Negative Space: Scream
- Scream
- Wow! I just saw all three “Scream” movies back to back. I watched Scream on DVD in the morning, Scream 2 on DVD in the afternoon, and Scream 3 at the movies. They hang together pretty well. This first of the Screams is designed as a montage-like homage to horror movies of the past in an attempt to both go beyond them and go back to basics. If you’re a horror movie fan, especially movies like “Halloween” and “Nightmare on Elm Street”, you’ll probably like this movie.
- Scream 2
- I saw this movie just about an hour or two after seeing Scream on video, and a few hours before seeing Scream 3 at the movies. This second of the Screams takes us to the movie beyond the movie, with the characters in ‘real life’ running from killers at the same time as a movie is shown about their life in Scream. It excels even beyond Scream in talking about horror. Where Scream was about the horror genre, Scream 2 is about the horror sequel in general and about the original Scream. Unfortunately, the actual horror aspects of this movie are not as good as Scream. Still, if you liked the first Scream, you must see Scream 2.
