This may be the most surprising thing you'll read today: I had never watched a Scream movie before tonight! I always thought they were more parody (like Scary Movie) and while it was definitely over-the-top and bordered on horror-comedy, I found it very entertaining.
There were some cleverly done "meta" sequences that were very effective. Obviously, the cast was great (though I was begging for Matthew Lillard's character to be killed from the first scene he appeared).
I guess I'll have to forge ahead with the franchise, with the full expectation they will get exponentially worse with each sequel.
I'm giving this a B. Rented on Amazon Prime.
