| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Scream |
|---|
It's been a year since Sydney Prescott's mother was murdered. She's trying her best to move on, with a blossoming romance on the way and lots of friends to help her out. But when these friends start getting killed one by one, in gruesome, horrific ways, it gets more difficult for her to move on. Especially when it seems that this is all tied in with her mother's murder and the love of her life. It's a race against time to find out who the murderer is and to stop him before he kills again!

High School students and Administrators are starting to drop dead being gutted and stabbed. Usually quiet except for rape and murder of Maurine Prescott (Main Character's Mother). The police are clueless and everybody is a suspect.
