The Scream film made in 1996 is one of the most well known horrors ever with millions of people all over the world watching it every day. Its so popular that Netflix have released a TV series based around the original film. From the opening scene and the opening two minutes it is very clear that this film is a horror. Straight away when the film name comes up there is a high pitch creaming in the bank round and voices which straight shows the film is trying to put fear into the audience. The high pitch screaming is a general stereotype that you will find within horror films and it is very effective as it gets the tension built up straight from the start as it makes the audience wonder who is screaming and why they are, it gets the audience asking questions. The opening 2 minutes has a lot of edge of your seat scenes, for example the scenes where the main character does not know where the physcopath is makes the audience nervy as they do not know what is going to happen next but they do know that the villain is closer than expected. The main characters boyfriend is brutally killed this shows that it is a horror film unlike a action film when someone is shot and they die that is the normal cause of death in an action film in a horror film the causes of death are normally much more gory maybe someone's head being chopped of for example that is a general cause of death in horror films. The killer also wears a mask which is the same with a lot of horror films, this is because they want to stay Unknown.
