This movie boasted that it was the German answer to Scream/IKWYDLS/Scary Movie?{okay}/ and other teen slashers. It managed to make them look good. This was slow and pointless, the reasons behind the killings, much like Camp Blood, make little sense. The Killers even go too far in setting up abilis...I would say watch it to find out but don't.Granted its not the worst I have seen by far, it might even have been good if it just picked up the pace a little. I enjoy mystery slowness but this was moloassas slow. You quit caring after awhile you just wanted it to hurry up and get on with it...

The bottom line of this movie is that it's a horror movie, not a great one, not a terrible one.I watch these kinds of movies with my family and friends, so that balances my opinion a little bit. A lot of the scary parts scared me, but not all of them. The people I watched it with were scared by all the parts, however.The acting was average and the story was average, but without the plot twists it would have been predictable. Because of the plot twists, it was worth it to rent and watch this movie -- I also gave this movie 7 stars because of it.Of course, that doesn't mean it was worth buying it -- it apparently was made for TV (in Germany, though, which is different from here in the U.S.) and I think that affects the quality of the movie so it's really only worth one good watching.

Obviously, this flick was not made for gore-hounds. Admittedly you don't get to see the murder victims' innards, so avoid it if that is your cup of tea. What you get to see in plentiful are fascinating and nightmarish images that should be envied by the majority of contemporary genre film makers. These images emanate an underlying violence that is much more frightening than gut-spilling excesses. Recommended.

There is not much to say about this extremely boring, badly acted and ridiculously dull German slasher. It's a blatant rip-off of the similarly stupid films "I Know What You Did Last summer" and "Urban Legend", only that "Schrei..." manages to make the two American movies look almost acceptable (but almost only!). The German TV-version - which is two minutes cut compared to the US-video release entitled "School's Out" - even lacks the necessary drops of blood! Don't bother yourself with watching this mess; it's not worth the time. 1 out of 10.
