It utilised an anamorphic shooting style (using both Panavision and Clairmont-Scope processes), the beauty of which can now be seen in this newly produced native 4K presentation of the original theatrical cut, created from a brand-new restoration and new scan (although scant details on what went into this could be found). Scream starts with a bang. I’ll assume that by now anyone reading this review knows what that it, but in case not – I’ll not explain that here. We meet the cast of characters: Sidney (Neve Campbell), Billy (Skeet Ulrich), Stu (Matthew Lillard) and reporter Gail Weathers (Courtney Cox) to name a few. A string of murders brings Gail to Woodsboro (in an effort to increase sales of her book, about Sidney’s mother).

A Bloody Legacy: Scream 25 Years Later– The only new supplement on this disc finds us looking at the film, you guessed it, a quarter of a century later. Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette and Kevin Williamson discuss the original, its long-lasting legacy as well as a look at the new movie (which is the only reason we’re getting this disc to begin with). A short tribute to Wes Craven is also included as are some behind the scenes clips. Paramount releases Scream to the UHD with a very strong 2160p/Dolby Vision UHD release.
