Scream

I enjoyed it more than I expected... I laughed quite a bit.

Scream is a blast, a solid setup for more to come.

To an impressive extent, directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and their team succeed in squaring this circle, a trick they accomplish partly by turning their film into a symposium on what a new Scream ought to look like.

Remembering the thrill of the original, and just how brilliantly of its time it was, this is just alright. The Halloween reboot was far more surprising in its reconfiguration.

Scream is smart. All that's lacking is a plot, or a heroine, capable of making us squeal.

While this is the smartest, funniest and stabbiest film since the 1996 original, it does feel as though Scream has come full circle...

Supported by an incredible ensemble cast of new and familiar faces, as well as a slew of brutal kills, the directing duo has made something special with Scream (2022).



A good enough requel that's smart enough to know that it's taking the only route open to it.

A bottle of Metamucil holds more meta than this whimper of a movie.

Once the cool kid on the block, the Scream franchise is now stuck in a rut longing for the glory days of the past.
