      Because it was a comedy horror, but instead of saying jokes it utilized physical humor by having the killer being very animated in his movements.
      Also making the boyfriend extremely suspicious and looking to be the obvious killer but then subverting it by having him and the killer be in the same scene fools the girl and us the audience making for a great plot reveal when there were two killers.

      no that was scary movie

      He'll be back in the next film. Shame about skeet in the most recent film, he looked like shit. Which is weird, because they did a great job with him in the previous film.

      Rewatching the series now and completely disagree. The first scream and to a less extent the first 3 really represent a different time and in some ways feel very 90s in a way few other films can muster. The first is by far the best and the second is a comfy sequel that like most fails to measure up, the third one I haven't rewatch just yet but its basically a self referential semi parody that sort of ties the whole series together somewhat making the trilogy feel complete.

        Mid 90's to 00's films are shot and lit in a VERY specific manner that makes them visually unique. Blade and Scream are two good examples. I have never seen an explanation as to why but it must be technological improvements - they have a lot of shadow and high contrast.

    Great concept.
    Easily the best killers in the entire franchise.
    Solid and memorable cast.

    The thing that Wes Craven is really good at, when comparing his films to other classic horror franchises, is creating really memorable and likable protagonists/supporting casts. Scream is a very rare exception, in horror icon level films, where the survivor cast is actually a lot more memorable and prolific than the killer/s they are stalked by. Elm Street 1 and 3 were also fantastic at this.

      This, it's one of the very rare slasher where the characters does not feel like simple dead meat waiting on how they're going to get killed.

    Unlike most of the sequels, Scream was committed to satirizing horror. They simply had lightning in a bottle. The reveal of 2 killers was an original idea, but the sequels treated the idea as a lazy plot device after. Essentially, the sequels took everything that made the original good and squeezed the ideas beyond dry. Everything that was good about the original, the meta comedy from Kennedy, the crazed rants from Lillard and Ulrich, subverting horror tropes, the creepy phone calls, eventually became insufferable in the sequels. They knew what made the original good, yet never was able to surpass it, instead copying it and burying it to the ground. Plus it has the benefit of being a product of its time. It came out at a time when a killer using telephones and not being traced was plausible. Plus you just have to love how it aged. The video store, home phones, the fashion, it’s kino.

      This. It's a well made movie all around and the satire still works.
      I would say that it's kind of predictable who the killers are because of how they act but I guess the trick is that nobody expected two of them working together.

        One thing the movie gets is that knives are fricking dangerous and the human body provides little resistance to sharp blades.

        Correct. The slasher formula was for ONE killer who then became iconic and starred in sequels.

    if you were actually cognizant when it came out, Scream felt incredibly fresh for 1996. it was like an early 2000s film but obviously much earlier, and for that reason i can only conclude that it had a major influence on not only its copycats, but film in general.

      the 2 killers really give that columbine vibe

      >the 2 killers really give that columbine vibe

      Yes, definitely what I think they were going for. The funny thing is that the Columbine killers were bragging about how they would be so famous and debated which director would want to make a movie about them. Instead, they inspired Scream.

      They're just two losers with power fantasies playing out and that's what makes it really scary is how stupid and grounded that is. You have no idea that some co-worker or classmate is gonna walk in one day in some hoodie calling himself the "Reaper of Death" and shoot up the place because he has some stupid fantasy.

    It made the characters very aware of horror tropes, and had them poke fun at them, but in a way that made the audience feel like they were in on the joke instead of the film pointing at horror films and saying "look how stupid all this is. You only like this stuff ironically right? Nobody could actually enjoy this shit by taking it seriously" like basically every other genre film does these days. A perfect example is having Jamie Kennedy lying on a couch watch Halloween talking to the TV talking to Jamie-lee Curtis saying "Watch out Jamie, he's right behind you" as Ghostface sneaks up behind him. It puts the audience and the character on the same level like you're sharing an old in-joke.

    It's the only one that ever feels like an actual horror movie at times. Scream is more a thriller series than horror.

    Pre/911, 80s - 90s was peak comfy USA. Society was a lot more intelligent, people hadn't been moronic and isolated by social media and pocketable technology, and it was also around 95% white, unlike today where it's around 60% at best.

    Horror films from them seem like daydreams compared to life in the West today. People truly were living in the moment, and its reflected in the performance of actors extrinsic of the role they're playing because that just was life back then for everyone.

      Who people were back then was a microcosm of the sum experience of their life up until that point, since that was all that they had to infer from. People had quirks and acquired tastes. Today everyone is the same flavour of shit that was imprinted onto them via the internet from vicarious experiences of others, from one of a few highly centralised platforms.
