Крик (англ. Scream) Американский слэшер 1996 года режиссёра Уэса Крэйвена по сценарию Кевина Уильямсона

Scream is a 1996 American slasher film directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson. It stars David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Rose McGowan, Skeet Ulrich, and Drew Barrymore. Set in the small American town of Woodsboro, Scream’s plot follows high school student Sidney Prescott (Campbell) and her friends who become the target of a costumed serial killer known as Ghostface on the anniversary of her mother’s murder. Following the success of Scream, development of a sequel began while the original was still in theaters. Scream 2 1997 achieved similar financial and critical success as Scream. Williamson was unavailable to write Scream 3 2000, the trilogy’s concluding chapter, and was replaced with Ehren Kruger. The film fared less well than its predecessors, commercially and critically, and is regarded as the franchises most divisive entry. Williamson returned to the series with the reboot film Scream 4 Scream 4 has grown in esteem since its release, its modest box office and critical reception, as well as Craven’s death, placed the franchise on hold. A television adaptation, Scream 2015–2019, ran for three series. The Weinstein’s refused to license the Fun World costume for the show or allow references to the films which was controversial with fans and contributed to the series’ low ratings, poor reception, and eventual cancellation. The film series was relaunched with Scream 2022, and its success led to immediate development of a sixth installment, Scream VI 2023. Both films are directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. These films focus on a younger cast, including Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, with Campbell, Cox, and Arquette appearing in supporting legacy roles. Scream VI is the first film in the series to not feature Arquette or Campbell (she declined to return following a dispute over pay)
