Scream 2 4K 1997 Ultra HD 2160p

Story Movie

It was two years after the Woodsboro massacre. Sidney Prescott enrolled in college, moving away from the crazy memories. But the past catches up with her again: the sensational story became a book - a bestseller by Gale Weathers, and now a movie about those very events has been released, stirring up a new wave of terror. And the horror is alive again, and again in every person you meet, you see a murderer!

Review 4K Movie

I love going back to the glory days of the 1990s!

The good old murderer in the grotesque costume stumbling over the furniture again, the sheriff looking at you like an owl, the stupidest reporters crowding around, the blondes doing their evening workouts with a twisted face, and Sidney Prescott proving to the world that you can escape a maniac if you just wait until your friends are killed...

Yes, the days of bloody Woodsboro are gone, but fate is merciless to Sydney Prescott, this time the mysterious X opens a hunt for her on college campuses. Why won't Sydney be left alone? Who's hiding behind the mask? It's a question a great many people long for an answer to: the limp-wristed Dewey, the cynical Gail Weathers, the movie buff Randy... Behind all this is another important question: "Who will survive?" The killer is insane, tenacious and meticulous - he'll get to you and stab you in the back with his sharp knife...

I definitely like the Scream trilogy; you can rest while watching one part and then get to work with redoubled zeal afterwards. Some people are positively affected by comedies or dramas, but for me it's ironic thrillers like "The Scream. They lack the grimness of true thrillers, but can still tickle the nerves nicely in some episodes. No, of course you're not scared in the slightest, but you really enjoy watching what lies around that corner over there, will the killer pop out or not? Who will be the next victim? It's all very sketchy, but it's the elements of banter that allow you to watch all parts of "Scream" with such sympathy. If Kevin Williamson, the screenwriter, had intended to frame everything pathosously and seriously, it would have killed any viewer interest, but it is not a bad dessert for those who want to get all sorts of Bergman, Scorsese and other titans of cinema out of their heads, because you cannot always watch only selected movies, sooner or later one gets bored, you want something completely different, not another masterpiece or philosophical nonsense. Naturally, everything in moderation: classics and "light" cinema.

More than anything, I don't understand people's disdain for anything. For example, the action genre is very far from my interests, all these movies with, say, Lundgren, Stallone, Seagal do not make me curious at all, but I know very well that somebody else can like them, and therefore I don't push the names of such films to the back of my mind, because they should be given credit too. They too contribute to world cinema, whether we want to admit it or not. So I pity those who revel in purely intellectual films, without paying any heed to the lovers of, say, cinematic pop. What are they rich in? Are they rich in intelligence or imagination? No, my friends, with their personal attitudes. I would make the first law of any movie buff: "Honor the interests of the other viewer.

Anyway, back to Scream 2. The cast was a delight in some places and a disappointment in others. Let's start with the second fellow: Jerry O'Connell as the new lover of Sidney Prescott, alas, is not a hero to be worried about. A lupic kid with an absent look on his face. Further, Liv Schreiber as the narcissistic Cotton is very bad; the final scene with him is a sample of acting that is better not remembered. Fortunately, all the flaws are outweighed by the appearance of the old guard in Neve Campbell (Sidney Prescott) and the touching couple, the lame David Arquette and the so-cute Courtney Cox (Dewey and Gail Weathers, respectively). Personally, I also enjoyed the supporting role of Laurie Metcalfe, who played the cartoonish image of the clingy journalist. All in all, the acting was of an acceptable level which in no way spoiled the overall impression of Scream 2.

The music by Marco Beltrami ("Train to Yuma") organically suited the atmosphere of a young thriller, and cameraman Peter Deming, whose hand at the surrealism of David Lynch's paintings, wonderfully gives the film a touch of tension and theatricality.

Laughing at the nerds, I will finally say: "Bravo to Wes Craven! 10 points! Great!"

- Ted, is that you?" That's Sarah Michelle Gellar's uncertain voice.
- Like hell it is! And no amount of security is going to save you! - the killer's husky voice.

Dedicated to: Nillgan, the fearless knight of his universe.
