About this deal

Some, but not all, of the extras from the special edition DVD of Scream have been ported over to this Blu-ray edition: At time of writing, there is no sign of the other three films (' Scream 2,' ' Scream 3,' ' Scre4m') on Blu-ray with remastered video. Note that Paramount has Paramount's newly remastered Blu-ray release is excellent. I cannot comment specifically on how this compares to the original 2011 release. However, Scream understands exactly what, well, Scream should look like in 2022. It's very effective and quite a bit satisfying, but the film lags For more about Scream and the Scream Blu-ray release, see Scream Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on March 24, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.5 out of 5.

Things get considerably more complex as a gaggle of supporting characters wander into the fray, including Dewey (David Arquette), a bumbling police deputy, Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox), an aspiring news reporter, and in a very funny portrayal, Jamie Kennedy as the resident horror film buff of the group, Randy Meeks. Randy may indeed be the expert among the crowd, but each of these characters seems only too well informed about the ins and outs of horror film conventions, and that very awareness is part of what gives Scream its delicious comedic edge as well as its undeniably visceral scare factor. Somehow it's even scarier when you know, or at least suspect, what's coming, and Scream manages to play up those self-aware fears, momentarily discount them, and then deliver a killer blow just a beat or two later. And it does this over and over again with surprising alacrity and effectiveness. letdown following up that experience. This is fine in a vacuum, however, with format appropriate clarity to faces, adequate intimacy to skin details and 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). Color reproduction is excellent, too. Primaries pop, again in daylight but also in evenly lit interiors. There are no shortage of bright eyes, red lips, and

Scream remains a very effective genre film and a loving homage to all things Horror cinema. Paramount's newly remastered Blu-ray breathes Penned by Kevin Williamson, who later created the well-liked 'Dawson's Creek,' the dry humdrumness of ' I Know What You Did Last Summer,' and the amusingly fun ' The Faculty,' the script cleverly works to deconstruct convention while ironically employing it in nearly every scene. At one point, it even lays out the rules which govern the structure of practically every horror feature as distilled by the film-geek character, played to silly perfection by Jamie Kennedy. For aficionados, the story is a treasure trove of horror trivia — some blatant, like the janitor Fred, while others very subtle and sly, like Billy's (Skeet Ulrich) last name and Linda Blair's cameo as a news reporter. For regular moviegoers, the picture offers good entertainment, full of mystery and standard cheap thrills. remakes and Internet fandom, all of which play a major role in the story. This is a solid picture that brings Scream full circle and should rile up believe that the killer, or killers (there are always two) are amongst them. As the body count mounts, three former Woodsboro heroes – Dewey

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 behind largely because of a less-than-impressive character roster that doesn't grab the material like the original cast. Still, this ultra-self-aware film Paramount brings Scream to Blu-ray with most of the legacy extras from the 2011 disc (note the absence of a trailer collage) and 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, Starring: David Arquette , Neve Campbell , Courteney Cox , Matthew Lillard , Rose McGowan , Skeet UlrichLong familiar with the genre, director Wes Craven clearly shows he's having fun with the material and many of its self-referential aspects. He doesn't shy away from satirizing the horror films of his peers or his own works. He knowingly exposes many of the flaws in a worn-out plot structure as well as admiration for some its finer features, namely the mystery and suspense. The legendary director shows the careful hand of an experienced filmmaker, pacing the scares and tension with a patience that builds. The camera lingers with moody silence just long enough before breaking into typical jump tactics. It's a technical characteristic that can be appreciated as the work of a skilled storyteller, and Craven reveals he hasn't lost touch of that with 'Scream.' the original, and still the best, Stab movie.

At the time, most horror entries were little more than a joke, and franchise sequels were literally contrived shadows of their former glory. Aside from a few exceptions, the genre seemed to limp along in a daze of formulaic rubbish, and audiences (myself included) were in need of something new. When 'Scream' hit theaters, it didn't exactly reinvent the wheel, and it was far from ground-breaking or original, but it offered a fresh and innovative approach by celebrating the formula which made the genre popular, relishing in its own self-awareness.
