The statement regarding the movie "scream" is:

True.

Explanation:

The traditional slasher genre made in the 80s was fed up with the criticism of the moment, which only saw franchises based on young people attending cabins and were killed by a supernatural psychopath, in the case of Scream, Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson decided to recreate young people fully aware of the attitudes that should be taken into account in a horror movie, make winks of the previous horror movies and make fun of the actions of many of the young people who appeared in those movies allowing the viewer to notice the ridiculous of many decisions made in them, which gave a fresh air to the genre until that moment.
