I'm doing a lot of deep breathing lately, and I know I’m not alone.

No, she's not a seasoned activist or recognizable political figure; she's an everyday citizen like me.

Wes Craven re-invented and revitalized the slasher-horror genre with this modern horror classic, which manages to be funny, clever and scary, as a fright-masked knife maniac stalks high-school students in middle-class suburbia. Craven is happy to provide both tension and self-parody as the body count mounts - but the victims aren't always the ones you'd expect.Edited by Jessica Hickson and Sean from Movie Dumpster
