It's definitelay a case of a really good film that's had its credibility knocked by a raft of dodgy sequels and copycats. The thing I think most of these cash-ins miss is that Scream wasn't just clever, it was pretty scary too. One thing that could never be levelled at a film like, ahem, Scary Movie.
