Does Scream (2022) Respect The Fans? - Hack The Movies

Tony and Crystal talk about the new Scream movie! In this movie review/podcast they will talk about all the ways it respects the fans! Like how continues a long running franchise instead of remaking it, how it tells a new story that revisits many things we like about the original, and how the original characters pass a torch to a new generation.
Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, Calif., a new killer dons the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town's deadly past.

I think Creed is still the best example of the modern soft reboot. I love it just as much as the original Rocky.

[@wstine79]

I had a friend who got me on board the Scream crew as a Production Assistant. I enjoyed seeing the film being made as well as watching the movie. Definitely a worthy entry in the franchise.

[@venomlayton1394]

I enjoyed both season 1 and 2 of mtv’s scream it was something different and it made ghostface scary again, I liked how they remade the mask and I understand why they couldn’t use the source material because of rights, but I am glad that they still made it like the originals but they did there own vision on it, and I may get a lot of hate for this but mtv’s scream tv series is leaps and bounds, worlds and galaxies better then rings of power

[@thereaper6137]

Tony you were sorta right about Stu being in scream, bloody disgusting posted a article where they interviewed the directors, where they revealed a whole bunch of Easter eggs we didn’t know about. one of them being that our dear Matthew lillard voiced ghostface in that stab 8 video.

[@daveh1065]

Yeah that was Matthew Lillard under the metal gf mask with the flame thrower...so technically he was a killer in this too...just in Stab tho..haha

[@ATrainMMA]

It’s all goes back to billy in the first movie talking about silence of the lambs and Jodie foster seeing flashbacks of her dead father. Also enjoyed the Easter eggs of drew Barrymore being the principals voice, Matthew lillard as the metal fire shooting ghost face and Jaime Kennedy doing a voice line at the party.

I haven’t watched Scream in years but you guys reference enough stuff that I can pretty much get the gist of it and that’s awesome for a movie review of a 5th in a series! Still waiting for hitchhikers guide to the galaxy tho Tony!

[@stephaniegiardina9497]

Sidney says her husband's name is Mark while on the phone with Dewey, and Patrick Dempsy from Grey's Anatomy's name in Scream 3 is Mark Kincaid. Considering they wanted to bring him back for 3 but he was unavailable I would think that this is their way of hinting that they are now together, because I don't see that just being some weird coincidence, especially in these movies lol. Also, didn't think about some of those Star Wars connections until you mentioned them so thank you for that Tony 😂

[@stephaniegiardina9497]

Just watched an interview with Radio Silence and they did indeed confirm that it is Mark Kincaid from Scream 3!

[@RobbertNyhan]

I agree with Crystal. As a survivor of my artery literally rupturing in a hospital, Wes could have survived his attack. He was merely stabbed at an angle in the side of his throat. The reason I believe it's not outright said that he's alive, is because he's a minor and the news only reported ONE DEATH during the scene during that whole part! Of course The media isn't going to say he's still alive, he's a minor! He got immediate cops and units there from his mom's orders and whole she didn't survive, I believe he did and would be put into protection elsewhere after healing. Who else agrees with me? I don't think they'd honor Wes Craven with a character named Wes, just to kill him off. I think it's a close call. People have survived worse in this franchise!!

Shouldn't Stab 8 have been the events of SCREAM 4?

[@ryanstauffer119]

Sidney threatened to sue the studio if they used any real events of her story. So that’s why Stab 4-7 were making stuff up. Plus, Charlie and Jill were recording everything in SCRE4M to be uploaded to the internet so everyone can see the real deal. So even after the events of that movie, Sidney would still threaten to sue. If Richie and Amber succeeded in killing Sidney, they could’ve managed to make the events of SCRE4M get adapted into a movie as well.

[@D1NOSAUR1A]

The irony of Tony thinking this is satirizing the people who might have enjoyed the last Ghostbusters movie and not himself, the guy constantly bitching about the new Ghostbuster movies ruining the franchise and literally saying things that sound like lines out of this movie, is almost too much for me to handle. 😂 You literally don't like Afterlife because "it disrespects the original and Hollywood has no creativity".
