It really is a gift to see this for the first time so long after it was made. But nostalgia is also something to cherish. I snuck and watched Scream with my older brother when I was 6, and I’ve loved movies, especially horror, ever since!
Which was itself an homage to one of the prototypical 'slasher genre' films: Psycho. No one thought Janet Leigh would die either because she was marketed as the star of the film.
She was originally going to be Sidney, but scheduling conflicts (I think) lead her to be unable to fulfill that, so she proposed her character die super early!
Fun fact, Gale (the journalist) and Dewey (the dorky cop) got married in real life after they met on this set! If you watch Friends from like Season 3 and up, you can see the credits change from Courtney Cox to Courtney Arquette ❤. They divorced after 14 years of marriage in 2013 but remain really good friends to this day.
Another fun fact. Matthew Lillard and Neve Campbell were dating after they add lipped "I always had a thing for ya!" and "In Your dreams." In fact, in SCREAM 2 he got cameo, because he got to pick up Neve from set. 😏
After Courtney married David Arquette, there's an episode of Friends where in the opening credits every actor has -Arquette added to their last name. I always found that sweet
Drew Barrymore was actually a big name already when that movie came out and she was front and center in the posters and everything, making it seem like she was the main character. It was on purpose to fool the audience. And apparently it was Drew's idea. The producers wanted her to play Sidney, but Drew herself said it would be more interesting if she played Casey.
A few fun facts: First, it was Drew Barrymore's idea that she be the first to die. She said that if she died first, nobody would know what to expect next. 2. The actress who played Tatum was actually able to fit through the cat door and the producers had to staple her shirt to the frame to keep her from falling out. 3. Kenny, the cameraman, used the last of his strength to point Sidney toward the back door of the news van so she could escape. If you watch carefully, he points toward the back of the van and says "the door" seconds before he dies..... I hope to see you react to the sequels!
The reporter character who asks Sidney how it felt to almost be “brutally butchered” was played by none other than Linda Blair - little possessed Regan from The Exorcist
The element I noticed no one ever catches is when Stu and Randy are talking in the video store. Behind them is a promotional poster for the film 'Mother's Boys' starring Jamie Lee Curtis, who also starred in 'Halloween' which plays within the film and was an obvious influence. The plot of that film is of a woman who "abandons" her husband and three sons then attempts to get him back from his new girlfriend and convinces her eldest son that the girlfriend is the thing standing in the way of their family reuniting. It doesn't really make for a motive for Billy until you know his connection to Sid's mother but once you do it's a clever little in-joke to the audience on repeated views which goes perfect with the meta vibes of the whole thing.
Fun fact: Randy is played by Jamie Kennedy-it’s a fun little joke to have him tell Jamie Lee Curtis to look behind her when Ghostface is behind him @ 49:46
The janitor in the hallway is a callback to Freddy Krueger.. because this movie is by the same director as Nightmare on Elm Street.. Wes Craven. That is Wes himself, playing the janitor!
You definitely should watch the entire franchise. This is actually the one horror franchise that never goes off the rail. Every single installment is good. If you liked the whodunnit aspect of it, the second one will grip you even harder than this one!
No matter how many times I've seen a movie, it is always incredibly enjoyable to watch with y'all. I've been really sick with pneumonia, and this video made my week 🥺
Drew WAS the '90s. Also secretly a producer for Scary Movie/Scream (original title) who got Craven involved and suggested she should play the opening instead of the lead because then people would think anything can happen.
"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened." 😂😂😂 You know, even if it wouldn't be a first time reaction, I'd totally be down for a Harry Potter series reaction from you guys.
@@JackDanReact Please take the real world harm JKR has brought into this world with her transphobia and holocaust denial into consideration and reconsider doing a Harry Potter reaction. She has said that she considers everyone who engages with her story as a supporter of her beliefs and the money she gets goes directly into money she donates to awful political causes. I don't think this is something you guys would want to support.
It's changed now, but way back when (in the UK) we never had school lockers...they weren't a thing. We had to carry everything around with us all day long. The only thing I ever saw in the corridors at my school were chairs (for the 'bad' kids to sit on when they got chucked out of class for their behaviour).
It’s funny, because I’ve always seen the principal being nice to Sidney as him just being a little extra caring and concerned for her because of the situation with her mom which had only happened a year before. We as the audience don’t know that yet, so we’re meant to find it a little sus, but after many watch-throughs it’s really just him trying to be sympathetic, because he already knows of her trauma.
I've noticed that every single reactor to this movie mentions how "creepy" it is that he touches her chin and they're all so weirded out by it that they immediately suspect him, but I (and I think other viewers of the time) never saw it as anything other than a caring gesture.
Scream came out at a time when teen slashers were considered a played-out cliche, they just weren't a thing anymore. This film found a way to make that audience cynicism work in its favor by making the film itself a bit of a tongue-in-cheek satire and ended up totally reinvigorating the genre, inspiring a whole new wave of slasher films and franchises, some still going strong today. Also at the time Drew Barrymore was the most famous of the "teen" actors and was featured heavily in the marketing so when she died right at the beginning it came as a total shock.
Great reaction! In relation to the comment about people being inspired by this movie, two teenage boys were convicted of the murder of a classmate in Idaho in 2006. She was part of their friend group. They were trying to recreate the first murder (Drew Barrymore), but the victim’s boyfriend got picked up by his mother before the ambush would take place, probably saving him. Sadly, that left his girlfriend alone in the house. There are several true crime documentaries on UA-cam about the case. The victim’s name was Cassie Jo Stoddart. (Drew’s name in the movie was Casey.) She was supposed to be the first of a spree, but the killers got caught.
I’m so glad I found your channel in the past week lads, binged all your reactions and you’ve quickly become my favourite reaction channel, keep up the good work 😀
They used anamorphic lenses that look like animal/cat eyes that gets stretched out to widescreen in post. Zoomed all out it gives a pretty trippy fisheye effect. Invented to bring more people to cinemas in the '50s for 'Cinemascope!' They make the image look more cinematic, fantastic and captures sweet lens flares. Smart choice for a reality based slasher like Scream that is ironically also ABOUT movies, so we're watching it through the movieminded killer's view of reality. The other option is spherical lenses, which gives a more intimate, drama suited non-flashy image.
Watching this back and it's a mad cast when you think about it! Paige from Charmed Shaggy from Scooby Doo Monica from Friends Little girl from E.T. Reagan from The Exorcist The Fonz from Happy Days Sabertooth from Wolverine
this was one of the best detective-ing first watches ever, you two were razor sharp... but id expect no less from an Agatha Christie reader 😂😂😂😂 i hope you continue the series, 2 and 3 are dece but 4 and after becomes a REAL rollercoaster in my opinion 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Billy telling Sidney to get over her mom being murdered is what sealed the deal for me. I was convinced that if he wasn't the killer, he was in on it somehow. The ridiculous lack of compassion for something like that. "Get over your mom being slaughtered because it's been 364 days." Wowww.
It’s my only day off for the week, raining alll day, currently just woke up and plan on spending the day in bed. Cheers lads for this one! Perfect timing, have a lovely week bois and girls
It's always fun to try and guess who the killer/s are. Wish I could watch this franchise for the first time all over again. Can't wait for y'all's reaction to scream 2.
Gah i now feel old, you guys didnt know that the head teacher was the Fonz!!!!!! You need to investigate the world of horror comedy! Ready or Not, Abigail, Happy Death Day, Zombieland, Tucker and Dale versus Evil, maybe some uk ones - sean of the dead and the rest of cornetto trilogy,.....thoughts?
One fun detail I noticed on one of my recent Scream rewatches is that the three main survivors each broke one of the three rules. I’ve rewatched these movies so many times and I still notice new details every time.
Fun fact: Tatum in filming her scene in the garage, she actually improvised and in the original takes she did actually fit through the pet door but then they changex to her getting stuck and dying
A few fun facts: 1. Kevin Williamson, the scriptwriter, confirmed that Stu was the one who killed Casey in the opening. 2. When Stu brings him out to Sidney, Neil Prescott is wearing the same clothes he was wearing early in the film. This means that Billy only talked to Sidney to distract her from Stu kidnapping her father. He even plays music so Sidney won’t hear the struggle.
100% sure someone has already said it but I'm going to say it anyway: Rose McGowan fit through that pet door. They had a staple her ass in to make sure it looks like she couldn't. So, if that was real life, it wasn't a stupid decision and you [kind of] owe that character an apology. 😂
I love that you noticed how odd both Stu and Billy were in that scene with Randy in the video store. A lot of people don’t notice the vibe between Stu and Billy in that moment and not they were fucking with him
Drew was a big name since she was a child. Rose actually could slide straight through the cat door. They stapled her shirt to the door to make it look like she couldn't.
Hey guys the first Scream premiered in December meaning you can watch them all year round😊. I hope you watch all the Screams. Yes, Skeet Ulrich "Billy" looks like a young Johnny Depp. Wes Craven cast him on purpose as an homage to Johnny's first movie - A Nightmare On Elm Street directed by Wes Craven as well. You guys are so funny and it was awesome to see you guess right!
Nah, we want the murder club! LOL!!! XD Scream is my favorite horror film series! They are the most consistent horror series of all time. Keep watching them all! Scream 7 is planned to come out next year!
0:19 Daniel. You simply cannot. The actual audacity of you to wear the cut off grey sweatpant shorts and then use this tone of voice and gently rub the chair arm. It’s actually SO rude. Jack, punish him. On video, and dm it to me. 😉
You guys definently need to react to scream 2 alot of people consider it to be the best in the franchise, id like if you did all of them but i get thats alot.
Y'all were laughing at Tatum from trying to escape through the cat flap, but the actress actually COULD fit through it and they had to staple her shirt to it or something to make it look like she was stuck lol
The great thing about Scream was it was so self aware, in that it even though it is a serious subject it constantly refers to old Horror films tropes, and makes reference to the plot of them etc. It also spawned superb sequels, each on of them is great too and well worth a watch. You gotta do the sequels, the writing is just so clever. Wes Craven killing off the most famous person in the film in the first few minutes. An incredible amount of such famous female actors in all the Scream films just too many to mention. It's a who's who of future Hollywood talent. Everyone gets the Freddy Kruger reference with the janitor outside the Principal's office ( or should I say The Fonz ), but not many seems to notice the cameo by Linda Blair, yes her of one of the most famous horror films ever in The Exorcist, as the obnoxious reporter in a brief cameo role early in this film. Great work by Wes Craven to drop her randomly in like that.
Scream is one of my favorite horror franchises. I love the humor and subversion of trope. Also, I appreciate that the villains are just two teenage guys and react accordingly. Ghostface isn’t some unstoppable force, he can be affected by fighting back.
Drew berrymore has been a big name since she was in poltergeist as a child. This was actually Drew's idea to promote her as the main character and final girl with her face on all of the posters etc. And then kill her off in the first scene. She was actually supposed to be Sydney's character but opted not to when they came up with the plan
Clicked on the video to watch it, but I promised my sister that we would watch scream together so I will come back and rewatch this after I watch scream
This was really fun. You guys made me laugh. You were the perfect audience, guessing someone might be the killer right before they get killed. The movie is very well done for that. We all have our favourites and you'll get different rankings from everyone, so i hope you do get a chance to continue and enjoy this wild ride. Wes Craven directs part 1-4, and then sadly died but the directors of part 5 and 6 do a great job of keeping the same tone. Enjoy!
People have probably commented about this already, but the fact that Drew Barrymore's character was killed off at the beginning was a shocking twist when this movie was released in 1996. Drew was already a well-known name back then, and she was displayed at the front of the character line-up on this film's promo movie posters, leading people to believe that she was going to be the main protagonist throughout the entire story (just as you two thought at the beginning). I think I remember reading somewhere that the writers of the film killed her off from the get-go as a way to tell viewers that this movie was going to be unpredictable and break the rules of the horror tropes that had been established up until that time. And that's what the SCREAM films aim to do (some more successfully than others)
Jack, seeing you confidently call it out right at the gate only to second-guess yourself moments later was the most entertaining start to my day in ages!
not being spoiled on this is such a gift!! hope yall loved it
It was so good, I really wanna work through the rest of the franchise 😅
It really is a gift to see this for the first time so long after it was made. But nostalgia is also something to cherish. I snuck and watched Scream with my older brother when I was 6, and I’ve loved movies, especially horror, ever since!
@@JackDanReact you really should, i’ve never seen the reboot ones but i’ve heard great things about
@@JackDanReactyou won't be disappointed!
I was wondering if you would react to scream ! I look forward to seeing you react to the others ❤👍
"He sounds charming" - Jack laying on the ground giggling and kicking his feet when Ghostface calls🤣.
Jack “next male introduced is the killer “ well played mate.😂 loved the reaction per usual!
Insane take 😂 he was spot on lol
What were the bloody chances mate!? 😂
Her being a big name was the point, nobody thought she'd die
They also marketed her in the middle of the poster
Drew actually wanted this part bc her character dies
Which was itself an homage to one of the prototypical 'slasher genre' films: Psycho. No one thought Janet Leigh would die either because she was marketed as the star of the film.
She was originally going to be Sidney, but scheduling conflicts (I think) lead her to be unable to fulfill that, so she proposed her character die super early!
Fun fact, Gale (the journalist) and Dewey (the dorky cop) got married in real life after they met on this set! If you watch Friends from like Season 3 and up, you can see the credits change from Courtney Cox to Courtney Arquette ❤.
They divorced after 14 years of marriage in 2013 but remain really good friends to this day.
Their divorce felt like my parents were breaking up 😢 I’m happy they’ve remained “together” (as friends) even if they’re not a couple anymore
Another fun fact. Matthew Lillard and Neve Campbell were dating after they add lipped "I always had a thing for ya!" and "In Your dreams."
In fact, in SCREAM 2 he got cameo, because he got to pick up Neve from set. 😏
After Courtney married David Arquette, there's an episode of Friends where in the opening credits every actor has -Arquette added to their last name. I always found that sweet
@ ha! That’s hilarious and truly supportive and sweet. Missed that one.
David Arquette took the role of Dewy specifically because he would get to kiss Monica from friends lol

It was on purpose to fool the audience. And apparently it was Drew's idea. The producers wanted her to play Sidney, but Drew herself said it would be more interesting if she played Casey.

@@dawb86 I’ve legit never heard that one! I love films that you can keep learning about― even after seeing them dozens of times!!
I could not get over Jack's utter befuddlement at Billy telling Sidney she hasn't been the same since her mom died, and that she should get over it.
you speculating about every male character being a killer honestly made this reaction for me🤣
I mean, women do this almost daily tbh
Fun fact: Randy is played by Jamie Kennedy-it’s a fun little joke to have him tell Jamie Lee Curtis to look behind her when Ghostface is behind him @ 49:46
"Behind you, Jamie!" could not get any more meta.
I would GLADLY sit betwixt the boys
I laughed when Jack said, it's the next guy on the screen, and you were right!!! Cool 😎
How lucky was that call? 😂 time to head out and buy some lottery tickets
11:47 “I’ll stand by what i said” as you should my guy well done 😂
The janitor in the hallway is a callback to Freddy Krueger.. because this movie is by the same director as Nightmare on Elm Street.. Wes Craven. That is Wes himself, playing the janitor!
Fun fact: The reporter who shouts 'they have a right to know!' at 26.23 is Linda Blair, who played Regan, the little girl, in The Exorcist.
Dan's "Betwixt the boys" has more serial killer vibes each time he says it😩🤣
No way, the guessing who the killer is is definitely the best part. It’s why I love the Scream movies
I don't think I've ever heard anyone suspect Dewey so hard 😂😂😂
You definitely should watch the entire franchise. This is actually the one horror franchise that never goes off the rail. Every single installment is good. If you liked the whodunnit aspect of it, the second one will grip you even harder than this one!

“It’ll be the next male character we’re introduced to.” 😮
A Wes Craven that always stuck with me was The People Under the Stairs. The social commentary is on point.
"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened." 😂😂😂
You know, even if it wouldn't be a first time reaction, I'd totally be down for a Harry Potter series reaction from you guys.
Agreed!
We've seen it so many times, but if you think a non-first time reaction is okay then you don't need to tell me twice! I bloody love those movies 😂

“Look at all the lockers in the hallway”
What else is supposed to be in the school hallway lol?
It's changed now, but way back when (in the UK) we never had school lockers...they weren't a thing. We had to carry everything around with us all day long. The only thing I ever saw in the corridors at my school were chairs (for the 'bad' kids to sit on when they got chucked out of class for their behaviour).
I love the unawareness that the killer(s) use a voice changer on the phone.
Holy shit yes! One of the best horror franchises. I really hope you boys carry this one on all the way through

One fun detail I noticed on one of my recent Scream rewatches is that the three main survivors each broke one of the three rules. I’ve rewatched these movies so many times and I still notice new details every time.
Not Jack calling one of the killers within the first 5 minutes. Lol.
Jack calling it like that so early was so funny 😆
Fun fact: Tatum in filming her scene in the garage, she actually improvised and in the original takes she did actually fit through the pet door but then they changex to her getting stuck and dying
🤣 The music foreshadowing her opening the closet during the day, then later that’s where the killer is hiding that night.
omg PLEASE do the whole franchise!

Absolutely hilarious you spared time to worry about how annoying it is that the popcorn caught fire 😂
Dan: We should start a murder club.

Scream is fun.
Aside from the death it was loads of fun! 😅

I love this franchise, excited to see you work your way through it!
the way i laughed after ‘the next male introduced-‘ 🤣🤣🤣
Cackled at “maybe he needs a partner,” knowing they had no idea
Y'all were laughing at Tatum from trying to escape through the cat flap, but the actress actually COULD fit through it and they had to staple her shirt to it or something to make it look like she was stuck lol

This was really fun. You guys made me laugh. You were the perfect audience, guessing someone might be the killer right before they get killed. The movie is very well done for that.
We all have our favourites and you'll get different rankings from everyone, so i hope you do get a chance to continue and enjoy this wild ride. Wes Craven directs part 1-4, and then sadly died but the directors of part 5 and 6 do a great job of keeping the same tone.
Enjoy!
When Jack said it's the next male to be introduced I was like "OH SHIT" cause you basically called it
People have probably commented about this already, but the fact that Drew Barrymore's character was killed off at the beginning was a shocking twist when this movie was released in 1996. Drew was already a well-known name back then, and she was displayed at the front of the character line-up on this film's promo movie posters, leading people to believe that she was going to be the main protagonist throughout the entire story (just as you two thought at the beginning).
I think I remember reading somewhere that the writers of the film killed her off from the get-go as a way to tell viewers that this movie was going to be unpredictable and break the rules of the horror tropes that had been established up until that time. And that's what the SCREAM films aim to do (some more successfully than others)
5:03 DAN!!!!!! 🫠
Jack, seeing you confidently call it out right at the gate only to second-guess yourself moments later was the most entertaining start to my day in ages!
Don't care much for the movie but I'm here to support you guys like a jockstrap. 😂🎉🎉
Doesn't get much more supportive than that haha! 😂 Really appreciate that mate! 😊
The guessing who did it is the best part, this was great! Can't believe you guys werent already spoiled on the Drew Barrymore thing, so good
Drew Barrymore did a ton of movies: E.T, Cat's Eye, Irreconcilable Differences, 50 First Dates, Donnie Darko, Firestarter
Please react to Tucker and Dale vs Evil, Happy Death Day, From Dusk Till Dawn, Black Phone, and/or Sick. 💜💜
Fun Fact: Wes Craven also created Nightmare on Elm Street in the 80s.
Neve Campbell/Sydney, doesn't like watching scary movies lol
I have a Ghostface lockscreen, wallet and phone case, so it's safe to say, I love these films.
I would say it's safe to say that you are a fan 👀 which movie is your favourite though?
@JackDanReact I really love the original, but 3 is a fun one and I also love 4 🤣❤️
I can't believe you missed Linda Blair.
Anyone born after 1990 apparently has face blindness.
Are there not lockers in the hallways at your schools? Love your reactions!
15:04 Oh, don't tease Jack, Dan. 🤭
From what I read the actress could easily fit through that cat door in the garage and had to pretend she couldn’t 😂
In reality she would have escaped.
54:15 the way i just burst out laughing
