Scream: Legacy

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.

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!

Die hard Scream fan here and been following the movie for a while. It was worth the wait! Great acting, music, cinematography!

Loved the killer reveal and ties to the original too!

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.

First of all, when I first watched the trailer of that fan made movie I really enjoyed it and I was kinda hyped, because it looked really good and kinda professional. The plot of the movie was very interesting, very mysterious and kinda different than any other scream movie. The storyline was kinda well-written and everything was well-explained, however there were some major plot holes during the movie. I have to admit, the characters weren't very interesting (except, Sidney's daughter), nor well-developed and most of them were kinda annoying. The filming location of the movie was just a small town in America. The actors and actresses did a great job of portraying their characters and their acting was descent. Sadly, the opening scene wasn't really good, because it was kinda boring and not intense, at all. Also, there weren't any intense scenes nor chase scenes. The killcount wasn't really bloody and most kills were done off-screen. The killer/killers reveal (3rd act) was probably the best part of the movie, because it was definitely unpredictable and very enjoyable. Overall, it was a really good fan made movie, full of easter eggs and I would probably recommend it to any other scream fan. Last but not least, I'm definitely looking forward for a sequel...
