Scream (1996)
Scream (1996) isn’t just a horror movie; it’s a cultural reset. The film opened the floodgates for smart slasher flicks, flipping the script on horror tropes like a pro gymnast. Remember that epic opening with Drew Barrymore? It’s like a masterclass in cinematic tension—who doesn't want to shout, 'Do NOT answer that phone!' while simultaneously laughing at how naive everyone is? You either love Scream for its self-aware brilliance or you’re the weirdo who thinks 'ghostface' is just a Halloween costume. Choose your side, because this debate isn’t dying anytime soon.
