Scream reviewed by Mark Kermode

[@thehitherto5348]

I love the meta-justification the Scream instalments have for their existence, and #5 was no exception. It's far from flawless, but I genuinely enjoyed it. Far more than I had expected actually...

[@crobeastness]

i loved the first 3, hated number 4. i just hope its better than number 4.

It is better than 4, but Scream 1-3 are still better imo.

It’s surprising how every single Scream film manages to be successful, the weakest one is Scream 3 but that’s still not even a bad movie

[@CreepingBrutus]

Oddly enough, I was more annoyed by Scream 2 in the theater than any of the sequels. I somehow knew Scream 3 was going to be sillier than the others going into it. Also, remember that this was post Columbine, and that effected the way they approached the violence in the third..that's why it focuses more on humor than violence.

[@NLDlover]

I never found any of the Scream films, including the first one, to be particularly scary but I do think they are a lot of fun. I come to the series as someone who really likes the meta and satirical aspects first and foremost; which is to say I had a blast watching this film. Although never really scared, I do find the chase scenes, stalking, and the face-off between the final girl(s) and the killer, etc. to be thrilling. I appreciated all of the Easter eggs, callbacks, and references and the movie is full of them. But most of all, I like that this movie invested some time and energy into actually getting us familiar with the Gen Z kids in Woodsboro before integrating the legacy trio into the story. In particular, Jenna Ortega and Jasmin Savoy Brown impressed me. David Arquette probably also gives his best performance ever here, giving Dewey a lot of emotional resonance. Overall, people need to not overthink this too much. No one really expects or needs this movie to be a cinematic masterpiece, it just needs to be fun, which it is.

[@DavidFigarland]

[@michaelantonyaustin]

I love the Scream franchise particularly for it self referencing concept. You’re right Mark - Wes Craven’s New Nightmare did it just as well, but was swept under the carpet at the time. Hopefully people will now ‘dig it out’ of the archives and rediscover it’s brilliance.

[@UberNoodle]

So, horror as purely as an aesthetic. This is a common problem with many modern horror movies, from all over the world. Maybe it's a lot of emulation without really understanding what made thir predecessors actually scary, or maybe it's a lack of horror movie making talent. But actual tension and fear in a horror movie is becoming exceedingly rare. Just having shocking violence and gore doesn't make it a good horror film, in my book. Maybe the Scream TV series of a few years ago was better in that regard.

[@UberNoodle]

@@chazharris Interesting. I'm still definitely going to see it. I wouldn't miss it.

[@hihowareyouthen]

Well said ⬆️

[@hihowareyouthen]

I found it enjoyable enough, a decent (and welcome) addition to the franchise. The emotional core with regards to the original cast members surprised me (I may have got something in my eye at one point). What let it down, for me, were some of the younger charisma-free cast members. Jack Quaid was great but the lead girl was so bland and the character development for others was sorely lacking. If you don't care about them then the stakes are exponentially lower. Oh, and so far no one's mentioned the deeply odd CGI Billy? Thoughts?

[@CreepingBrutus]

She was REALLY bland, wasn't she!? I thought I was the only one who thought that. Also, problematic using Billy as almost a sort of guardian angel type near the end.

[@fozzle182]

I watched the original Scream when I was probably too young to watch it (thanks mum!). I still remember that opening scene now, Scream has never been more scary. It felt very 'real' because the characters were aware of horror films. i'd never seen anything like it before.

[@ben_imaging]

The originals were my first horror films when I was far too young (in my primary school!) So they have a special place in my black heart. I thought this was a great film for the fans. A modern update on the meta self-referential gags Scream is known for, with plenty of gore and jumps. I loved the game of cat and mouse it played, building suspense and giving release. It’s not an amazing film, but it’s a great addition to the Scream franchise and exactly what you want from a slasher film, with some bonus humour.

[@speakatron5634]

I'll never call this anything other than Scream 5 😂

[@DMB1986MT]

I enjoyed it but as Mark said, it wasn’t scary. I did find it genuinely funny with David Arquette and Jack Quaid but overall I don’t think the old cast should have returned. The new cast were doing a good enough job without the distraction. Can’t wait for the next one, Scream Kills

[@lpquagmire3621]

I kept expecting Mark to say with great reticence, "It's fine..." 🤗

[@triangleman2k6]

I think the script and performances are stronger than what we saw in Scream 4, and it doesn’t have that feeling of it being obviously rewritten multiple times (no Ehren Krueger this time). I do think it treads on a lot of the same ground covered by the remake/reboot commentary of #4, but I think this one stumbles when you get into the motivations (I was astonished that this film was defending a certain other franchise entry…). The idea of recapturing the magic of the first Scream has been a theme of every single sequel, and Scary Movie even is part of that legacy (which incidentally was released a few months after Scream 3).

[@sweetf2a]

Watched 4 again this week and really enjoyed it. I thought this was worse than 3 even. I did enjoy it but just because I like the series and the returning characters; one of the big problems was how late they appeared and how badly constructed the new characters were.

[@danmann861]

I disagree...Scream 4 was FAR better than this.

[@lordofthereels6790]

I'm loving how full circle this review is taking me with Kermode. I discovered Kermode when I saw a slasher documentary he did after Scream 2 or 3 I think about the state of horror then. From watching his reviews I've since discovered a new favorite slow-burn horror classic like the 73 Wicker Man, Don't Look Now, and The Ninth Configuration. All that to say thank you so much sir for a crash course in horror cinema that's lasted more than a good deal of my scholastic knowledge.

[@j2174]

Scream 4 was ahead of its time. Jill's motive was very now.

[@IgorsDen]

Watched it when it came out and again about six months ago. Both times I found the first half or so a little clunky but the back half made up for it. Much better than the third certainly. Seeing the new one on Tuesday, looking forward to it.

[@attackerangel2951]

This film seemed to be doing exactly what the previous film mocked.

[@CreepingBrutus]

Kermode and I always have the same opinion on horror. This is why I adore him so much. I didn't love this new Scream. It felt like it was more interested in being referred to as a "new scream" than it was in actually trying to make a sequel in a similar vein to the series. It's incredibly tepid and lacks the wit the others had and it doesnt have a single moment where youre actually scared. That wouldn't be as big of a deal if the whole premise of the movie didn't revolve around the idea of being an elevated requel. I also remember how scared I was when I saw the original opening night. Somewhere the franchise forgot about trying to scare the audience and my hope was that this new film would reinject some fear into it. Instead, it's just a visceral slasher with nothing interesting to say. Such a bummer 😕.

The movie was fantastic and watching it at the cinema just added to that experience.

[@addisonjames4870]

I love Wes Craven (RIP) and adore the Scream franchise. Even its faults I love - yes that includes Courtney’s bangs in Scream 3. I was disappointed with this film. Deputy Dewey should be front and center and adding humor; the film uses his character in a lifeless way and overall lacks the wit of the franchise. Pluses: Ghostface’s voice is in top form, and the filmmakers clearly respect Wes Craven a great deal. And the ending is well paced. But the new characters aren’t memorable, for the most part, the legacy characters are jammed in. The film misses Wes’ touch and also, Williamson’s. He should have been the writer on this one - even the director as well. Losing both of those creative forces was too much to overcome. Not bad , for me, but will not be a part of my yearly ScreamAThon either.

Can they STOP calling the sequels the same title as the original film? That’s SO annoying. “I saw Halloween last night.” “The last one?” “No the first one.”

Spot on with this review. I’m a big fan of the franchise and was cautiously optimistic having seen all the positive reviews. I think you put it perfectly by saying that the film is not without merit but I think hardcore fans if the original need to resound their selves with the fact that you can recreate the superiority of the first film.

[@davedecayed8218]

The rewatch value of the first two is the thing keeping me on the hook. Every subsequent sequel has been a disappointment. Even on its own terms the new film is utterly pedestrian. No scares. Same meta jokes trotted out. Please, no more!

Completely agree with the comment about Scary Movie. I saw both around the same time and it completely took the edge out of the film for me - which is a shame because that first sequence, with her hanging from a tree, on paper is really scary

Scary Movie was a parody of a lot of movies, not just Scream.

Yeah, for those of us who were kids/teens at the time, it didn't seem that quick. At 35 now if a film came out this year parodying something from 2018 I might feel differently!

Thank you! Finally someone who acknowledges the shortcomings of this film. I love the original of course. Tense, tight sequences and subtle in its way. So intelligent for a slasher. That's what gives it its longevity. This new instalment... well... I felt for Arquette, Cox and Campbell. The only scenes with any pathos or interest were involving them. Most actors looked incredibly bored. And is there a point where a text becomes so meta that the audience becomes redundant and should just walk out? I felt we were all just sitting there waiting for the film reel to skitter to a halt. Nothing of substance. Nothing to sink our teeth into. The same exact line trotted out like an inferior photocopy, just a couple of decades late.

I just think horror hasn't moved on enough since Scream 4 for them to have played it this safe. The script was as tight as it could be, but too little has really been developed or innovated on specifically in the slasher genre for an entirely new take. Throwing in references to reddit and 4chan and "elevated horror" will only take you so far. *Spoilers* The first killer is exceptionally easy to predict and the motivation of the second doesn't feel connected to the character. I think Kermode's decision to bring in Ready Or Not, since that does a meta-horror without being so obnoxiously self referential.
