Admit it, Scream is a classic.

Scream is a classic. Hipsters just like to pretend its not and name drop horror movies that not a lot of people have seen because they think it makes them more sophisticated.

that happens with all genres not just horror

best thing about Scream???

It had some disturbing elements to it and was quite scary but it really lost any credibility once Scary Movie took the piss out of all of the teen-slashers in one go.

well, ofcourse because Scream movies are so well made they are very entertaining to watch but I don't know about the level of horror, it's more like a comedy about horror movies so it's not scary enough!

Its a classic, I just didnt really find myself enjoying it.

While it may not be a great movie, I will admit it is an important movie as it rekindled people's interest in the horror genre. Without Scream, the slasher genre would be dead.

I wouldn't go that far😕

I seen alot more black and white movies that are more of a classic then scream is!jm

Scream was'nt new thing new. It was a slasher movie, a big budget slasher movie. Now I didnt like

Scream wasnt anything new. I didn't think much of Scream, I thought it was Wes Cravens worse film. I mean Wes even made fun of himself in "Jay and Silent Bob strike back", in concern to the blatant comercial purpose of the Scream francise. Scream was made for the masses, people who think highly of it probably arent into horror films all that much., because there are plenty of horror fims that blow it out of the water, like TCSM 1 and Halloween 1. Scream DID get the mainstream back into slasher films, but that WASNT a good thing.

Not close to being a classic like NOrman Bates movie!jm

Scream is a classic example of satire. Craven really outdid himself and wrote an original and fresh script that made people afraid to answer the phone and made them laugh, as well.

I do think, however, that Scream is semi-overrated and that Craven let the success go to his head a little.

The sequels were horrible, IMO.

Hi guys, yeah, scream is a classic. It´s the first horror movie (or maybe the second) I ever managed to watch on television without my mom interfering. I admit I am not a specialist on Wes Craven, I haven´t managed to see any of the "hills-have-eyes" movies yet and only read the "house on the left" script, but the reason why SCREAM is a classic is because it´s so rediculous. You figure 50% of the villains out before 50% of the movie is over, the opening scene in part one was stupid. Nothing against Drew Barrymore, but the character she played was so dumb, I couldn´t blame the killers. I haven´t seen part three, after the first two I did not really feel the urge to do so. But, I also would say that Scream is an important part of horror movie history, it´s a classic that everybody - no matter whether it´s dumb or not - should have watched ones in their horror movie life times.
anyway, have a nice day
