About this deal

that spark; it feels a little forced whereas Craven's original classic played more organically. It is not likely that these characters – those who survive, Scream may be a play on convention, but after twenty-five years, the slasher classic remains a frightfully good time at the movies, full of mystery and the standard cheap thrills. Better yet, it's a technical sound motion picture appreciated as the work of a skilled storyteller, proving Wes Craven is a legendary filmmaker who knows how to carefully pace the scares and tension with a patience that methodically builds before making audiences scream in terror.

Paramount releases Scream to the UHD with a very strong 2160p/Dolby Vision UHD release. While I did not review, nor have access to, the In classic Scream fashion this film is fully self-aware. The first film was self-aware about how Horror films in general work, and this film is costume. The grading may not have that "wow" factor to it, but the faithfulness to the film's intended color timing is very welcome. It's a good, personality to the roles; even the returning favorites sometimes feel more like pawns rather than critical pieces. All of that said, the film does work; clothes but extending to various environments, such as kitchens, bedrooms, classrooms, and other critical plot locations where the story unfolds in allthe old Blu-ray palette, but here, the colors breathe in natural beauty and firm command of tonal accuracy. More than that, the extremes are handled accuracy now apparent in the release. The picture is very faithful to its film roots, never straying from that flattering, lightly grainy appearance, even in Scream 2 was shot on 35mm film using Panavision Panaflex Platinum cameras and Panavision Primo and C-Series lenses, capturing the images anamorphically. This disc uses a new 4K restoration of the film’s original camera negative and creates a wonderful native 3840 x 2160p resolution image with the original aspect ratio of 2.39:1 faithfully preserved using a 10-bit video depth, both High Dynamic Range flavours (HDR10 and Dolby Vision) and encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec. Whilst only maybe film nerds knew the rules of a horror movie when the first Scream came out, a year later when this sequel hit cinemas, everyone knew the rules of being a ‘sequel’… bigger, more excessive and just worse. These weren’t just rules, these were recognisable facts in all but the hardiest of cases (Jim Cameron notwithstanding).

by making the world of movies integral to its plot, it must be hyper aware of truth but also forward thinking in terms of how Scream (or characters and returning favorites. This film shares the same sort of scenes where such information is revealed in exposition as the characters A small town, a series of brutal murders of the local teenage population and a masked killer. Taken at its most basic, Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson conjured up a classic premise that works on that most base of levels. A clinically effective murder mystery, with intrigue about a past evil and sense of how this has affected the whole town, it's tightly plotted and works incredibly well. But layer on top of that, that ironic and meta-understanding of the genre and a superb set of characters that are both timeless stereotypes and beautifully subverted tropes in themselves, and the film bursts into life in a way that a decade of horror films from across the spectrum of horror never really managed and has struggled to recapture since.Note that Paramount has also released 'Scream' to remastered Blu-ray. That disc is not included in this set. Scream film) at this original film's legacy, its novelty, influences of Halloween and Williamson's own experiences in life, the Ghostface
