Scream - The Giallo Cut

There wasn't a spoiler option on Wordpress either.

I'll ask the code monkey about it though.
 
I'll be watching your edit tonight Neg. BTW, looking at the back cover I notice you forgot a word.

Just when things seem to be getting back to normal for Sidney and her friends, the small of Woodsboro is plagued by a vicious killer.

I'm aware. Joke if you want, but that was intentional.
 
I just submitted the following review to the IFDB.

Damn it! The ride is over. And now I have to get back to reality, and face a post-VHS world. A time where Hollywood laughs at originality, and instead welcomes remakes, reboots, and bows at the feet of the gimmick that is known as 3D. Yes, the 2000's are a sad time for cinema. But now, thanks to Neglify and the fine folks at fanedit.org, you can join me on a journey into the past. A journey that will wrap its legs around you, grab your ass, and leave you begging for more as you scream out its name in that last bout of ecstasy.

Don't be afraid my friends, the past will not bite. The past is your long lost lover, come back to remind you how good you used to have it. It wants to know why you abandoned her for the whore that is high definition. Won't you give her just one more chance? She promises you won't be disappointed. What's that? You will? You're making a very wise choice my friend. A very wise choice indeed.

Now the first thing I'm going to need you to do is get your old CRT tv out of storage. What's that? You've got a perfectly good high definition tv already all set up and you don't want to lug out your old, outdated, one instead? Give me one good reason why not. What's that? It weighs too much? Oh bullshit! Now do you want to do this right, or do you not want to do this at all? Yeah, that's what I thought!

Alright, so you've got your old CRT tv all set up. Now just pop in that DVD and let's get started. Yes, I said DVD. What? You thought we were going to watch a VHS tape? Will you just shut up and trust me here, I know what I'm doing.

Alright, now that we've got that settled, let's get that sucker started. Things start off nicely. No menus whatsoever. It just gets straight to the point. First we've got a trailer for Scream 2, giallo-fied of course to match the theme of the evening, and then we get right into the movie. What's with the shitty picture and 2.0 sound you ask? Didn't I tell you we were taking a ride into the past? This is VHS in all its glory. It only looks shitty because you've been corrupted by that whore, who shall hereby remain nameless. Yeah, you know what you did. Don't even try to deny it.

Let's just move on already. Alright. As I mentioned, before I was so rudely interrupted, the video and audio isn't the best, but in this situation that is definitely a plus. After all, this edit is a throwback to an earlier time. A time we'd all wish we could go back to. Don't even try to deny it, you know you'd go back if you could. Another thing that helps to solidify the authenticity of that time period is the music, most of which has been replaced with score by the band Goblin. But don't worry though, Red Right Hand is still present. Although I can't help but wonder how the movie would feel without it.

The movie itself isn't very different from the theatrical/director's cut, but the tone of the film is completely different now that the music has been replaced with score. It truly leaves you feeling like you're watching an authentic giallo film. And you really have to see that opening scene as it works its way into the title sequence. I had goosebumps. I also liked how Neglify used snippets of other giallo's to give Maureen Prescott a bigger role in the film. And the music he used for the sex scenes between Sidney and Billy felt like they had been lifted from some softcore porn film. My only problem with the score is that I thought the wrong musical piece was selected for the end of the film. The music just feels too lighthearted and easy going for what is being shown on the screen. Aside from that though I had no complaints. Two thumbs way up!

Alright. So now that the movie's over, aren't you glad that I made you lug your old CRT tv out? That's what I thought. You're welcome! But don't go lugging it back into storage just yet. Neglify will be back with Scream 2: The Giallo Cut, and you know you're going to want to see that one.
 
Wow, dude. That was a review and a bag of chips. Loved that you loved it so.

Thank you FC! :)
 
I hope that wasn't a bad of Dill Pickle chips, because those are mine! You can have the BBQ ones instead. :lol:

But seriously. I really did enjoy it. And I don't know if you're going to stop making Giallo Cut's after Scream 2, but I think My Bloody Valentine would make a great giallo film.
 
One of the best reviews yet written!

Thanks Rogue! I'll be honest, I didn't know where I was going with that at first. It took me about 10 minutes before I could figure out what to say. I mean, I knew what I wanted to say, but I didn't know how to wrap it all together. Once I got started though I couldn't stop. The words just kept pouring out. Even I was wondering when I'd get to the actual review part of the review. :lol: I do think it's one of the best things I've ever written though, even though it sounds like a spiel straight out of an infomercial. :lol:
 
I forgot to mention in my review, but I was so into the VHS feel of the movie that at the point where the tape scrambles for a second or two I actually said "Goddamn tape!", and was about to get up to eject it to see how damaged the tape was. Then I remembered that I was watching a DVD. :lol:

You can probably find a brand new copy for real cheap. I don't know about in the UK, but here you can pick up a Blu-Ray copy of the first 3 films for 11$ a piece brand new.
 
Amazon (UK) it's like 5 pounds for the DVD and 10 pounds for the BD.
 
10 pounds of what?

;-)
 
there is a second hand store chain here in the uk called cash generator you can pick up dvd's for a £1 i go there all the time during my dinner break :)

We've just had one of those open up near me. It's a gold mine for cheap discs. So much so, the Cash Concepts around the corner have started to knock their dvds out at a quid a pop now. Spoiled for choice, or what?
