Scream: Legacy

I couldn't believe this was a fan film. I heard it's from some of the same crew that did the Halloween fan film Halloween Night, so I was looking forward to checking this out and I'm glad I did!

This looks nothing like a fan film! Sure, there's a few shaky shots at times and lighting deformities, but it's not enough to ruin the movie for me. I think this crew has a bright future in filmmaking. Props to everyone involved.

Also, I won't give spoilers, but as a Scream fan I LOVED all the easter eggs and mentions throughout. It wasn't in your face, it was subtle enough that it felt real. Major props Zen House studios!

Great try but the actors acting are horrible, such wooden acting.

The sound engineering was terrible.

The one star is for the camera work and for a fun idea but it's a no from me.

For a fan film, this was easily top tier! You can see the amount of love and passion that went into making this.

It has its few flaws but the good vastly outweighs the bad!

A fantastic film! Really well made fan film. Wes Craven would be proud of this. I missed the opportunity to support this project on indiegogo and I will always regret that. Film creates so much suspense, chills and thrills. The love for the material is on the screen for every bit of the runtime, making this a must see for any fan of the franchise or the genre in general.

Scream:Legacy is streaming free on Youtube as of March 25th, with a commentary companion video alongside. The film is available on blu-ray as well, contact the filmmakers via the Scream:Legacy Facebook page for details.

The film, while well-crafted, is not completely without flaws, although they are minor. The cast turns in superb performances for the most part. Although at a few points in the film, the acting seemed a bit stunted or unnatural. This is mostly on the part of the actors playing law enforcement, as their delivery seemed hackneyed at times. This may stem from some of the dialog in the film being awkward or the scene trying to shoehorn in references to the first trilogy, to cement its place in the timeline.

Scream Legacy is a fan film that debuted on Youtube. With fan films they can be a major plus since many are done with passion and love for the material they are based on. In this case the Scream series. Legacy is a alright film. I was not blown away by it but its better than a lot of major horror films I seen. Its about Katie Palmer who is the daughter of Sydney Prescott, being stalked by a new killer in a Ghostface mask. Bodies and blood follow.

Scream Legacy is pretty average. Its not great, its not bad. Its watchable. But for a low budget fan service film, its pretty well done for what it is.
