This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The original scream was a clever and refreshing spin on a forgotten or passe genre that had been totally left behind by Hollywood and audiences. Its humor and pacing were nearly perfect. Wes Craven's script and direction provided interesting characters that engaged you along with suspense, humor, action, and thrills that all hit the mark. The actors--while not entirely perfect, were all excited about the material and interesting as characters providing memorable performances that last to this day in viewers' minds--especially the baddies and weirdos. The twist in the film rivaled Shyamalan in The 6th Sense.

This film lacks all but a hollow shell of parts of that film while providing nothing to care about for the returning characters who are also hollowed out.

A climactic scene goes from noon to midnight after a 2-minute drive to a hospital that has 0 staff or patients or security system. A wheelchair cripple can barely roll herself one foot forward, but stands beats up a killer at the end of the film. This film tries to be subversive--but not to the establishment that is ruining clever and original films like the original Scream was. Instead, this film seeks to subvert Scream itself by punching down at its own fans and fans of franchises in general. It goes out of its way to attack the very people who support it. It is a parasite.

Anything can be funny, but not when you have wooden and empty characters delivering several agonizingly dull multi-minute expository monologues to make up for the heavy 'messaging' and poor script. Suspense and visuals are everything in horror. The endless exposition seriously destroys this film. Only one or two of the characters are remotely likable. NONE of them have the charisma of Matthew Lillard or Courtney Cox and David Arquette (whose legacies are both tragically mistreated and thrown away here. Scream 5 **SPOILER ALERT** brags about debasing David Arquette INTENTIONALLY identically to Han Solo in The Force Awakens and praises its director. Dewey has somehow become a white alcoholic recluse loser in a trailer who gave up on his big-boss-lady Gale after only 2 months after the previous film. This is revolting, but also completely uncharacteristic of Dewey to be this way. Like all woke films today, he is emasculated and then thrown out with the trash. They kill him off for absolutely no reason, making him a complete idiot in a way that is completely out of character for him. This is when any mild or serious fan will give up on this film. Yet there's probably 30 minutes of film remaining after this.

Dewey is the everyman that is kind-hearted and a throughline that helps you care about any of these characters' stories after multiple films. This film sets up 0 characters that you will care about. Instead, you WANT them all to die throughout the film as they are directed and cast poorly. Finally, in this film, almost NO ONE DIES except white characters. When this fact is considered with all the other criticisms of this film, it is undeniable that the creators of this film placed ESG WOKE scoring high above any artistic merit.

Wes Craven was a master of horror because he understood the value of a good script. He also knew how to organize all the people in Scream in a way that sucked the viewer into the movie, thrilled them, and made them laugh and be moved enough by some fleshed-out and likable characters, despite the nature of the genre of the film. He also punched UPWARD at the establishment, at himself, and at political correctness. This film tried desperately to somehow be politically correct while being a violent uninspired slasher film that has no clever kills. In fact, almost NONE of the young cast gets killed because--surprise surprise--they are all too diverse to be allowed to die, except the white ones. None of this would matter if it was MOCKING woke culture in some way, but it isn't; it is EMBRACING it, and it lets you know this over and over again as it beats you over the heads with terrible meta-meta-meta dialogue attacking its fans and everything good about the original film.

Also, Billy Loomis is somehow brought back in generic scenes that were probably filmed in his bathroom basement on a cell phone with a scary de-aging face applied to them. The people making this film knew they needed the original cast, but didn't want to utilize them properly or 'pass the torch.'

Scream gave Neve's Sidney a clear relatable heroic journey. It was already pro-female back in the 90s (many films were) and everyone loved it because it placed all of its artistic storytelling elements above any politics the director may have been trying to convey. It was just a great film that men and women both loved that empowered women as it empowered anyone who loves a good hero's journey. Scream 5 on the other hand is a bad film all around that tries to manufacture 'stakes' by killing the one character that still gave these films any heart.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into the movies having high hopes that it would surpass the previous movies and I was fairly disappointed in the fact that this movie was very similar to the first movie. The movie tried to bring back memories of characters from the first movie and connect them to characters in this movie and it didn’t work and had me asking more questions then receiving answers. It was obvious in the first act who the killers were, I was disappointed in that aspect because I wanted to be able to keep guessing and figuring out who the killer was but I instantly knew from the first 20 minutes of the movie and that was disappointing. The ghost face killers We’re very random to me and didn’t really have a valid reason for the killings other then to recreate something that the fandom wanted done right which is a very poor part of the plot due to the fact that this has been done in the last movies.The main character didn’t have as much of an impact as I would expected . I was hoping that the new group of teens would be the ones that would stop the ghost face killers but in almost every scene each of the teens were killed off not giving us any character development ,it only gave us teens who had almost no personality just in the movie to kill off moments later .The main character Sam… Expand

I didn't like the plot. It was boring. I was struggling to make it through the movie until the last 15 minutes, which was the most interesting part of the film. The best part of the movie was the bringing back of some of the original cast members.

Though I appreciate the “love letter” attempt to the original and its master, part 5 falls completely flat by taking away some of the spices that once made this franchise memorable: unpredictable killers, chasing scenes, good jump scares and an awesome plot twist. I am still perplex how in your face this movie is and I can’t believe they decided to stab the plot twist element. And as mentioned above, this felt like a “sitcom studio” production all the time. Now let’s talk about the good: the characters were likable, the comedy worked well, it was a bit gory and the original cast still delivers (they were not great but they were not cringe either). Definitely the weakest entry (and I did not even love Part 2 that much). It was a “Scream” film without a screaming audience. My theater was dead. I hope they don’t make more. #RIPWES you were THE guy.… Expand

This new installment has a disappointingly dated feel to it, that even Scream 4's mostly unsuccessful attempts to introduce the franchise to the social media generation seem way more appealing. The whole 'requel' rules breakdown is just not enough to bring the film to life. Also, surprisingly enough for a movie that's so heavy-handed in terms of self-reference and meta-commentary, the killings themselves, even though gory, are the franchise's less inventive and believable, while at the same time the victims showcase the exact horror-film-like questionable behavior that the Scream movies have pointed out and made fun of throughout the years -so ultimately, this is a big turn-off for serious fans.

Then they leave straight away to protect her sister at the hospital and it changes from day to night straight away. - why was there no one in the hospital when they where attacked by the killer -how could a tiny girl that is depicted as a 6ft4 strong male over power the male sherif after being shot 3 times. -why did the same girl not have any bullet wounds after being shot I could keep going with all the other mistakes but this give you a good idea… Expand

Scream had many awful sequels and I feel people overrated this one because while it certainly avoids a lot of the flaws the other films had, It doesn't mean it's any good nor without faults of its own.

The characters are shallow and forgettable. The absence of the original trio and how little screentime they get is disappointing. The plot is simple, predictable, and downright boring. There is no suspense at all, It is full of characters making irrational decisions (Dewey in that hospital scene...), and this one definitely features the worst acting of the series. It was so bad that I was suffering secondhand embarrassment with how cringe it was. Largely pointing out Melissa Barrera as Sam, She was just insufferable and so painfully wooden throughout. It was rough to watch.

Honestly, I freaking hated this one. It is nowhere near as good as people made it out to be at all.… Expand

It worked so well theWell Ghostface had a look at Michael Myers crawling back from the grave and said “I’m having a piece of that.” Yes that’s right Scream is back and thankfully following a step by step formula of the original classic. It worked so well the first time why not bring it back to basics. Scream 5 is so clearly made by true fans of the Scream franchise that it’s actually hard not to enjoy it. I went in with very low expectations, I thought I’d end up seeing another failed sequel like Halloween Kills but in fact Scream 5 is everything you need in a slasher film while staying as faithful as possible to the original.

The town of Woodsboro is living in peace after the series of murders that occurred twenty-five years ago. Now a brand new Ghostface has shown up to murder more annoying teenagers. If you don’t know who at least one of the killers is within the first ten minutes then you haven’t been paying attention and if you don’t realise there are two killers then you’re definitely in the wrong franchise. Scream is not afraid to make fun of its own movies and horror movie tropes in general. It also takes plenty of time to remind the audience of what will get you killed in a horror movie along with a running commentary on horror movies made over the last twenty years. It’s a perfect mix of comedy, horror and nostalgia. We all know nostalgia sells and is very successful at getting people back into cinemas, and getting the original cast back was the right idea and has paid off.

I wouldn’t say it’s as scary as it could have been, the opening scene particularly tried and failed to recreate the iconic scene in the original Scream. It’s definitely more on the comedy and bloody side of horror movies but it didn’t get a single jump scare out of me. Although it’s not exactly scary it is a slasher movie and it certainly delivers on the blood and gore. It also keeps the trend of everyone magically being able to run around like nothing happened after being knifed or having their stomach slashed open. Sure we all know the way to survive a horror movie is to cover the gushing wound with your hand, limp around for a bit and then break into a full on run like you’re not on the verge of bleeding to death. Don’t obsess over these details, honestly you’ll ruin any potential enjoyment if you start focusing on the inconsistencies. Just sit back and enjoy.

Scream 5 was far better than I expected it to be so well done lads. It delivers everything you’d expect in a slasher movie but that’s enough now, leave it alone. If I see another Scream movie on the horizon in the next few years I swear I’ll feckin’ scream. You’ve pointed out how Hollywood has lost its originality and yes you’re right about that so don’t fall into the same never ending loop that Halloween seems to be trapped in. Please take your own advice and be happy with how this sequel has turned out and move on to something else. Horror franchises aren’t meant to go on forever, even Saw knew it was finally time to stop. Halloween hasn’t quite figured it out yet but they will eventually. Scream is a fitting tribute to Wes Craven. It’s entertaining, ultra-gory and highly recommended for the horror fans.… Expand

It still has some similar issues but it’s message, acting, and stakes really bring this up against the rest of the sequels. Obviously it’s nowhere near being better than the OG but this does a lot right. There are actually stakes in this plot. The film doesn’t hold back with both the new and old characters. The film hints to you that anyone can die now. They aren’t protected anymore and we do see some gruesome deaths. I was able to call the major death but it still hit hard as their death was poetic and a final salute to that character. The new characters definitely were hit or miss for me. I really enjoyed Jenna Ortega’s character a lot and she gives a great performance. I’m excited to see where her career goes from here. Melissa Barrera’s character was also pretty good as well. She has ties to the original movie that don’t feel too forced as they actually do something with this connection in the story. Courtney Cox, Neve Campbell, and David Arquette are all having a blast here and it was a ton of fun to see them on screen again. I really enjoyed that the film’s main message this time was to poke fun at toxic fandoms. This is definitely something very prevalent in franchise films such as Star Wars, Marvel, and the DCEU and the commentary about how studios shouldn’t appeal to these people because they won’t be happy regardless. Their franchise films have to be exactly the way they want it but that’s not how the business works unless you are the Director with unlimited creative freedom. The villains are tied to this idea throughout the villain. The message is good but the actual villains are once again weak. One of them is important to the story and is kinda good but the other isn’t. The other villain comes out of nowhere but their death scenes were very satisfying. I would definitely recommend checking this out if you really liked the original Scream film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If there's something this franchise has never shied away from, it's its constant use of metafiction, but in this fifth installment, by exaggerating this resource, the saga also shows all its shortcomings.

As is often the case with horror films that spawn multiple sequels; variety, originality and lack of ideas are common and recurring problems, and Scream is no exception.

And no, this film is not what 2018 Halloween was, even if the script mentions it.
Scream is a direct sequel to Scream 4. All the previous events are still canon, but its attempt to shake up the formula fails monumentally.
Why? Because it continues to use the ridiculous recourse of the rules of a horror movie, and that's where this story cheaply sells you on its entire play.

If you pay even the slightest bit of attention, you'll know who the killers are immediately. From there, that's already more than problematic, but even worse, the narrative device the film uses to justify its existence is just lame. Billy Loomis' bastard daughter? Really?

The film goes so far as to show appearances by Skeet Ulrich reinterpreting his character from the original film, now as a sort of ghost/illusion of his daughter and even seeming to give him some sort of redemption at the end. That was lousy to say the least.

Jump scares are still the order of the day, and stupid decisions by all of its characters are a fundamental part of the plot.
The climax is completely lacking in tension, and the appearances of Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette feel obligatory rather than necessary.
Clearly a Scream movie without them wouldn't have the same validity in the eyes of fans. Pretty much the same thing that happens with all the Terminator movies that always need Arnold Schwarzenegger to work.

Needless to say, Scream tries too hard to be an original attempt for new audiences, but it's very hard to be of any use when everything you do is based on completely recycled elements.

This was very disappointing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was extremely suprised at how great Scream (5) was, I loved it and honestly think it is the best Scream film since the first 2 and one of the all-time best sequels I've ever seen. The writing was phenomenal; I loved how they kept up with the whole horror movie meta commentary and think that they did the best at the commentary since the first film also felt they did a great job at making you second guess everything. The special effects with all the kills were superb. The ensembles performances were exceptional especially from Jenna Ortega, Courteney Cox, Neve Campbell, Melissa Barrera, Marley Shelton, David Arquette, Jack Quaid, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Sonia Ben Ammar, and Mason Gooding. Also though it was disappointing that they killed off Dewey I do like that they took that jump to kill off one of the original three survivors and also loved that they revealed that Kirby survived.

I almost felt like parts of it were meant to be comedy while some of Dewey's parts were overly dramatic.

Still a pretty fun watch though and that's what these movies were always about.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mild but not explicit spoilers. Lots of good things to say. But cannot say it surpasses Scream 4. Killer's motives, setting up new protagonist, all great. Investment in characters is difficult with so much going on. One questionable, why didn't you do this simple thing situation, leading to a major death. Truly appreciate the death (much needed, and probably hated by most) but personally seemed easy to avoid and cheapened by this fact. Loved the death scene, just wish setup wasn't so ridiculous.

Love the flip-flop of expectation. While fans asking for the return of one character that could possibly, but unlikely make sense, they pull off a logical way to bring back the other (who definitely couldn't come back) instead. Given the nature of this films motive being upset fans, this was a pleasant, if not gutsy move.

Liked the back-to-basics approach, as called out in the movie, just felt that they skipped a few of the basics. With this many characters to juggle, hard to pull off caring about most of them. One killer in particular, was telegraphed to no question. No real depth that I remember, a background character, but not surprised. The other, without watching trailers or knowing anything about the movie I suspected solely on their range in past performances. With lots of screen time to give many reasons of doubt, had me mostly convinced this wasn't the case. So convincing, that when it happened, I wish it didn't. Much like Stu in the first film, the likeable character you didn't want to be a killer. but once he was, it elevated the movie.

The issue is the first movie hit you by surprise, Billy was the killer, and Stu was the unexpected surprise. Unlike this film's, we'll reveal a telegraphed killer, tell you there is another, and guess who that is surprise seemed less impactful.

The first film treated both as equals and the surprise was there was not one, but two killers and you didn't know. Again, cheapening the performance of killer 1 just to advertise killer 2, throws off that balance. To 3's credit it went against the norm and did single killer with motive tying back to the first film, actually the instigator of it all. Trilogy end. (Even if it is worst of the franchise, it done something different)

To this end, this film franchise cannot find its way past, or begin to top the original surprise of there were two of them. It has stalled ever since. But while the word stall seems negative, it is better than declining. While most horror sequel 5's are direct to whatever releases, this feels worthy of a theatrical release, and if it has stalled since the first, this is on par with all of the other sequels.… Expand

When the trailers dropped everyone saidThis was an enjoyable sequel with some predictable moments. With some brutal kills and I did hold on to my seat and jump once I admit. Even though some critic reviews said the movie wasn’t scary at all.
When the trailers dropped everyone said they were brilliantly misleading about who would die. Despite showing many attacks in the trailer. They unfortunately made one death way too obvious.
Early on in the movie I was able to predict who was a killer though and I was right. Which is some-what disappointing and I did leave wishing there was more surprises. I can’t say I still didn’t leave thinking I just watched one of the better Scream sequels. Part 4 was held back by some pretty goofy moments. Like, silly kill scenes and Anthony Anderson over-acting during his death scene. There’s nothing goofy about the brutal kills in the movie. Which is a plus.
It is also a plus that the casting of the new characters was pretty good. Definitely better than some of the casting of new blood in Scream 3. Melissa Barrera (In the Heights) and Jenna Ortega (Stuck in the Middle, You) are especially good as sisters.… Expand

Partiendo con lo más importante de todo: Wes Craven estaría ORGULLOSÍSIMO, estoy seguro de que así sería. Toda la película es un homenaje a la cinta original de 1996 luciendo como algo completamente único.

La sátira sobre los refritos hollywoodenses y los fans tóxicos e inconformes de las diversas franquicias cinematográficas está expuesta de manera increíblemente inteligente.

Muchas veces puede verse predecible para los que vieron la primera película, solo para que inmediatamente después comienzan a caer sorpresas a bocajarro.

Es en exceso astuta, inteligente, real y tan despiadada que a menudo olvidaba que solo es una película.

El regreso de los protagonistas originales podría conmover a los fans más acérrimos de forma relativamente dramática.

Los nuevos personajes son una clara representación de la juventud de hoy en día sin generar repudio en lo absoluto, todos juegan un rol fundamental.

Por último, es visceral, sangrienta, violenta, neurótica y tenebrosa, llevo años sin tener una experiencia así viendo una película de terror, además de ser la primera de la saga Scream que veo en cines, es imperdible, y por el momento, la mejor película de terror del año.

First sequel to perfectly balance the horror and humor that made the original so fun!!

I think this might’ve been the most fun I’ve had in a movie theater in a minute. Let me preface this review by stating upfront that I promise to make this review as vague and spoiler-free as possible. Now, with all of that out of the way, lets review....

Since 2011, I have felt the best sequel in the franchise that we had gotten thus far was Scream 4 (2011); followed very closely by that original sequel, Scream 2 (1997). But I have got to say…this fifth film stepped out swinging, and without question, it earned my respect.

Scream (2022) finds a way to perfectly balance the horror, suspense and satirical elements that has made these films so much fun to watch time after time.

It strayed away from those surrealistic comedic beats that made Scream 3 (2000) and Scream 4 (2011) feel almost cartoonish at times. Now, with all of that being said, I still love both of those films.

There was one recurring element of this new film that I really did not like all that much. I can see half of the fans loving it and the other half hating it. It just did nothing to add enough to the story and it came off more like a fan service camouflaged as character development. I just found it to be pretty unnecessary.

As a die hard fan of the original and its sequels. I can say that, in my opinion, this is the first sequel to actually match the feel of the original Scream (1996), which is a tone that is extremely difficult to match.

All in all, I gotta say this fifth film was an extremely pleasant surprise. I am very happy that the cast & crew paid so much respect to all of the other films and most importantly Wes Craven, who I think would have been really proud of this new entry. This movie was a terrific way to kick off a new storyline with new characters. The goals Craven and Kevin Williamson set out to accomplish in Scream 4 (2011) were finally brought to fruition here with this new entry. Allowing the legacy characters the opportunity for closure while keeping the world open to a future that can bring new faces and new storylines. I am so ready to see the continuation of this world and can’t wait to see where it goes from here.… Expand

I really enjoyed the movie, it is pretty corny sure but the return of original characters we grew up with while adding some new ideas and still paying homage to the original was good, especially the dynamic between the two leads and what came from the original that led to their mysterious fractured relationship. There's a lot of heart here and cheesy one liners but the kills are brutal and the acting is purposefully bad to the point its self-aware which the movies are known for. If this is truly the last Scream, I think it ends on a high note. 8.0/10 is my score.

I would like to add that it is NOT a movie you need to see in theaters, it would be just as good at home, I really do think this should have been on a streaming service and missed a good opportunity but I had a good time at my theater regardless of my opinion.… Expand

It's a lot of fun to try to figure out what will happen next, and many of the characters function as solid red herrings until the big reveal. I also liked the relationship between the two sisters quite a bit as they provided the movie with a little bit of heart. I was genuinely rooting for them both to make it. Aside from them a lot of the characters are pretty shallow and undeveloped, and, as someone with no nostalgia for the franchise, the shoehorning in of past characters felt a little unnecessary. Nonetheless, Scream is an entertaining and self aware horror flick with loads of great meta humour.… Expand

The problem is that it then doubles down on the meta. These films were always about meta, since The Matrix Resurrections (2021) meta has transitioned into annoying and very boring. In the 90s meta was actually a refreshing take and the parody of itself in the first films was actually enjoyable. This takes that enjoyment and kills it dead. I found it really hard to engage with the film, the story and the characters after the excellent opening. The tone and pacing is odd, often feeling no more than fanservice, there are some really misplaced emotional scenes that feel forced into the story. The new characters are mostly forgettable. The returning ones don’t have an arc. On the plus side there is some good gore, it looks nice, sounds nice and is well acted.

It not only follows the structure of its predecessors, the characters delight in how the meta implications of the films parallel their current situation. Obs, Ghostface returns to terrorize and slash the community, 25 years after the original. In addition to the slew of new young victims, 3 members of the original are back (Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette). Sadly, while the original upended audience expectations, this one delights in confirming all of their hopes, including numerous knifings and continually shifting suspicions. One sequence that ruined the whole thing for me is set in a hospital with apparently only one patient and a security guard. Nothing about the vicious stabbings or jump scares is original, leaving this an uninspired homage. In a nice note: This was dedicated to Wes Craven, who helmed the other 4 films. FUN FACT: Cox and Arquette met while shooting these films, got married and are now divorced.… Expand

It's tough to say whether or not — or sometimes even how — this newest iteration stacks up against the others, but having seen most of the first film and bits and pieces of the others, I suppose I'll give it a crack. This mostly works. The central mystery does fine in holding the film together. Even when the ultimate reveal didn't stick the landing for me, I could still find entertainment in the product. I don't really have skin in this game, but I suppose I can see where fans of the franchise take issue with certain choices made here. Speaking of which, the meta-commentary on Hollywood and filmmaking this time around is definitely something. A little hyperbolic and unsatisfying in terms of the direction you thought the narrative was going, but definitely something. All in all, it's certainly not typical January horror fare, which is a plus, to say the least.… Expand

A great mix of nostalgia, comedy and horror, Scream is easily the best entry in the franchise since the original.

The original scream was an inspired reworking of the genre with a unique 'meta' take on itself but this 2022 'requel' takes this concept to the edge and beyond sitting right next to its sister genre parody. Its really tough to be surprisingThe original scream was an inspired reworking of the genre with a unique 'meta' take on itself but this 2022 'requel' takes this concept to the edge and beyond sitting right next to its sister genre parody. Its really tough to be surprising in this genre and although its clear alot of thought went into the ideas behind it, it seems the effort made to anticipate the audience was prioritised over making a functional horror movie. I never felt even a tinge of tension as things were just moving too fast with too many characters that carried far too much beef around each other and I ultimately felt this would have worked far far better as a miniseries where we could get more time in its world and actually slow things down enough to feel the horror and unravel the mystery of the ghost faced killer. Still if you just want to munch popcorn and watch 30 yr olds pretending to be teenagers getting murdered then this movie is for you!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie is absolutely unoriginal, even for such a crappy story to begin with.
Acting is even ok for a slasher movie, but the ideas are so poorly implemented that it is repetitive, bland, boring. Bringing the old cast back together was nice, but fruitless. No connection exists anymore, and quite honestly both Cox as well as Campbell acted as if doing a favor to the producers. Seems as if it is merely another bait and switch movie.
And obviously, who is to blame for an incredibly dumb movie? TOXIC FANDOM!!

“Well, maybe you're the killer. Because that cut deep.”

Scream (2022) takes the meta, “requel” approach that seems to be getting popular in modern franchise movies. For those who don’t know; “requel” basically means when a movie revisits“Well, maybe you're the killer. Because that cut deep.”

Scream (2022) takes the meta, “requel” approach that seems to be getting popular in modern franchise movies. For those who don’t know; “requel” basically means when a movie revisits sections from an earlier film, for example, a well-known movie franchise, but is technically not a remake. However, I feel this trend will eventually be tired out, but I feel it makes more sense with the ‘Scream’ franchise with its commentary.

So, this movie brings in the new but also brings back the old to the series. The legacy characters make a return and are well respected. Neve Campbell isn’t featured as much this time around, which means she’s not the focus of the story. Campbells and Courteney Cox
have a great team-up scene that was a personal highlight for me. Campbell also has the best line in the whole movie during the climax, “Enjoy that torch”.

The new cast of characters was fine, and the performance was all decent. David Arquette was surprisingly the standout here, as out of the cast he delivered the most memorable performance in the movie. Jenna Ortega was also great in this, especially with the dramatic scenes. I liked how this approached toxic fan-base, with the stimulus being the ‘Stab’ movies within the Scream universe, in terms of how the franchise has evolved and how “woke” it got because when you try to criticize how meta it is, you’re only proving the film's point. I think we are all familiar with toxic fan bases, so this was satisfying to watch.

If I must be honest, I’m a bit unenthusiastic about this one. I don’t know why, but maybe it’s just that I didn’t get much out of this one. While I can recognize there are good elements on the screen, and yet I felt nothing towards it. Of course, there’s going to be another one, and I just hope that it does something a lot fresher rather than walk on familiar ground, in terms of structure.

Overall rating: Should’ve been called 5cream.… Expand

I really wanted to like this movie. I love the slasher genre, a big fan of the original, but really hated this movie. The acting, the “meta” storytelling, the directing, were all among the worst I’ve ever seen.

It includes the expected meta-commentary on the horror genre and I love that the franchise is still self-aware about it. It also includes some very gruesome kills and some good scares. It has returning legacy characters and they are all still great in the role. Of the new younger cast, only the main character Sam Carpenter is memorable. The rest of the cast are quite forgettable and all of them ramble about the rules of horror/slasher rather than just one person in the original. They can also ramble about it for a bit too long. The Ghostface revelation is a bit disappointing as the motive is incredibly weak and there is a severe lack of foreshadowing for it.

Overall, not as great as Wes Craven was at his best but never as bad as his more disappointing entries (Scream 3). It's a pretty entertaining movie and a good entry in the franchise.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horror movie made in 2022, the end of the series. Did I watch with interest? Yes.

Did I guess the killers? From the head.

Did i like it? Not a lot

Lots of Netflix commercials were boring

I think they've decided to end the series now. The first episode of the movie series was really good. The following episodes never gave the taste of the first movie. They kill the killer so easily and comfortably. It's really silly.

What has this Dewey done to you? Why did you kill?

In addition, the stab wounds did not even create a mosquito effect in the last ones.

I hope the series is completely over with this episode.… Expand

Друзья дебилы. Нет бы из города сдристнуть в разные концы сша, ведь убивали уже 5 раз, одним и тем же способом в этом городишке. Ан нет, зачем?
Главная героиня это дочь того самого первого маньяка Билли, из Крика 1996 года. Правда не пойму откуда у 16 летнего Билли дочь появилась? Хз. Но это частности.
Ну фильм типичный трэшак. Люди странно реагируют на сквозные ранения жизненно важных органов, попадания нескольких выстрелов из револьвера в грудь и т. д. Короче простреленная печень для героев это как палец порезать, чо то болит, но жить можно.
Конечно порадовало появление героев фильма 1996 года в этой экранизации. Дьюи жалко. Мне кажется актёр сам попросил его убить, что бы больше не сниматься в этом трэшняке!
Что самое ужасное, так это то, что через 10 минут было понятно кто убийцы.
Конечно фильм посетила лгбт повесточка. Больше половины женских героинь лесбиянки. Хотя, как не странно, в данном случае, меня это вообще ни как не раздражало.
Да, конечно феминизьм победил. И победители это три бабы!

Why does it seem like horror franchises just keep going on and on and on, sequel after sequel after sequel? I guess action franchises do the same thing. Ugh, aren’t there any original ideas!?! Okay, Streamers, I’m not going to complainWhy does it seem like horror franchises just keep going on and on and on, sequel after sequel after sequel? I guess action franchises do the same thing. Ugh, aren’t there any original ideas!?! Okay, Streamers, I’m not going to complain anymore because I rushed out to see Scream (2022) in the theater this weekend or as I like to call it “Scream 5.” Is it a sequel, a reboot, a re-quel? Let’s see whether this re-quel killed.

Do you really need to know the plot of Scream (2022)? Have you seen any of the previous 4 Scream movies? It’s that. Fine! A new set a teen idiots in Woodsboro are getting killed by a person in a Ghostface mask. Sidney, Gale and Dewey get dragged back into this mess because there is some connection to the murders from the original Scream 25 years ago. Serial killings with sharp knives ensue.

The Scream franchise is supposed to be filled with outrageous killings, humor and movie lore. Of course, this movie has to be updated for the current moviegoing audience. Scream (2022) can’t retread what was already told to us about scary movies 25 years ago or can it? Nevertheless, the writers have found a new angle to justify the resurgence of a Ghostface killer. It is ridiculous, but what do you really expect from a fifth movie in a series? Unfortunately, very few of the killings are memorable, the humor is lacking or doesn’t land (there’s one really good LOL moment), and the movie lore aspect is a basically a retread or completely insane – and not in a satisfying way. The tropes that are used to keep the story going are frustrating especially when smart characters like Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers are brought back. They should know better!

On a side note: the new set of teen idiots are terrible. They are just fodder for the killer – walking, talking meat shields that exist just to die. It’s a waste of time to put any effort into connecting with them. They’re not even funny enough to lament once they’re gone. The other sequels introduced better side characters.

Scream (2022) was a disappointment. It feels like a cash grab. It has weak commentary on the current state of movies and movie fandom. It has weak new characters that exist just to be killed and are neither funny nor memorable. Everyone in this movie does dumb things that should be eradicated from scary movies, especially these Scream sequels. This movie is just entirely too frustrating to invest time in. When it comes on a streaming service, stream if bored – one popped kernel.… Expand
