“Still Screaming: The Ultimate Scary Movie Retrospective (2011) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e**** (out of 4)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere have been a handful of documentaries that have been made on the SCREAM films but I think itu0026#39;s fair to say that this here is the most complete to date. I say this because it pretty much features interviews with everyone youu0026#39;d want to hear from with the one exception being Kevin Williamson who was apparently not too pleased with some of the people in the series at this point.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot only do we get the usual characters like Craven, Campbell, Kennedy, Arquette and McGowan, we also get to hear from editors, casting agents, producers, extras and cast members who played some of the non-lead roles. Obviously, this was made before the release of SCREAM 4 so that film isnu0026#39;t covered (which, I guess is why I should say this is the definitive documentary on the first three films).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are a lot of great stories told here as itu0026#39;s clear everyone interviewed are having fun going through the production of these movies. Itu0026#39;s also very clear that everyone is quite happy with what the series did for their careers and all of them tell some wonderful stories about the production and aftermath of the filmu0026#39;s release. The cast talk about how they got their roles and if they came back for the sequels thereu0026#39;s a lot of talk about the alternate versions that were shot and how no one ever knew who the killer was.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome of the best stories also happen with the first film as we learn about the mask search and the various issues that had to be worked out to get Ghostface to the screen. Thereu0026#39;s also some great talk about the box office success of the film and what impact it had on the genre. If youu0026#39;re a fan of the SCREAM series then this is certainly a must see.”
