About

You’ll likely enjoy Scream if you want scary fun with plenty of suspense and self-aware humor, plus a mystery built around horror movie tropes; Not for you if you want nonstop gore or a straightforward, trope-free slasher like Black Christmas or The Faculty.

Pros: suspense over gore; clever horror cliches; fun meta thrills | Cons: limited memorable kills; a bit bloated; slash violence tame
