Scream

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 was good but it lacked that Wes touch and a good story. I guessed who was ghostface in the first 10 minutes. Glad to see Dewey and the old crew back but this was OK to watch but not great.

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.

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.

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.
