Product Information

Everyone on this audio track made the excellent film Ready Or Not, making this a lively, energetic, and fun track to listen to. Finally, the image on this new 4K release has the frame opened up a little, showing slightly more image at the sides of the film.

The half-hour worth of extras are for fans of the film and the commentary track is definitely worth listening to.

The sequence inside the dark hospital hallway looks amazing with some fantastic black levels that never bleed that are mixed with greenish-white hospital lighting. presentation, true to the picture's filmic toots, holding a good, effortless, and light grain structure. Scream was shot digitally using the Arri Alexa Mini camera and Panavision G and T lenses, capturing the images at 3. The opening scenes with Drew Barrymore show us exactly what we’re in for across the rest of the disc.

First off, the film was directed by Wes Craven, the man who had directed several of the cult classics that inspired this film. A poor use of its classic legacy characters (bar Arquette’s Dewey), a drab set of new characters, no real humour or wit and a sense of ‘meta’ that felt old fashioned and outdated a year after the release of the first film all contribute to the lack of a satisfactory experience. Most of what made the original so successful was the fact that they weren’t trying to create anything new. SCREAM is available now to Download and Keep and is out on 4K Ultra HD™ + Blu-ray™ SteelBook®, 4K UHD™, Blu-ray™, and DVD on April 11. Otherwise, the elements seem to be in outstanding condition while retaining a consistently fine layer of grain, giving the picture a nice film-like feel.Twenty-five years later, Wes Craven's Scream remains a cleverly entertaining, postmodern exercise of the horror genre that simultaneously revitalized the slasher movie, filled with humor, thrills and suspense. There’s balance to the light and dark parts of the image that is almost perfect, creating a real sense of depth to the picture. Paramount Pictures and Fathom Events will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Wes Craven's Scream (1996) with two theatrical screenings of the film on October 10th and 11th.

There’s not as much going on in the surrounds as this reviewer would have liked, but that frontal soundstage still manages to fill the room.Paramount Pictures is releasing a two-disc set (one 4K disc and one Blu-ray) along with a Steelbook the same day. Luckily there are some tender sequences of reunions with certain characters that feel authentic and sentimental to keep that meta-comedy at bay. Production featurette– An all too brief “vintage” featurette that gives us some behind the scenes footage. It was an unusually intelligent film at the time, satirizing many horror genre tropes while subverting expectations. The rightly celebrated and bravura opening sequence is still one of horror’s most effective cinematic set pieces because Craven not just knows inherently how to construct it, but because his cast and even those at the studio trust implicitly his background and his experience to make it work.
