in not letting the legacy characters take over the movie. Yes, Sheriff Dewey plays the Han Solo-in-role while Campbell and Cox put in their time. The spotlight mostly remains on the newbies.

Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson’s original leggy Christmas blockbuster still holds up. The infamous prologue, featuring teen boys emotionally torturing and eventually murdering an attractive teen girl just for the hell of it, is as brutal and subtext-made-text incisive now as it was 25 years ago, while remaining, as a horror set piece, the best thing Wes Craven has ever directed.

And the firstis plays fresh enough that viewers weren’t going to constantly try to deduce who the killer might be, since there was no guarantee that it was a closed-room mystery.
The shocking mid-film demise of the audience surrogate character still stands as the series’ boldest move, with the brief argument between Sidney and Dewey over who must call Randy’s mother standing as the most heartbreaking moment in the franchise.
