Close to as good as the original. Even better in some aspects. A perfect blend of comedy, nostalgia, emotion and suspense that leaves you wanting more.

Saliendo de ver Scream 5 y no se realmente cómo empezar a expresar mis impresiones.

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.

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. An A+ sequel. Expand

Scream 2022 is one of the best horror movies in the last decade one of the best horror films to me and honoring wes craven i’m gonna be honest wes craven vision i’m not the biggest fan of definitely when it comes down to the sequels of course the original is an amazing film the sequels are just feel dead to be with no really style idk but this new scream movie is like the identical to the original i think this scream movie when comparing to the original has better characters to me better kills and i like the entire world too but the original has better kills and a better opening if i’m gonna be comparing but this movie is pretty awesome like the kills so brutal which is everything i wanted and more and yes this will be an spoiler but dewey does die and it’s very sad how he dies like that he was the best he has ever been in the entire scream franchise than gale seeing him dead is very sad too with the music in the background too is sooo good my god i loved it i just can’t believe this movie has stakes but not the last four movies which is odd to me i like ghost face in this with the voice is soooooo **** good i can’t to explain how good it is and can never be someone else doing it alrighty the killers um i do like amber as is she’s kinda like jill in scream 4 but richi the hell he has no reason to be there that’s one issue that’s it i think this movie is genius and amazing so glad this came out and not a movie just to make movie. So all-round scream 2022/Scream 5 is an amazing horror film that horror was with amazing kills and stakes I give Scream 2022 an A+ 99% Expand

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.

To an impressive extent, directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and their team succeed in squaring this circle, a trick they accomplish partly by turning their film into a symposium on what a new Scream ought to look like.

Wes would be so proud!

Scream 2022 is everything you want a scream movie to be. It's meta, scary and funny but also it's also a very brutal, bloody and fresh addition the franchise! This is the most brutal Ghostface yet and the OG cast and the new blood blend so well together! Best sequel of the franchise (maybe tied with Scream 2) absolutely loved it! Great performances all round as well from the new cast.

Radio Silence are true fans and it shows! They have really knocked it out of the park and I cannot wait for a sequel! (hopefully)

They have made way for a new era for Scream and I'm here for it! Perfect passing of the torch movie.

This is how. Craven's DNA ripples through this new installment and serves as an incredible tribute to the 'Master of Horror' and the dialogue has crackles of Williamson's signature wit and meta awareness. But is it any good? Yes, yes it is. Very. It may well be my favourite sequel and is closest to recapturing the 'lightning in a bottle' that the original famously achieved. Small warning though: this installment is far more brutal than previous entries but it definitely earns those moments with stunning suspense courtesy of beautiful cinematography and pacing which takes a slow simmer up to a roaring boil by the third act. Steering hard into fan service is the ONLY way to satire fan service, with returning 'legacy' characters reminding us of the history of this franchise without carrying the immense load needed to modernise the story and up the ante.

Those responsibilities are left to an impressive younger cast. Melissa Barrera is serviceable as the new central character, but it's the rest of the ensemble that really shine throughout. Jenna Ortega as her sister Tara has SUCH strong Drew Barrymore/Casey Becker vibes, reminding us exactly why that very first scene in the franchise is so iconic. Jasmin Savoy Brown as Mindy is my MVP of the film, delivering some of the best exposition without it feeling like exposition and repositioning what a 'film nerd' is in 2022, and her brother Chad (Mason Gooding) matches her energy, though in a much more casual way. Shout out though to David Arquette's Dewey Riley who's work as an intermediary between the old and the new really highlights how much of an anchor he has been throughout the franchise, and why his character is so beloved. Final thoughts: See Scream (2022) in cinemas if you can and PLEASE try and avoid spoilers! Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (together under their working name Radio Silence) have directed what feels like a modern classic which would make Wes beyond proud.

Was 17 when I saw the first one in 1996 on VHS, funny enough tho I saw Scream 2 first in the cinema only because my mates wanted to go see it. Watched Scream 3 with my cousin and sister thinking it was the final chapter and certainly felt like it was. then came Scream 4 in 2011.....NEW RULES, THE GAME CHANGED supposed to usher in a new trilogy.....but then nothing came after, 10 years later however we have the 5th Installment, some people will call it a reboot/sequel......no to me its just the 5th chapter in the Scream Saga. I enjoyed the movie, the kills were gory but in terms of how it rank with the other movies I would say its probably my 3rd favorite SCARY MOVIE in the franchise.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Scream 5 ist der erste Filme ohne die Beteiligung von Wes Craven. Man merkt, trotzdem das die neuen Regisseure Ahnung von dem Franchise haben und Fans davon sind. Der Film ehrt Wes Craven und seine Charaktere aus den Scream Filmen. Der Film pass gut zu den Vorgängern. Beim ersten Mal schauen fande ich in nur ok und am schlechtesten von allen. Jetzt beim rewatch fande ich ihn tatsächlich den zweit besten Teil, trotz einiger Fehler. Grundsätzlich finde ich alle Scream Teile gut. Es ist auf jedenfall der brutalste Teil von 1-5. Es ist auch gleichzeitig der emotionalste Film. Zum einen wegen Wes Craven und weil wir eine wichtige Figur verlieren. Die neuen Charaktere die in Fortsetzungen wieder vorkommen wurde gut eingefügt. Obwohl sie ziemlich Ähnlichkeit mit anderen Figuren aus anderen Teilen haben. Tote Charaktere finden auch statt, was aber sinnvoll eingesetzt wurde. Scream 5 ist ein guter Abschluss für die alten Charaktere und ein guter Start für die neuen Hauptfiguren. In diesem Teil wird sich über die toxischen Fans lustig gemacht. Und das die Filmemacher nicht mer auf Qualität achten, sondern auf Geld und Erfolg.

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

Review Title: Scream With Heart

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.

The best Scream since the original. The meta commentary on soft reboots and toxic fans was great. If you follow the film industry then you will like this movie. It does what the matrix 4 did, but better.

If you are a fan of the saga you will love this movie.

I would say that it is the best in the sense that the actors did an excellent job developing the new characters without removing the protagonist from the originals. The characters get into our thoughts and give us perspective on how the movie unfolds, seeing from the outside and inside. Excellent story to introduce the new characters and mix them with the old ones. I feel that it lacks a bit of character when they discover the identity of the murderers but the emotion is not lost since the beginning of the movie.

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.

This 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.

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.

The killer's were too easy pick out, the first two people I had suspected were guilty. The second biggest issue was their motivation, just really didn't hit home for me. Other than that it was decent, I might rewatch it and see if I enjoy it more the second time. Expand

Понравилась актерским составом, понравилась сюжетом, понравилась звуком, но самая большая особенность это то, что на протяжении фильма ты должен угадать, кто же убийца, и для меня стало интересным сюжетным поворотом, что убийц в фильме два. Есть конечно немного глупые моменты, где ты такой, блин зачем ты туда идешь, почему вы не помогаете, а просто стоите, и на многие моменты просто задаешь вопрос "зачем?" и "почему?" Expand

Para mí, como no tan fan de la saga, me he visto las 2 primeras y esta, me gusta, quizás a un fan acérrimo que ya lleva 8 películas a su espalda... no lo tengo tan claro. Hilan bien la historia, sin ser esta una maravilla, y el suspense está guay. Tiene momentos muy chorras que veo necesarios al principio pero que cansan hacia el final.

· Cosas buenas: las actuaciones son buenas, el reparto es buena, y la dirección es top. Cameos y guiños guays a las primeras entregas, está todo muy bien hilado. El humor me parece bueno, pero quizás sí se vuelve algo cansino. Además, tiene momentos de lucidez que sí son realmente buenos, y dejan pie hacia el futuro, eso sí, ¿es necesario un futuro?
· Cosas malas: para mí rizan demasiado el rizo con el tema de la recuela (secuela + remake), el argumento general tiene poca fuerza, da algunos palos de ciego. Por otro lado, los sustos no funcionan demasiado, convirtiéndola en más parodia que una peli de terror.
· Conclusión: a mí me gustó bastante, la verdad. No sé si a alguien que lleve pegado a la saga todo este tiempo le pueda parecer más de lo mismo. Está bien, cumple, y da pie a siguientes entregas, que no veo necesarias.

The film is not without minor flaws and was never going to top the excellence of Scream 1 or 2, but it's the third best entry and miles above disappointing cash cows such as Halloween 2018, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, or The Matrix: Resurrections.

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

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

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.

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.

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. 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).

I liked that three of the main characters were included in this film. I just didn't like the plot line all that much. I felt they could've been more original and just taken it to a whole different level.

Forgettable requel that pretends to be funny but works only as parody, never as terror movie

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.

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

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

Lame nothing burger of a movie, full of modern political and Twitter weirdo pandering clichés, utterly tedius ending, open insults to the fans and absolutely nothing new to offer. A far cry from the subversive and genre breaking original.

“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.

Not a terrible movie. But ruined by the typical jump scare tactics. There is too many of them.
Jump scare is a short lived effect. You seen a couple of films with these and they do not bite you anymore. Predictable.
The ending was a bit dumb.

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

Ну, что? Крик 2022 это типичный, очень типичный Крик образца 1996 года.
Завязка по канону. Дура в стеклянном доме и убийца с функцией телепортации.
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.

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

I go back and forth with the meta commentary. Overall landing on it being pretty unfulfilling. Still a fun watch for horror fans.
