that topical for me. If it's homage than it's fine. But if it's suppose to be some sort of comment on modern horror genre conventions...I feel like it came well too late.

I remember watching this with my boys in the 8th grade
the 1st movie of its kind where suspense was a major factor
That chick playing Nevs bff that got it had me like with those tittey meats and hard nipples
Did Neve Cambell ever show her titteys in a movie

The original is a Legit classic, but the rest of the series is so trash that Scream gets lost and kind of slept on.

4 was pretty good

 

[The Jewnited States]

i think ppl write this movie off because of scary movie

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

I remember reading that Wes craven purposely castes that one guy who looked like johnny depp in scream as a homage to johnny in nightmare on elms street

4 was pretty good

that may have been the worse one to me, they had a chance to save it but ruined it with a lame predictable ending. should've let the Emma Roberts character win. and not killing off one of the main characters from the first movie was weak too. Just a waste

 

[Reggie]

If it isn't a classic horror/scary movie then it is damn close. I know that it had peeps talking for a while in my school when it first dropped.
