"Scream".The phenomenon of the series.It will be loud.Bloody story - movie

It happens that behind decisions that seem to us a pure genius, there is careless planning, non -permanent gatherings and discussions, or even few attempts and mistakes, but an old good case.

The crew filming years ago "Halloween", looking for a face for their film killer, had a very limited budget.Therefore, for less than two dollars, the first better mask stood out on the shop site was bought on the Hollywood boulevard.Luckily, she introduced in American male faction of actor William Shatner from "Star Trek".So the hair was glued to her, the whole was pulled with white paint, the holes and Viola were cut out: we have a terrifying, cool face of Michael Myers.

A similar story could be shared by the late, cult director Wes Craven, the father of Freddy Kruger himself.When he and his team were preparing for photos for "scream" and watched potential open air, in one of the abandoned houses they visited, he came across a mask abandoned by someone.It was a plastic, mass -produced, ordinary shop Taniocha, an oblong, white caricature, reminiscent.He liked it at first sight.

Unfortunately, for the rights to use the props, the manufacturer demanded a prohibitive amount.Craven proud and proud what to do, conceptual artists reported his next projects, but nothing felt like a gadget found by accidentally found.Ultimately, both parties came to an agreement happily and was born, without any exaggeration, one of the icons of the genre - Ghostface.

Realized in 1996."Scream" was like a sip of fresh, cool water for the whole horror.As the mainstream and artistic cinema at the beginning of the decade came up again and for a long time did not avoid the rough realism powered by pop culture self -awareness, the Slasher was not very attractive against it..The masked murderers extinguishing teenage victims in summer camps, school corridors and only seemingly quiet suburbs buried, crushed with dozens of unnecessary and more and less sequel money bringing less and less money.In other words, all their bluffs were reviewed and they were told to put out the cards, and then it turned out that they had nothing more than a miserable pair in their hands.

That is why a kind of reflection was needed for what to do with this fantment, how to shine the waist.And Craven gave everyone a ready answer: you have to turn the whole slasher upside down.Transfer fantasy to reality.Make the characters aware that they are the heroes of horror.Set in the same world in which his viewers live.It was a hit.

The heroes of "scream" were equally aware of the species cliché as the public of the mid -90s.This treatment allowed Craven to write completely new, unpredictable character reactions to the depleted story moves.Film youth talked about real titles, they laughed at the schematicity used by Slasher, often naive solutions and thus his specific vivisection was carried out.Perhaps no mainstream horror has offered anything similar yet.

The natural sense of humor, often almost slapstick, which accompanied the skirmishes with a masked killer, was contrasted with brutal murder scenes.It was a real recipe for success: a film with a relatively low budget was earned by fat millions and the decision about the sequel was made before the first part was removed from the cinema screen.

While "scream 2", which is a lined with authentic horror of a satirical look at Hollywood worship for tapeworms, somehow conquered the box-office and liked the audience due to the logical pull of the conclusion pulled out by the previous film, so "scream 3" balanced opendoor.Craven was infected, falling victim to his own joke, because another sequel forced him the needs of the voracious market and the inexorable producer pressure.Luckily, it was forgiven at a good time before the series became what she made funny.

Although the next "scream" only came out more than a decade later, other creators reacted vividly to Craven's trilogy, unfortunately, most often less talented and unhealthy similar ambitions.In other words, another film deposit was discovered.Ironically, the whole current of the so -called Teen Slasher, which exploded at the end of the last decade of the previous millennium, did not get any reflection from Craven's work.But the fashion for bloody performances has returned.

Movies such as "nightmare of the last summer" or "streets of fear", which also had a few further parts, as well as suddenly vacuumed series "Halloween" and "Doll Chucky", only photocopied proven solutions, wanting to hook up under probably short -term fashion as soon as possible.Hardly anyone took anything constructive from the "scream".

The issue of anything disputed remains, whether the interest in the genre that Craven's loud film aroused, actually served him, because usually on cinema screens and cassettes hosted any, epigonian titles.The aftermath of the popularity of "scream" was a sudden flood of produced on the line of the lowest resistance, which diluted the species back, and as these films earned on each other, there was no, saying, the need to try more.

Therefore, when "scream 4" entered the screens after years, you could count on the old master to show how it was done.Craven, however, chose quite safe solutions, almost duplicated from previous installments, although he concluded a custom and somewhat overtaking social commentary on the risk resulting from excessive attachment to social media.As it turned out, it turned out, it was the director's last film.Wes Craven died in 2015.

Hence, it was not possible to realize the original intention, which was the implementation of the next trilogy, but after the next 10 years he germinated the idea for a new opening.It is no accident that the fifth movie in the series is called "Scream", without any number.It is partly a sequel, and partly reboot, i.e. a contribution to a completely fresh start, but without crossing what happened earlier.The cast members returned from the original tetralogy (of course those who managed to get to life), but they are new, young actors play the first violin here.

On the one hand, it will be farewell to what was, and welcome what will be, and the movie reviews are so positive that "scream" will probably stay with us for longer.Therefore, pull dusty, plastic masks from the wardrobes.They will be fashionable this season.
