Like its predecessors, 'Scream 3' comes with the same supplemental material as its DVD counterpart. Time has been kind to Scream 3…possibly because of what came after film-wise…sadly because of what followed from its studio head…but probably because the jarring humour in the film can now largely be accepted…if not entirely welcomed or liked. It still retains its superb central cast and with a better and cleverer narrative than the previous film, despite losing some its focus on its set-pieces, it’s a case of so close. Yet we have to remember that it has incredibly illustrious predecessors and in any other franchise, this would likely be remembered more fondly than it is. Brash, fun and bloody, Scream 3 is much better than memory serves…but still not as good as what came before. The full list of supplemental features included are featured on both the 4K and accompanying 1080p discs: The previous Blu-ray release was somewhat of a disappointment, hindered largely by some unsightly artifacts and mostly looking flat in general. Thankfully, Paramount corrects that blunder with what appears to be a fresh remaster of the original elements for this Ultra HD edition, and comparatively, this HEVC H.265 encode is a godsend, showing better definition and clarity throughout. Fine lines and objects are distinct and often striking, from the threading of the costumes to the nook and crannies of the film set and various homes.

the old Blu-ray palette, but here, the colors breathe in natural beauty and firm command of tonal accuracy. More than that, the extremes are handled with gray "A Wes Craven film" above in smaller print). Another "3" is present as well, this one filling the full vertical length of the front panel and The Dolby Vision color grading does not push tones to the extreme, but natural greens are appropriately deep and vibrant, as is a yellow school bus, Every one of the well-meaning cast and crew are so enamoured by the minutiae of how they’ve painstakingly and slavishly recreated the look, the locations, the shots, the everything of the first film, even down to the directors of this – Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett – telling us with huge smiles that when they didn’t know what to do, they’d just watch the first film and ‘do their version of that’, that it soon becomes obvious this is more than just a basic remake of the first film. The Dolby Vision color grading brings new life to the image with a natural and eye-catching color grading which is far more exact, nuanced, and boldQ&A with Cast and Crew: Included are What's Your Favorite Scary Movie? and Why Are People So Fascinated By Horror Like its predecessors, Scream 3 was shot on 35mm film using Panavision Panaflex Platinum cameras and Panavision C-Series lenses, capturing the images anamorphically. This disc uses a new 4K restoration of the film’s original camera negative and creates another wonderful native 3840 x 2160p resolution image with the original aspect ratio of 2.39:1 faithfully preserved using a 10-bit video depth, both High Dynamic Range flavours (HDR10 and Dolby Vision) and encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec. Scream 3 is released by Paramount in the UK in 4K UHD standard and steel book releases and is available now. To call this a vast improvement over the 2011 Blu-ray would be a gross understatement. Paramount's new 2160p/Dolby Vision UHD release is stellar,

Penned by Ehren Krueger (' Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,' 'The Ring,' ' The Brothers Grimm'), this sudden shift in focus away from Sidney is a bit bizarre since the closing moments reveal the world revolves around her and her mother. But as mentioned earlier, there is plenty of fun to be had in this third installment. The best scares are early on with Sidney's chilling apparitions, but they turn out not to serve much purpose except to freak out the audience. Parker Posey as Jennifer Jolie playing Gale Weathers is a great character and offers a few facetious observations about actors portraying real-life people. And there's also the fun game of name that star in a cameo with Lance Henriksen, Carrie Fisher, Roger Corman, and Jay & Silent Bob of all people. Plot: What’s it about? Video: How does it look? Audio: How does it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line Plot: What’s it about? and the others appearing with mild depth behind her to the left and right; it's a very appropriate inner print and reflective of the late 90s/early 2000s amongst the true highlights here, revealing deep and intense color detail for nighttime exteriors, shadowy corners, and of course the Ghostface clothes but extending to various environments, such as kitchens, bedrooms, classrooms, and other critical plot locations where the story unfolds in allSadly, it misses Wes Craven. With him at the helm, another entry would have continued to be about something else. But without him, it now becomes about him. Which, while noble, robs the film of being anything other than a soulless remake, with none of the rich vein of humour or depth that made the first film so unique and special. Nearly thirty years after the first film coined the term ‘meta’ and we’re still asked to think that naming characters after horror directors is clever? If you want horror movies, October is the month for you. Tons of horror releases (and 4K horror re-releases) are heading our way in October, including a bunch of Screams, The Mist, Friday the 13th, Rosemary's Baby, and the Shrek 6-film collection. Kidding about that last one! Sadly and again, all are as per the previous 1080p release and all are lightweight and hardly worth bothering with, commentary aside. Deleted Scenes– About 15 minutes’ worth, but these were wisely cut. I felt the film stood on its own quite well without these.

thrilled, and there are few UHDs that prove so drastically better than their Blu-ray counterparts as this. Sadly, that speaks to the bad state in whichBehind the Scenes Montage– Yes, its’ really worded like that. And it delivers – it’s literally just a mashup of scenes from the shoot. And so, with the benefits of time and a healthy sense of getting over ones-self, do Sid, Gail and Dewey get the send-off they deserve? Not quite…but it’s clear to see that underneath that misguided comedy tone, there is a clever and intelligent commentary trying to get out and now, with nearly a quarter of a century to get over that initial disappointment felt so keenly on release, it’s an awful lot easier to see the positives in what really should have been the trilogy capper for this still-fantastic cast of characters. signs of wear and tear. Detail is naturally high. The picture is sharp and crisp, revealing excellent details across the board, including basics like faces That horrible trilogy blu-set can now well and truly be banished as Paramount rounds out this first trilogy with a picture that is every bit as good as those on the previous films 4K releases. It really does show how far we’ve come in terms of understanding what constitutes a ‘good image’ and with the technology and format to finally realise it, we’re continuing to get some truly outstanding refreshes of these older releases that really do warrant a double or even triple dip. I’m very pleased to say that yet again, this disc gives us Scream 3 as it always should have looked. Glorious.

Note that Paramount has also released 'Scream' to remastered Blu-ray. That disc is not included in this set.
