Horror movies didn’t really hit their stride until the late 1990s, and films like Scream perfectly captured what people were feeling at the time. Scream was a clever mix of a traditional slasher film and a thoughtful look at the horror genre itself, and how its fans engage with it. Director Wes Craven, already a master of horror, used the film to reflect on the genre he’d helped define. While sequels were made, the first Scream remains a standout classic.
