Paramount has widely released a UHD SteelBook packaging variant for the classic 1996 Horror film 'Scream.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Paramount's slick and smooth and very black SteelBook will most assuredly hold and show every single handling fingerprint. The SteelBook is
nevertheless classy and speaks to the movie's style, albeit focused primarily on the famous opening sequence The front panel reveals the readily
identifiable knife, blade tip at the bottom. It is centered and vertically aligned. Faintly on the left is the film's title, also running vertically top to bottom,
with "A Wes Craven Film" text also printed vertically above. On the rear panel are the words "Do you like scary movies?" scrawled center in a blending
dark gray color. The telephone seen at the film's open is lying on the floor, again very gray and blended. Small studio logos flank the bottom corners
and legalese appears bottom center. The spine is glossy black with the film's title in the same dark gray letters, center. A Paramount logo apepars at the
top. An UltraHD logo and "Miramax" appear at the bottom.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in
staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features Drew Barrymore's Casey Becker, firmly on the left, screaming while on
the phone during the film's opening sequence. The right panel is essentially blank.

This is a great SteelBook. It's subtle, simple, and perfectly aligned with the movie. Well done. Highly recommended.
