Scream: Five-Film Set (Scream / Scream 2 / Scream 3 / Still Screaming: The Ultimate Scary Movie Retrospective / Scream: The Inside Story) [Blu-ray]

The Scream trilogy is the best thing any horror movie fan could ever ask for. It is scary, funny, has good acting, and is totally unpredictable. Let me first say that Wes Craven (A Nightmare On Elm Street) and Kevin Williamson (I Know What You Did Last Summer) are the best team anyone could ever ask for. Ehren Kruger (Reindeer Games) is not quite as good a writer as Williamson, but he sure does a good job on Scream 3 than anyone would expect. I mean, think of how much pressure was on him to finish off the Scream series! Let me go into better depth with each movie.Scream - The movie that started it all. This movie is about a highschool girl named Sidney Prescott. Her fellow classmates Casey and Steve are brutally murdered one night and before Sydney knows it, she is being stalked by the same person that murdered Casey and Steve. Nobody knows who the killer could be. Deputy Dewey is there every step of the way to help Sid find the killer. Anyways, the movie goes on with people being slaughtered and stalked and has a great ending that will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. The DVD features are great with audio commentaries, a production featurette, a behind the scenes featurette, theatrical trailer, Q + A interview with cast and crew. The only thing that this DVD lacks is that it is the "R" rated theatrical version and not the "Unrated" directors cut. It would have been the directors cut, but the studio messed up when they were making the DVDs. Other than that, this movie is a 10 out of 10 stars.Scream 2 - The unforgetable sequel to the one and only Scream. The movie takes place a year or so after the first Scream when Sidney is now in college living a surprisingly good life after her stalkings from the first film. There is another killer somewhere around campus and students are starting to get killed off one by one. Soon enough, Sidney is being stalked again. The killer is so good that nobody knows who it is. Dewey, Gale, and Randy are all back from the first film to help Sid find the killer again. Twists and turns keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat the whole movie. There is another great finale in this one. The DVD features are even better on this DVD then on the first one. It has audio commentary, outtakes, theatrical trailers, Master P music video, deleted scenes, a making of featurette, and more. This movie also rates a 10 out of 10 on my rating scale.Scream 3 - The fianle to the greatest series ever. This movie follows Sidney and her life once again. This movie happens a couple of years after the first one and now Sidney is out of college, living by herself in the middle of nowhere with a new name. The movie takes place in Hollywood on the set of the movie Stab 3 which is a sequel to the other Stab movies that are based on the Woodsboro murders. After bodies start piling up, and the killer finds out where Sidney lives, it is time for Sidney to get out of her place and move into Hollywood, where the police, and returning characters Dewey and Gale can all help keep her safer and track the killer down. The movie has such a good and surprising ending. The ending explains alot of the killers motives and has some really interesting backrounds for the first two films. Although this movie is not quite as good as Scream 1 or 2, it comes really close to being just as good. It is still defenitly worth seeing and owning. It is yet again very unpredictable and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The DVD features are again very good. They include audio commentary, outtakes, behind the scenes from all 3 screams, deleted scenes, an alternate ending, theatrical trailers, and more. This DVD could have been a little bit better, but it is still amazingly good and gets 9 out of 10 on my rating scale.So that basically sums up the trilogy. There is, however, in the boxed set a special bonus special features disc which includes a couple of interesting things. It has a "Behind the Scream" documentary on how Scream and it's sequels came about. It has outtakes from Scream 1. It has screen tests for Neve Campbell, Skeet Ulrich, and Jamie Kennedy. It has a few other things too. It is defenitly worth looking at a couple of times.So that is my review of the Scream trilogy, my favortie trilogy ever.

First off, nothing compares to seeing these movies in a packed, sold out theater! Tons of fun! Lots of screaming teenagers! Goodtimes! God, how do I keep this short? There is so much to say about these great movies! I'll just break it down movie by movie.Scream: Instant classic! The scariest movies are the ones that could happen in real life. Theres no reason why some kids couldn't just go out, buy a Scream costume, and start carving up their friends. Billy and Stu have grown up watching the same scary movies we all have, Halloween, Elm Street, etc. The only difference is they took it too far and wanted to know what its like to be a killer! So they terrorize the small, isolated town of Woodsboro by stalking and gutting unsuspecting teens. This movie, however bloody, is much more than that. We meet people we can actually relate to and care about. Like Sidney Prescott, our heroin, Randy, nerdish horror film buff, Dewey, the town deputy, Tatum, Sidneys best friend, and of course Billy and Stu! Throw into the mix the t.v. anchor Gale Weathers and you've got a fresh whodunit! Easily one of my all time favorite scary movies! The best scenes: Tatum in the garage, Billy and Stu at the end of the movie.The soundtrack is just OK. I would've liked the score better than just a bunch of cut n paste, 90's, one hit wonders.Scream 2: Sidney goes to college. Gail writes a book about the Woodsboro murders, which is made into a movie. Someone decides to copy the movie and go after Sid. But, theres a twist. Billys mom is very upset at Sid for offing her son so she hires some kid to go after Sidney. The "mom comes back for revenge" is a great homage to the first Friday the 13th, but Laurie Metcalf (from Rosanne.) is sooo weak as Billys mom. She really ruins the end. Picture her charechtor on Rosanne, but just really mad. Laurie is a one dimensional actress. This movie had to grow on me, but I love it now. I'm still upset that they killed Randy! Why? He's essential to the entire trilogy! All he wanted was for Sid to love him. Dewey and Gail are back as well. Dewey is just a human pin cushion! In Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Elm St. the killers always come back no matter what you do to them, but Dewey is the victim who always comes back no matter what the killers do to him!Best scenes: Trapped in the cop car! Randy getting the call from the killer!Soundtrack completely blows! Features more forgettable 90's acts. Once again, I want the score!Scream 3: This time their making a sequel to the Woodsboro murders and Sid finds herself on the set. This is the weakest of the 3 by far! What a rip off ending! Sid has a long lost brother? Whatever...I do like how intense the killer chases everyone around in this one. He stops at nothing to get his prey. The dead mom in the window thing is very scary. Sidney is more of an emotional wreck in this one, locking herself in her house. She does'nt really show up in the movie for almost an hour though. But, this is a Scream movie so I do like it. I'll watch the first two a couple of times before I watch this one, but I still watch it. Pincushion Dewey is back for more as is Gail and Randys sister? Weak! That whole scene, w/that tore up from the floor up girl who plays Randys sister is lame. Best scene: Sids dead mom scraping the window with her bloody fingers! Great stuff.Soundtrack: The worst one ever! Featuring 90's cover bands Creed (doing their best Pearl Jam. Oh, Scotty you're such a rock star!) and Godsmack (such a rip off of Alice in Chains they named their band after one of their songs!) Slipknot is cool though, but buy their album for the song. This one actually has a score cd that you can buy. You can buy the Scream/Scream2 score as well, but they are on one cd and very editted.Well, the one thing you will notice about these movies is Courtney Cox looks progressivly worse from the first to last. Scream one shes a hotty, Scream 2 shes starting to slip, but still ok, Scream 3, you can tell shes married because her looks are gone, finito, bye-bye!If you're a huge Scream buff, like me, you can buy the "Stab" movie posters on Ebay! Theres a few different types though, so check for them all. Just type in Scream Stab and search.Well, gotta go, enjoy, my cell phones ringing...... ;)

Ame por completo el box set! Todo fan de estas películas lo debe de tener. El sonido y la calidad de imagen es excelente y más si tienes un Home Theater.

Tolle Filme! Man muss bei den Ländercode aufpassen.

la calidad de blu-ray es buenísima, compré la edición de reino unido porque en españa la edición que tienen deja mucho que desear respecto a calidad de imagen. la trilogía viene únicamente en ingles.

30年以上前の作品であるものの改めて観ると何か新鮮味があり、極めてシンプルな怖さが展開されるストーリーで登場人物のキャラクター設定も分かりやすい。残虐さとか戦慄とかの要素がなくてもホラー映画としてのインパクトは十分あり、そしてまた見終わった後に後味の悪さが微塵もないことも良い。スクリームの世界を1度観てみれば、こんなホラー映画もいいものだと感じられる秀作です。

The Scream horror film franchise was created by Wes Craven (of a Nightmare on Elm Street, The Hills Have Eyes and Red Eye) and Kevin Williamson (of Dawson's Creek, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Vampire Diaries and Stalker). Starring Neve Campell, Courtney Cox (of Friends) and David Arquette (Courtney's ex husband) the series has made over $600 million worldwide.Scream premiered first on December 18 1996 in California. It is recognised as the first horror film to star a positive female role model (Sidney) and is credited with revitalising the horror genre in the mid 90s and inspiring an array of imitators, (Wikipedia).Scream 2 premiered on December 10 1997 and stars previous cast members alongside many new actors including Sarah Michelle Geller and Laurie Metcalf. A scene amongst film students at the beginning of the movie on campus shortly after the first murders have occurred analyses the success of sequels in relation to their prequels and like the Godfather trilogy, I believe Scream 2 does live up to if not supersede Scream in terms of expectation, plotline, depth and scare value, but I think the first murder in film one will always be the most shocking.Scream 3 premiered February 3 2000 and was noticeably less successful than its predecessors. Many account this to a shift from horror and violence as a major theme to comedy. However critics gave good reviews and Scream 4 was released eleven years later. This is also available on Amazon.The Scream Trilogy is exceptional value, especially if you buy second hand like I did. All the DVDs were unscratched and the magnetic catch still worked to seal the box and I found the films terrifying, certainly as scary as I did just under twenty years ago in my teens.
