Casey, played by Drew Barrymore, is getting tortured by a masked killer man in the very first scene of the movie. Director Wes Craven had told some real stories of animal cruelty to get Barrymore crying on cue. Barrymore is an acknowledged animal lover, and those tales made her cry uncontrollably. All her pain and tears in that scene were natural.

This raw emotion sets the tone of the film: intense and unpredictable. The opening scene, complete with Barrymore's authentic terror and sorrow, has become one of the most iconic moments in horror cinema for a genre-redefining launch of Scream.
