I always found the horror scenes in
Scream to be quite effective. And yes, the opening scene is terrifying. I'm not sure why I found the film to be smug though as I saw no real evidence of it last night. Maybe I was in a bad mood when I first saw it and thought the dialogue about PG-13 relationships and comparing their lives to horror film characters was overly-cute bullshit (I still don't like those dialogue moments but it doesn't antagonise me anymore).
The Cabin in the Woods brings my piss to a boil. The musings of an utter twat who thinks he's figured out the genre. I just tell people to watch
Tucker and Dale VS Evil as it's a much funnier and cleverer twist on the formula - Tucker and Dale are only thought to be crazy hillbillies by a group of teenagers who think they have the horror genre figured out.
