i knew you were gonna jump all over this one :)
i never thought of Scream(the 1st one at least) as a self satisfying smug smirking pic ..
i thought it was more of a treat for horror fans .. sort of Night of The Creeps long before it - that named all the characters after famous genre personalities.
I think it's only real failing - (and not really it's fault unless you want to consider the sequesl) was that is started a whole new wave of 80's style slasher pics which i think are the most uninteresting horror films ever made.
let me be specific : american 80's horror films.
i dont want the black glove killer fans on my ass :D
