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...

As the death count mounts and yet more of the red stuff is spilled, the biggest injuries here are still generally self-inflicted: the filmmakers just can’t help stabbing themselves in the feet.

Now, if we can "turn a blind eye" to its narrative slips, we can enjoy a film that is on par with the rest of the saga... [Full review in Spanish]

While the film tries to evoke the clever, meta film dialogue of the original, terms such as “requel” are better left unspoken.

Scream 5 successfully revives a beloved series with lovable new faces and reveals that live up to the franchise.
