Scream

Wes Craven’s Scream revitalized the slasher genre in the 1990s, blending horror with self-aware humor. The film follows a group of high school students who are stalked by a masked killer, using the conventions of slasher films while also deconstructing them. Scream is known for its sharp writing, memorable characters, and its subversion of horror tropes, making it both a parody and a tribute to the genre. The film's success spawned several sequels and solidified its place as a cult classic in the horror genre. Scream is often credited with reinvigorating interest in slasher films and inspiring a new wave of horror cinema in the late 20th century.
