Case Study: Scream (1996)
A year after the death of Sidney Prescott’s mother, two students are also killed. When a serial killer then appears, Sidney begins to wonder whether the two deaths are linked. No one is safe in the film, and the death count steadily rises. The film adds suspense because everyone is framed as a suspect.
It was rated an 18 due to the strong graphic horror violence, and for the language used during the film.
It was a US film by Dimension films and Woods Entertainment; it was budgeted at $15,000,000 and made $6,354,586 on it’s opening weekend. The film took from the 15th April 1996 to 14 June 1996 to be filmed.
It features actors like Drew Barrymore, Courteney Cox, and Neve Campbell.
Reviews about the film say that it is an effective horror film due to the plot, and that it is a well made movie, and whilst the slasher movie conventions are very original, the new directors manage to make the scenes unpredictable to the audience. Many reviews also comment on how Scream has revived the horror slasher genre.
