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. (the hospital scene with Dewey...) 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.

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.

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. That‘s not enough to save it from being another dull rehash of old ideas.

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 sayInarguably one of the horror genre's more important touchstones, the "Scream" movies have comprised an admitted blindspot in my movie-going journey, with all four of the original films remaining on my backlog to this day. 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

“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.

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.

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!
Короче можно смотреть, можно не смотреть. Ничего ни кто не потеряет. Ждали чего то типа "Фредди против Джейсона", а получили очередную серию "Кошмара на улице Вязов" совершенно никому не нужную.

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was very close to a 7, but ultimately had one too many flaws so I'll stick with a 6 out of 10. Ultimately, I enjoyed the movie. It was essentially what Jurassic World was to the Jurassic Park franchise or The Force Awakens to the Star Wars franchise. A sequel that had just enough similar beats to the first movie to where you could confuse it for a reboot - which is exactly what it wanted to be, hence the "requel" discussion. Pros: Tight script resulting in good pacing, solid performance by the main and supporting cast, enough tongue-in-cheek moments to feel like a Scream film, and one kill that was perfectly executed and haunting. If I were to rank the Scream franchise, this movie would be right in the middle behind Scream and Scream 2 and just ahead of Scream 4, while they all drive away "accidentally" leaving Scream 3 on a trip to the grand canyon. Using toxic fandom and subreddit echo-chambers as the motive for the killers is hilarious and makes the motives of the killers mirror frustrations of present day movie makers, also mirroring and modernizing the motives of the killers in the first Scream film.

Cons: This was probably the weakest of the Scream series as far as the "whodunit" is concerned. The opening of the movie gives away the identity of one of the killers. Initially, you figured the movie was sticking to the formula and about to kill off two people in the opening. But, nope. The main victim survives and the second "victim" doesn't even get attacked. Pretty obvious at that point that the second "victim" was likely in on the attack and one of the killers, using their relationship with the main victim as a control mechanism. And, although it's close to the ending, as soon as one character randomly goes "to get a beer" while people are dying and they are trying to leave the city, it's pretty clear who the second killer is.

On that note - and this may seem pretty petty but - Mikey Madison is 5'2" and David Arquette is 5'10". However, they appeared similarly tall and framed when they faced off in the hospital. Even if she was wearing platform shoes - which actually would have been a funny way to make fun of how fans freaked out about Claire wearing heels in Jurassic World - ghostface's frame was not Mikey's. Additionally, it's a valid complaint in this scene that a teenage girl somehow overpowers and outfights a grown man who is trained (at least mildly) in hand-to-hand combat based on his time in the police force. Other small things: - Sydney and Gale felt forced and were ultimately unnecessary to the plot. Dewey is the only original character to propel the plot. - The hospital scene was fun but the lack of personnel, patients, etc. was ridiculous (but a more common movie trope than people may realize, so it's not a huge deal for me).
- Although this would have wasted Jenna Ortega's talents, why would the killers leave her alive? Based on the end, they planned to kill her eventually anyways. Killing her would have likely brought her sister back in town, as well. And it's far too big of a risk that she may have seen, heard, or retroactively realized something that could identify who one of the killers were (her friend, who 100% would have been investigated and probably been under surveillance by the cops after she somehow survived the opening without being attacked).

É divertidinho, mas não tô empolgado pra ver os novos rumos da franquia. Expand

Meta commentary only goes so far for me. It quickly goes from entertaining to dull, and the twists/reveals are not surprising.

Not bad. Nice call backs and brought the series back to its roots. Love the original cast back as well to reprise their roles along the new cast.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While it features a few decent scenes and characters, Scream (2022) feels a little pointless. Part of that has to do with how little the scriptwriters bothered to evolve the format of the series, and part of it also has to do with how they handled the returning legacy characters. Truthfully, I don't see why they bothered bringing back Gale, Dewey, and Sidney if they weren't going to give them anything meaningful to do. Dewey dies in an extremely silly and idiotic way, and Gale and Sidney spend most of the film running around and contributing nothing. It feels as though the only reason these characters are in the movie is to justify its existence, and exploit the audience's nostalgia. As for the new cast, most of them do a decent enough job, but never rise beyond serviceable. The lead girl and her sister were fine enough, although they weren't nearly as compelling as other characters throughout the series. Ritchie was a rather likeable and believable character, but once it was revealed that he was one of the two killers (which was exceedingly obvious) I couldn't bring myself to take him all too seriously. He doesn't make for a especially decent villain. Overall... eh.

Probably the best sequel to the original film but it makes some bizarre creative decisions.

I couldn't wait to see the new scream because I love the other Scream movies. This one was different. Sidney nearly played in the movie, but many people say Ghost Face are the 'true character' in all of them.

I expected more when watching it. .I really hope Scream 6 will be better next year. Since Sidney will not be in the new one. Expand

This movie started out promising enough but fumbles the ending so so badly.

Scream (2022) doesn’t have as much personality as its predecessors, but is ultimately successful in its attempt to revitalize the franchise.
