Scream

After watching Scream 2022 (Scream 5), I'm confused as to how critics and fans are rating this film a 9 or 10 out of 10. The 1st and 2nd act worked well, the 3rd act ruined it. The conclusion felt random and unearned. Certain intentions made no sense. I also didn't appreciate the writers pretty much asking the viewers to suspend logic while watching. Whoever is placing this entry into the #2 or #3 spot of the franchise is living in La La Land.

That said, this movie opens itself up to an interesting 6th sequel if written well. Bring Kevin Williamson back to write the entire script. Bring in some more humor. Surprise me with something original.

...It's not even good.

I'm speechless, what was that? It's just a big mess and nothing made sense at the end. And who had the idea to create a movie called stab around a movie in a movie with real things happening in a movie.

And Botox Courteney...no facial expressions as an Actress.

Scream 5 wasn't creepy or shocking, the jokes weren't funny, the acting was kinda uninspired like the whole story.

This Movie is a big fail and disappointing.

I don't know where the hype is coming from. Its not that i hate the movie or anything, but its just more of the same thing. Its a bloody slasher film, the acting is average, the killings are predictable, and the story is the same. Its a rehash of every other scream movie, its not bad, its just nothing new and frankly that makes it a little on the boring side.

This film is a slasher that requires you to turn your brain off. It is silly at times, and the plot is just very unlikely. It may be alright to kill some time with it.

Ghost face once again terrorises Woodsboro, faces old and new.

I went in with fairly low expectations, and came out of the cinema feeling thoroughly entertained. It wasn't perfect, but it was a very good installment, it managed to pack a lot in to what by today's standards is a moderate running time (refreshing not to be sat for 2.5 hours!)

Let's begin with the two best elements for me, firstly the visuals, this movie looks terrific, some gorgeous shots, those behind the camera did a tremendous jobs. Secondly, the horror element, they managed to surprise you constantly, you didn't know when the next scare was coming, good fun for those that love jump scenes.

Nostalgia seems to be the order of the day in films for 2021/2022, and if you're a fan of the first few, there is a lot here to enjoy. They really do pay homage to the first one. A good awareness of where the film sits in the franchise history, and some nice commentary.

Slightly more serious than the last few, don't expect the humour from years gone by, there isn't much of it.

I'm reminded of the Halloween reboot, it's a quality film, that embraces its past, but offers something new as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, 8/10.

A nice touch regarding Wes.
