Scream

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.

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.

...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.

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.

Not any good? There are a few (A FEW) scenes that are a bit (A BIT) thrilling... BUT

The bad: this is a snoozefest, a sleeping pill. NO horror, NO real suspense, only a few (A FEW) bloody knife cut scenes, that's all folks.

More bad: the leading actresses in this movie are totally bland and lacking charisma.

It didnt help the movie either by reintroducing the old (good) actors, because they look lost in this movie now they are this old.

Better watch one of the old editions, because this sequel is quite a bummer.
