Synopsis: A teenage girl, Sidney Prescott (Campbell), becomes the target of a killer who has stalked and killed one of her classmates. A tabloid news reporter, Gale Weathers (Cox), is determined to uncover the truth, insisting that the man who killed Sidney’s mother one year earlier is the same man who is terrorizing her now. Sidney’s boyfriend, Billy Loomis (Ulrich), becomes the prime suspect.

Scream factor: 2

My Angle: This movie wasn’t very scary. Due to the age of the movie, the special effects were not so good, the acting wasn’t too great and the plot was barely scary. I laughed more than I screamed.

I jumped out of my seat when: I found out who the killer was. It was so surprising!
