I have also watched
Scream this month (the first time for a couple of years) and was really impressed by how well it is directed, how clever the writing is and even the dated technology, which puts a time stamp on it, doesn't diminish the viewing experience.
I'm probably one of the few people here who actually rates
Cabin in the Woods and
Tucker and Dale vs Evil almost equally, with the former as (like the
Scream films) having something interesting to say about viewership/voyeurism and what the (typical) audience wants from a horror film.
