Scream

Scream (1996) is Wes Craven's horror-mystery you can watch online on iFILM. Written by Kevin Williamson and produced by Dimension Films on a $14 million budget, the film stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Drew Barrymore, and Matthew Lillard — and earned over $173 million at the worldwide box office.

Sidney Prescott is a teenager in the small town of Woodsboro, still carrying the weight of her mother's murder a year earlier. Then a masked caller starts phoning his victims just before he strikes — and whoever's behind the Ghostface mask knows every rule of the slasher genre. Deputy Dewey investigates from the inside, TV reporter Gale Weathers pushes for the scoop, film nerd Randy lectures anyone who'll listen on how to survive a horror movie. Everybody is a suspect. Nobody is safe.

Craven and Williamson built a film that plays the genre completely straight and mocks it at the same time — a trick that reset the template for the smart slasher. The franchise grew to six films and a TV series; the white mask and black robe became the most recognized image in modern horror. Stream Scream (1996) online on iFILM.
