Honestly I wish there was a scene of Dewy going into the “stabathon”, seeing the recreation of his sister’s death, and him visibly upset. It would’ve set up a distaste for how his family tragedy has been trivialized
They definitely deleted a scene where he talks about Tatum with Judy, who doesn’t seem to know any details about the original woodsboro murders. Probably for the best though as she acted like she had no idea who Tatum was, even though she supposedly went to school with her and Sidney and would have been well aware of the murders from the past.
In the original it didn't even show him being upset over Tatum's death, like Sid, even though she was in danger she froze and had some tears well up. But it didn't even make it into the script, and I was like damn. Tatum dies suddenly never gets mentioned again.
Their was a scene with Charlie, Sidney, and Kirby where Charlie wanted to come inside but Kirby wouldn’t let him. It was very reminiscent to the scene from The Faculty (1998). The one where Stokely wouldn’t open the door for Stan because she was afraid he might’ve been one of the aliens.
🤔Or it's just another one of those time honored used cliche's of people being too scared to let the odd 1 out inside...🙃 😒You know like in The Thing? Or films like it?😏

That is amazing and awesome job man to know everything and write it or type on here. Hope u get more likes . Most of my favorites and I started watching horror movie at age 8 Halloween the original movie and I can fall asleep to them too
I can't believe I never realized that Charlie being taped to that chair and Jill asking Kirby asking horror movie trivia was supposed to be a recreation of Casey being asked those questions while Steve is stuck in that situation. How did I not realize this earlier?! It was so obvious! Thank you, Zack, for pointing that out.
Jill betraying Charlie is not just a callback to Scream 2. You see, in Scream 3, Roman revealed to Sidney that he told Billy to have a partner with him to blame all the murders on just in case things didn't go according to plan. In the first Scream, Billy cut Stu to deep. Billy was willing to kill Stu so he could be the soul survivor. Therefore, Jill betraying Charlie was her just still following the source material with Billy willing to kill Stu.
The writing on the wall in the alternate Marnie and Jenny scene could be a reference to "Urban Legend" (1998). Namely, when Natalie wakes to find her roommate Tosh murdered and "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?" painted on the wall in Tosh's blood.
what’s funny is that the reason he did the head tilt was because the guy who was wearing the ghost face costume at that time also played Michael in one or more of the hollween movies:) him just doin his thang
I saw your IG story about how difficult it is to edit these videos, and I absolutely admire your hard work!😍It paid off, and I really enjoyed this upload so much.👌🏻You keep the Scream fandom’s pulse going!🖤❤️
The scene in the original Scream where Billy climbs through Sidney's bedroom window is a reference to Glen doing the same in A Nightmare on Elm Street so it's a double reference
Rebecca’s death always reminded me of “Cursed” the garage scene. Also by Kevin Williamson / Wes Craven. The dark parking garage, the car alarm, running to an exit. I know it’s not quite the same, but the scene always reminded me of Cursed.
You put SO much effort into this that I'm in awe. The movie itself doesn't deserve this level of love and devotion, despite its few good points. You're a rock star.
I was playing a game with my sister for this video, you said there was 65 references made in the movie. So my sister and I numbered a paper 1-65, played the video and began to write how many horror movies we could think of. One of the rules being to not name movies that have been just name dropped. And I won, getting 64 of 65. We couldn't name sequels unless two franchises were merged (AVP for ex.) and if it was a different killer (Friday the 13th: A New Beginning for ex.) Since I know a lot of slashers and Stephen King movies, that made up most of my list. My sister's was mostly filled with 80-90s horror movies along with a few new ones sprinkled in. For anyone wondering she got 60 of 65. So really close. My sister and I will often play games like this out of boredom and to also make the video watching more fun.
18:52 On the bulletin board on the right, there's what appears to be a comic version of the publicity pic of Steven Speilberg in the shark's mouth from the making of "Jaws".
The scene in which Kirby isn't sure if she should let Charlie in (right before Ghostface calls her to play the game) is a callback to The Faculty where there is a nearly identical scene. This is because both films were written by Kevin Williamson and I guess he likes to reference himself.
I was beginning to wonder when the scream 4 meta references video was coming but I knew it was taking time and work due to them going all out with the references in 4. Thank you for all your hard work and quality put into your channel, you make me love a franchise even more than I already thought possible with your in depth analysis of every fine grain and detail of these beloved movies ❤ 🔪
OMG! Zack, I haven't watched the video yet, but I've already come to thank you for taking all this work and bringing this incredible content to us. I became a fan of these videos, I even started watching the movies mentioned in Scream and Scream 2! This series “Every Single HORROR MOVIE REFERENCE in scream” was one of the best things I've watched on TH-cam horror genre channels, congratulations!!!
I love these reference videos! Is there one for 5cream coming anytime soon? “All the Halloween franchise references in Halloween 2018” would be cool! Kills and Ends etc. Both 2018 and Kills are full of references from the original and the sequels. Keep up the good work - one of my favourite horror channels!
I remember when I saw this in movie theaters in 2011 and I was LOVING every reference. Great job as always! (To be fair, Argento does often always have a head through glass moment, but since Deep Red did it first and best, I understand why you limited it to just one!)
Wait a minute. Sid wasn’t suing for using her likeness but using her story. So Stab made stuff up. Edit: The stepfather in Amityville Horror was the brother who killed the family so that’s probably what he meant. Halloween might have meant the franchise itself.
Great list. My thoughts. The "Friday the 13th Thrown thru window can be seen in virtually every one if you wanna get picky. Thrown thru the window- F 13th Parts one (Brenda somehow thrown thru window by Pamela) Part two (Jason crashes thru window to get Ginny) Part three (Rick thrown thru window by Jason) Part 4 (Tina pulled out window by Jason/Rob thrown thru window by Jason. (and Tish and Jason both crash thru windows/doors) Part 5 (Reggie’s Grandfather thrown thru window by "Jason") Part 6 (Paula thrown thru window by Jason. I think Jason also crashes thru a door) Part 7 (Robin tossed thru window by Jason/ Jason jumps thru window) Part 8 (Charles (Rennie’s Uncle thrown thru a window by what must be a teleporting Jason) Part 9 (Steve and Jason go thru a window during end fight) Part 10 (Sargent Marcus thrown thru a metal door by Jason) Also in "I know What You Did Last Summer" Helen calls her Deputy Chauffeur "Barney Fife" so that could be a reference as well.
Before you started this series I teased the idea of Ghostface calling a character who was babysitting and asking “Have you checked the children”? Your first video in this series explains why so thanks Zack. 😊 🙏
I always had the impression that Scream 4 was the movie in the franchise with the most references precisely because of Kirby, Charlie and Robbie, and also because they referenced the movie Scream itself with the 'Stab'
Love the video. However I was wondering if you’ve ever seen Scary Movie? I’m assuming you have. I was watching it today and saw a poster for Scream hidden in one of the scenes. I was completely shocked. For a parody film, it has a surprising amount of effort and hidden Easter egg references in it 😲
13:56 that would’ve been so cool!!!! i feel like it would’ve been so entertaining because it would be the first time the killer got away with it and by the end of scream 5, jill probably would’ve been exposed as the killer and both her and the new killer would get in trouble😳
Amityville Horror literally draws parallels to the Defeo family, and how story wise the relationship is eerily similar between the newer family moving in. In the remake we ignore the second one and see Ron kill his entire family at the beginning, and that movie came out half a decade before this one.
I wouldn't call Sidney surviving plot armor as if you learn enough skills, you can survive a lot of things. Either way, I'd place it in reference to Rob Zombie's Halloween pair of movies.
This may be a stretch with the hospital scene but with Sidney’s fired editor and being chased by Ghostface in the parking deck it kinda reminded me of felt like Wes Craven’s werewolf parking deck/lot chase scene from Cursed with Joshua Jackson. No werewolves but the parking lot vibes just give me that reference.
OK I got a few things to say about scream 4 that maybe people haven't noticed or it went right under them is ok since it's a 4th sequel, I picked out a iconic well known similar scene from the 4th Halloween film being kind of nodding to the particular scene where Jamie and Rachel are being pursued by michael Myers on the roof top of the house in order to escape from michael..anyways we all remember this when jamie falls and Rachel is still on the rood being slashed at with Michael's knife she briefly is left hanging her hand on the roof top so she doesn't fall but michael Myers follows her hands as she dangles loosely barely able to hang on much longer and michael finally slashes with his knife on to Rachel's hand cutting her hand so she falls s down to the ground..well I think if u watch the roof chase scene in scream 4 you'll notice the similarity how Sidney is being chased by Ghostface and she does what Rachel in H4 did she hangs down till Ghostface cuts her loose with his knife and Sidney falls down to the ground..it just reminded me of the rooftop scene in Halloween 4 and coincidence it is a 4 th movie in the franchise to have similar scene play out by victim and killers..I think they gave H4 a nodd in my opinion. OK MY final thing I don't get and I've rewatched scream 4 many times thru the years and saw it again on TV one day recently..and it's the part when Kirby is being quizzed on her horror knowledge , well it's specifically when Ghostface says name the groundbreaking horror remake that spawned and he stops completely as she begins to quick shout out all thee horror remakes. Well did u guys notice Ghostface can be heard unfinished question..he doesn't finish the whole question that he wants her to answer he pauses right away when Kirby shouts interrupting Ghostface on his quiz question about horror remakes. I tell u it makes me cringe cause it looks like a edit or cut scene where he doesn't finish his sentence. And it's so clearly in the final cut of the movie I cnt get over the mistake left in or don't kno how to make sense of it watch that scene again and you'll notice Ghostface bring cutt off from his question to kirby
In what very well might be a reference to Scream 4, in The Town That Dreaded Sundown remake three years later, the town holds a controversial movie night every year where they watch a movie created about their past serial killer, much like the Stabathon
It looks as if they made an effort to remove all references planted on the dead bodies, like how we had the Maureen pictures in Scream 3, but with all the kills in scream 4 having their references to earlier kills in the franchise removed. No being strung up hanging or tied to a chair, or head through the door frame, it seems like what they edited out of the movie and left in the deleted scenes was all those references and the supporting scenes to those references.
Yeah I also have my eyes on Judy Hicks. She seems mighty suspicious. But the fact one of the posters says "The killer is on this poster", makes me believe there is possibly only one killer because they used 'killer' as a singular, not plural.
@@kimberleymonroe1157 I could see that. Especially as creepy as she was in Scream 4. And the bullet proof vest bit she pulled reminds me of Roman from 3. I could see her being the jealous type, and Gale being one of the first targets.
With the scene of watching Olivia being killed across the window could also reference Disturbia with watching someone get killed while sitting in their house
Olivia's death sorta reminds me of Beth's death from Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers; where the leading character witnesses the killer murdering someone
i read a fun fact a few months ago that they included the garage door in 4 because of comments after the first movie that said a garage door wouldn't lift a body up like that lmfao
I'm not the pro but I noticed 2 other possible references... The writing on the wall at 8:31 makes me think of Urban legends As well as like another commenter mentioned the start of Rebecca's dead is alot like the garage death in Cursed
A year late, but hiding in the closet scene. I was certain you were gonna reference halloween curse of Michael Myers killing the heroine brother's girlfriend in the window lol 😆
You forgot 1 more reference Dewey's cell phone ringtone yes it played the Beverly Hills cop theme song but this was also a direct nod to Wes Craven's movie with Eddie Murphy called a Vampire in Brooklyn
Not a reference as it obviously came out after, but the alternate opening with the non-belief turning to realization reminds me of a very similar part in Hell Fest.
I hate it when changes are made to the script “for the better” when they actually would’ve added to the film. I felt like they heavily did that to the Nightmare on Elm Strt Remake (took too many things out) and Scream 4 would’ve been that much better with all the cut content they stripped from it as well! So glad to see some new directors taking a stab at the franchise though. I hope they truly do it justice and don’t cut a bunch of small content real fans would appreciate, or any story lines that would alter the franchise, like Jill surviving or Hicks being a killer.
Not a horror movie reference, but when Jill is hurting herself at the end to make it look like she's fought for her survival she jumps backwards into a glass coffee table. This an EXACT copy of Fight Club where Edward Norton beats himself up in front of his boss :)
I spotted a reference to the title card of the film. The A in scream is replaced with a 4 just like the V in seven is replaced by a 7 making it Se7en and in this its called Scre4m
I really love Scream 4, it gave us some of my personal favourite moments in the franchise like Kirby's trivia phone call, the closet fakeout before Olivia's kill, and the entire scene from Jill's ghostface reveal to explaining her motive and staging her own attack. The only thing I can't stand is the double fakeout or literally any of the opening scene. Its so fucking stupid like it only tricks us on the first watch and even in the Scream universe how would that trick anyone watching Stab 6 if they already saw Stab 5, wouldn't they know it was the same scene from the previous movie? Its such a small detail but it annoys me every time 😂
Strange, that never bothered me. A meta-movie series taking the concept into self-parody was perfect in my opinion. I quite enjoy the opening for that reason.

Honestly I wish there was a scene of Dewy going into the “stabathon”, seeing the recreation of his sister’s death, and him visibly upset. It would’ve set up a distaste for how his family tragedy has been trivialized
They definitely deleted a scene where he talks about Tatum with Judy, who doesn’t seem to know any details about the original woodsboro murders. Probably for the best though as she acted like she had no idea who Tatum was, even though she supposedly went to school with her and Sidney and would have been well aware of the murders from the past.
@@ZackCherry yeah that does seem really weird that she wouldn’t have known about it.
I actually forget all the time that Tatum was his sister so I agree
In the original it didn't even show him being upset over Tatum's death, like Sid, even though she was in danger she froze and had some tears well up. But it didn't even make it into the script, and I was like damn. Tatum dies suddenly never gets mentioned again.
She’s mentioned in all of the sequels.
Their was a scene with Charlie, Sidney, and Kirby where Charlie wanted to come inside but Kirby wouldn’t let him. It was very reminiscent to the scene from The Faculty (1998). The one where Stokely wouldn’t open the door for Stan because she was afraid he might’ve been one of the aliens.
🤔Or it's just another one of those time honored used cliche's of people being too scared to let the odd 1 out inside...🙃
😒You know like in The Thing?
Or films like it?😏
The idea of Scream 5 being about Jill getting away with killing everyone and getting stalked by Ghostface herself sounds awesome!!!

I found your videos in October and find myself still here Christmas time. That just goes to show how great your content is!
Thank you!
Wow 3 months!
I can't believe I never realized that Charlie being taped to that chair and Jill asking Kirby asking horror movie trivia was supposed to be a recreation of Casey being asked those questions while Steve is stuck in that situation.

In the first Scream, Billy cut Stu to deep. Billy was willing to kill Stu so he could be the soul survivor. Therefore, Jill betraying Charlie was her just still following the source material with Billy willing to kill Stu.
In the Grudge the house is technically “possessed” by the family that was murdered by the father. This may be the reference referred in the movie.
God, Kirby’s call with Ghostface in the basement is possibly my favorite Ghostface phone call moment in the franchise, right behind Casey!
The writing on the wall in the alternate Marnie and Jenny scene could be a reference to "Urban Legend" (1998). Namely, when Natalie wakes to find her roommate Tosh murdered and "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?" painted on the wall in Tosh's blood.
As a forever 90s baby I while terrified at the time, will always have a special place in my heart for Scream.
I just realized how the story of peeping tom relates to scream 4. Both killers were making movies of their victims.
what’s funny is that the reason he did the head tilt was because the guy who was wearing the ghost face costume at that time also played Michael in one or more of the hollween movies:) him just doin his thang

And we’re at the end of the horror movie references in Scream but the Scream videos will live on. 🔪 🩸
Until the new Scream comes out 🙏

Great list. My thoughts. The "Friday the 13th Thrown thru window can be seen in virtually every one if you wanna get picky. Thrown thru the window-
F 13th Parts one (Brenda somehow thrown thru window by Pamela)
Part two (Jason crashes thru window to get Ginny)
Part three (Rick thrown thru window by Jason)
Part 4 (Tina pulled out window by Jason/Rob thrown thru window by Jason. (and Tish and Jason both crash thru windows/doors)
Part 5 (Reggie’s Grandfather thrown thru window by "Jason")
Part 6 (Paula thrown thru window by Jason. I think Jason also crashes thru a door)
Part 7 (Robin tossed thru window by Jason/ Jason jumps thru window)
Part 8 (Charles (Rennie’s Uncle thrown thru a window by what must be a teleporting Jason)
Part 9 (Steve and Jason go thru a window during end fight)
Part 10 (Sargent Marcus thrown thru a metal door by Jason)
Also in "I know What You Did Last Summer" Helen calls her Deputy Chauffeur "Barney Fife" so that could be a reference as well.

Love the video. However I was wondering if you’ve ever seen Scary Movie? I’m assuming you have. I was watching it today and saw a poster for Scream hidden in one of the scenes. I was completely shocked. For a parody film, it has a surprising amount of effort and hidden Easter egg references in it 😲
This movie deserved a director's cut
IVE BEEN DYING FOR YOU TO DO THIS MOVIE
I am from Russia, here we have 11:22 pm, thanks, now I will go to sleep even later than I planned! best horror-themed youtube channel ever ;)
This video was worth waiting 3 months after you doing horror movie references in scream 3!
26:03: House of Wax (2005) my favorite horror movie. It's one of my top 5. I love the Scream queen Elisha Cuthbert thanks to this movie!
IT'S FINALLY HERE, THANK YOU ZACK
Crazy! Ten years later and from this I never saw Gales’ book on the shelf- well really, all the small details they added to throw/ twist your mind🤯
13:56 that would’ve been so cool!!!! i feel like it would’ve been so entertaining because it would be the first time the killer got away with it and by the end of scream 5, jill probably would’ve been exposed as the killer and both her and the new killer would get in trouble😳
Great vid man!
Was waiting for this!
i love how you put where the sections start and when it finishes so if you don't wanna watch it you can skip easily
Zack I needed this today ! Thank you

In the remake we ignore the second one and see Ron kill his entire family at the beginning, and that movie came out half a decade before this one.

I wouldn't call Sidney surviving plot armor as if you learn enough skills, you can survive a lot of things. Either way, I'd place it in reference to Rob Zombie's Halloween pair of movies.
Another Scream video. Wasn’t expecting it but still very welcome. Thanks Zack.🤗 🙏 👍

OK I got a few things to say about scream 4 that maybe people haven't noticed or it went right under them is ok since it's a 4th sequel, I picked out a iconic well known similar scene from the 4th Halloween film being kind of nodding to the particular scene where Jamie and Rachel are being pursued by michael Myers on the roof top of the house in order to escape from michael..anyways we all remember this when jamie falls and Rachel is still on the rood being slashed at with Michael's knife she briefly is left hanging her hand on the roof top so she doesn't fall but michael Myers follows her hands as she dangles loosely barely able to hang on much longer and michael finally slashes with his knife on to Rachel's hand cutting her hand so she falls s down to the ground..well I think if u watch the roof chase scene in scream 4 you'll notice the similarity how Sidney is being chased by Ghostface and she does what Rachel in H4 did she hangs down till Ghostface cuts her loose with his knife and Sidney falls down to the ground..it just reminded me of the rooftop scene in Halloween 4 and coincidence it is a 4 th movie in the franchise to have similar scene play out by victim and killers..I think they gave H4 a nodd in my opinion. OK MY final thing I don't get and I've rewatched scream 4 many times thru the years and saw it again on TV one day recently..and it's the part when Kirby is being quizzed on her horror knowledge , well it's specifically when Ghostface says name the groundbreaking horror remake that spawned and he stops completely as she begins to quick shout out all thee horror remakes. Well did u guys notice Ghostface can be heard unfinished question..he doesn't finish the whole question that he wants her to answer he pauses right away when Kirby shouts interrupting Ghostface on his quiz question about horror remakes. I tell u it makes me cringe cause it looks like a edit or cut scene where he doesn't finish his sentence. And it's so clearly in the final cut of the movie I cnt get over the mistake left in or don't kno how to make sense of it watch that scene again and you'll notice Ghostface bring cutt off from his question to kirby
The time travel quote could also be a reference to Hellraiser 4, as that's set in the future and the past. Also both are number 4 in the franchises
Great video!
When Jill goes to the hospital, it's very reminiscent of the scene in Sunset Boulevard where "I'm ready for my close up," comes from.
In what very well might be a reference to Scream 4, in The Town That Dreaded Sundown remake three years later, the town holds a controversial movie night every year where they watch a movie created about their past serial killer, much like the Stabathon
I'm so pumped for the 5th scream!!! I love the scream franchise. I love the saw franchise even more so I love that they collided in scream 4
Love your videos and breakdowns I automatically like your vids even befor le watching cuz I know it’ll be awesome dude
When the character gets thrown out of the hospital wouldn’t that also be an homage to when that happens to the aunt in the original child’s play
Nah 15:39 had me dead not the dummy🤣 old movies are hilarious fr.
Thank you! Great video, I like it!
Sidneys publicists death always made me think of aunt maghie in child's play
And the nightmare on elm street window can be talked about Freddy vs Jason when he sees loreys father killing the mom
It looks as if they made an effort to remove all references planted on the dead bodies, like how we had the Maureen pictures in Scream 3, but with all the kills in scream 4 having their references to earlier kills in the franchise removed. No being strung up hanging or tied to a chair, or head through the door frame, it seems like what they edited out of the movie and left in the deleted scenes was all those references and the supporting scenes to those references.
Nice setup and good content thanks Zack
Thank you for uploading again!!!!
I own every movie referenced.
I can’t wait for Scream 5! I’m hoping they do Wes justice. And I’m calling Judy as one of the killers. And a Stu return, a la Silence of the Lambs.
I mean… radio silence is behind it and ready or not was a big success. So I’d say it’s in good hands.
@@Robertwatkins2355 I actually was not aware of that. I really really liked Ready or Not. So that gives me more hope!
Yeah I also have my eyes on Judy Hicks. She seems mighty suspicious.
But the fact one of the posters says "The killer is on this poster", makes me believe there is possibly only one killer because they used 'killer' as a singular, not plural.
@@kimberleymonroe1157 I could see that. Especially as creepy as she was in Scream 4. And the bullet proof vest bit she pulled reminds me of Roman from 3. I could see her being the jealous type, and Gale being one of the first targets.
you got some more work headed you're way, zack. i wonder what 5CREAM has to reference... 👍
Is it just me or is Scream 4 a dark ass movie? Not like in tone but visually dark.
With the scene of watching Olivia being killed across the window could also reference Disturbia with watching someone get killed while sitting in their house
Yet another awesome video
The Grudge 2 had Karen's(smg in grudge 1) sister as one of the main characters.
I love scream my fav movie
Could be wrong but if I’m not mistaken the step father from Amityville IS the father from the original murders. That’s how it’s blood related
Olivia's death sorta reminds me of Beth's death from Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers; where the leading character witnesses the killer murdering someone
Loved this video
i read a fun fact a few months ago that they included the garage door in 4 because of comments after the first movie that said a garage door wouldn't lift a body up like that lmfao
I'm not the pro but I noticed 2 other possible references...
The writing on the wall at 8:31 makes me think of Urban legends
As well as like another commenter mentioned the start of Rebecca's dead is alot like the garage death in Cursed
A year late, but hiding in the closet scene. I was certain you were gonna reference halloween curse of Michael Myers killing the heroine brother's girlfriend in the window lol 😆
You forgot 1 more reference Dewey's cell phone ringtone yes it played the Beverly Hills cop theme song but this was also a direct nod to Wes Craven's movie with Eddie Murphy called a Vampire in Brooklyn
The scene where Olivia died could also be a reference to phenomena the movie with Jennifer Connelly
Not a reference as it obviously came out after, but the alternate opening with the non-belief turning to realization reminds me of a very similar part in Hell Fest.
Rebecca's boy throws onto the car was also in Art of the Devil 2 (2005's thai horror film) when a girl jumped onto the ambulance in the hospital
Angel of Death could also be a reference to Sleepaway Camp, as that films killer Angela is later called that.
Not to mention the Slayer Song ;)
Gotta just say imo, Scream 4 is easily the best after the original.
Counterpoint being that Freddy DID dual-wield gloves in MK9
I hate it when changes are made to the script “for the better” when they actually would’ve added to the film. I felt like they heavily did that to the Nightmare on Elm Strt Remake (took too many things out) and Scream 4 would’ve been that much better with all the cut content they stripped from it as well! So glad to see some new directors taking a stab at the franchise though. I hope they truly do it justice and don’t cut a bunch of small content real fans would appreciate, or any story lines that would alter the franchise, like Jill surviving or Hicks being a killer.
I thought the confrontation in the parking lot was a reference to the first saw? I could be wrong tho. Great video btw
Not a horror movie reference, but when Jill is hurting herself at the end to make it look like she's fought for her survival she jumps backwards into a glass coffee table. This an EXACT copy of Fight Club where Edward Norton beats himself up in front of his boss :)
Ghostface was probably forgiving when Charlie was tied to the chair because Jill wanted to kill Charlie later
I spotted a reference to the title card of the film. The A in scream is replaced with a 4 just like the V in seven is replaced by a 7 making it Se7en and in this its called Scre4m
love your channel. Please level your camera though. Please.
I really love Scream 4, it gave us some of my personal favourite moments in the franchise like Kirby's trivia phone call, the closet fakeout before Olivia's kill, and the entire scene from Jill's ghostface reveal to explaining her motive and staging her own attack.
The only thing I can't stand is the double fakeout or literally any of the opening scene. Its so fucking stupid like it only tricks us on the first watch and even in the Scream universe how would that trick anyone watching Stab 6 if they already saw Stab 5, wouldn't they know it was the same scene from the previous movie? Its such a small detail but it annoys me every time 😂
Strange, that never bothered me.
A meta-movie series taking the concept into self-parody was perfect in my opinion. I quite enjoy the opening for that reason.
I feel like Rebecca's death was a Child's Play reference to Aunt Maggy's death.
The exorcist in the hospital scene !
