Scream – The Giallo Cut

All I can say is this a near perfect interpretation of an already great film. I'm excited to see more work from you.

Let me say that this edit was AMAZING... The concept was brilliant and it was just a great time watching it... I would go as far as to say this will have a permanent spot in my Fave Five... if there was such a thing as my Fave Five... or if I was to create a Fave Five... I'm rambling but not for nothing this was a fun watch....

The concept itself was really fresh and the fact that he pulled directly from the VHS version was genius.... It made the edit for me... I was sold on that concept alone... but then he throws in the Italian rock and made Scream (which I also find to be a solid horror flick as is) a different beast... The mood of the flick completely changed... not for the better... not for the worst... It became a new take which was on par with the original version for totally different reasons...

My only complaint and it was very minor was that I agree with Rogue on the levels of the music.... It was edited perfectly... I just found it louder then required by a small touch... hense the one score of 9 in the Audio Quality area...

It was a masterful and perfect edit that I can't recommend enough....

I can only hope part 2 is in the works and if a VHS version is required I would be happy to donate to the cause lol...

Boobs and a Sex Scene (music for this made me actually giggle)

Goddammit man. I haven't reached for the tracking knob in 20 years and there I was like freakin Pavlov's dog about to do it again. Well done.

I love edits like this. You can tell Neglify clearly has an appreciation for the source material and this is not just an attempt to make a bad film better, but an attempt to reinterpret an already good movie. Starting points like this make for the best fanedits.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a big horror movie buff, but I am a big fan of intelligently written films and Scream is certainly one of them. Scream bleeds the post-modern self-referential aesthetic of the mid to late 90s and holds up to this day. I haven't watched it in at least 10 years, so this was a great opportunity to do so.

Neglify's edit is a lot of fun. The added score, the overall feel, the additional scenes, everything about this edit worked great. It's an original, creative idea and Neglify clearly has the technical prowess to pull it off.

AV Quality: 10/10
Delightfully abysmal.

Visual Editing: 10/10
My eyes. The goggles do nothing.

Audio Editing: 10/10
I love 70s prog. Music to my ears. Could've been even louder.

Narrative: 10/10
The added back story made the movie even better. Also, boobs.

Enjoyment: 8/10
A great way to tell the story and highly enjoyable but I think it would be much better appreciated by horror movie buffs than someone like myself. Highly recommended for any horror movie fans or even just fans of original, innovative fanedits.

Loved it! Great work, Neg.

Two critiques:
The audio levels were too much for me, luckily I watched it in the day so I didn't bother the neibhours, but it was too loud in scary/action-y scenes. I don't like a lot of dynamic range, but no big deal, didn't spoil it for me, but its something to think about in the future.

*********SPOILER ALERT*********
Not sure if this was even possible, but the photo/news broadcast with photo of Sydney's mother should have (imo) been adjusted to incorporate the image of the woman from the added flashbacks for continuity's sake, they work great but would have been even better with that adjustment.


This one's fun as hell, RECOMENDED!

10/10 despite whatever IFDB rounds it off to. ;)

All and all I have to say this was a great edit from start to finish. Yes as most know I am an HD freak but with that being said the throwback VHS feel was a nice change of pace. The rescore worked amazingly and helped change the tone of this movie drastically. Well done Neg
