when a movie saves an entire genre

Slasher movies were in a rough spot by the time the mid 90s rolled around. But Wes Craven's Scream was the movie that successfully revitalized the genre, with its well-done self-aware approach to a horror movie. In this video I talk about how Scream's self-awareness, realistic characters, and subversion of expectations allow it to be the movie that saved slasher movies. I hope you enjoy this video, and let me know what you think about Scream in the comments! #scream
