Scream (2022)

[MaulFan]

What I love about the Scream series is that the killer is a costume than can be numerous people, so even though you still see your Michael/Freddy/Jason every movie, by being new people under it, it's easier to have sequels and interesting stories. Scream 3 aside, 2 and 4 are really good.

Think I've only seen 3 twice. I really need to rewatch 1-4 over this month.

I don't think I ever saw the fourth one. Not sure I knew it existed.

Scream 3, especially now with 4, feels like “one of these things is not like the other”. It loads a lot more humor and feels less serious than 1, 2 and 4, even casting feels aimed for it and there’s a Jay and Silent Bob cameo.

I don't think I ever saw the fourth one. Not sure I knew it existed.

It’s worth watching, it’s my second favorite in the series, the writing is fantastic and the references and awareness of the genre and state of the world are so good.

I love how 5 is touching upon modern things like land line vs cell and home security mechanisms.

This is interesting, what started as a fan poster by Colm G was turned into a final piece for official marketing from the same artist.

Saw that. Pretty cool of them to give the artist the opportunity.

When I first saw it, I remembered the fan art from awhile back and I was like wow, did they rip off fan art, but something about it looked nicer. I saw a post on Instagram and traced back that the artists who did the official poster was the same one. The official release is nicer, I like the mask more.

The fan poster is nice. I like that version more.

I loved this movie, doesn’t take itself too seriously and currently makes fun of the current horror genre as it is, it even takes a stab at The Last Jedi

 

[greygoose]

I really enjoyed it too. Love the way it pokes fun at pretty much everything.

The YouTube scene where the hosts are complaining about Stab 8 is hilarious.

The kills are brutal too.

Saw it last night. It's pretty good. Way more meta than all the previous films, very nice kills, and some nice surprises. I'd rank it 3rd after 1 and 2.

I thought Ghostface was great in this.

Spoiler:

Dewey's death hit the most. One of the best deaths in the franchise.

I could and couldn't believe they went there, but the film needed stakes.

I thought they might have tried to top that scene and

Spoiler:

kill Sidney at the end too.

It was very cool seeing that person back too.

Spoiler:

I called Richie as the killer from the start. Took a little longer to work out who the second killer was.
It was funny that their whole motive was because they wanted to create a true sequel.

 

[chrisstbh]

So is it still funny like the first Scream? Cause that’s the only one I remember.

Maybe not as funny but still has it's moments. I found myself laughing at all the meta references throughout - very clever.

Spoiler:

I did as well. But I can't buy the chick being able to take out Dewy. Ghostface was clearly taller than every kill, and she wasn't.

The gore was nice. It was a fun romp. Better than the other sequels. I like most of it but the ending reveal. Courtney need to lay off the face lifts......

Isn't that the case for most of the Ghostface killers? I always feel like when the killer is acting as Ghostface, they appear physically bigger on screen.
