How Scream critiqued the horror genre.docx19001069
Wes Craven's Scream (1996) subverted many conventions of the slasher genre that had become stale by the 1990s. It started with the shocking murder of Drew Barrymore's character early in the film. The narrative then jumped straight into chaos rather than establishing order first. Additionally, the film featured two killers with ambiguous motives, mocked the idea that films influence youth violence, and subverted expectations about the "final girl" character. Through these and other techniques, Scream critiqued and breathed new life into the tired slasher genre.
