The residents of a picturesque small town are being victimised by a psychopath with a twisted love for scary movies. High school student Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) believes there is a connection between these killings and the murder of her mother one year ago. As the masked predator continues to mimic horror movies with real life acts of terror, it becomes clear that solving this mystery is going to be murder!
SCREAM was a huge box office and critical success when it was originally released. It is not only the definitive slasher film of the ‘90s, it’s also the definitive horror movie of the decade. There are sequels, knock offs and a TV series, but the original still retains its playful power.
