Scream 5

The trailer makes it look better than what I would have expected anyway.

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 trailer for this looks really good.

The two directors did Ready or Not which I absolutely loved so expecting big things here. Especially as a huge fan of the Scream movies (bar Scream 3 which I despise).

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.

Some people obviously care hence there being people whose job it is to review movies. And then sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Letterboxd, IMDB and Metacritic. Bizarre comment.

I don't think anyone is letting critics make up their mind for them however it is promising to see a movie being positively reviewed - obviously.

Given that there were new directors taking over a long established franchise previously helmed by one man, again the reviews are a good indicator that it wasn't completely mishandled.

Anyway, I loved Ready or Not so if they manage to capture that essence and bring it to the Scream franchise (of which I am a fan of 1,2 and 4) then I cannot wait to see this.

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.

Hard to say without having seen the new one, but Scream 2 is essential viewing and on par with the first one for me, so maybe watch that at least? All the sequels are quite self-referential with lots of nods and inside jokes, so it helps if you have seen the previous ones, although you can just enjoy them as fun popcorn flicks. The main trio and some great actors in supporting parts make it worthwhile to seek them out. Scream 3 and 4 are divisive and have many detractors, but they're also quite fun in spite of their flaws, just not as thrilling and suspenseful as the first two.

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.
