The Scream Franchise

[Steve003]

It reads a bit… Halloween Kills, but let me remain optimistic.

Ghostface Dies Tonight

And Neve isn’t in it. This may be the first film in 26 years I “wait for the video” for.

You all know how much I adore Neve and the character of Sidney but a change of pace might freshen up the franchise and her eventual (fingers crossed) return in Scream 6 will be even more exciting. Her coming back with nothing to do in 5 would be anticlimactic and I have to say I am looking forward to it being the Gale Weathers show.

I still support her decision to step away if she was feeling undervalued and I hope it will be rectified in the next installment, especially if they plan it as the end of another trilogy.

Yeah Sidney being away gives this movie a big chance to show more of Gale, so let‘s hope they use that chance.

I'm thinking maybe they intended the first movie to be focused more on Dewey, the second on Gale and the grand finale to be about Sidney. Obviously I hope the latter two survive and don't meet Dewey's fate.

I just read a review of Kevin Williamson's new slasher flick Sick (read review here) and this part got me in my feels:

In the post-screening Q&A at TIFF, Williamson mentioned his love of chase scenes in horror and John Hyams, whose film Alone is a masterclass in tense set pieces, is the perfect director to bring that vision to life. Fans of the chase sequences in Williamson’s Scream 2 and I Know What You Did Last Summer are in for a treat. As soon as the masked assailant shows up, the chase is on and it doesn’t let up for the rest of the film. It’s a white knuckle adrenaline rush as the action covers the whole house, the woods outside, the floating raft on the lake and everything in between.

I LOVE a good chase scene and I'm so sad we didn't get one in Scream 4 or 5. I hope Scream 6 brings back the chase scene and I also can't wait to watch Sick for this reason.

Upon my umpeenth watching of the fifth film... it has to be said...... has Neve Campbell aged? AT ALL? Because she looks FANTASTIC in every shot she's in. Queen.

 

[burzacott]

This actually had me doubting my own age.

 

[Suburbia]

Ghostface: Lost in New York sounds potentially iconic or at least so bad it's good.

My Scream 2 4K Blu-ray just shipped.

My Scream 2 4K Blu-ray just shipped.

Mine arrived Saturday. I totally forgot to post.

Pros: the new transfer is absolutely stunning in 4K. The colors are now original/accurate to the theatrical exposition and the digital smoothing/enhancement they did to the original Bluray is gone, the grain structure is back. It looks like a brand new film all over again.

Cons: Paramount cheaped out and the included standard Bluray in the 4K pack is the OLD DISC.

The included slipcover also pops with the red black and white.

Since we're discussing Scream 2, can we agree that the opening and the cop car scene are two of the greatest scenes from the franchise?

People are still not ready to recognise the PERFORMANCE that Ms Pinkett-Smith gave… toe to toe with Drew, Parker and Hayden in my eyes…

They are the greatest. I don’t trust anyone who thinks otherwise.

 

[SBK]

2 is my favourite in the franchise... probably because I saw it before I saw the first installment.

My Scream 2 4K Blu-ray just shipped.

My fave chase scene ever.

[Music Is Life & Death]

Oh this is cool. Is that Skeet doing Ghostface? It sounds like him to me.

 

[Alenko]

Does it come with a Maureen ghost?

Sorry for double post but that‘s interesting:
