Scream, 1996.


Scream is a well-known horror movie, that uses tension and suspense extensively. The movie documents Sidney Prescott's attempts to aviod being killed, as well as her personal journey of realising the truth behind her mother's murder in the year prior to the one the movie is set in.
The director, Wes Craven, has made a name for himself from his masterful use of tension. Craven also makes several references to other horror movies in the film, which not only help progress the plot, but also make the project feel less detached like other horror films.
In my opinion, the best part of the movie is either the beginning, in which Drew Barrymore stars, or the climax. The opening scenes set the tone for the movie, and introduce us to the antagonist. We meet the protagonist later, when the antagonist is already in the middle of his killing habits. I also like the ending, as there is a fast pace carried throughout, and the plot is unravelled.
