TRACY'S REVIEW:

I was never a fan of scary moves, until one May day back in 1997 I went to the multiplex to check out this. I was blown away by this - a scary movie that isn't dumb.

Kevin Williamson's clever script breathed life into a dead genre. With his first stab at horror Williamson struck gold - and with Wes Craven as director nothing could go wrong. (all those puns intended!)

The acting is amazing by all, not something you see in a scary movie usually. Neve Campbell is excellent as the classic girl next door Sidney Prescott.

The opening scene with Drew Barrymore as the hunted Casey Becker is amazing - the movie is worth watching for those twenty minutes or so alone.

It's smart and funny and keeps you guessing right up till all is revealed.

Memorable quotes:

Phone voice: What's your favourite scary movie?

Gale: Jesus, get the camera.
Kenny: My name's not Jesus.

Casey: Who's there?
Phone voice: Never say "who's there?", don't you watch scary movies? It's a death wish, you might as well come out to investigate a strange noise or something.

Gale: If I'm right about this, I could save a man's life. Do you know what that could do for my book sales?!

Randy: If you were the only suspect in a senseless blood bath, would you be standing in the horror section?

Tatum: No, please don't kill me Mr ghostface, I wanna be in the sequel!

Stu: Did you really call the cops?
Sidney: You bet your sorry ass I did!
Stu: My Mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me.

Randy: It's the millennium, motives are incidental.

Randy: I never thought I'd be so happy to be a virgin.

Casey: Look! I am two seconds away from calling the police!
Phone voice: They'd never make it in time.

Randy: Careful, this is the part where the supposedly dead killer comes back to life for one last scare.

Sidney: Not in my movie.

Gale: Kenny, I know that you're about 50 pounds over weight, but when I say "hurry" please interperate that as "move your fat, tub of lard ass, NOW!!"
