...I have always counted Scream more as a Thriller / Slasher movie than a Horror film. Basically I will watch anything where you can kill the Person / Thing with a Double Barrelled Shotgun!
OK, about the film:
The film starts with Drew Barrymore (she has always been a favourite of mine) as a teen at home who receives a strange phone call. It turns out that he plans to kill her and her boyfriend which he promptly does.
Now the teens in this town are ... ...do a Horror Trilogy and Scream is the first (and best) of the three Horror TeenFlicks that he created.
