this film is a parody, not a horror movie. Just because the Wayans were too stupid to get that doesn't mean that we have to be.

'''''Scream''''' is a [[1996]] [[parody]] of the [[horror film|horror]]/[[dark comedy]] film genre, directed by [[Wes Craven]] and written by [[Kevin Williamson]]. The film revitalized the [[slasher film]] genre in the mid [[1990s]] by using a standard concept (teens being brutally killed off being one example) with a [[tongue-in-cheek]] approach that successfully combined straightforward scares with dialogue that satirized slasher film conventions, (for example, the [[final girl]]).
 
The film was a major hit upon its release, and was one of the highest grossing films of [[1996]]. It was also highly acclaimed by many critics worldwide. As a result it spawned two sequels, ''[[Scream 2]]'' and ''[[Scream 3]]''.
