      Now I have watched the four parts of "Screaming and Screaming". The first part is still the best. It was amazing in Drew's short performance.

      When watching movie reviews, people often mention "Screaming" or "Screaming", without paying too much attention to the difference between the words, thinking that the two are one, and subconsciously it is the funny version. I have watched the four parts of "Screaming and Screaming". The first part is still the best. It was amazing in Drew's short performance; this year's fourth part is not bad. The first part of the series is very good, and a few young actresses acted The second part is a...

      Scream

      Since "Magic House", "Elm Street" and "There are Eyes Across the Mountain", the horror master Wes Craven has created another myth.

      As a kid, I also bought a SCREAM grimace mask (with a headgear, the cloak comes with it).

      The film has a deep meaning. The young people nowadays are empty, confused, and have no sense of responsibility. They only seek pleasure (drugs, alcoholism, chaos, etc., these are the legacy of the hippie wave), and they pursue meaningless pursuits. Stimulus...

      My Watch Book: "Scream 1"

      A typical anticlimax, the atmosphere at the beginning of the movie is rendered very well, but the end is simply a farce. There are no bright spots in the shaping of the character image, and the heroine does not look good. Obviously this is a film that pays tribute to many horror films of the predecessors. There are no less than ten horror films in the film. The process of the murderer's murder is also imitating those classic horror films. The development of the plot seems to be deliberate. It...

      "Three Mental Diseases"

      When I watched this movie, I kept thinking about the "Scary Laughter" that I had watched before. Because I watched "Screaming and Screaming" first, I thought it was funny when I watched this original work. Especially after watching the spoofed kuso video "Spoon Murderer" on the Internet, I felt thick and funny about the killer wearing a grimace costume. The protagonist girl is quite skilled, but the pair of mentally ill children undermines the rigor of the plot. How did the two of them hide and...

      The ending is quite unexpected

      After watching all three, I feel that the first one is the best, but the latter is a bit messy, and the plot is not so good.
      It's nervous and scary. Sometimes I see the heroine being chased constantly, and I also think about it, it's really pitiful, as if there is no peaceful day. There are a lot of helplessness again, hey. . .
          Still quite like it, the ending really did not expect it to be those two people. Moreover, those two people have a tendency to self-harm, are terrifying,...

      Interestingly, Wes Craven was still quite standard back then, but now... two major advantages, the plot is quite full, and the motivation, background, and character are all explained; teasing, parody and deconstruction of horror films. I guessed halfway through the ending, but the movie was not propped up by screams, the beginnings and turns are...

    Movie plot

    On a night when her parents were out, high school girl Casey Becker ( Drew Barrymore ) bought a horror video tape and wanted to watch it with her boyfriend Steve. At this time, Casey received a phone call, and a man's voice came through the phone: "Which horror movie do you like best?". The phone rang repeatedly. Just when Casey was about to hang up the phone for the last time, the man on the phone said that she would be killed if she...

    Script released

    Producer Cathy Conrad found that the script of the film was exactly what Emperor Gate Pictures needed. At that time, the newly established Emperor Gate Pictures had already released several...

    Shoot

    The film took 8 weeks to complete. Because the production budget was only 15 million U.S. dollars, the producer had planned to shoot in Vancouver, because it saved 1 million compared to the United States, but Craven insisted on shooting in the United States, and almost because of opinions. Withdrawal due to differences, and in the end, the Weinstein brothers had to compromise. When looking for a filming location, the producers were...

    Difficult grading

    The film was finalized in June 1996. Due to the strict classification system of the Motion Picture Association of America, Craven's post-editing took up to two months. If Craven can't cut or weaken the extremely bloody and violent scenes in the film, the film will be rated as NC-17, which means that the box office is in desperation, because movie theaters and retailers are unwilling to purchase NC-17 films. Dimen Pictures tried their...

    Evaluation action

    "Scream and Scream" is a masterpiece of youth horror films. While using horror film modes, the film keeps sarcasm about these modes. There are a lot of jokes about horror films in the film. The "Scream of Screams" in the film follows the path of thrillers. Although in terms of plot conception, "Screaming Scream" still hasn't gotten rid of the old system of perverted killer serial killing. But this has become a major feature of...
