cheesy slasher and into cult horror. Her reactions to the horror around her are played realistic and tense and her fifteen minute fight sequence at the end is awesome. It’s just a shame she didn’t make it past the first ten minutes of the first sequel.
Olivia Hussey is great as Jess, the tormented Sorority girl, whose sisters keep disappearing over the Christmas season. Olivia deserves props for this being the first real slasher movie, coming from Canadian film maker, Bob Clark. The story is fantastic and was first to use many of the horror clichés we see today, but it is Olivia’s performance which is kept very much realistic throughout which sells the movie to the audience as a very believable thing that could happen.
Sydney Prescott is one of my favourite horror movie characters, possessing everything a good horror heroine should, strong in the face of danger, tragic but unyielding and can really scream. She has an impressive intellectual outlook on where the character should be throughout the movie and grabs you as someone you might know or relate to. The first Wes Craven movie is by far the best, with Neve only being out shadowed by Drew Barrymore’s opening performance. She carries the rest of Kevin Williamson’s script fantastically
