"Poised on the knife edge between parody and homage, Wes Craven's Scream is a deft, funny, shrewdly unsettling tribute to such slasher-exploitation thrillers as Terror Train, New Year's Evil, and Craven's own A Nightmare on Elm Street." - Entertainment Weekly
"A bravura, provocative sendup of horror pictures that's also scary and gruesome yet too swift-moving to lapse into morbidity." - LA Times
"Scream is a rarity: a horror movie spoof that succeeds almost as well at provoking scares as laughs." - Reelviews
