Critics Sentiment
Casey Becker receives threatening phone call from Ghostface
Principal Himbry killed and classes suspended at school
The film dips during the middle school suspension sequence but surges dramatically for the final confrontation, rising from 6.8 to 9.1.
Scream opens with a universally acclaimed sequence that sets an incredibly high bar, then settles into solid territory with effective character development and meta-commentary. The film experiences a slight lull in its middle act but builds momentum through the party sequence and climaxes with a finale that rivals the opening's brilliance.
