Scream (1996) - A Wes Craven Film (Limited Collector's Edition Steelbook) (4K UHD + Blu-ray) (2-Disc) - Restored & Remastered on 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision & HDR10

Directed by: Wes CravenWritten by: Kevin WilliamsonStarring:David Arguette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Skeet Ulrick, Drew Barrymore, Rose McGowan, Roger Jackson, Matthew Lillard.This is an excellent story about a killer who dresses in a dime store ghosty face costume. He sneaks around the little town of Woodsboro heckling people with vicious phone calls (thanks for the terror Roger Jackson) and stabbing them if all goes as planned. He is an uncoordinated villian and ends up sprawled on the ground as often as his victims. It is an off beat approach to a horror movie that paid off at the finish line like Seabiscuit to win. Many a risk was taken in this film and one has to give credit to Craven and Williamson for pulling it off. What's so unusual? The dialogue in this movie drops the name of about a dozen other movies. The result is not meltdown, but upbeat. Also the so called objective reporter is a main character exploiting the story for her own book sales. So Gale (Cox) becomes a character with a past who has angered many with her selfish style. Another odd thing: Craven goes for laughs here and there. Usually a horror flick is serious and goes for fear. Other things you don't often see in a shocker is very good to excellent photography: inspirational sunsets, sweeping panning shots.Campbell and McGowan do a great job as two feisty friends both with some smarts. Barrymore shows some very good acting during the film's opening scenes. A strange sound occurs in this movie as Neve opens a closet. I have never heard a kind of electronic moan and thought it added some freshness. Music was good featured by an acoustic version of "Don't Fear the Reaper". One more comment: there were of course scary bloody moments in this movie. When Wes goes for terror, he doesn't mess around. He'll make you feel like it's all happening outside your bedroom window. Maybe it is? The phone will ring first.This movie gets my vote as a groundbreaking great idea. Give it a try.

À quelques jours d'Halloween ce film est toujours cool à revoir et il demeure un grand classique dans la carrière du père de Freddy krueger.L'intrigue est bien fichue, les scènes de murders sont sanglantes et à cela s'ajoute un humour noir pas bête. J'ai toujours aimé ce film qui a vu le jour quand j'avais 15ans et même ses suites ( surtout le 4ème film) sont assez réussies.C'est un film qui a vraiment marqué son temps et dont le seul défaut est d'avoir inspiré, de façon involontaire, des films plus que moyens.Mais en dehors de ça Scream est un vrai film d'horreur qui vieillit très bien.À noter l'apparition de Wes Craven habillé comme Freddy face à Fonzy en directeur de lycée qui ne tardera pas à rencontrer Ghostface dans son bureau...Mais au fait: Quel est votre film d'horreur préféré?Happy Halloween!

I should mention that I do not watch slasher movies. I have never seen one. But I do watch Skeet Ulrich movies and that's how this one ended up in my DVD player (actually I watched it on my computer, I felt safer that way). First, this movie has some extraordinary acting in it. If you have to leave it because you can't stand gore, well you are in luck, the best acting I have ever seen done by Drew Barrymore starts off the movie in truly fine style. Her ancestors would be proud. Then who pops up but my favorite actor, Skeet Ulrich, as the heroine's well-mannered boyfriend. It can't get much better than that for me. I won't tell you where the movie goes, but I will tell you it was witty, it was fun, it was scary because it wanted to be, it had a lot of blood, some gore, but truth is I got through it fine because I think beneath everything this was a dark comedy. Do I want to see any more slasher movies? Probably not. But will I watch this one again, probably yes. After all, I like most of the cast, and some of the lines discussing horror movies actually made me laugh.
