A quiet California town is shaken by a string of brutal murders when a masked killer begins stalking teenager Sidney Prescott and her friends. But these aren’t ordinary horror-movie victims—they’ve seen the movies, they know the clichés, and they know the rules for surviving a slasher film. Unfortunately, knowing the rules doesn’t mean you’ll survive them. Directed by horror master Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, Scream turns the conventions of the slasher film inside out, combining a whodunit, razor-sharp comedy, and genuine scares into the movie that helped reinvent American horror for the 1990s. The cast includes Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillard, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, and Drew Barrymore.
