Scream (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I enjoyed it more than I expected... I laughed quite a bit. Jan 21, 2022 Full Review Scream (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Jenny Nulf Austin Chronicle Scream is a blast, a solid setup for more to come. Jan 20, 2022 Full Review Scream (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 19, 2022 Full Review Scream (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine 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] Rated: 6/10 Sep 14, 2023 Full Review Scream (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Sarah Vincent Cambridge Day While the film tries to evoke the clever, meta film dialogue of the original, terms such as “requel” are better left unspoken. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Scream (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Cris Parker 3C Films (Youtube) Scream 5 successfully revives a beloved series with lovable new faces and reveals that live up to the franchise.

Ian M A pretty solid continuation in the Scream franchise. Just enough nostalgia in the callbacks but a solid new storyline. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Teague Awful acting and awful plot line. This brought the series to a new low. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/16/22 Full Review Joshua Oropeza I'm glad we got another Scream movie. Good story,acts as reboot while still being a sequel to Scream 4,the new characters get good development and their time to shine also including the original main trio back was great,the killer is vicious more brutal,the death scenes are gruesome two of them are shocking completely caught me off guard,pretty good soundtrack,good acting,acts as social commentary to requels,mentions real life topics and gives new rules to survive a horror film,solid writing,has tons of easter eggs/nods to the other Scream movies,major twists,the killer reveal one of them is a surprise the motivation to the killer this time is decent and has a satisfying ending setting up future events. Overall i liked this film it's a fun modern day slasher film and does a great job honoring Wes Craven's legacy and look forward to where the series goes from here. I gave Scream (2022) a 4.5/5 stars!!!
