SCREAM
It all started with a scream over 911.....don't answer
the phone don't answer the door and don't SCREAM!!!!!
Scream the movie sensation of 1996 and why
wouldn't it be....This movie had to be the most original
horror movie in over a decade....with Wes Craven and Kevin
Williamson on the job is was destand to be a success...
No other movie has taken us to the brink of terror as
Scream has....from the opening scene to the final rain of
terror from start to finnish it was a none stop roller
coaster ride that left even me screaming.....
I for one LOVE horror movies but over the past 15 years
they have become repetitive and quite frankly insulting
especially for females....Let me explain females have
always been made out to be dimwitted idiots and complete
victums....come on how many women run through the woods
with heels on and stumbel over every little twig until they
are crawling backwards with their breast falling out of
their shirts begging for mercy.....Even though a few of
them died the women of Scream showed what a real woman
would have done in the given situation....and that alone
impressed me...It's just like Sidney said it's insulting!!!
The cast of Scream was the best and the characters were
original yet very realistic....I can't really even say that
I had a favorite because in their respective roles they
were all outstanding...and all of them intertwinded
beautifuly.
The best part of the
movie had to be the opening scene!!! Drew Barrymore was
sooo convincing in her role as Casy Becker and bought real
fear into her character when the "voice'/killer kept
calling her on the phone...I remember when I first went and
saw Scream the first 15 minutes of the movie had me nearly
crawling out of my seat...The best part of behind the scene
info that I found out was that Wes Craven wouldn't let Drew
meet the guy who did the voice in order to make it more
convincing...and that it was...
The Cast List goes as
such...
Drew Barrymore...Casey Becker
Neve Campbell...Sidney Prescott
Skeet Ulrich...Billy Loomis
Coutrney Cox...Gale Weathers
Rose McGowen...Tatum Riley
David Arquette...Dewy Riley
Matthew Lillard...Stu Macher
Jamie Kennedy...Randy Meeks
W.Earl Brown...Kenny
Joesph Whipp...Sherif Burke
Leiv Schreiber...Cotton Weary
Ghostface now this was a killer with it
all....from sarcastic certainty to clumsiness. You knew he
wasn't a monster and wouldn't come back from the dead that
is what made him so terrifying......He knew he would get
you in the end...
On to the killers...Billy Loomis was
a great killer...he had that mysterious quality about him
with a sweet look which made you doubt his involvement...He
made the perfect "Psycho" Killer...
Stu Stu Stu what's your motive..pure
pressure..and some how I would believe that with this
guy.Did you check out the attic room Sid was in before she
fell out the window and notice all the dolls hanging by
their necks someone's a little psycho...but he really made
the killing team with all his short wit and humor.
And what about this third killer theory...there have
been many floating out around the web and in my opinion I
do believe that there is a third killer...there had to be
and I do beiieve that it was Sidney's father Neil
Prescott....for more info on this please visit my friend
Juliu's Scream Trilogy page for lots of great facts and
info on this movie...
SCREAM 2
Now let's talk sequals...or should I say carnage candy....For the second time in my opinion there has actually been a good sequal created..(the first being Friday the 13th part 2) but Scream 2 really outdid itself...as far as sequals goes...I personally liked the first one better but I will take nothing away from this movie it was exceptional....
The story itself picks up a year later with the survivors all returning to have the killing spree all start again this time though they are all in college and there has been a movieStab that was made off their first adventure for lack of better words.....The costume and voice changers are used again and once again the violence all centers around Sidney Prescott (this girl can't get a break)
One thing I am glad that they did was
really introduce Cotton in this film...He made a great
character and can't wait to see him in part 3
On to the Cast...

On to the suspects...right deputy
Dewey....Well from the word go everyone comes out looking
like a suspect....
There is the obvious boyfriend Derek
right....WRONG... anyone who watches horror movies should
have realized of the get go they never would have used the
boyfriend senerio again it's old...
On to the real killers....Mickey was obvious and I did
not like him one bit especially his motive it was weak as
far as I am concerned....but as far as Debbie Salts...a.k.a
Mrs.Loomis...that was the kicker and that made the movie
worth it she wasn't obvious and even thought of...her shy
innocent reporter act was perfect....and the way Gale came
out of that backdoor first really had me going...a good
ending to a good movie...for more info on this movie as
well as the first please take time to visit
