The reviews for Scream are in, and they're largely heralding the new film as one of the best in the slasher franchise. 🔪
The reviews for Scream are officially in - what do they say about the newest installment in the Ghostface saga? The Scream franchise has so far produced four movies and a television series, but it is far from finished. This Friday makes the long-awaited arrival of the fifth Scream film, which is being positioned as both a continuation and a reboot.
Though Scream features plenty of franchise newcomers, it retains the core trio of Sidney Prescott , Dewey Riley , and Gale Weathers . As the experts in handling Ghostface, it's up to them to teach the new characters how to survive a horror movie. Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, Scream also stars Dylan Minnette, Kyle Gallner, Jack Quaid, Mason Gooding, Melissa Barrera, Marley Shelton, Jenna Ortega, Mikey Madison, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Sonia Ammar.
For fans who were let down by some of Scream’s later installments, it sounds like the 2022 movie will appease all of their doubts. There are some critics who weren’t won over by the franchise’s return, but overall, the reviews have been pretty positive so far. Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett’s decision to tackle fandom toxicity seems to have been a smart one, especially as it keeps Scream relevant with the state of moviegoing right now.
Was another Scream necessary? Probably not, but it so far sounds like this movie isn’t just a nostalgic cash grab. It remains to be seen if it will kick off a brand new series of Scream films; a few reviews have hinted it leaves the door open for at least another one, but those who made the film have been bullish about whether there will be more. It seems likely that if Scream resonates with fans and proves to be a success, Ghostface could rear their head once more.
