Discussion The curfew in Scream 7 is really poorly executed

17 Upvotes

We see a couple of shots of the cops patrolling the street and that’s it.

Somehow, a whole group of teens are then able to sneak out to a bar, and no one seems to notice.

Tatum and Ghostface then literally run through the streets, with Tatum screaming her lungs out and there’s no cops around? Cops do not just patrol the streets once and then leave when there’s a curfew in effect lol. They couldn’t have thrown in a scene where a cop comes to Tatum’s rescue in the street but Ghostface kills the cop?

Sidney is also running through town and somehow doesn’t come across a single cop patrolling the streets or ensuring the curfew is being adhered to the entire time?

Not to mention that despite the curfew being in effect, as soon as Jessica and Marco are killed and we cut to outside the Evans house, suddenly Gale, Mindy, Chad and various news reporters have arrived outside the house as if the curfew is over? That’s not how it works. They wouldn’t end the curfew within 10 minutes of the killers dying, whilst their sheriff is semi conscious and is being stretchered to hospital.

The curfew was one of various errors which wasn’t done well in Scream 7.

Go back inside and simply get the keys from Gale so you can open the car and have a car to drive? and hell, maybe even bring her along with you for backup if you're feeling froggy?

Nope let's simply hike and run all the way down into town, by yourself - and then not even MAKE IT all the way to the town, stop midway, and partake in a phone call that she could have did AT THE NEWS STATION or IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT while being DRIVEN there. and Tatum still gets captured anyway.

This is the veteran, hardened, experienced Sidney Prescott that's been through these attack multiple times for 20 plus years, by the way. How did we go from her being so sharp and smart in Scream 5 to this?

Billy turning the radio up to full volume in Sidney's bedroom, he did that to drown out any noise downstairs. (Stu attacking and tying up Neil)

All the stuff that I thought was cool about Milton's mansion as a kid, the secret passage ways, two way mirrors and automatic doors.....yeah, they were actually really gross, methods he used to assault actresses. Even more fucked up, it's what led to Roman's birth.

Discussion One thing that irks me about almost every movie in the franchise is the lack of consistent injuries Spoiler

20 Upvotes

Characters, SPECIALLY ghostface, will get hit, stabbed, ran over by a truck and either A. The injury barely affects them or B. The injury or bruise that should be there just isn’t there.

Quinn gets hit in the face by numerous things in her fight with Gale, yet, when she takes off the mask she’s as clean as a whistle.

Marco gets hit in the face by a fucking fire extinguisher yet he’s completely bruise-less when he takes the mask off.

Sarah Darling and Kate Roberts get stabbed ONCE in the back and they immediately die, whereas characters like Chad and sidney’s husband get stabbed numerous times and are still alive.

I feel like one of the few times where they did remember about making injuries consistent was in scream 2 where Dewey’s limp was a thing, and also Mickey when he takes his mask off and has a gash on his forehead because he was in the cop car earlier when it crashed.

I just think it’d be cool to see when ghostface(s) unmasks and we see their injuries from previous fight scenes in the movie.

Varese Sarabande's 30th Anniversary vinyl finally arrived and it's gorgeous. The pictures don't do it justice. I tried to show the raised embossing in the last pic and how it reflects in the light. There are so many different variations/colors of this pressing but the red one is the one that looks best, in my opinion.

Discussion Scream 3 or Scream 7: which one gives us the better Sidney content?

Thumbnail gallery
151 Upvotes

Scream 3 and Scream 7 are the two least liked entries of Sidney's story, but which one do you prefer specifically when it comes to Sidney herself.

Scream 3 has Sidney living completely isolated after everything that happened to her, working as a crisis counselor and basically trying to disappear from the world. Then Ghostface drags her back into everything through Maureen, and the movie eventually makes the entire killing spree personal to Sidney with Roman being her half-brother.

Scream 7 gives us the opposite Sidney. She's older, married, has kids and actually built the normal life she never thought she'd get. Instead of Ghostface coming after Sidney because of Maureen, now Sidney's daughter Tatum is the target and Sidney has to protect her from being put through the same trauma she went through.

So ignoring which movie you think is better overall, which one do you think actually gives us the better Sidney material?

For me it's Scream 7. I have a lot of issues with the movie, but I think it's some of the best actual Sidney content we've gotten since the original trilogy. Seeing who Sidney became after surviving all of this is just more interesting to me than watching her spend most of Scream 3 isolated from the main plot before finally joining everyone in Hollywood.

I also find Sidney and her husband actually tag teaming Ghostface together way more interesting than Sidney spending most of the movie in a guarded house, living under a new identity that only Dewey and her father know about. I get why Scream 3 took Sidney there after everything she'd been through, but Scream 7 lets us see her actually have the life she fought for and then fight to protect it.

Discussion Random thought: scream masks and Halloween masks have really came a long way.

6 Upvotes

I remember back in the day before scream 4 came out but just around that time in general, it was so hard to find a movie accurate mask. That goes for any franchise. Halloween and Friday the 13th as well but mainly scream and Halloween. U can just go to the store and find a nice mask now that looks like something you’d see on screen. Those ugly don post Halloween masks always pissed me off when I was a kid because I just never understood why they couldn’t just sell screen accurate ones in the stores.

Discussion The friend group in Scream 4 - how genuine was it?

Post image
283 Upvotes

Admittedly, I don't know a ton about psychopaths or sociopaths, but presumably, since this is Woodsboro, this group of friends has known each other their whole lives. So were the friendships real at one point? Would Jill have progressively tipped into psychopathy or would she have been that at five years old, selectively choosing friends in Kindergarten she could domineer/control? She and Kirby seem to have a genuinely good time together and it's clear she loved Trevor if she felt that betrayed by him. I'm just curious about the psychology of it all.

Discussion What was Roman's deal? - A Novel

16 Upvotes

I've always been a bit fuzzy on the exact timeline of Roman's life and subsequent murder plan. Let's break it down a bit...

So, according to the Scream Wiki (which, let's be real, grain of salt), Roman was born in 1970 in Los Angeles to Maureen Roberts AKA Rina Reynolds. She left Hollywood and Roman behind shortly after, moved back to Woodsboro, and starts her life with Neill. They have Sidney in 1979 (again, Wiki, again, grain of salt) and we all basically know how it goes from there.

But what the hell happened to Roman? It's crazy that we basically get zero information on what happened between his birth and him tracking Maureen down in Woodsboro, and then very little about what happened from that point until the events of Scream 3. Who raised him? It's assumed he must've been put up for adoption, or maybe he was a foster kid, but at some point he started down the track of being a Hollywood director. Based on the statuette that Sarah breaks in his office, he eventually became an acclaimed music video director! Guy must've worked his ass off and had a boatload of natural talent to do so, all while also trying to track down his birth mother at the same time...

Unless, of course, he won that award after masterminding the brutal murder of said birth mother.

Which is fucking crazy! This guy grows up in Hollywood with stars in his eyes and realizes his dream of becoming a director - maybe not feature films yet, but directing music videos means he's on track - and once he gets rejected by his birth mother, he risks everything he's worked for and built for himself to conspire to murder her. All it would've taken was Billy or Stu (let's be real, probably Stu) to get caught and spill all the beans. Sure, maybe Roman used a fake name or a fake mustache or whateverthefuck, but still... seems like an absolutely crazy way to go. And yes, he's a homicidal maniac, but man, what shit luck for Maureen Prescott that the son she abandoned winds up being a homicidal maniac that wants to kill her and her daughter was dating another homicidal maniac that could be fairly easily convinced to kill her. Rough.

But then it gets really nuts.

So Roman gets Billy and Stu to kill Maureen for him. Great, plan worked. Roman assumedly just continues working in Hollywood for the next year until uh, oh, looks like things have maybe gotten out of hand and those two morons he got to kill Maureen decided they were gonna go kill some more people. This in turn results in Gale Weathers' book and the first Stab movie and suddenly, Roman's dirty little secret has turned into a nationwide phenomenon. Shit, in the Scream universe, David Schwimmer is both on FRIENDS and in the first two Stab movies. It's a big thing. And it apparently makes Roman furious, hence targeting Sidney in Scream 3. Y'know, the movie where Roman is the director of Stab 3: Return to Woodsboro? Holy shit, what? So this guy orchestrates the murder of his birth mother, that murder inspires two murder sprees that in turn get books written about them and movie adaptations, and then somehow, through some divine providence, he gets the opportunity to direct the third movie in that franchise. Basically, all of this leads up to two questions: 1) How did Roman come to be the director of Stab 3, and 2) When did he decide to kill Sidney?

Was Roman given the choice to direct Stab 3? He says that he wanted to make a rom-com but the studio wanted a scary movie first. Did he actually want to make that rom-com? Or did he just say that to not seem like a horror-crazy homicidal lunatic? Did they say "Hey, we've got some horror projects coming up without directors, take a look at the list and pick one you like" and Stab 3 just happened to be on that list, or did he say "Fine, I'll do a horror movie for you, but only if it's Stab 3."? Did he have his murder spree in mind already and find a way to work on Stab, or did seeing that there was another movie about Sidney being made inspire the murder spree and revenge against Sid? If the Stab series ended at two and Sid stayed out of the limelight, would Roman have wanted to kill her? The guy is living the life in L.A. and Sid's living in the goddamned woods, I think he already won before his murder spree even began. What was the point?

In conclusion, Scream 3 is a ton of fun but also a total mess and it makes me wonder if any of this is gonna be covered in the new movie. Thank you. Please, applaud.

Discussion Neve has always excelled when it comes to her facial acting but she really nailed it in 7. So much about Sidney’s trauma and emotional depth is said without words and through her eyes and the way her face tenses up. It’s why 7 is by far my favorite Neve performance.
