Scream 4K UHD [Blu-ray] [Region A & B & C]

Product Information

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. 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 missing

Working from a digital capture at a 3.4K resolution, it’s likely the theatrical digital intermediate (DI) is the same one used for the basis of this release. The disc (and its only a single disc, no 1080p disc is included in this set) houses a likely upscaled 3840 x 2160p resolution image in a theatrically accurate 2.39:1 aspect ratio that also utilises 10-bit video depth, WCG and both main HDR grades (HDR10 and Dolby Vision), all of which has been encoded using the HEVC/H.265 video codec. Carrie isn’t one of those horror film that can you can simply pop in and rewatch ad infinitum for its camp factor or its comedic value; it has little to none of both, acting more as a drama than a horror film, which is partly why it's so effective. The final minutes of the film, which include the blood-soaked night at the prom, aren't quite as interesting as those that proceed them. We come to understand the pain and anguish that Carrie goes through on a daily basis, both at school and at home. Once we reach the moment when she can't take anymore of it and lashes out, we're on her side. Yet, we're also not on her side during these moments. It's that quandary that makes the character and the story interesting, and why the setup is so much more important than the payoff. Scream starts with a bang. I’ll assume that by now anyone reading this review knows what that it, but in case not – I’ll not explain that here. We meet the cast of characters: Sidney (Neve Campbell), Billy (Skeet Ulrich), Stu (Matthew Lillard) and reporter Gail Weathers (Courtney Cox) to name a few. A string of murders brings Gail to Woodsboro (in an effort to increase sales of her book, about Sidney’s mother). Together with the help of the local Deputy Dewey (David Arquette), they try to piece together the pieces of the puzzle. Suspects abound and it’s only with the aid of nerdy video store clerk Randy (Jamie Kennedy) who starts to connect the dots. Naturally to give anything more away would ruin the fun (for those who haven’t seen it). Horror movies were, and usually have been, a very specific genre. 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?

clothes but extending to various environments, such as kitchens, bedrooms, classrooms, and other critical plot locations where the story unfolds in all film, in some places a carbon copy, in some ways its own entity, but all of that plays into the plot. Though the torch has been passed to new 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. It also includes subtitles in English (English and HOH), German, Spanish (Spanish and Latin American), French (French and Canadian), Italian, Japanese and Dutch.However the best character is that of the film itself, easily surpassing them all as a surprising and very welcome franchise addition - in losing the humour, it gains a sense of brutality only hinted at in the last entry and notably absent in the Craven-directed films. Together with an increased emphasis on the construction of the set-pieces - here, more elaborate and brilliantly put together in terms of geography, tension and tone - the film becomes a terrifying beast, the audience feeling every vicious thrust of the blades that are so lovingly and gorily depicted. The kills are outstanding - from a fantastic opener that cleverly about faces so many of the genre's tropes to the horribly tense apartment escape that sees a ladder put to hair-raising use and on to the subway-set hiding in plain sight of so, so many Ghostface’s - the directors have taken much from Scream 2 here, but this increased focus on the gruesome death scenes is by far the most important. What else can be said? Scream is now a modern classic and, fifteen years after its initial release it’s still as good as it was the first time I saw it. Yes, it’s gory and graphic but it’s supposed to be. Most of what made the original so successful was the fact that they weren’t trying to create anything new. They were taking movies and mentioning them by name and giving us the “rules” of the horror movies. They were telling us what we already knew and we LOVED it! While I wasn’t too much of a fan of the later installments, the first is certainly the best in my opinion. Isn’t it always? Video: How’s it look? The previous Blu-ray release was somewhat of a disappointment, hindered largely by some unsightly artifacts and mostly looking flat in general. Thankfully, Paramount corrects that blunder with what appears to be a fresh remaster of the original elements for this Ultra HD edition, and comparatively, this HEVC H.265 encode is a godsend, showing better definition and clarity throughout. Fine lines and objects are distinct and often striking, from the threading of the costumes to the nook and crannies of the film set and various homes. 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
