We here at "Scream Louder" are all breathing a heavy sigh of relief! It seems
that all the hard work we've gone through to get this movie to all of you
has paid off. The reviews you've sent in are overwhelmingly supportive and
positive! The bottom line is: You guys REALLY like "Scream Louder!" Here are just a handful of the reviews we have gotten:
First of all, I have been going out of my mind waiting for my tape to arrive.
The day finally arrived. I got the mail today and ran the whole 3/4 mile back
to my house and jammed the tape in. I have been frequenting as many Scream
sites as I can lately, so I've read your other public reviews. I agree that
the opening scene was pretty lame, but the rest was sooo good! I was kind of
upset when you killed yourself off, Robert... I thought you did great as Randy!
Kelli was definitely my favorite! She did awesome... I was screaming at her
through almost the whole movie! You definitely got the horror aspect down...
A BIG question I have is... HOW THE HECK WERE YOU ALLOWED TO FILM
IN A VIDEO STORE??? AND GET IT BLOODY NONETHELESS!?
But, anyway... you guys did ann awesome job. I'm going to have a SCREAM LOUDER
party and invite a bunch of people over to watch your movie. My friends
and I are going to make our own Scream sequel, but I doubt it'll be 1/2 as
good as yours. The ssets and locations were great... I hope that if your
goal with this movie was to get into a good film school that they break down
your door to get you.
This wasn't really a review, but I'll be putting one up on my homepage..
I may even startt my own SCREAM LOUDER page...
Once again... GREAT JOB! (and tell Kelli she's very awesome and very
attractive)

I got your movie, and I must say. Two thumbs up. 4 star rating. I loved it. There were a few parts that were eh, but all in all it was a great movie. I don't care what anybody else says, I liked it. I think it was worth the money. It had me fooled, i thought it was someone, then it was someone else. Well, thanks for making it. I enjoyed it very much. And, don't get me wrong, I didn't like it cuz it was funny as in HA HA like the person who you gave the free copy to. I liked it because it had a ok story, I'm a huge scream fan, and it had good characters. It was great. I will watch it alot, and yes, this will hold me over til scream 2, it'll even hold me over longer. Well, good movie, talk to you later, Bye!

Dear future director,
I was thrilled to see that someone not only had enough will to sit down
and script a sequel to Scream, they also filmed it, edited it and marketed it
over the internet. Wow, that's very respectable! You've certainly got what it
takes as far as marketing is concerned. I wanted to give you some pointers and
praise and I hope you'll read this entire message, even if it is really long
(I'm formulating it as a list to make it easier to read).
I am an 18 year old aspiring director who has already made several
movies myself. I have a website too, but I won't bother you and ask you to
visit it because I know you have lots to do as it is! Eventually, I will be
marketing a movie in the same fashion you did Scream Louder, and when I do,
will e-mail you with info in case you'd like to support me the way I did you.
It's the support we all give each other that will give us the strength to push
ahead to bigger and better things!
First off, I ordered Scream Louder knowing full well it would be an
amateur movie and not the actual sequel. I ordered for three reasons: 1) I was
curious 2) I wanted to support a fellow filmmaker and 3) I thought that I might
get a chance to see a real cool movie. My Mom insisted that it was a scam and
told me not to be surprised when I never got the video. Well, she was wrong!
What I got fit my expectations and exceeded them as well! The rather
unfavorable review on "It's a scream, baby" lowered my expectations so I
expected the movie to be a whole lot worse than it actually was. I am not
saying the movie was bad. By no means was it bad. In fact, it was quite good.
You are right in saying that for an amateur movie it kicks ass, because it
definitely does!
So what if it's not shot in actual film and the bars on the top and
bottom were only added in post production to crop off the top and bottom of the
screen. So what if the camera is a little wobbly. It doesn't matter. You get
an A+ for effort! This movie is actually better than some movies I've seen in
the theater! I heartily reccomend spending the $10. It is well worth it.
You've accomplished something very few amateur filmmakers have:
completed a full-lenght motion picture that is actually longer (and better)
than some movies in theaters. Good job guys. Pat your selves on the back and
go out and celebrate. You deserve it.

Scream Louder was excellent for an amateur sequel. It had action, sadness,
and madness. Scream Louder had its high points and its low points. The
actors weren't that great except for Gale Weathers. The rest of the actors
didn't show any expression. They just talked like I am talking to you. But
Gale Weathers was all the oppisite of that. Another thing was when pepople
die, all they showed was the knife and how it was all bloody. Some good
things about it were that it was funny, never got boring, and the sets where
they filmed were good. Scream Louder is: 2 hours and 7 minutes long. It is
only $10 dollars and well worth the $10 dollars. So if you are looking for a
good laugh or just want to see someone get killed. Send in your 10 dollars
and recieve your Scream Louder.
DEWEY BOY
I applaud you! Not only did this movie keep me hooked because of the fact it's
funny and entertaining, it actually had a plot. Most amateur movies I've seen
(or created myself) do not have plots. As the opening scene unravels, I
couldn't turn my head away from the television even though the phone was
ringnig. I was hooked. It reminded me so much of the original with the way it
was filmed and done, that I immediately told myself I'm going to start my
directing career this summer. You filmed it with excellent camera angles and
techniques, I thought that it could have been a professional movie production.
There are cheezy parts, but what can you expect from an amateur film? All in
all, the beginning was well done. It was rather dark and the film was grainy
(probably because of the copying and the fact that home video cameras cannot
film well in dark areas), but it didn't really keep you from not watching.
Good show with the beginning...Frightfully funny and fearful!
I'm very surprised you took the time to do so many different camera angles,
blocked off a video store so no one would come in, got permission from the UNF
police, filmed in a hotel, filmed in a movie theater, filmed at a real TV
station, and basically made it look as professional as you could. The actors
were quite good in their rolls, especially Gale Weather's (Kelli Welborn)
character and Heather Myers (Brianne Beidelman). They
portrayed their characters true to form and made the movie what it was. You
gave a lot of lines to Gale which she memorized quite well and acted better
than amateur. Not to jump around, but I really
enjoyed the ending. In fact, that should have been in the original - all the
fighting, cussing, and weird twists and turns. You actually pulled off the
murders well too. I'm glad you made a cameo appearance because you did Randy's
roll justice. I think the video store scene is my favorite where everyone is
murdered. It had good camera work and a good script with funny lines here and
there. Oh, by the way, how the hell did you get into a girls bathroom? I wanna
know so I can. ;-) Just kidding. I'm very impressed with how this movie came
out. Really, I am. I was really impressed with this film and plan to show it to a few people here
at JU and a teacher, and then at home. It may not be the greatest film ever to
walk this amateur field, but you did do something that most people probably
couldn't do. I say to those who think it's "stupid, dumb, etc:" "Once you can
do something like this and do it better, then you can fully criticize it and
say it sucks." I, as a fellow director -to-be, say that it was a hair-raising
experience that I'll cherish for a long time to come, that included great work
for a bunch of people just "wanting to have fun." I'm looking foward to any
other films you plan to make and hope I might be able to contribute in some
way.
Again, THANX!
And tell the cast, I had a "screaming" good time!

Hi, I just received my copy of Scream Louder today. It was awesome!
Even the box that it came with was awesome. This movie was VERY
professional looking. I really liked the different kinds of camera
angles that were used. The music fit the scenes perfectly, and a lot of
you gave excellent performances. I really liked this movie alot, and I'm
glad that the "It's a Scream Baby" web site changed its review to a more
positive one. This movie wasn't worth 10 bucks. It was worth 25! Or even
more! Congratulations on a movie well done! I can't wait till I watch it
again!
Steve Kale
You were right. I got the tape yesterday, and it was well worth the
wait. it was GREAT!!! Thank you!! The part in the video store was
just hilarious!(i.e.: when CHRIS is dying and RANDY and the other girl
just stand there without looking behind them.) It was a great movie,
even if it was ameteur. I still liked it!
You did a fine job, a fine job!!!!!
Good Luck on any future ventures.
Shad Scott
WOW!!!! I just finished watching your movie "Scream Louder" for the
fourth time. I am so amazed of how you have grown from your previous work. I
enjoyed it so much I thought I was watching a theatrical picture. The Wide
Screen format was excellent, I wish I can add that to my films. The sequel
gave justice to the original film, the music and acting where excellent.
I love the dialogue....
"You Bitch" "You Stupid Bithch"
I was laughing the whole time... :)
I am also amazed of your settings for the film, like for example (the video store,
AMC Cinema) You are so lucky to use such wonderful sets.
That was a cool scene where the first guys dies in the video store and you and that one chick
toss skettles in your mouth..then you find the bodies in the Drop Box and a
tag "YOUR FUCKED" HAAHAHAHA Funny stuff man!!!
Brianne Once agian gave a wonderful performance.
Everyone one on the film should take a bow for their hard ass work on the
film. I can tell Robert that you put your hard work on high gear and it shows
on the screen. Your picture is probably as good as the sequel coming out this
December. I am proud of my fellow Film-Friend.
I have a question, When I saw the trailer on the internet you had your friend
from Batman Retires (MAD HATTER) hold some tapes up and say, "What do you want
to see??" hold up two video cassettes and another blonde girl that was not
featured in the final cut. Don't tell me they didn't make the cut? you
should have a director's cut...that would be cool to see.
I am going to show Taylor Burke your movie today and I will tell her to email
you a review on your film.
Robert, if you have anyother stuff I have not seen before please send it to me
I am always interested in seeing anything you have worked on.
I am currently working for a full Video Feature....probably 2hr movie of
"She Dances Forever" The last installment to the "She Dances Still..."
Trilogy. It is going to be my best Film EVER!!!
Talk to you soon...and Keep in touch!!!
Hey you when one of us makes it big in Hollywood CA or FL I hope we get to
work together...we would make one awesome film.
Jesus D. Heredia
I got the movie. It's cool. When does the behind the scenes come out, oh
one last thing, Randy was portrayed really well. So was Cotton. He was
cool.

I received my copy of "Scream Louder" on Friday, November 14th and I have
watched it 2 times. I think that for an amateur film it was quite
exceptional. The plot was amazing and could actually pass as the plot
for the real sequel to Scream. I am a huge fan of the movie "Scream" and
horror films in general and I couldn't be happier at their renewed
popularity. Again, for an amateur film, your production was superb. If
one can watch this film keeping in mind that it is an amateur film I
think that it can be as enjoyable and suspenseful as the original Scream.
Sure, the acting may be a little cheesey in parts, but hey, I sure as
hell couldn't have done any better myself. I will have to give Kelli
Welborn credit, she portrayed Gail Weathers very effectively and her
acting skills are impressive. I was also very impressed with the girl
who played Tonya, the video store clerk, and also that of Alicia Leigh
Walker. I just really want to take the time to commend you for your
efforts and all the obvious hard work you put into this production, I was
truly shocked at the effort put into this film. I will give this
delightful film **** out of **** and am very proud to have it rest on the
movie shelf right along side of Wes Cravens "Scream". Also, since there
is going to be a Scream 3, are there any possibilities of you doing
that?? I would defiantly reserve a copy!!
Thanks for the hard work and great production!!
Troy Escamilla
I received my copies of Scream Louder yesterday, and I just wanted to tell you
that you did a excellent job with it!!! I'll try to do a review for you as
soon as I get the chance to watch it again. I just wanted to drop you a note
to say to tell you how much I liked it!
Thanks for making it available!
By the way, is there any way you could put a few more pictures on your page?
I you need space, I could host some on my page.
Anyway, again, congratulations on a job well done!

i thought the movie was great. it was much better from what i expected after
reading "it's a scream baby"'s review. i what i did was watch the movie
knowing that it was an amatuer film. i liked the story very much are millions
of things i could tell you that i liked but, i'll tell you the few i didn't
liked first:
the lines were good but, "you stupid bitch" was getting old in the end.
when ghostface was walking to gale's building he was wearing black sneakers,
don't you think boots would have been better?
i didn't like how just before someone was going to get killed in the end some
one else shot them
did you do al these to make fun of other horror movies.
my favorite scene of all was the video store death scene.
i can't tell everything i liked about it.
adam
Hello. I believe that I have written to you at least twice before when I
thought I had
sent you a check and I had a few questions about that. As it turns out, I did
send a
money order. My tape came in yesterday. I enjoyed this very much and despite
the fact
that many parts are good for a laugh, it was entertaining and well filmed. I
can see
that you all obviously put a lot of effort into this.
I brough the tape to my friend's house. One of the main things about this
movie that
seemed to have been done very professionally was the usage of scary music from
some
classic horror films.
I was impressed with all of the actors. I was hoping that I might be able to
drop you
guys a line to congratolate you on your work with specific details, knowing
who you are.
You are one of the actors aren't you? If not, could you provide me with the e-
mail
addresses of any actors and actresses possible in this movie? Thanks for your
time. I
hope to hear from you soon. Take care.
Bobby
Hello, due to your movie that I enjoyed and some of my friends, we have
decided to write and produce our own horror movie. We were inspired by your
movie so we are going to create our own story, then make it. I just thought
I'd tell you. Bye.
~Wish
Well i throughly enjoyed your film. I have also dabbed aroung with
making my own films, not at long as yours, but there are a good laugh. I
know your movie was meant to be serious, and it was in some areas of
the movie, but there were also some quite humerous areas too. In my
opinion you guys, with what you had, and the talent you had, you did
an excellent job, and i can't wait to show your film to a few of my
friends. If you ever make another movie, i would be very interested in
seeing it. I applaud to all of you, you did a splendid job. Thanks again
for letting the world observe your movie. 2 1/2 Stars in my book.
THANK YOU
-Greg Bensch
i recieved my copy of scream louder today, i immediatly put it in the vcr,
watched, i thought it was fabulous. i did not think the acting was as bad as
joseph henson said it was. i thought the women who played gale, sidney,
heather, and lisa slater did marvelous jobs on their preformances. and the men
who played randy, cotton, matt dewey, and of course LT. krawbolski we
absolutly stunning. i mean all of this! i loved how you paid homage to scream,
with some little hidden things having to do with scream like: woodsbor video
being located at craven and williamson, a barely visable copy of scream on the
counter in the video store. there were much more as you know. feel free to put
this on your page so people will know it is no ta fraud! once again i think
you did a wonderful job. and if i am writing to the person who wrote the
script i would personally like to tell him that i think kevin williamson, and
wes craven would love this film! thanks for making it!
SCREAM4646
Hi again....I just watched the movie and I loved it.
You said you weren't in it, that's what you told me....But you were good as
Randy...I thought
the girl who played Sidney was great.
The only thing I didn't like was Dewey......??? But other than that I thought
you did a great job.
I just wanted to let you know that. I can imagine how hard it was to make it.
If you need any help with any of your projects or anything....I have been
filming with my video camera for about 9 years now...I have mastered the art
of No budget films.....You look like your in the same boat.....Anyway.
How old are you? Just curious. I'm 19.
Let me know....
Sincerly,
Shayne Grier
I really enjoyed the film.
Great job guys.
Other than lighting I had no problem with it and it wasn't bad.So good job to
all the cast and crew. For a simple request how about a sequel to I Know What
You Did
Last Summer!!!!!! Well see ya later and write me back if you can.
CARL LOFF
i thought the movie was great. it was much better from what i expected after

my favorite scene of all was the video store death scene.
adam
hey, yea, today i got the tape and i watched it. i was like wow! I was mainly
listening to the soundtrack and just that whole nightmare on elm street hit
and i thought that was way cool. i'm personally working on a script for a
movie (not like it will ever be produced) so i was wondering if you had any
tips or whatever on how to get these things started. thanx. keep it up. great
movie!
