Title: Do you like scary movies?
Review: A killer stalks a small community, and a high school student (Neve Campbell) who is facing the first anniversary of her mother's murder appears to be marked for death. This is a very well-written, clever slasher film that takes great delight in poking fun at the genre of slasher films. It's full of trivia and self-aware clichés as well as some genuine thrills and a well-planned surprise at the end. The whole cast is very good, but Matthew Lillard as an obnoxious high school boy and David Arquette as a deputy sheriff stand out. Director Wes Craven, who is responsible for some of the slasher films (most notably the first "Nightmare on Elm Street") that inspired Kevin Williamson's inventive screenplay, does the best work of his career here.
