The Complete Scream Collection Scream 1-4

This set contains the four original movies in the Scream franchise, Scream (1996), Scream 2 (1997), Scream 3 (2000), and Scream 4 (2011), created (and mostly written) by Kevin Williamson, directed by Wes Craven, and starring Neve Campbell as Sydney Prescott, Courtney Cox as Gail Weathers, and David Arquette as Dewey Riley. The series paid homage to, and also poked fun at the horror movie genre, especially the big horror franchises like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street. While Cambell, Cox, and Arquette were basically mainstays throughout the series of movies, especially in the first three movies, all of the movies included a number of recognizable actors and actresses in supporting roles, some of whom were relatively unknown at the time they were in the movies but would go on to be stars. Some of them included Timothy Olyphant, Jada Pinkett, Liev Schreiber, Portia de Rossi, Omar Epps, Joshua Jackson, Tori Spelling, Luke Wilson, Heather Graham, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Laurie Metcalf, Skeet Ulrich, Hayden Panettiere, Matthew Lillard, Patrick Dempsey, Parker Posey, Emma Roberts, Jerry O'Connell, Drew Barrymore, Henry WInkler, and Sarah Michelle Gellar (who was just on the cusp of her Buffy megastardom). Carrie Fisher also had a great guest-starring role in Scream 3.The movies definitely range in quality, with the first being iconic, and the rest trying to, but never able to, live up to the quality of the first one. Personally, I think that Scream 3 is the worst of the group with Scream 4 doing a good reboot of the series using the legacy characters but not having the legacy characters dominate the new group of younger actors.This set is imported from Canada, and it is the easiest way, if you are in the US, to get all four movies in a single collection. In the US it is possible to get 1-3 as a collection, but 4 (apparently because of a rights issue) is not bundled with them. This set appears to include all of the same extras that the US blu-ray releases got including the commentary tracks, behind-the-scenes featurettes, Q&As, and promo material. The commentary tracks were always the longest bonus feature. Williamson did the commentary on the first movie and Craven (and various cast members) provided commentary tracks on 2-4. The movies all looked and sounded good in HD. Obviously, the more recent movies looked better. The movies are now getting released in 4k, but I think the blu-rays look fine, especially being upscaled by a 4k player on a 4k TV.While the franchise is not perfect, it has, on the whole, been good. The misdirection in the first movie was the best twist that the series has come up with. In the subsequent movies the writers tried to (in my opinion) get a bit too cute with the twists, misdirection, and big reveals. Sometimes they worked better than others. The movies are definitely very violent and bloody, and there is a lot of swearing. There are some sexual content and jokes mixed in, but no real nudity. There is also some humor mixed in, mostly dark humor, especially in the first few movies. The movies will definitely not appeal to everyone, but if you are a fan of the horror genre, and 90s movies and TV series (the stars of which basically made up the cast of the first three movies), then this is definitely worth the pickup. Especially, if you can grab it at a reasonable price.

Was hesitant on buying this product from Canada because I am not fond of this company's past blu ray releases. Alliance is known to release their blu rays in 1080i and not the "true" 1080p that most (if not all) films are being released in. I am one of those picky viewers that demand studios to make their films look their best in HD. I can watch cable if I wanted to see these films in 1080i or 720p. Not sure what these are on blu ray, but they look quiet good. And they sound really good too (DTS-HD). It is worth the price to get all four films in one nice collection (without breaking the bank). Just wished the first Scream was the unrated version with the few seconds of gore added back in.These discs actually look about the same as the single discs released here in the US. Just in a compact packaging with each film on its own disc (plus a fifth disc of special features). Each disc snaps onto a plastic spindle without having to slide the discs in and out of a cheap cardboard package. Great packaging for a great collection. If you are a Scream fan, get this collection.Glad I did.

Was hesitant since some reviews claimed the mask was missing. I happy to say however, everything is included. The packaging is unexpected but everything is included in good condition so no complaints.

Very good purchase, and the best thing is that it has the EU2011 mask and it is excellent!

Came in great condition. I’ve seen a lot of reviews say that some items were missing when they received this, but mine came with everything that was listed, including the mask. I love these movies and this is the only set I’ve seen that includes scream 4. It also includes a bonus disc with two documentaries on it, which is a very nice bonus addition. And yes this set will play for those in the United States.

If you live in the United States you may or may not know this, but the box set of scream here in the US does not include part four and you cannot buy it in a store. Licensing issues or something like that prevents this in the United States. However this import will play on any United States Blu-ray player. So if you are a fan of scream and you would like to get the entire collection in a box set then this is for you. As a movie collector I couldn't be more excited. 4 movies, five discs.

I love the Scream franchise, so this set was a no-brainer for me! Hopefully sometime in the future they'll release a definitive box set with all kinds of special features, but until then this set will do quite nicely. I didn't have any issues playing it in my player.

Personally I'm not a big fan of the franchise but my mother absolutely loves them. They made the perfect Christmas present. All played fine we are in the USA so I was a little worried they wouldn't.
