If “Still Screaming” proves
anything about the makers of the “Scream” film series, it’s that they make a
more compelling horror movie than they do documentary subjects. Late film
critic Gene Siskel used to say that a good test of the quality of a movie was
imagining whether a documentary of the same actors eating lunch would be more
entertaining. They mostly just talk about how great their movies were here, but
I’d rather be watching those movies than this one.
“Sill Screaming”, which
boasts the misleading subtitle “The Ultimate Scary Movie Retrospective”, sadly
plays just like a DVD extra documentary commissioned by the studio to make
their product out to be the greatest horror franchise ever conceived. I liked
the “Scream” movies, but they aren’t the greatest anything. I suppose the
subtitle isn’t entirely incorrect, as the original title of “Scream” was “Scary
Movie” and this certainly is a retrospective of the “Scream” films. I had hopes
that since “Still Screaming” was billed as a feature documentary that it would
dig a little deeper than a promotional film. Alas, it does not.
If you are one of those people, you can watch the entire documentary below.
