Scream 5

The main thing about this film is who will be the big reveal at the end - who will be the killer.

I just have a feeling that it will be one of those movies that seems tense enough, but then will be let down by something stupid at the end i.e. the reveal.

The only way I would be excited to see this movie would be if the opening scene killed off one of Sydney, Gail or Dewey (ideally all three). They have really survived far too long. Also Neve Campbell is a charisma-free lead and Courtney Cox's surgery makes her look demented. Less screen time for them hopefully. The trailer makes this film look less meta than it's predecessors, and hopefully this more serious tone will shake things up a bit. My money's on Hughie from The Boys being the killer :)

Out here January 14th

It can't be that brutal with a 16 rating.

There is one with pretty much that title...Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th...it's crap

I was probably gonna wait till this leaked and watched it at home with a few beers, but definitely going to see it ASAP based on the reviews.

Saw this earlier and it's not the best. I won't say too much as I don't want to spoil it for anyone but the whole thing feels stretched, like that cow has well and truly been milked and now they really need to leave it alone. It zips along at a decent clip but all in all its just not very interesting. The only real bright spot is Melissa Barrera who seems to be acting in a completely different and better movie than everyone else, she's really good. Probably not worth spending money at the cinema, maybe wait til it comes out on Netflix or whatever in a few weeks or so.

Well that was disappointing. Better than 3 and 4 but not even better than 2 imo. A couple of decent kills Cox and Campbell were also great when on screen (which wasn't enough). The new cast poor, the central girl meh. Lots of kind of obvious nods, winks and Easter eggs.

It was also kind of poorly put together...inconsistencies even around what time of day it was...which you wouldn't notice in a better film annoyed me.

No spoilers but predictable as well.

I had high hopes given how fun ready or not was. It felt dated despite the modern references they had shoehorned in.

4/10

It's a crock of ****. It's what you'd expect from a Scream sequel but a hell of a lot worse. Predictable, humourless and the new lead actresses are bland, with Campbell and Cox barely registering in the movie at all. A disgrace of a movie really. I enjoyed sitting in the cinema though :)

I'm nearly afraid to say that I really enjoyed it as it doesn't seem to have gone too well here. Easily the best one since the original for me, though clearly a couple of levels below that which is to be expected given that the twist is expected now rather than being a genuine surprise like the original.

I did feel that some of the casting was a bit off though. Won't go into that too much other than saying one or two or the better actors were underused and really should've been in more prominent roles, but I can see scope for one of them in a sequel.

Haven't seen Jack Quaid in anything before, very solid performance, thought he was the cut of Liev Schrieber so I was half-expecting a twist there but that wasn't to be. Probably just as well.

Saw it last night and have to say I loved it , the only thing I didn't like was the lead girl I thought she was terrible and had me rooting for her to be a victim which is never good but other than that I really enjoyed it

Agree with the others the cut of Courtney Cox especially when you put her next to Neve Campbell who still looks amazing

i went yesterday as we had cabin fever and 10 mins later i had completely forgotten i had gone such was it's shiteness

I thought it was okay was expecting more given the initial reviews but if I hadn't seen them probably the film you could expect at this point.

A bit of fine tuning and it would have been all the better for it as some of the inconsistencies/flaws were hard not to shake the head.

A lot of the new cast were ropey enough agree on the lead didn't think the sister was too bad (Jenna Ortega), she actually played the troubled young girl in season 2 of 'You'.

Below also contains Scream 4 spoiler...

The 2022 cast just didn't have the chrisma or likeability of the original 90's cast.

Even 26 years later Campbell, Arquette, Cox & spoiler outshone all of them whenever they were on screen.

I enjoyed it. For sure, it has nothing on the original but I didn't go in expecting that. I got what I thought I'd get, a bit of tension, some meta-commentary, a decent whodunit, and some good kills. I think they did well to find a new angle on the series with Sam and her history. Though I found the hallucinations to be a bit out of place and not in the spirit of Scream, especially that last 'nod' which veered in to some sort of divine intervention. The opening attack was brutal, and really captured the tension of the original. The new cast were decent but yeah I agree they lacked much interest. The twins were probably the most interesting, especially the girl as the "expert" of the group.

Someone mentioned the time changes above. Have to agree there too. The trip to the hospital went from mid-day daylight to dusk to nighttime... in the space of 10 minutes?

On the original cast returning, Deewie was great. Sidney was nice to see back but could have been given more to do. Gale Weathers though... sorry but Cox looks terrible with the plastic surgery... like a skeleton with skin pulled over it. I feel sorry for her that she did that to herself. And it totally affects any sort of performance she could have given since her face can barely emote. Also, she added nothing to the movie.

Anyway, overall a solid Scream movie for me. Slightly obvious killers, but at least it wasn't overly convoluted... in fact it probably veered too far the other way as far as motivations go. New cast were ok, old cast were a mixed bag.

Absolutely awful movie.

production is so poor, cast reflections in the opening scene, day and night changing randomnly in one part.

stab wounds with a hunting knife, to the stomach now no impact, being shot in the stomach with a n actual bullet have no impact.

One character being turned into a “pin cushion” as referred to by one character and only slightly grimacing when sitting up means a lot of the violence becomes quite cartoonish.

The penultimate kill changes that though, that was actually refreshing to see.

I’d leave it at the trailer if I were you.
