Scream - 1996

 I quite liked the beginning the first time I saw it, it was a nice switch and it was a little scary for a while, but the thrill didn’t last long.

The rest of the movie isn’t really scary at all, honestly, and it won’t be in the next movies either. I mean, things like seeing the mask reflected in a market while they’re shopping, or whatever things like this, they’re such silly things, not really scary at all. 

I liked the scene of the principal’s murder, because he was scaring himself, it was funny, and then he gets murdered, not funny, and it was a cool scene.

Details:

The girl is home alone when there’s a phone call, and twice she thinks that the guy called the wrong number, but he calls again while she’s making popcorn and about to watch a scary movie… then he asks her name because “I wanna know who I’m looking at”. She gets reasonably worried.

Twice she hangs up and he calls her again, and now he becomes threatening and she locks the house (really though,why wasn’t it locked before, especially knowing she’s home alone all night? It’s not like it’s so hard to do, it’s just a click, after all…)

She mentions her boyfriend, he shows her Steve is tied up in her garden. She answers trivia about scary movies, one wrong answer and Steve is dead. “What door am I at?” Is the third and last question… she runs, is caught and stabbed. Casey is dead and left hanging outside for her mom to find her. 

She was 17, Steve was 18.

Sidney’s been with her boyfriend Billy for two years, but they never had sex. Since her dad’s away, she goes to stay at Tatum’s. Sid gets a call and then is attacked but escapes, then Billy appears. He has a cell and Linus found a mask, so she runs away from him and he’s arrested.

A year ago her mom was raped and killed. Since it was proven that a certain Cotton had sex with her mother, sid accused him of it all, but Gale is sure she got the wrong man arrested.

There are many kids ‘joking’ by wearing a Ghostface costume…

Next one killed is the principal, the town closes early for curfew.

Linus/Dewey kisses Gale. 

The kids have a party at Stu Baker’s house. Tatum is killed and nobody notices. 

Sid and Billy have sex and then Ghostface stabs Billy. 

The police thinks it might be Sid’s mother. Cameraman Kenny is stabbed next while he tries to kill Sid, Linus is stabbed too. 

Billy is alive and Sid gives him her gun - not sure where she got it.

Billy shoots Randy then Sid sees that Billy and Stu are doing it together, Billy even framed Cotton.

Stu doesn’t really have a motive, butfor Billy, we’ree told that he found out that Sid’s mother had an affair with his father,and that’s why his mother left. 

Sid’s father is there, prisoner, all tied up. They want to frame him.

Gale appears to take the gun from him, but it’s got the safety on - they thought she had died… really?when? Why?

Gale and Linus are on the ground, Sid’s hiding, then she attacks Billy with an umbrella and Stu with a tv on his face. Billy is still alive, Gale shoots him. 

Randy, Sid’s dad and Linus are all alive.
