Rating:8/10
Even though many people are claiming this to be a masterpiece, it does a good job of satirizing horror movies while being very intense itself.  The only problem is that it does it way to much and at the end it gets kind of old.  Wes Craven did an amazing job directing this film because he knew the material he was working with and knew what to do with it.  The cast was also phenomonal, especially David Arquette(even thought I am not a fan).  Arquette would almost steal every scene he was in with a comical approach.  I'm not saying no one else was funny, but his character was the best and made me laugh out loud several times.  The intensity was built up from right in the begining, with Drew Barrymore, right up until the end, when you find out who the killers really are.  And what a suprise.  Nothing supernatural here.  Real people, which almost makes this scarier.  Some of the things that helped build up the suspense was when the killer would have someone trap and they would fight him or runaway, you would almost think they would have a chance because of the beating the killer took and many times, the victims almost got away.  With plenty of horror, twists, humor and suspense, Scream is one of the better horror movies out there today.
