    Look, by today's standards this isn't an original horror film at all. It's been done before a hundred times. That's because all the horror movies you millennials have been watching for your 2 decades we're a rip off of Scream. Halloween (1978) was the movie every horror movie copied for almost 2 decades. Freddy, Jason, almost all those indestructible horror slashers were rip offs. Scream was the movie that broke that cycle and became the new movie to copy. Unfortunately the studios decided to make a bunch of garbage sequels and ruin what was so great about Scream. It's a slasher movie that makes fun of slasher movies. It called out every dumb cliche I saw in slashers growing up and came up with an original ending. I'm not writing this to convince you it's a good movie. It was released in 96, it was for my generation not yours. You're not going to get it or be able to appreciate if you didn't grow up in the 80s and 90s. However, this is one of the most influential horror films ever, second only to Halloween. It's not perfect, but it will always be great!

    Terrible movie is unbelievably overrated. I had to laugh at the idiot who complained about people who "think the only thing that goes into making a horror movie good is how scary it is"...except that no one here said that. What a maroon! Imbeciles who can't even read properly shouldn't be criticizing anyone else on anything. And if you think that Scream is a good horror movie then you have a lot to learn about the horror genre.

    Finally caught this garbage during a Halloween horror marathon. This was about as scary as It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. What a piece of shit!

    Terrible film plays.into the slanderous stereotypes that have ghettoized the slasher subgenre. Completely spastic.

    A horrible movie. Real horror fans see right through this counterfeit trash. This film is so braindead that someone should have pulled the plug on it long before it went into production.

    The fact that these people think the only thing that goes into making a horror movie good is how scary it is shows that they don't know what the f**k they're talking about.

    At our school we started a "bad movie club" to watch films that are so bad you can hardly believe they were made at all. We've been watching hysterical trash like Manos the Hands of Fate and Indecent Proposal. Movies like that had us howling with laughter. Someone suggested we watch Scream. Yes, it was really really bad, but not enjoyable even in an ironic way. It was so terrible we couldn't even laugh at it. All we could do was scratch our heads and wonder why such a horribly made movie like this enjoys such a good reputation?

    Hahaha! People say this is classic?!? This was complete trash! Incredibly stupid and not scary at all! These frigging millennials must have been afraid of their own shadows in the 90s! This is probably the worst horror film I've ever seen. Writing was the worst. Acting was horrible, particularly by Barrymore who has been terrible her entire career. If you think this movie is scary then you're probably terrified by Sesame Street.
