Wes Craven, a horror veteran, directed the film with so much care and sincerity audiences felt it in every frame. Scream holds the crown of the sharpest and strongest horror franchise thanks to its consistent writing, strong characters, and well-crafted successes.Thanks to writer Kevin Williamson, who penned the first two and fourth films in the series, each Scream movie felt fresh because it changed what aspect of the horror genre it discussed.
