SCREAM 1996 - RETRO MOVIE REVIEW | Double Toasted 

Jamie Kennedy watching Halloween yelling the name “Jamie” at the screen . Jamie is the actress of Laurie Strode. So he’s yelling his own name to look behind you…That’s Hella meta.incredible

Drew Barrymore said: "In the horror film genre, my biggest pet peeve was that I always knew the main character was going to be slugging through at the end, but was going to creak by and make it. What I wanted to do is to take that comfort zone away." I never knew this. Thanks, Chris.

"I'm feeling woozy here" is one of my favorite lines I quote that shit too much

My favorite thing about Ghost Face is how easily he gets tossed around. His legs are in the air from falling more than his kills are. 😂

It still holds up. Scream is one of my favorite movies ever

I will always love Matthew Lillard's performance in this movie

Interesting fact: During the scene where Billy and Sidney are talking in her bedroom about doing it, the song in the background, “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” is also hinting to the audience that Billy is the killer. Smart move Wes Craven 😁👍

Fun fact: Rose McGowan could fit through the door. She had to pretend to get stuck.

I so want a DT retro review of "the people under the stairs" or a bad movie review of "Vampire in Brooklyn".

Scream was game changer in the early 90s without Kevin Williamson you won’t have teen slasher genre such as I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Faculty, Urban Legend, Halloween H20 and Scream 2.

Looking foward to more Retro reviews Double Toasted

Scream is an insanely clever movie that holds up phenomenally and my God am I excited for the new one this weekend.

Scream has aged very well. It manages to be intense but still humorous to keep you entertained

I remember watching this in the theater in 1996 and walked home late in the evening. I have never been so paranoid in my life and I served 22 years in the military.🤣

19:25 Given the whole movie is making fun of horror movie tropes, I thought them casting obvious adults as teenagers was an intentional choice on their part

I love how Chris mentions that stu (Matthew Lillard's character) survived he's in part 2 during the sorority party scene.

I saw SCREAM in the theater the Saturday after the premiere. I was 14. Obviously they didn’t care about my age. I grew up with parents who showed me Nightmare on Elm Street and all the best horror so I was somewhat desensitized, I knew from the start this was a masterpiece. But for some reason every time I hear you say SCREAM I keep going “Uahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” damn you Master P. 😜

saw it theatres when i was 15! the scene when jamie keneddy was saying "behind you" was one of the greatest things ever experienced in theatres! the whole theatre was literally screaming! lmao, ill never forget that!

Who dare wins? Ghostface Killer from the Wu Tang Clan vs. ghostface killer from scream trilogy.

If you notice during Linda Blair's cameo, she's wearing crucifix ear rings.

Now they’ve gotta cover the sequels and Scary Movie

The Friends reference took me out🤣🤣

I dressed up as Ghostface as a kid three times because of my love for this movie. Still holds up, easily.

I’m die hard Halloween fan thanks to my mom. But I was born in 91’ and the scream franchise is most definitely the biggest horror franchise to spawn from my childhood 😱

The original will always be a classic. Some of it aged badly (the late 90s aged badly) but I think it’s biggest curse over the years has been the Scary Movie franchise. It’s always in the back of my head when I view certain scenes in the first two scream films

Scream did self awarness before it became common for everyone to do. If scream 5 want to duplicate the effect of killing drew barrymore. They gotta kill one of the og in the begining

"I'm starting to get a little woozy here!"

I think Sydney on the porch calling ghost face out is the introduction to who she really is. Every movie she’s on the phone with dude scream2 at the sorority house talking shit/calling him out. scream 3 she takes back her power by “becoming the caller” She’s ballsy every movie

This movie gave us: One of the most iconic horror villains of all time. One of the greatest heroines of all time. Two of the best supporting protagonists of all time. Some of the best lines and scenes in horror history. Etc.

Please review the "Friday" movie franchise. Please

Biggest hint that Billy was the killer was in the soundtrack when he first introduced the song that's playing is Don't fear the reaper 💀

Scream was not only the movie that got me into the horror genre, it’s the movie that made me fall in love with film in general. This movie means so much to me and it’s one of those movies where even when you know the twist, you can still rewatch it and start noticing the details. One of my all time favorite movies and I’m excited for the new one with the Ready or Not directors at the helm and I’ve heard good things so far.

I remember when this movie came out. I knew nothing about it. The movie we wanted to see was sold out, and we snuck into this one. I loved it!

53:51 was precursor to M. Night Shyamalan's movie Signs when the 👽 came out from the bushes.

In the sequel, Randy's "British" accent as a defense mechanism to the extreme pain and trauma from the original murders is great writing. It hit too close to home with a friend back when it was released. I understand the writing behind Randy's fate, but I'm not against the "Justice For Randy" campaign, they have my vote lol.

*malibus most wanted* bad movie review 🍿 would be 🔥 🔥

Not only does the movie not listen to its own lessons, the characters don't listen to their own lessons. After complaining about how the girl always runs upstairs instead of out the front door, what does Sidney do when Ghostface shows up? That was 100% intentional.

Speaking of slashers, it's not too late to do a retro review/roast of Jack Frost 🧐 I'd also love to see you guys talk about Final Destination

Drew was the one believing in the script, shopping it around, secretly being the first producer

Fun fact: I saw Scary Movie first so the film never had the same effect on me as it did with other people. It's still good tbh but I just never found it that scary, every time I see Ghostface I just think "WAZZUP!!!!"

First horror movie I ever got all the way thru as a kid Edit : Also, I just find it incredibly funny that Billy managed to get Drew Barrymore's character to basically cheat on her boyfriend in essence over the phone

I've seen this movie a million times and I never noticed ghost face creeping in the background until this review.. I'll be dammed 🙃 🧡🦇

Sidney doesn't know the killer messes with people. Casey & Steve died, so no one knows about the phone calls on the Ghost Face costume until after the scene where Sidney escapes.

Scary Movie did a good job spoofing this

42:55 It's always funny when someone dies from a TV on their head. See also Grosse Pointe Blank and Nightmare on Elm Street 3 The Dream Warriors

26:39 Waynes brothers joke

RIP Wes Craven.

I think the whole "hiring old people to play teenagers" was a purposeful part of the joke, not a mistake in the casting

When I saw the thumbnail I assumed you guys were doing scary movie, hopefully in the future

I remember being obsessed with this movie as a kid. Such a fun movie! Great review, per usual! Lol

I KINDA WANNA WATCH SCREAM NOW

This is what happens in the movie! The movie begins with Ghostface attacking Tara (Jenna Ortega) and leaves her for dead, but she actually survives. Tara's sister Sam (Melissa Berrara) returns to Woodsboro with her boyfriend Richie (Jack Quaid) to care for her. Dewey has tired as sheriff and has been replaced by Judy Hicks. He is close to Judy's son Wes who is also friends with Tara. The Ghostface killer shows up and lures Judy into a trap in broad daylight while she's driving and she's dead. Dewey teaches Wes the rules of survival and decides to call up Gale and Sidney to help him deal with the new killer. Sidney is married living in Chicago, while Gale is living in Los Angeles after separating from Dewey. Ghostface targets Tara at the hospital. Dewey goes to her rescue, but ends up killed. YES, ONE OF THE MAIN TRIO FINALLY DIES. SHOCKING. People did say he was the most likely candidate. Anyway, this enrages Sidney and Gale who vow for revenge. The women, along with Sam, investigate Tara's friends which includes Wes, Tara's friend Amber, Randy Meeks' niece, Chad (Omar Gooding), Chad's girlfriend Liv (Sonia Ben Ammar) and Mindy (Jasmine Savoy-Brown). There's also a dude named Vince (Kyle Gallner) who stalks Liv. They learn that the new Ghostface killer is doing a "Requel", following up on the original killings and all have connections to past victims including Sam who is the secret illegitimate daughter of Billy Loomis! OH WOW! We then come to Stu's house where Liv and her family now live. The killers turn out to be Richie and Amber, secretly in love and wanting to bring the killings to a new generation. Amber is the mastermind though. They plan to frame Sam for the killings. Sidney and Gale have suspected Sam for a while, but realized it was Amber and Richie. The duo kills Wes, Chad, Liv, and Vince. Sam kills Richie, and Sidney kills Amber. Sidney, Gale, Sam, Tara, and Mindy survive to see another day. THE END. No Stu returning, no KIRBY. Kirby is dead people so stop craving her to return. She was stabbed in the gut deep and left to bleed out for a while before help arrived. Jill also tells Dewey she's dead while in hospital and he doesn't correct her, only when she stated Sidney was probably dead too. KIRBY IS DEAD.

I love the scream movies. I just wish they had a memorable score like the Halloween, and Jason movies.

I read the original Scream Script by Kevin Williamson. The daytime ghostface appearances were described as "something you would miss on a first viewing" there were also a lot more scenes of ghostface stalking Sidney. I just thought that was interesting.

Scream killing Drew Barrymore was like Psycho killing Janet Leigh. Looking back, modern audiences may not quite grasp how big these stars were, and how high the expectation for them to be the stars of these movies was. So I think both movies have aged well, but in each case, you do lose some of that genuine SHOCK.

One of the most fun and rewatchable comedic horror films ever. Quotable lines, memorable scenes, likable characters, and it even managed to be scary on quite a few occasions. Even rewatching it last year, the film totally held up. Also, I’ll never not laugh at that bit when Mathew Lillard gets hit by the phone!

Scream was the one thing that terrified me. That mask fucked my head up

R.I.P. Wes Craven (1939-2015)

Ghost face was shopping for that DT merch, he must have missed the link Korey!

Screen was supposed to be called scary movie but then they changed it. Which to this day I still laugh at because I fat because I love the scary movie franchise where they are making fun of real scary movies when scream technically did at 1st but was supposed to be called scary movie

I love listening to double toasted at work 😂

Real talk,does anyone else besides me think that reveal of Doofie as the killer in Scary movie Is a Better twist then the killer reveal in Scream??

Good film I caught recently was phantoms 98 with Ben Affleck. Really fun and creepy build up. Really loved it and wished we got a few more films like that. Cliche as anything but the whole isolated feeling was so effective.

She was 22

the beginning at the time

LOL at the start of the video. Wes was aware. So are the fans. They actually made a joke out of this for the GhostFace DLC trailer for Death by Daylight where he’s shopping before he kills the clerk. I recommend watching it here on RU-vid. They probably got the idea from this. Lmfao.

Also, fun fact: Rose FIT THROUGH CAT DOOR. They needed to pin her with a nail to those doors, to make sure, she will not FALL OUT, actually. Which shows, her idea was GOOD. She was just, sadly, not planned for a sequel. Which, again. STU QUOTES HER LAST WORDS TO KILLER. And people still believes BILLY did it. Like, any logic clue points on Stu, but fandom by wanting giving Billy more kills, give this one to him against ANY logic. 😂

I think the ghost face following Sidney and broad day was just a wink at the audience that he was always watching her every move. And obviously they couldnt give away the killer being Billy or Stu but they were probably watching her while not customed in the store and the woods.

KEVIN! PLEASE READ THIS COMMENT & PLEASE MAKE SCREAM 3 A OPTION FOR A BAD MOVIE ROAST 43:10 currently rewatching this review & I'm so glad Chris brings this up about Scream 3 because I really think that film not only deserves a BAD MOVIE ROAST but NEEDS one. That film is so damn goofy & satirical, it might as well be labeled 'The REAL Scary Movie 3' 😂😂 That shit is BAD, but the story about the film's production is so interesting to hear & read about. From: 1. The original script being scrapped (due to the Columbine Massacre), leading to a new Screenwriter being hired by the Weinsteins (which is A BIG REASON this film needs to be discussed, considering there's a odd & coincidental subplot reveal with a character who's a Movie Producer....) 2. The new Screenwriter was not only unfamiliar with the first two screams, but was only given 6 weeks to write the script, leading to constant re-writes during filming (which only lasted 12 weeks)... & because the new screenwriter had no knowledge of the previous 2 films (& completely discarded Kevin Williamson's outline) the characters of Sidney, Gale & Dewey (& they're personalities) in HIS script had barely any resemblance to the prior appearances of the characters (leading to even more re-writes, this time by Wes Craven himself) & That's just the surface. There's SOOOO MUCH ROAST MATERIAL

My favorite horror movie of all time! I just have such a blast with it

It's funny you say that Stuart & Billy had gay undertones because in the spoof Scary Movie the killers were gay....or at least once them was gay

... And Chris stole my cool movie fact about Drew Barrymore 😝 Now I don't have any cool movie facts 😹 🧡🦇

I’m hoping you guys cover scream 2 and 3

Watched it back in high school, loved it, still love it today. Glad to see you guys having so much fun with it and appreciating it!

Wes craven did the same thing on nightmare on elm st. He kills the lead or perceived lead.

a good movie that was drawn out into a long in the tooth franchise . . . it's like death is just stalking her through surrogates. Maybe Jamie Lee Curtis can come after her, if the studio can find the cash.

Ironically, as inane as it seems, Rose McGowan was actually able to slip through the cat door before crew had to step in and make her shirt stick to the door. So trying to escape via cat door isn’t actually as ridiculous as it seems as long as you’re Rose McGowan lol

Hilarious but very detailed look back on a classic

Idk they didn't look that old to me but I guess I'm so used to Spider-Man 1 don't think anything's going to top that lol

Making ghostface kind of a clumsy killer was brilliant because its ultimately just a person not some undead/unkillable character that keeps coming back. Suburbanites are way scarier 😱 Dewey forever!

BUT SHE DID FIT! Rose McGowan had to fake being stuck because she made it through!

Newcomers realize she must've been a big actress just for how good she plays.

Scream was awesome at the time but after rewatching it Ghostface is so damn clumsy in the movie all tripping and falling over himself it looks like a cartoon

I never noticed those baby extras that were appropriately aged. Omg that's so messed up to now see the contrast.

when are you guys gonna review the rest of the Star Wars prequels?

I think, not many people acknowledge, that Billy and Stu got DATA SET for 'final act'. It was not even, that he was so HORNY. He just needed Sid off V status, so she COULD DIE *in their MOVIE* - Stu even underline it. 😝 Billy want to kill her. But she is virgin. So, to BE SURE SHE DIE, fallowing 'everything is movie' logic, they makes her have sex, so she died, just like in horror. 😂

1996 I was in the army,stationed at Ft Hood,Tx-assigned to 1st CAV DIV-home unit-HHC 2/8 CAV. HOO-RAH!!!! Guys in my platoon called me-SKIRT-CHASER!!! LOL.My friend's wives HATED ME!!!! LOL. Didn't want their husbands around me,couldn't blame them tho!!! LOL. I was on a mission.HAD a lot of fun in the army!!! LOL.

I just looked it up, it was Linda Blair

a lot of movies after this borrowed heavily from it. But none did it better than Scary Movie!!!

I heard Billy really got stabbed in the ending on accident

Loved Scream it was definitely scary.

I did enjoy this movie and I love Gale Weathers played by Courteney Cox she did a great job and she is so beautiful in this movie and I’m a fan of her character too and also I like Sidney Prescott played by Neve Campbell she did a great job too and I love her character too and I think she is so sexy as hell and gorgeous too and I’m a fan of her too as well and Matthew Lizard as Stu Macher he did a great job too and I like him as a actor and also Billy Loomis played by Sketch Ulrich he did a great job too and I like him as a actor too and him and Stu are both great as the killer ghostface and I like that twisted at the end of the movie who is revived to be the killer all along and it was Billy Loomis and Stu Macher and Drew Barrymore as Casey Becker as a small cameo she was great too and I think she is so beautiful and gorgeous too and I like her as a actress as well and I was 1 years old when this movie came out back in 1996 and overall I’m gonna give Scream 1996 a 7/10 stars not a bad movie at all but it could of been little bit better movie but that just me though in my opinions on this movie and I have the costume of this too

Well placed edit to "does it still hold up?"

I absolutely love this review

All these years I thought Wes killed Drew in the beginning as an homage to Psycho. I had NO idea that was actually Drew’s idea! Wow, that’s brilliant foresight on her part.

I’d pay money to watch a movie with them that includes full commentary lol

Love the Scream franchise. Scream and Scream 4 are my favorites.

I love the original scream they brought the horror back when it was dying out scream is a must watch for me every year at some point they kicked horror back in gear this movie solely there was a lot of copy cats after urban legend I know what u did last summer etc they all took screams formula

Chris has eagle eyes.

Shit that was Linda
