Scream [4K Ultra HD + Blu-Ray]

Product Information

The performances are good within the new cast, but the spotlight and real heft come with the three original cast members showing up. David Arquette gives new life to a regretful and heroic Dewey whose emotions come full force when Gale comes into his life again. And Neve Campbell gives Sidney Prescott something of the Sarah Connor treatment in a certain way that she knows exactly what to do and is not afraid to step up to the plate of violence to protect her friends and herself. It was indeed a breath of fresh air. This new Scream movie is still a bit of fun that pays homage to the previous films and creates a new generation of horror fans with its iconic Ghostface Killer. It can be silly, cheesy, and redundant at times, but for the most part, this Scream film succeeds.

In addition to a terrific audio commentary, there are about 30 minutes worth of extras here, mostly being EPK type of material that features the cast and crew talking about making this new movie and reminiscing about the previous films. closely aligned with the original. The film nobly, and often successfully, toes that line between filling shoes and wearing its own, but it is just missingThe 90s horror classic takes a stab at Ultra HD with an excellent HEVC H.265 encode, giving fans a marked improvement over its somewhat disappointing Blu-ray predecessor, which was hindered by distracting artificial sharpening and very mild compression artifacts. And after years of previous releases suffering some less than stellar transfers, this new 4K disc finally gives the film the nicely textured and organic presentation it so richly deserves. More effort on the extras front would have been nice, but with everything we would want to know about the film already available and out there, this release was all about that transfer and Paramount have well and truly delivered the goods in that department. The beauty of Scream was always its simplicity. Never overt, fiercely intelligent with it and superbly realised, the simplicity of the film allowed everything else about it to be brought to such a vivid life that in a genre whose films tend to act as gaudy time capsules for the period they were made, Scream remains a vibrant, effective, and very modern horror film. Even after twenty-five years . 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 anyway – will be launched into franchise and Horror film lore as has the ensemble from the original. The actors are fine but fail to bring much spark

Scream was shot on 35mm film using Panavision Cameras and Clairmont lenses. It utilised an anamorphic shooting style (using both Panavision and Clairmont-Scope processes), the beauty of which can now be seen in this newly produced native 4K presentation of the original theatrical cut, created from a brand-new restoration and new scan (although scant details on what went into this could be found). 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.

The announcement arrives at a thrilling time for the franchise, with production wrapped on its fifth installment, and director Matt Bettinelli-Olpin reporting that the film is complete. While the movie is scheduled to release next year, Bettinelli-Olpin and co-director Tyler Gillett have remained vigilant in avoiding the spoiler leaks that plagued previous Scream films, resorting to using multiple versions of the script and editing multiple cuts of the film to keep things as airtight as possible. In the meantime, fans can relive the thrills of the movie that started it all.

It wasn’t until the slasher films of the 70’s and 80’s did they gain some cult following. We all know the films like Halloween, Prom Night, Friday the 13th and so on. So when Scream came along in 1996, it was something of interest. First off, the film was directed by Wes Craven, the man who had directed several of the cult classics that inspired this film. It was written by Kevin Williamson who, at the time, wasn’t well-known, but had also written a screenplay for a movie called I Know What You Did Last Summer. That’s right, the screenplay for that was written before Scream, which Williamson cranked out over the course of a weekend. I remember seeing this movie for the first time and, by then, it’d already achieved some sort of cult status. And now, a quarter of a century later, it’s as much a classic as any of the aforementioned films. What’s your favorite scary movie?
