Scream at Revival House Perth
Experience Wes Craven's brilliant 1996 horror masterpiece that deconstructed and revitalized the slasher genre with razor-sharp wit and genuine terror. When teenage Casey Becker receives a mysterious phone call that turns deadly, the quiet town of Woodsboro becomes a hunting ground for a masked killer who knows all the rules of horror movies - and how to break them.
Neve Campbell delivers a star-making performance as Sidney Prescott, the final girl who must confront both a masked murderer and her own traumatic past. David Arquette and Courteney Cox provide perfect support as the bumbling Deputy Dewey and ambitious reporter Gale Weathers, while Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillard, and Rose McGowan round out the ensemble of potential victims and suspects.
Craven's masterful direction creates a film that's simultaneously a loving tribute to horror cinema and a savage deconstruction of its conventions. Kevin Williamson's clever screenplay fills every scene with references to horror classics while delivering genuine scares and unexpected twists that keep audiences guessing until the final reveal.
The film's meta-commentary on horror tropes - delivered through Randy's legendary "rules" speech - creates a new kind of self-aware terror where characters know they're in a horror movie but can't escape its deadly logic. The iconic Ghostface mask and voice became instant horror icons.
Presented on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
