Scream Collection

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.

It was accurate to the listing and it came very quickly. For a reasonable price too. Probably my favorite way to watch the first three films.

If you love horror, or just love Ghostface, this is the set for you!I am a collector of all things Scream and Ghostface (look me up) and this is the best of the best for those who want to enjoy the movies the way they were meant to be seen.The extras on each disk are all the same as that from the Dvd's, so nothing new there. But they did upgrade all the title menu's finally.The transfers are a TRUE Blu-ray transfer. Ignore what those say about the transfer who didn't do their homework on that part. As far as the "uncut" version that you can only get on the Laserdisc, they still have not done that in this or any other American release other than the Laserdisc. There are DVD and a few BR copies out there of international versions (all of which I have) that DO have the uncut stuff on there. Remember however, it is just very small cuts and nothing that will make you go wow! Hopefully they will someday release this uncut version in the USA for a special anniversary edition or something. There are several deleted scenes from all the films (incl. S4) that never made it on the video releases. It would be nice to see the other stuff that was filmed but never released.The 4th disk is a pair of documentaries they did at the time Scream 4 was being filmed and will whip you into shape about the history of these films and how they almost never even came to be and nearly got shut down before they ever got off the ground.But thankfully they did and because of it, they saved horror/slasher movies from their own certain death and have become the highest grossing slasher films in history. Thank god for Wes effing Craven!Dont forget! These movies all follow a singular storyline of a central group of characters (which is rare for horror), on top of that it has the same cast AND crew members. Everyone from the director, writer, producers, editor, director of photography, conductor, EFX teams (KNB!) hell even the same prop guys!By far, the greatest slashers of all time.Buy it and tell your friends and family to buy it and keep hoping for Scream 5!!!!!
