The movie that changed the face of horror movies for an entire generation. Scream has endured as a classic for so long because it successfully does two things. Firstly, it delivers on the basic level of a teen slasher. The characters are fun to hang out with. The killer is creative and fresh. Secondly, it is a brilliant send up of all the horror movie tropes that had become boring and tired by the time Scream was released. You can go back many times and pick up new references or hints that Craven and Williamson were setting their sights a little higher than normal for these movies. While the franchise as a whole has certainly dipped at points, this is perhaps one of the most consistently strong horror franchise that we have today. With the release of Scream 5 this past year the franchise seems poised to take another new step under two new writers/directors who clearly grew up on these movies, and love them as much as the fans.
