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. Comedy had always been a big part of the previous entries, but it never felt overt, coming more from the combination of smart characters and the situation they were placed in. Here though, not only do you have Parker Posey pratfalling like in a Jim Carrey movie, but shoe-horned in cameos from the likes of Kevin Smith’s Jay and Silent Bob hint at a level of smug-satisfaction, likely driven by studio honchos The Weinstein’s basking in the reflected glory of their golden goose and their place atop the Hollywood hills...granted these are almost blink and you'll miss ‘em, but it’s enough to show that Craven (or possibly new writer Ehren Krueger, replacing franchise stalwart Kevin Williamson) had completely changed his mind set to the prominent tone of the whole film. with gray "A Wes Craven film" above in smaller print). Another "3" is present as well, this one filling the full vertical length of the front panel and

Sadly, it misses Wes Craven. With him at the helm, another entry would have continued to be about something else. But without him, it now becomes about him. Which, while noble, robs the film of being anything other than a soulless remake, with none of the rich vein of humour or depth that made the first film so unique and special. Nearly thirty years after the first film coined the term ‘meta’ and we’re still asked to think that naming characters after horror directors is clever?

Scream 3 4K Audio

The content of the new featurette seems to be the first official video material of the new SCREAM and the Fathom event looks much more than a celebration! They sure are planning something…

Paramount brings Scream to the UHD format with most of the legacy extras from the 2011 disc (note the absence of a trailer collage) and Scream film) at this original film's legacy, its novelty, influences of Halloween and Williamson's own experiences in life, the Ghostface clothes but extending to various environments, such as kitchens, bedrooms, classrooms, and other critical plot locations where the story unfolds in all The full list of supplemental features included are featured on both the 4K and accompanying 1080p discs:It's sad really when the first two movies in a series( Scream, Scream 2)start off strong — full of laughs as well as smarts — but the last entry ends the entire franchise with a whimper. The laughs and smarts are still there, but it all adds up to a silly conclusion that takes fans to a deep, dark past. It's a plot twist that comes completely out of left field and seems far too convenient to ever be taken seriously. Then again, according to Randy (Jaime Kennedy) in a posthumous video recording, all bets are off in trilogies. The rules don't apply because the point is to explore a deep, dark past, something that changes everything we know about the slasher series. Hence, Scream 3 fails to meet the expectations set by the previous two. Note: images used in this review are not sourced from the 4K disc and are for illustrative purposes only.

Audio Commentary– Director Wes Craven, producer Marianne Maddelena and the film’s editor talk about the movie. It’s informative, but nothing earth shattering. Still, considering that Craven is no longer with us – it’s nice to have.Of course, there’s nothing wrong per se with this film – it very competently inserts Tab A into Slot B in doing what it sets out to do: be the now ubiquitous ‘legacy sequel’ (thanks to The Force Awakens, it’s a carbon copy plot of the original film with original cast members cameoing to hand the baton over to a new, younger cast to continue its fan milking for many more entries to come…). The kills are bloody, the holy trinity of original cast show up and do very little (with the exception of David Arquette who actually is fantastic as a very different Dewey Riley, possibly because he’s actually given a decent amount of screentime (unlike his returning co-stars Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox) and the new young cast are exactly like the old young cast, only with half the charisma and a quarter of the depth. Starring: David Arquette , Neve Campbell , Courteney Cox , Matthew Lillard , Rose McGowan , Skeet Ulrich included one new extra in the form of a retrospective/thinly veiled pitch for the new 2022 Scream film. Below is a list of what's included. The Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced Scream, Scream 2 and Scream 3 for Blu-ray release on March 29, tying in with the theatrical release of Scream 4, due out April 15. No trilogy box set has been announced at the moment, so a tetralogy (not quadrilogy) box ...
