Netflix will soon be removing a cult favourite film from its extensive movie library, despite fans calling it a “perfect” watch.
The story centres around the town of Woodsboro which is plagued by a mysterious masked serial killer known as Ghostface. Its glittering cast features Hollywood heavyweights such as Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Skeet Ulrich, Drew Barrymore and Matthew Lillard.
While it is a slasher film at heart, it satirises common horror tropes and combines humour with a compelling murder mystery. Fans awarded it an impressive 80 per cent Rotten Tomatoes rating, while critics offered a slightly more modest 78 per cent.

One bowled over fan commented: “Scream 1 is the perfect horror film. Written by the Scream king himself Kevin Williamson and directed by the great Wes Craven. The cast for this film was absolutely fantastic.”
A second added: “All around an amazing classic movie, with a great plot, great actors and a great twist. But don’t think the movie becomes boring to watch again after knowing the twists. It is very entertaining to watch nonetheless.”
One viewer described it as “one of the greatest horror movies ever made,” while another called it “Wes Craven’s masterpiece.” Meanwhile many agreed it was the “best Scream movie” of the lot.

The latest addition to the Scream franchise, Scream 7, was released just this year. It became the franchise’s highest-grossing film to date, breaking the record previously held by Wes Craven’s first film.
The latest instalment – directed by Kevin Williamson – sees the return of Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott who must protect her daughter from a new killer. Despite its box office success, the release left audiences and critics greatly divided.
Fans awarded it a Rotten Tomatoes score of 76 per cent compared to a critics’ average of just 31 per cent. One critic, writing for the Daily Telegraph demanded a “hiatus of 100 years before Scream 8”, while revered film reviewer Mark Kermode penned: “None of it’s fun. None of it’s gleeful.”
