SCREAM (1996) - Review | Is it a Horror Movie or a Dark Comedy?
01:02:59 Share

Wes Craven's Scream (1996) re-invented the Horror Genre by breaking every horror movie rule before it. Its characters often reference real well-known scary movies and actors, and meanwhile they slowly realize they themselves are in their own slasher movie.   Among the best elements of “Scream” is that it doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s a dark comedy, rife with humor and fantastic irony, garnering just as many laughs as it does screams. Despite all the jumpscares, the violent twist ending and the intense blood and gore on screen, it still manages to be comedic — and that’s what keeps people watching it again and again. It’s a favorite for many because you go in expecting terror, but you’re always pleasantly surprised by the level of wit that Wes Craven weaves into the movie. It brilliantly revitalized the dying horror genre in the 90’s and set a new bar for scary movies to come.  Join us for our movie review of Scream with special guest Stephen from Craven Something Scary & The Movie Bros React.    #Scream #Screamfranchise #thenightwatchzone  Check out and subscribe to Stephen here: CRAVEN Something Scary:  https://youtube.com/channel/UCzutHhqu...
