“Someone has taken their love of scary movies one step too far. Solving this mystery is going to be murder.”
A masked killer begins stalking a teenage girl and the circle of friends around her, turning ordinary calls and private moments into threats. As the attacks escalate, the mystery tightens around a deadly game built from horror-movie knowledge. The violence keeps growing, and every clue seems to deepen the danger rather than explain it.
Wes Craven directs the film, shaping its mix of menace and dark wit with a sharp sense of timing. Neve Campbell leads as the frightened student at the center of the attacks, while Courteney Cox and David Arquette play figures drawn into the investigation and the panic around it. Their characters move through the story as fear spreads from one encounter to the next, and the cast gives the mystery its tense, uneasy momentum.
Made in the United States and released in 1996, the film runs 112 minutes and stays close to a high school world under pressure. It uses familiar slasher material while keeping a self-aware, anxious tone that makes the danger feel both playful and brutal. The result is a crime-horror mystery with a sharp, foreboding edge.
