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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 17, 2025

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]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 14, 2023

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

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 16, 2023

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

| Aug 9, 2023

Scream once again slices open the horror genre in a clever, meta, & BRUTAL way. Some of the best kills yet some of the best performances yet

| Jul 25, 2023

Scream is a brilliant "requel" with cleverly fascinating meta commentary on the horror genre, toxic fandoms, social media, and much more, ultimately becoming a strong contender for this new year's Top10.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 25, 2023

A pleasing ode towards all four predecessors and Wes Craven himself, Scream is bound to impress the majority of its audience with witty one-liners, gory kills and a whole lot of nostalgia.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2023

Long story short, it does feel as if it has all been done before and that the promising new directors are still trying to find their footing in filling in Craven’s massive shoes. But it’s hard to keep a self-aware slasher down on the entertainment front.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2023

Scream (2022) is the first of the sequels that truly felt unnecessary, and that’s surprising because the movie was clearly made as an act of love for the director of the four original films, Wes Craven, and his legacy.

| Jul 25, 2023

...like with almost every other reboot I’ve seen in the last few years, I wanted it to be so much more. It’s a passably entertaining but also constantly frustrating revisit to a franchise I adore...

| Original Score: C+ | May 3, 2023

I had a ball with it... you really kind of want to lean into it.

| Original Score: B | Mar 15, 2023

[T}his Scream is the burnout C-student younger sibling of a former valedictorian.

| Dec 16, 2022

Unlike the recent James Bond outing, Scream understands its essence and embraces it whole-heartedly.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 22, 2022

Guaranteed to have audiences shrieking and jumping out of their seats, Scream is the most brutal, bloodiest and best film since the original.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 12, 2022

This “requel” (to use the film’s own terminology) cranks up the self-awareness of the already meta film series to deliver a blistering indictment of fandom culture...

| Oct 27, 2022

Whether you want to call it Scream 5 or simply Scream, one thing is certain: This film is a bloody and brash experience, an absolute treat that easily carves out a place as one of the best of the series.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 23, 2022

Scream radically reinvigorates the franchise in ferocious fashion, serving up spooky spectacle and masterful meta commentary on modern horror and fandom.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2022

As someone who loved the original Scream, and the slasher genre in general, I was excited to watch the 2022 version, set in the same town, but 25 years later – and it did not disappoint.

| Aug 31, 2022

Its cultural critiques are no longer well-taken, and this corporate concern stopped being a goof on endless slasher clichés and started simply putting them to work quite a long time ago.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 24, 2022

Perhaps I was wrong for thinking that resuscitating this old franchise meant they had something new to bring to it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 16, 2022
