The sleepy little town of Woodsboro just woke up screaming. There's a killer in their midst who's seen a few too many scary movies. Suddenly, nobody is safe, as the psychopath stalks victims, taunts them with trivia questions, then rips them to bloody shreds. It could be anybody... Sidney, the quiet high school beauty with an ugly past... Billy, her faithful boyfriend with a frustrated sex life... Tatum, her cute best friend with a answer for everything... Casey, the lovely blonde who knows her thrillers... Geeky Randy, the scary movie fanatic... Stuart, the wild partier... Gale, the overeager TV reporter... even Dewey, the syrupy-sweet police officer. The only hope is to stay one step ahead of this crazed slasher--know your trivia. The clues are there; are you good enought to see them?

Wes Craven's “Scream” violates one of the oldest rules in moviehistory: It's about characters who go to the movies. They've even heard ofmovie stars. They refer by name to Tom Cruise, Richard Gere, Jamie Lee Curtis.They analyze motivations (“Did Norman Bates have a motive? Did Hannibal Lecterhave a reason for wanting to eat people?”) True, they went to the movies in “TheLast Picture Show” and the heroes of “Clerks” worked in a video store. EvenBonnie and Clyde went to the movies. But those movies were about the *act* ofgoing to the movies. “Scream” is about *knowledge* of the movies: Thecharacters in “Scream” are in a horror film, and because they've seen so manyhorror films, they know what to do, and what not to do. “Don't say 'I'll beright back,' “one kid advises a friend, “because whenever anybody says that,he's *never* right back.” In a way, this movie was inevitable. A lot of modernfilm criticism involves “deconstruction” of movie plots. “Deconstruction” is anacademic word. It means saying what everybody knows about the movies in wordsnobody can understand. “Scream” is self-deconstructing; it's like one of thosecans that heats its own soup.
