Scream (1996)

It's a little cheesy yes, sometimes. The kids all look like adults. The story's cliché - but it plays with cliché too, and the ending is still one of most memorable ones in scary movie history. Not to forget the garage door scene! Props Rose McGowan, who looks a bit like Lindsay Lohan. And Billy like that guy from... who does he remind me of? Not sure.

Coincidentally ran into a podcast with Neve Campbell just after I'd watched this, and she spoke a bit about this movie on it: It took a look at the genre itself. It was self-referential. It was fresh and new and had humor as well. Neve Campbell, on Literally with Rob Lowe.

The sights were better than I remembered too. The sunrises.... it had some moments. Maybe it's the only scary movie parody that managed to be more than a parody, and actually received an actual parody based upon it too... maybe? (Scary Movie.)

Either way it still is great. Classic. Iconic. Praise. Straight A's.
