Amazon.com essential video:
With the smash hit Scream, novice screenwriter Kevin Williamson and veteran horror director Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street) revived the moldering corpse of the teen horror picture, both creatively and commercially, by playfully acknowledging the exhausted clichés and then turning them inside out. Scream is a postmodern slasher movie, a horror film that cleverly deconstructs horror films, then reassembles the dead tissue, and (like Frankenstein's monster) creates new life. When a serial killer starts hacking up their fellow teens, the media-savvy youngsters of Scream realize that the smartest way of sticking around for the sequel is to avoid the terminal behaviors that inevitably doom supporting players in the movies. They've seen all the movies, and the rules of the genre are like second nature to them. One of the scariest/funniest setups features a kid watching John Carpenter's seminal Halloween on video. As Jamie Lee Curtis is shadowed by Michael Meyers and the kid on the couch yells at her to turn around, Craven reverses his camera and we see that the kid should be taking his own advice. The fresh-faced young cast (including Drew Barrymore, Neve Campbell, Skeet Ulrich, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette) is fun to watch, and their tart dialogue is sprinkled with enough archly self-conscious pop-culture references to make Quentin Tarantino blush. --Jim Emerson

I recently bought the Scream boxset for a very good price. I watched the first one and I was highly disappointed. The references to other movies got annoying and I hated the cast. I prefer 70's and 80's horror to most of the junk in horror today. It had a few good scenes but wasnt too impressed.
I think Wes Craven is overrated. Ive stated this on anther one of his movies, i've even checked out the Interet movie database to see what he has done. Nightmare on Elm Street is a classic and probably his best work. His other movies were decent but nothing could compare to Nightmare on Elm Street. Scream is decent but I wouldnt call it the greatest horror film of the 90's. Im sure someone will answer this.

This movie is great every millionth time you see it but there is nothing like the first time. The first time is great when you don't know who the killer is and you're guessing all the way through. It's extremely spooky the first time you watch it and thats the whole point. It's your typical teen slasher but it came at a time when a teen slasher wasn't typical. Of course now everybody tries to make stupid teen horror movies but nothing comes close to Scream! Scream 2 and 3 are also good but of course don't even come close to the original! Great Stars and great acting help this movie out too! Neve Campbell is perfect, Rose McGowan does great, David Arquette and Courteney Cox just have great chemistry! Skeet Ulrich is the new Johnny Depp for Wes Craven and Matthew Lliard and whoever plays Randy are just great. You couldn't have picked better people. Oh and Drew Barrymore looking great for her short stint in this movie! If you haven't seen it WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??? You have to check this out!

scream has those quick jumping parts you now when you don't expect it some one pops in other than that its more of a comady than horror but i think the twisting of the plot and humor pull this all into a movie you can sit down and watch i enjoy watching over and over kinda like those movies you have laying around and pop in every now and then.
