The whole point of Scream was to be a self referential, post modern take on the conventional slasher genre without going as far as out right parody (ala Scary Movie), which it greatly succeeded in. It’s just a shame this goes straight over audience’s heads, even after numerous viewings in some cases.

Scream is a landmark film in the history of the horror genre and single-handedly revived the slasher sub-genre.
