Scream (1996)
Directed by Wes Craven
4.7/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"111 minQuick Hit
Scream feels like a blade-forward slasher—sharp, fun, with atmosphere doing half the killing.
Full Take
Scream leans hard into slasher energy, and Wes Craven keeps the tone sharp without letting the movie drift. The filmmaking is locked in, the atmosphere is doing real work, and the payoff earns the damage. This one sticks.

I’m kind of in the middle on this. There are parts that really work, but also a lot that don’t. It ends up feeling inconsistent depending on what you’re looking for.
I see both sides. Kinda uneven overall.
