Amazing! Already saw it 3 times in theaters! Scream never disappoints for me and this movie's commentary on toxic Internet fans going to extremes is spot-on!
I love satire and horror. I was looking forward to watching the movie because of the high rating it's getting and I'm familiar with the franchise.I thought this film was average 5/10. The constant 'shoving the meta commentary down your throat' got really annoying and the side characters were unlikable. The ending was satisfying, not great, not good. Just satisfying.
Scream has always been about social commentary and I’m glad they weren’t afraid of tackling the issue of toxic fandom. They really went for it, and I respect it.
Toxic fandom isn't a real issue. It's just when directors who ruin the franchise and don't respect the original source. This movie was good, but tried so hard to protect Rian Johnson who made the worst Star Wars film. Not liking a bad movie doesn't make you toxic, directors just can't take responsibility anymore.
@@clifflee54 I mean the fact that they call out legacy sequel filmmakers as well as toxic fandom shows they aren't just punching down. Also if you don't think toxic fandom exists, perhaps you should re-visit all the hatred that was thrown at Kelly Marie-Tran driving her off of social media after the release of TLJ. Also, I'm sorry, but Rian Johnson didn't elicit the sheer vitriol and venom hurled his way. He didn't egg anyone on. He was a filmmaker who was targeted and attacked for simply making a film and telling the best Star Wars story he thought he could. Any slight aggression on his part was almost entirely brought about by the constant dogging of toxic fans. This is just one example of toxic fandom, but I assure you it exists in many, MANY different formats across multiple franchises.
@@FilmSpeak KMT wasn't pushed off of social media from hate towards her. She never said it was for attacks on her, but the character. And people considered part of the toxic fandom, such as geeks and gamers, actually supported her. They hate Rose, not Kelly. Rian did an awful job. It felt nothing like a Star Wars movie, and relied a lot on humor. Shirtless Ben and Luke tossing his saber over his shoulder. Leia surviving in space. And much more. Not to mention the feminist Holdo that could've easily explained her plan, but instead had to stick it to the male. He called out all of the fans who agree with me. He was good with Knives Out, because he didn't ruin an established franchise. Most of the fanbases like this are the same way. You need to respect the source material. You can make changes, but not as crazy as tlj. The force communication for example was fine because it's not far fetched. And even if you want to talk about the new scream, they didn't just call out those fans that attack the actors, they mentioned what I stated above. Anybody who has an issue with the writing and storytelling is considered that. Richie explained all of that in the movie.
@@clifflee54 that geeks and gamers guy is one of the most pathetic losers on all of the internet. The guy makes proper embarrassing shit. Long angry videos complaining about....CHILDREN'S films being too woke. It's so so incredible cringe
The thing I like about the commentary is that while they dunk on toxic fandom, what we do see of Stab 8 is pretty hilariously awful. It's like the filmmakers are saying "yeah, we're dunking on fans, but it's not like none if their complaints are legitimate."
@@turma8eac Maybe the creators shouldn’t specifically try to make a movie that’s going to piss people off? Maybe they should understand, that there’s a reason why people like a certain product? Clearly you’ve never seen cobra Kai
Wasn't a fan of Dewey's death. I don't mind it I concept but why he decided to walk all the way up to Ghostface instead of keeping his distance is beyond me
piss poor writing? could have achieved the death without the drama of the walk back- he commits the error because Gale called... WHICH REALLY SHOWED the huge difference in the original without much cell phones and this era.
Dewey was always a poor shot lol. Although in this case if he already suspected that the killer was faking it, walking RIGHT up to them wasn't so bright
Yeah and Amber was very lucky Gale called right as Dewey was gonna shoot her point blank in the face. If Dewey’s phone never rang, Amber would’ve died right there.
What's funny is I just went back and watched Scream 2 and he literally did the same exact thing in the theater room when he left Gale to run off on his own to confront the killer.
This was a fabulous movie on so, so many levels, but the fact that it was a big middle finger to all the psychos out there who send death threats to people in the film industry because their favorite franchise didn't go exactly their way-- that was total chef's kiss. Kudos to Radio Silence and the entire cast on a killer movie.
I hadn't ever watched the Scream movies until recently and I was really impressed even knowing some of the twists going in. And I love the new movie as much as the other ones. This is one of the most solid movie franchises ever made.
I'm really not sure whats happening here, because everyone I've asked about Scream 5 has hated the movie. And then I go online and everyone loves it? I went to go see it myself and it was the product of terrible acting, weak plot points, predictible twists, cheap suspense and cheap jumpscares, forgettable characters, and one of the worst motives for killing I have ever heard of. I think it was the worst piece of film I have ever seen. So like, what the hell is happening? Do people just not have standards for horror films anymore?
@@AussieAlex idk it’s scream I liked it and I do have problems with it but I think people just had low expectations or it was just fun or just love how meda it was
For me personally, I found the new Scream to be better than Scream 3 but still not as great as Scream 2 and 4. It's not a bad movie and I still enjoyed it a lot, but I guess it just didn't grab me like the other sequels did. I did find the motive pretty cool though. The psycho fans deciding to just make their own film now. I still think Scream 4 is the best sequel
Have you rewatched 4 after seeing 5? I used to love 4 but rewatching after 5 it has dropped alot. It may be a better film than 3 but it's not as entertaining as it.
i think it’s just the new cast weren’t developed properly. the whole point of requels is to bring in a new cast and bring back the legacy cast and mix the two together to create something perfect. i think the best they did with this is having dewey and the martha cameo in the randy meeks shrine living room interacting with the new final girls’ friend group and discussing requels and how most of them are goners from the get go and how the killers is sitting right next to them. it’s so creatively smart but the new characters don’t have any buildup due to deleted scenes and runtime which sucks cause i would’ve loved to see wes hicks more, judy hicks more since she’s a legacy character as well, as well as amber (before the reveal as ghostface), and also liv as she’s only here for the hilarious killer reveal and random red herring that goes no where but besides that i think the movie is very well done. 8/10 for me
Scream 4 probably had the weakest opening scene next to Scream 3. Only reasons I like Scream 4 than 3 is the somewhat "elaborate" kills, and Sidney's bad ass presence.
I’m sad dewy died but you can only outrun death for so long especially if you put yourself in the killers crosshairs and I think it was time for one of the legacy characters to die.
Riiiigghhhttt... because that lil twig waif gurl could have eaten those punches, and gone toe to toe with him as long as she did. Stupid writing. After the reveal of one of the killers his death became a joke and the fact yall are like AWWW so sad... no it turned SO DUMB and made it a joke!
@@lalareal180 you also gotta remember dewy is older and has a lot of nerve damage from literally being stabbed in the back TWICE so it is believable that she was able to put up a decent fight.
Scream was a decent film but there is a many things i did not like about the film like the actor who played sam carpenter did a terrible job. Also they shouldn't have had half the people that ghostface attacked survive because it's a horror movie most of the victims should be killed off. Also they shouldn't have killed off dewy , his character is way more powerful then the rest of the og cast.
I don't agree that there is a perfect Scream movie outside of the first one. However, I liked the new movie a lot more than 3 and 4, and I appreciate how hard the filmmakers tried to honor the legacy of the franchise while taking it in a new direction.
Did anyone feel like this movie was missing the tension of the cat and mouse chases from the previous movies? It always came down to how one would try to outsmart the other. The kills in 5 were more quick and brutal but lacked tension building or the excitement of the inventive 'toying with your prey', except from the intro of course.
YES!@ NO CHASE SCENES... NO REAL TENSION.. Nada nothing! Even Stu's house felt small, and not as epic as it did. The way it was filmed was like a soundstage set.
@@lalareal180 Agreed. They presented returning to the house as big deal but did not explore the space and revisiting areas via a chase. And how do none of the kids, including the big sister not know they're at the infamous murder house into this small town?

Love the film, watched it a second time today. After watching Ready or Not, I had high hopes that the two directors (Matt B and Tyler G) would do good for the franchise, and imo, they didn’t disappoint. Dewey’s death is probably my favourite scene in the whole franchise (next to Casey’s of course) - it pacts so much punch on multiple levels and I think the art direction in this scene in particular is just stellar! Ghostface levelled up in this movie that’s for sure.
Are you f'n kidding me? Tell me you have been locked away with COVID for so long to even go there? Really bro? You sayin after the reveal that the skinny twig, character, waif, who weighed maybe 100 pounds could have eaten those punches and gone toe to toe with Dewey the way she was, and not folded after 1 punch? REALLY? YOUR FAV DEATH? Horrid taste. That reveal turned what was a cool scene into an utter joke and the whole audience I saw it was groaned and said YEAH RIGHT, when that tiny frail ghostface hahah, was gloating she was the killer, and here you come saying HOW AMAZING IT WAS AND PACT A PUNCH? hahaha log off!
SPOILERS!!!!!!: He gets gutted after being distracted by a phone call, No epic fight to the death, No showdown. Killed off by a 5'3⅓ girl who turns into a 6'0 stuntman. That's why Dewey couldn't have full on brawl cuz any actual fight wouldn've ended with him wasting the bitch, Also why they had to add in that cringe distracting phone call.
This movie is literally calling out the purists of franchises who become aggressive, obsessive, and think that their opinions are the truth and the only truth. What's funny too me is people say that the killers had no motivation when Billy and Stu didn't have any either, you literally don't need motivation if your fucking INSANE. Going forward they'll definitely be working on fixing the problems of this movie, this was their first run after all and I'd imagine that they have a lot of ideas for Scream 6 and 7.
@@rahbeeuh it is quite hilarious, considering that these are the same people who call the others “snowflakes”, while they act in the same way, if not worse.
Billy had a motive, Stu just helped. Same with the 2nd with Mrs. Loomis, and Mickey just helped to make the news. Roman had a motive. Jill and Charlie wanted fame, which is the most similar to the new one and Mickey. And since Williamson and Craven did 2 and 4, I find it acceptable for Amber and Richie's motive. Although it was calling out a lot of fans that get incorrectly labeled as toxic
This was so well done. I could watch you talk about this film all day. I loved it too apart from some issues like Sidney and Gale not helping Sam getting attacked even though they are literally in a room right next to her.
That was one of two things that bugged me about this otherwise solid film. Sidney and Gale casually walking into the room right as the tension de-escalated was such a buzz kill for me. It was very much avoidable. As Sam was grabbing for the knife, Richie could have risen up and regained the upper hand, and Sidney and Gale could have come in to provide a distraction so that Sam could do her thing. Doing it that way would have balanced out Dewey's fateful distraction as well. Or, you know, since Sid was stabbed and Gale was shot, they could have slowly stumbled into the next room right after the kill, implying that they were too injured to get there any earlier. But no, just have them walk right on in LOL. I'm sure Sam appreciated that. The other thing that bugged me was more forgivable, considering this isn't the 1st Scream movie that did this. Gale was shot, Sidney was stabbed, and Sam got her fair share of injuries too, but let Sam walk around when the ambulances and police arrive, and give Sid and Gale a blanket. I don't know about you, but nothing satisfies a potentially life threatening injury like a good blanket lmao. Obviously they would all be taken to the ER, but not in this franchise 😆. Oh well, still a great film, despite the nitpicking.
That bothered me as well. I was waiting for them to come out and help her but they never did. Other than that and a few issues regarding the Stab movies it was a really good movie.
Scream was a decent film but there is a many things i did not like about the film like the actor who played sam carpenter did a terrible job.

Final fights are happening simultaneously, but film quit the idea transitioning the climax between 2 battles. So, end result looked like Richie was just still standing at the stair while Amber fight going.
“Yes you heard me, I like scream 4” I gotta be honest 4 is my favourite in the franchise. It’s my childhood I bought it when I was 12. And there’s even a 2012 RUclips video of me and an old friend reacting and commenting on it when we were 13-12 still up on RUclips on my old channel. The kills and characters in 4 are just so memorable. Heck I even prefer the killers in 4 to 5 the lowest point of this franchise is scream 3 for me but even 3 gets a 7/10 from me XD
1. Scream - 10 out of 10 2. Scream 2 - 9 out of 10 (criminally underrated) 3. Scream (2022) - 8.5 out of 10 4. Scream 3 - 7 out of 10 5. Scream 4 - 7 out of 10 Scream 2’s impeccable world building by establishing the Stab franchise based on Gale’s book is HIGHLY under appreciated. No way any of these sequels that crib off of Stab can be placed over Scream 2. Not mention it’s brilliant opening sequence and perhaps 3 most intense sequences in the ENTIRE FRANCHISE: Randy’s death, the cop car sequence, and Gale’s film archives chase. Also, Sidney’s role in the play Cassandra is also greatly done. Scream 2 is it phenomenal and it demands respect 🤣
The killer motive is basically just Roman’s but worse. Roman had a reason to try and inspire his own new movie other than being upset about a bad movie. He was mad about what he had to grow up with and what Maureen did to him so he manipulated the whole series to make his “own movie.”
I went to see this in the theaters with my sister on her birthday. It was the first time either of us has been since guardians of the galaxy 1. It was fantastic. My favorite scene by far was between when Sam realizes she’s in stus house & when dewey is reloading his gun to finish ghost face. Also May I just say The acting in this movie was top notch.
17:37 Yes, they offer several other believable options, but would it be fair to say they didn't work hard to throw us off the boyfriend. One he kept popping up every where (listening outside the hospital door, showing up at the hospital first to "help"), when Ghostface (Amber) attacks him, he barely sliced him and everyone other person has gotten stabbed multiple times so you know he in on it, he tried to get one of the twins to go down stairs. He wasnt fooling nobody.
I loved this movie. The fact I see youtubers complaining and calling this woke trash and say it ruined the scream franchise is absolutely hilarious to me since that was the point of contention for this movie hahaha
@Noah Scheid that's a good question. One I have no answer to haha I just know everything is woke trash now and all movies suck or something because of it. It's confusing.
@Noah Scheid maybe haha. Altho a lot of that usually doesn't make sense to me either cuz most the time they misremember everything and get angry over stupid shit. Star Wars "fans" are a good example of this haha as for scream I can't remember exactly what it was exactly just on the top of my head they complained about the movie attacking its fans and making them out to be psycho. Missing the entire point of the movie hahaha
In the beginning of the movie, the killer supposedly knew a lot about hacking, the house security just stopped working, making no sense, are you kidding me? how am I supposed to enjoy this movie? am I what? 7 years old? Front that moment on I was just skipping scenes. The guy murdered by the car, he went to check who was in the car and found no one, the killer is shot 3 times and still manages to pretend dead and pull the knife. Ohh yeah, keep calling this great
The original Scream film is my favorite horror film (though I have never found it scary). I was 14 when it came out in 1996 and it was a blast seeing in the theater for the first time with my dad! So many years later we just saw 5 along with my fiance :), and all three of us loved it. The first one will always be my favorite, but I never expect the FIRST film of anything when seeing a sequel. I think 5 is the best sequel so far, but Scream 2 is also very good (I like all of the sequels). Good for them ripping on the toxic fans! People need to chill, it's just MOVIES, it's art, enjoy it or go enjoy something else. It makes me sick seeing how nasty people get over something so petty. Mean nerds suck, just sad, angry little losers, lol.
None of the Screams are downright bad, but Scream 3 is the closest being just ok. 5 has plenty of points to praise it for, but it’s only pretty good to me; 1 is far and away the best, then it’s part 2, part 4, then this one, and finally 3. The writing here felt clumsier and pretty convenient, plus this film, being a part 5, is simply suffering from the laws of diminishing returns. Also, it has the problem of not being able to properly balance the new cast with the old. Other than Sam, Tara and Richie, the new cast of friends doesn’t get enough screen time to make me really care about them. Mindy was probably the best, but she was still a worse written Randy. Also, just because it calls out toxic fandom doesn’t automatically make it immune to criticism - people yelling “toxic fandom” when someone disagrees with this “requel” is what it is, but sometimes a film is still flawed regardless. And this one is. It’s not bad, but it’s far from great, and I disagree that it’s a perfect Scream movie or that it perfectly walks the tightrope. This is a 6/10, basically tied with part 4.
Scream was a decent film but there is a many things i did not like about the film like the actor who played sam carpenter did a terrible job.

Also they shouldn't have killed off dewy , his character is way more powerful then the rest of the og cast.
**SPOILER** Loved the scene before/when Wes bites it, but I will say I was looking forward to seeing the character outlive Ghostface’s madness. That and Duey’s death were the only ones I didn’t enjoy, but both made sense to the story being told also
@@FilmSpeak absolutely- it was brilliant! In any other movie it would’ve provoked eye rolling and frustration, but it was just the right balance of suspense and playfulness
I loved this film and thought it was great. As someone who likes TLJ a lot, I actually don’t mind seeing people state their problems with the film at all, but when people get aggressive and start Gatekeeping, and then trying to force you to hate the movie as much as they do it becomes toxic and ridiculous. This kind of behavior has been seeping into film discussion ever since that movie released and it’s just made film discussion worse. In comes Scream to absolutely rip modern film discourse a new one. I feel like this film was using the absolutely hyperbolic nature of the situation as a tongue-in-cheek warning. If people keep becoming radicalized by Geeks and Gamers, The Quartering, and other Anti-SJW Star Wars/Disney/film hitpiece channels, the events of this film could easily happen if someone is obsessed enough. Seeing people rip each other apart over films and film discourse after seeing this movie just makes me love the motive and message more and more. People are just proving this film’s point and it’s both scary and hilarious. On top of all this, it was just a great Scream movie in general and it’s my favorite of the sequels. The kills were brutal, Ghostface was unhinged in this film, the shots and cinematography with him were incredible and made him look really menacing. I really enjoyed the new characters, and the tone was great throughout. 9/10 film for me!
It takes two to tango, though. A lot of the toxicity started on twitter when Rian Johnson himself began acting childish toward people who didn't like his film ('mah deek' anyone?) and generally acting smug, refusing to suggest he could make improvements, etc. The smug, superior attitude that hollywood has towards fans, not just toxic fans, but fans in general, is part of the problem, and I don't think a movie that directly attacks that culture without addressing where it can often stem from is very helpful to the discourse; it just furthers the divide, and of course, if you're on the side of the line that the film stands with, it will seem like a victory.
@@roberthesser6402 the film specifically critiques *toxic* *fans* not fans in general. There's a clear difference between the two. In fact I believe Eminem has a term for that *stans*
Yay! I have to say I absolutely loved The Last Jedi too! It was so fresh and totally unexpected and had a great mix of everything that makes Star Wars awesome, but old and new! I was always so surprised how negative reception it got from the fandom, despute critics loving it (4 Academy Award nominations!) Scream 2022 is definitely a nice little commentary on the extremes sometimes these Internet toxic fandom trolls go to prevent their favorite franchises from evolving.
The filmmakers of the last jedi and plenty of other people in hollywood have brought it on themselves. They have spent the last few years saying that anyone who criticizes them are racist sexist alt right trolls. You can't just divide the fans of a classic franchise and then brush off all criticism and not expect people to be upset. Yes toxic fandom exists but there are also toxic people in hollywood that deserve to be called out. That being said I think the new scream did a good job of combining old elements with the new and was a better "requel" than most of the other movies that tried something similar.
I believe Wes Craven would have been proud. I grew up with his movies. I watched them in secret as I was technically underaged, including Scream 1. Scream 2 was the first slasher film I could see in Cinema when I was old enough. Wes was progressive and I’m very confident he would have loved seeing what these younger directors had in visioned for the franchise.
Couldn't agree more. Radio Silence got to the heart of Wes' vision and made a film he very well could've (and probably would've) made himself. You can tell they are true fans and they definitely did the master proud.
I hate speaking for the deceased but this is where I make a exception and ask, Do you really think he would be proud after Dewey's death? In terms of undeserved money and praise sure but don't say Wes would be proud when there's things about the movie that he wouldn't be too happy about.
Your commentary really made me appreciate this film even more. The whole thing just completely clicked for me. I did really love it on my first viewing, but I had some conflicted feelings. I realized what it was when I watched this video. I honestly LOVE your entire take on this, and with it, I realized that my conflicts weren't about the plot at all, but with the characterization of the cast. Now don't get me wrong, I loved all of their performances, however, I do kinda feel that the movie didn't have as much time to develop some of the characters as it usually did with its predecessors. Take Scream 4 for example, I honestly connected with each and every character that formed Jill's friend group. Heck, many people, me included, were wondering about the fate of Kirby for years! (She survived yay!) However, I didn't really feel as much of a connection with this new cast. I appreciate their work and love of the franchise, but they didn't seem as compelling to me as the main characters meant to carry on the series. I think the primary reason for my feelings is the fact that we got our legacy characters way later on in the movie than I would've liked, and only with their arrival does the movie truly shine. I get what they were trying to do with that cast, but I would've liked them to stick with what works best with these movies for that part. It's almost a given that Legacy characters no longer have the LEADING roles in a requel, but I guess that didn't feel that convincing to me with this franchise because come on, Sidney, Gale, and Dewey will always be the face of the Scream movies. I think our main three arriving a bit earlier, and all working together with the new cast, could've enhanced the entire dynamic. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I felt that the new cast worked, but not as well when the movie was trying to paint them as the leads. It was awesome how both sisters got their closure with the killers and basically became the final girl(s), and I did think that constructing the ending around them was actually very nicely done. But it was nice because Sid and Gale were there as sort of supervisors, and that felt like the RIGHT way of blending the old and new. I just wish they had done this for the entirety of the film so that the first act of the movie could feel just as Screamy as the second and third act. Overall though, I'm really pleased with this addition, and as I said, this video made me feel even better about it.
I disagree. Wes Craven ragged on Hollywood, not the fans. While toxic fandom IS a thing, they tried to push Rian Johnson as some kind of misunderstood genius. You can see it in Dewey. They gave him the Luke Skywalker treatment, turning him into a dreary, depressed, washed-up loser. He left Gale, because he didn’t like life in the city? Dewey wouldn’t do that! My problem is not that they killed him (or that they did so in such a stupid way), it’s that they killed his character first. This is the anti-Scream movie in that it takes shots the fans, not Hollywood tropes. They missed the entire point.
I agree. They had to find some way to break up Dewey and Gale because the actors divorced in real life. In my opinion, having characters get together or abruptly break up just to mirror real life is a bad choice most of the time. The writer loses control of the story.
Thank you for breaking this down, i agree. I hate when people hate on stuff i really like bc it makes me second guess my opinion on it. It makes me depressed but im glad other people are loving this as much as i did.
I loved Scream 2022 but Scream 4 will always be the best sequel From worst to best: 5. Scream 3 (I love it anyway) 4. Scream 2 3. Scream 2022 2. Scream 4 1. Scream 1996
I'd switch 2 & 4 but agree with your list. No bad films in this franchise and calling part 3 last is no disrespect because it's really fun & pays off the story of part 1
Scream 4 is not as bad as people make it out to be. Scream 4 did a great job at commenting on horror movie remakes, and even was a legacy sequel before the legacy sequels were popular.
@@FilmSpeak honestly I think if the film was released theatrically in September it probably would have done better financially. I never understood why they released it in April. Also if the film did not have the filter I think people would have liked it more. I think it was a great commentary on the horror genre because it commented on remakes, and also a great commentary on social media since this came out before tik tok and the other apps only got more Prominent overtime.
Scream for me stands out amongst all the other horror franchises for maintaining a quality throughout multiple sequels that no other franchise has got anywhere near. The worst Scream movie (which I think we can broadly agree was 3, yeah?) holds up well against the best that most of the other franchises have to offer.
I loved scream it was the movie I was looking for the killers weren’t the best but they definitely weren’t the worst I liked Richie and the motive they had was great
What I really appreciated about the reveal in this one was it truly could’ve been any of the new characters, they did a good job of making everyone suspicious.
The thing is that a lot of people knew who the killers were but the way it was revealed was amazing. Especially Amber. When she just casually said "I know",pulled the gun and shot Liv,I WAS SHOCKED
Agree to disagree Egon's death was wonderfully done. It showed he would do whatever it would take to keep people safe from the ghost which is completly in chracter of him.
Great video but remember Kevin Williamson created it Scream by you know writing it, I know Wes was incredibly influential and was a pivotal part of its success but let’s not forget Kevin
The way people talk about Wes Craven you'd think he created the franchise. I understand his contribution to the films but I hardly ever hear of Kevin Williamson
Think about it they set up for more movies , one I don’t this stu’s nephew is dead or I think they are part of tho like his family, I don’t think ghostface will turn into a cult, and I think their going to go to college after this with the meek nephew playing sports
This is far from a perfect scream movie. So many people are extremely stupid the police don't show up in broad daylight for endless minutes even though a cop calls another cop lol The bad guys are extremely predictable. I don't know what crack these people were smoking it didn't scare me not even one time. And I was excited for this movie and I didn't have high expectations It barely met medium expectations if I had those lol
I think we should also talk about the toxic Fandom that calls people stupid, crybaby, or toxic for not liking that "different" movie. The Last Jedi in my opinion was dogshit. And I think it's pretty toxic to tell me I'm toxic for not liking it 🤷♂️
Good movie overall but it’s got some serious plot related issues and Scream 4 already told this story better. I’m also really struggling to understand what Gale and Sidney had to offer here? Gale had one cool line and then was instantly shot…
I completely agree with what you said. I watched it last week and it was amazing. I grew up with the scream movies and i think this is a really solid sequel . I enjoyed the new cast and was amazed by the legacy characters especially Dewey . Ever since i rewatched all the movies he became my favorite character and he so good in the new movie. From the new cast my favorite was definitely Tara. Jenna Ortega did an excellent job.
So glad you loved it! Yeah I think it clicks super well when you watch the entire series and then go into it. Dewey becomes 10x better than he already was and he was already perfect and omg Jenna Ortega is a revelation. Can't wait to see what she does next!
Scream was a decent film but there is a many things i did not like about the film like the actor who played sam carpenter did a terrible job. Also they shouldn't have had half the people that ghostface attacked survive because it's a horror movie most of the victims should be killed off. Also they shouldn't have killed off dewy , his character is way more powerful then the rest of the og cast.
In the video description you have written this ''Similar to how The Matrix Resurrections perfected the legacy sequel, Scream 5 or Scream (2022) has now followed suit standing shoulder to shoulder with the genius of Lana Wachowski's Matrix 4''. Um, was that a joke? 🤔You find Matrix 4 good?? WTF 😦
my movie theatre was completely empty and you know that scene when the girl that knows stuff about horror movies is watching stab 1 and theres this dude that knows everything about horror movies, stab 1 of course being a mock of the first movie which in this characters universe is what actually happened, so for one moment i legit thought i was about to get stabbed i got the ultimate watching experience i think.
I hated the motive once the film ended due to the entitled persona it gave to the characters. But after discussing the movie with my girlfriend, I enjoy the stance that Radio Silence took. It is in my opinion a great squeal. It is basically a remaking of the first but in the modern era. But not too similar that you feel like you are just re-watching the first film. And to the fans that speak negatively and despise this movie, it plays right into the filmmaker's hand. I believe Wes would be proud of the way the movie turned out.
The way they made fun of fans is so incredibly jarring. I feel like the only people who like the "social commentary" are those who sit on Twitter and call other fans toxic.
Every time someone says "the Last Jedi was hated because it was different" I feel compelled to point out that it was hated because it was *disrespectful and destructive.* Rian Johnson has shown repeatedly in his Knives Out franchise that he, personally, has no respect for his audience or for genre fiction as a whole. He is a man that likes to take sledgehammers to old buildings, but has no plans to renovate. That irreverence and mindless destruction is what resulted in Rise of Skywalker- because Rian destroyed the foundation and left no blueprints to build upon. Hell, Glass Onion is basically a confession of this fact, though how intentional that was is debatable. *Different* is okay. *Destructive* can be okay, *as long as you have plans to build.* *Disrespectful* is not okay. Scream 5 succeeds where Last Jedi failed largely because Radio Silence are not irreverent- and indeed it would be unbelievably tasteless to be irreverent in a memoriam film.
The thing is the last Jedi did deserve hate rian Johnson pushed that movie into a corner that there was no way a 3rd movie could carry on imo I also don’t think it was toxic fandom either the characters story arcs made zero sense when dealing with Star Wars there was no justice only SJW pandering and terrible story telling
The Billy Loomis is my daddy reveal was absolutely devoid of any depth. Who was her mother? Maybe I glossed over that but I'm pretty sure it wasn't part of the movie.
1:41 what are you talking about, lots of people love scream 4 and I think it’s the the second best scream, if you haven’t seen it in a while give it a rewatch and try to enjoy it
Ok so I'm going to be a toxic fan and say I thought the kills were very dull. The only one that died to not-stabbing was Amber. Yes, it's a slasher, so slashing is to be expected, but there was nothing that even remotely comparable to the original's memorable garage door kill. I find the lack of variety to be a missed opportunity and especially ironic, considering how the killer's motive was literally "giving the fans what they want".
Scream is exactly what the audience wanted, a meta commentary on all the slasher films we used to watch growing up, or inject fun and personality into what was a subgenre of film that got a little stale. Not for me, but certiantly for all the audiences of the late 80's, particularly with holiday horror slasher and supernatural slasher. There was just too many slashers all copying one another and many copying Halloween. That is what created the template for a 80s slasher even though it was far from being the first. The facts of the matter is that Alice Sweet Alice, The Town that Dreaded Sundown, Madhouse, Black Christmas, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th and Peeping Tom being the actual first one, combined with Halloween is what sparked the subgenre. It helped amalgamate into Halloween, with the standouts being Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th which made a huge impact on horror at the time. Scream was ones first foray into slasher again for over a decade and made a big impact on me watching it as a adult. It made me love slasher alot even before I knew the term, I had to watch other films like it. So I found Valentine, My Bloody Valentine, Urban Legends, I Know what you did Last Summer, Child's Play 1-3, Leprechaun, Wishmaster, Candyman, Dentist, Dr. Giggles, Hellraiser and so forth that just kept on getting sequels and made horror what its regarded as like to do this day; creepy, scary, sinister, campy, cheesy, atmospheric, tense and tropey. I still highly treasure atleast most of those to this day. Scream is the kind of movie that will not be too serious about its subject matter, but goes kinda goofy and humorous when you think it should be much more serious or nonchalant. The killers are what the film is really about, its a whodunit at the end of the day and "Everybodies a suspect!". You want to figure it out along the way but atleast in the first 3 movies its really damn difficult. Perhaps not impossible but you can get the sense that this movie was on the pulse of slasher and horror by being the first to do a bunch of things we hadn't expected. Difficult to discern motives, killer that seems to get away with murder too easily but the victims seem to fight back effectively, the killer showing up where you don't expect him or her, and not to mention all the commentary. Whats the most scary thing about slashers and horror, how to get away with murder, what makes a person a killer, never blame movies for what people do e.t.c. You get all of this long before new generation period of slasher recently with a string of remakes and requels. This movie got there first on all counts. What keeps people coming back to scream is I think the killer and his or her motivation or perhaps multiple killers motivations and how that worked its way into a background plot.
I thought the movie was enjoyable. My only gripe is a few of the weird choices for dialogue. The ending scenes with all of them in the kitchen was a replication of the first movie, yet Ritchie and Amber’s personas became really cartoony.
I think I was on the few that thought it was meh. Their reason for killing was just awful. And it was pretty obvious who were the killers. Plus the friend group accused each other, to the point I don't think they were actually friends
This movie felt rushed to me. The story was lacking, ending and killers were lame, and the characters were so one dimensional. It wasn't even as good as scream 4. It was better than 3 though. Movies nowadays always have to have a deeper meaning and be socially aware. Whatever happened to when movies were just fun.
Okay so Billy Loomis is her dad but who is her mom? I missed that part. cuz obviously she would have had to have already been born before the advance of first movie since he died at the end right? It can't be Sydney since she was a v until the end of the movie right?
I would have been okay with the fandom take IF they had gone with the "remake it themselves" POV. It was set up with the light in the mask... but they didn't go with it?
To me Scream 2022 was just another Scream sequel, it was OK, on par with Scream 3 and had many similarities with Scream 4. It had a few good moments but brought nothing new to the table and it became the very thing it was making fun of - in a bad way. For whatever reason I was convinced that the killer is gonna be Stuart from the original Scream but I was wrong, that would have been awesome. Seeing Billy Loomis back gave me goosebumps but Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox looked like they were forced to be on the set and their characters were poorly written, Dewey was by far my favourite character out of the old cast and out of the new cast Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega did a very good job. 6.5/10
12:17 except everyone else, unmasked the killer, and then shot them in the head. The way it happens in the movie its like Dewey forgot his keys or something, and not like he's done this four times before, read books about it, and seen eight movies of it being done before.
So on the death itself. Ghostface stabs Dewey and then lifts him off the ground. Pretty coo...at the end it was reveal that Amber (looks about 17 and 108lbs) did that? This movie was pretty good until the reveals. Wanting to make a new better STAB franchise, wasn't that the reasoning of the last duo Ghostface?
My issue with this toxic fandom angle is that it’s an easy out if your movie isn’t that strong..Which scream 2022 is not that strong. So now if you don’t like it it’s very easy for someone to say “well you are the exact toxic fans the movie is referencing” when really it’s a movie with many issues. Definitely some cool parts but the bad outweighs the good in my opinion.
they cant take responsibility for their shit movie so they will call their fandom a bunch of racists, sexists, homophobes...even when many of them r coloured people, women, and lgbt..........................
I loved it and had so much fun watching it! The only part I wasn’t to fond of were the Billy hallucinations. It brought a supernatural aspect to the movie that I felt was a little too on the nose and was kind of unnecessary. But other than that the movie was great. The attacks/kills were brutal and emotional and really made you empathize with the characters.
it wasn't supernatural literal ghost moments or hallucinations. It's a visual representation of internal thoughts and struggles. Instead of talking to herself and her own internal dialouge which is something a lot of us do all the time it's him as that representation. her inner darkness and fear of becoming a killer herself.
@@greggcampbell7152 that was a nightmare visualized so we don't just see her shaking on the couch you fool. lol all movies visualize dream sequences. There was nothing supernatural going on.
@@guitarman0365 It was dumb. You cant explain it away. Her seeing her dead father, she never knew, in his scream outfit, she never saw him in lmao, was complete fan service. Hush. Now try to deepen that honey... lame!
@@lalareal180 What do you mean she never knew ? He was literally famous in their universe. When they're at the friend's house discussing the prequel, Billy is literally shown on the TV they're watching. The Stab characters were dressed just like the originals so it's not hard for her to envision him wearing a white shirt. You're very unimaginative.
And it was talked about in the news like "Star Wars fans express disappointment over The Last Jedi on social media" rather than "entitled crybabies harass actress because she acted in a movie they didn't like". Absolute truth and that's a fact!
Love this video made me realize in scream 5 that not only were the killers fans of stab like how Billy and Stu were fans of horror movies but also both the writers are fans and it makes me appreciatethe motive more
Scream was a decent film but there is a many things i did not like about the film like the actor who played sam carpenter did a terrible job. Also they shouldn't have had half the people that ghostface attacked survive because it's a horror movie most of the victims should be killed off. Also they shouldn't have killed off dewy , his character is way more powerful then the rest of the og cast.
Guess alot of people will blindly defend poorly written characters with zero development or effort these days. Movie was a solid 4/10 for me; Really missed the charm of what made Scream, Scream. I actually had to go back and rewatch the originals to confirm if I was missing something, or maybe I had loved the originals from a purely nostalgic point of view; And, nope, that's not what it was at all, this new film just sucked. Heavy agree to disagree.
Completely agree. It’s a modern day soulless Horror film with youthful teens with inconsistent acting and dialogue written by older people who do not know how young people talk. The twist was Lame as hell and it really thought it was more clever than it was
after she was shot multiple times too. Dewey may as well have just bent over with his ass facing the killer waiting for her to shank him up the butt. It would have been amusing at least.
****SPOILERS BELOW***** I watched it a bunch of times and I really do like it. I've had some minor issues, but overall the characters are really great in this one. I think Tara has the best part / performance. I didn't know how she was going to hang in there or make it until the end, but I was pleasantly surprised. Mason and Jasmin were great and I was SO happy they both made it. Sam was.....just ok for me. She's going to have to up her game if there are sequels. I don't know, she's no Sidney. But no one will ever be so....I also not crazy about the Billy Loomis visions. They did a good job with the de-aging, but it felt shlocky. They could have developed Vince just a tad bit more. I picked out the killers as soon as the trailer hit. But I think they made it super obvious on purpose and I really don't think it took away from the reveal at all. That being said, Sid, Dewey, and Gale killed it this time. They were badass and it was the best acting they've done in all the movies, in my opinion. "You killed my best friend! F**k you!!! Enjoy that torch!!!!!!" And Dewey's death was sad but necessary. It did help the story along. They easily didn't need to stop for that inhaler at that party. And seriously , what the hell were Sidney and Gale doing in the kitchen while Sam was killing Ritchie in the next room? Having a cocktail? Toasting torching Amber? Minor issues aside, it was a terrific entry. Great analysis!
Scream 2022 is the type of movie that will only be propped up by the sequel that follows it. By itself it’s an okay scream movie. But, if the stories they tell based off the seeds they started to plant in this movie, it has potential to be part of a great trilogy. Ghostface was the only shinning light in this movie, and NOT the killers under the mask either. Richie and Amber were red flags a mile away and when they were revealed, I was critically underwhelmed. I was upset that they didn’t trick me with a fast one…instead they struck me out mentally with a floating slow ball.
I’m genuinely shocked that this movie is getting genuine praise like this, in my opinion it’s a watered down, attempt to recapture the lightning that only Wes Craven really understood. I adore the opening of the film but the rest falls so incredibly short that it hurts.
I'd rather just watch the first scream again. Considering most the lines were just taken directly from the first scream. I was actually excited to watch this movie, but then I started watching... I must say the acting was oof... bad to say the least, the writing was... trash. Zero originality.
1000% agree with all of this. No one will ever change my mind about the 5th installment. It's literally THEE PERFECT "requel." This is how it's done, and this is why I love Kevin Williamson as a writer.
There's a lot to be said in it's favour, but perfect? It fell short in one really major way for me - the killers were more obvious in this one than any others; now you can argue that Scream 2 and Scream 6 cheat quite a bit in terms of hiding their killers' identities, but even taking that into account, I immediately suspected both of the actual killers on their first introduction and was never really given a reason to change my mind. I've not successfully identified the killers on first watching any of the others, so I found that disappointing. Also not sure it fully holds together (which is weird given that I was also convinced who the killers were) for a number of reasons: (1) The opening attack on Tara was too frenzied for the killers to be sure she'd survive, and they really need her to survive (2) Richie must have been in Woodsboro for the opening attack on Tara and somehow got quickly back to Sam in order to return to Woodsboro with her. Logistical nightmare at the very least (3) How confident does Richie have to be for this plot to play out? He was so sure he'd be able to charm his way into Sam's life, and so sure that she'd let him accompany her back to Woodsboro (and so confident that Sam would go; the way her and Tara's relationship is played in the early part of the movie that's far from a given, and whilst you could argue that he got to know Sam so well he could predict her return, the plan pre-dates him getting to know her)

Scream 2022 sucked balls
Amazing! Already saw it 3 times in theaters! Scream never disappoints for me and this movie's commentary on toxic Internet fans going to extremes is spot-on!
Didn’t watch your review. Read the title and just wanted to say you are out of your mind.
@@secularbelt watch the video then
I love satire and horror. I was looking forward to watching the movie because of the high rating it's getting and I'm familiar with the franchise.I thought this film was average 5/10. The constant 'shoving the meta commentary down your throat' got really annoying and the side characters were unlikable. The ending was satisfying, not great, not good. Just satisfying.
Scream has always been about social commentary and I’m glad they weren’t afraid of tackling the issue of toxic fandom. They really went for it, and I respect it.
Absolutely! Wes would be proud.
Toxic fandom isn't a real issue. It's just when directors who ruin the franchise and don't respect the original source. This movie was good, but tried so hard to protect Rian Johnson who made the worst Star Wars film. Not liking a bad movie doesn't make you toxic, directors just can't take responsibility anymore.
@@clifflee54 I mean the fact that they call out legacy sequel filmmakers as well as toxic fandom shows they aren't just punching down. Also if you don't think toxic fandom exists, perhaps you should re-visit all the hatred that was thrown at Kelly Marie-Tran driving her off of social media after the release of TLJ. Also, I'm sorry, but Rian Johnson didn't elicit the sheer vitriol and venom hurled his way. He didn't egg anyone on. He was a filmmaker who was targeted and attacked for simply making a film and telling the best Star Wars story he thought he could. Any slight aggression on his part was almost entirely brought about by the constant dogging of toxic fans. This is just one example of toxic fandom, but I assure you it exists in many, MANY different formats across multiple franchises.
@@FilmSpeak KMT wasn't pushed off of social media from hate towards her. She never said it was for attacks on her, but the character. And people considered part of the toxic fandom, such as geeks and gamers, actually supported her. They hate Rose, not Kelly. Rian did an awful job. It felt nothing like a Star Wars movie, and relied a lot on humor. Shirtless Ben and Luke tossing his saber over his shoulder. Leia surviving in space. And much more. Not to mention the feminist Holdo that could've easily explained her plan, but instead had to stick it to the male. He called out all of the fans who agree with me. He was good with Knives Out, because he didn't ruin an established franchise. Most of the fanbases like this are the same way. You need to respect the source material. You can make changes, but not as crazy as tlj. The force communication for example was fine because it's not far fetched. And even if you want to talk about the new scream, they didn't just call out those fans that attack the actors, they mentioned what I stated above. Anybody who has an issue with the writing and storytelling is considered that. Richie explained all of that in the movie.
@@clifflee54 that geeks and gamers guy is one of the most pathetic losers on all of the internet. The guy makes proper embarrassing shit. Long angry videos complaining about....CHILDREN'S films being too woke. It's so so incredible cringe
The thing I like about the commentary is that while they dunk on toxic fandom, what we do see of Stab 8 is pretty hilariously awful. It's like the filmmakers are saying "yeah, we're dunking on fans, but it's not like none if their complaints are legitimate."
Yes this. And also that not everyone who dislikes Stab 8 are bad people, ie Mindy Meeks.
Fair, but no fandom is allowed to threaten and strongarm the creators regardless of how bad the end product is
@@turma8eac Maybe the creators shouldn’t specifically try to make a movie that’s going to piss people off? Maybe they should understand, that there’s a reason why people like a certain product? Clearly you’ve never seen cobra Kai
@@LetsGetitBoah Richie is that you?
@@LetsGetitBoah Amber! Get off RUclips and seek therapy.
Wasn't a fan of Dewey's death. I don't mind it I concept but why he decided to walk all the way up to Ghostface instead of keeping his distance is beyond me
He had to be a hero
piss poor writing? could have achieved the death without the drama of the walk back- he commits the error because Gale called... WHICH REALLY SHOWED the huge difference in the original without much cell phones and this era.
Dewey was always a poor shot lol. Although in this case if he already suspected that the killer was faking it, walking RIGHT up to them wasn't so bright
Yeah and Amber was very lucky Gale called right as Dewey was gonna shoot her point blank in the face. If Dewey’s phone never rang, Amber would’ve died right there.
What's funny is I just went back and watched Scream 2 and he literally did the same exact thing in the theater room when he left Gale to run off on his own to confront the killer.
This was a fabulous movie on so, so many levels, but the fact that it was a big middle finger to all the psychos out there who send death threats to people in the film industry because their favorite franchise didn't go exactly their way-- that was total chef's kiss. Kudos to Radio Silence and the entire cast on a killer movie.
1000 languages and you decided to speak facts. Any person who has a problem with the motive of the new killers are nothing but weirdos.
I don't think they could have made the meta commentary better - it's just perfect.
@@georgek2222 agree 100%. Scream will forever be the standard of how movies of its kind should be made.
@NoahsRaptor aw you mad
@NoahsRaptor Just because you hated it doesn't mean everyone hates it or that everyone will forever hate it. Kindly stop.
I hadn't ever watched the Scream movies until recently and I was really impressed even knowing some of the twists going in. And I love the new movie as much as the other ones. This is one of the most solid movie franchises ever made.
It really is! There truly hasn't ever been a bad Scream movie and new ones come around right as the pop culture zeitgeist needs them.
@@FilmSpeak yah And even when people say scream 3 is the weakest of them I haven’t heard them say it was bad
@@greenscreenmovieguy5582 even though I genuinely dislike 3, it's far from a terrible film, just not a particularly good scream movie.
I'm really not sure whats happening here, because everyone I've asked about Scream 5 has hated the movie. And then I go online and everyone loves it? I went to go see it myself and it was the product of terrible acting, weak plot points, predictible twists, cheap suspense and cheap jumpscares, forgettable characters, and one of the worst motives for killing I have ever heard of. I think it was the worst piece of film I have ever seen.
So like, what the hell is happening? Do people just not have standards for horror films anymore?
@@AussieAlex idk it’s scream I liked it and I do have problems with it but I think people just had low expectations or it was just fun or just love how meda it was
For me personally, I found the new Scream to be better than Scream 3 but still not as great as Scream 2 and 4.
It's not a bad movie and I still enjoyed it a lot, but I guess it just didn't grab me like the other sequels did.
I did find the motive pretty cool though. The psycho fans deciding to just make their own film now.
I still think Scream 4 is the best sequel
Have you rewatched 4 after seeing 5? I used to love 4 but rewatching after 5 it has dropped alot. It may be a better film than 3 but it's not as entertaining as it.
That’s a fair and valid opinion for example I loved this film more than the other Scream sequels
i think it’s just the new cast weren’t developed properly. the whole point of requels is to bring in a new cast and bring back the legacy cast and mix the two together to create something perfect. i think the best they did with this is having dewey and the martha cameo in the randy meeks shrine living room interacting with the new final girls’ friend group and discussing requels and how most of them are goners from the get go and how the killers is sitting right next to them. it’s so creatively smart but the new characters don’t have any buildup due to deleted scenes and runtime which sucks cause i would’ve loved to see wes hicks more, judy hicks more since she’s a legacy character as well, as well as amber (before the reveal as ghostface), and also liv as she’s only here for the hilarious killer reveal and random red herring that goes no where but besides that i think the movie is very well done. 8/10 for me
@@beadsandbeard I love 4. I rewatched the other day after seeing 5 and it still holds up as my favorite sequel haha
Scream 4 probably had the weakest opening scene next to Scream 3. Only reasons I like Scream 4 than 3 is the somewhat "elaborate" kills, and Sidney's bad ass presence.
I’m sad dewy died but you can only outrun death for so long especially if you put yourself in the killers crosshairs and I think it was time for one of the legacy characters to die.
Riiiigghhhttt... because that lil twig waif gurl could have eaten those punches, and gone toe to toe with him as long as she did. Stupid writing. After the reveal of one of the killers his death became a joke and the fact yall are like AWWW so sad... no it turned SO DUMB and made it a joke!
@@lalareal180 you also gotta remember dewy is older and has a lot of nerve damage from literally being stabbed in the back TWICE so it is believable that she was able to put up a decent fight.
Well Tatum is waiting for him in The Good Place and they're going to have so much fun.

@@lalareal180 also remember that the mask somehow gives the person wearing it unusual strength and endurance, part of the meta on horror movies.
I don't agree that there is a perfect Scream movie outside of the first one. However, I liked the new movie a lot more than 3 and 4, and I appreciate how hard the filmmakers tried to honor the legacy of the franchise while taking it in a new direction.
Did anyone feel like this movie was missing the tension of the cat and mouse chases from the previous movies? It always came down to how one would try to outsmart the other. The kills in 5 were more quick and brutal but lacked tension building or the excitement of the inventive 'toying with your prey', except from the intro of course.
YES!@ NO CHASE SCENES... NO REAL TENSION.. Nada nothing! Even Stu's house felt small, and not as epic as it did. The way it was filmed was like a soundstage set.
@@lalareal180 Agreed. They presented returning to the house as big deal but did not explore the space and revisiting areas via a chase. And how do none of the kids, including the big sister not know they're at the infamous murder house into this small town?

@@JoeyFromDKOldies scream 2022 was complete 💩
I think Scream 4 was the better sequel cause it felt the most realistic with how people will do anything for fame
Love the film, watched it a second time today. After watching Ready or Not, I had high hopes that the two directors (Matt B and Tyler G) would do good for the franchise, and imo, they didn’t disappoint. Dewey’s death is probably my favourite scene in the whole franchise (next to Casey’s of course) - it pacts so much punch on multiple levels and I think the art direction in this scene in particular is just stellar! Ghostface levelled up in this movie that’s for sure.
Forgot to add… great video! Loved watching this.
Thank you so much! Glad you loved the film.
Are you f'n kidding me? Tell me you have been locked away with COVID for so long to even go there? Really bro? You sayin after the reveal that the skinny twig, character, waif, who weighed maybe 100 pounds could have eaten those punches and gone toe to toe with Dewey the way she was, and not folded after 1 punch? REALLY? YOUR FAV DEATH? Horrid taste. That reveal turned what was a cool scene into an utter joke and the whole audience I saw it was groaned and said YEAH RIGHT, when that tiny frail ghostface hahah, was gloating she was the killer, and here you come saying HOW AMAZING IT WAS AND PACT A PUNCH? hahaha log off!
SPOILERS!!!!!!: He gets gutted after being distracted by a phone call, No epic fight to the death, No showdown.
Killed off by a 5'3⅓ girl who turns into a 6'0 stuntman.
That's why Dewey couldn't have full on brawl cuz any actual fight wouldn've ended with him wasting the bitch, Also why they had to add in that cringe distracting phone call.
@@lalareal180 YOU are literally what this film is commenting on. Could you be any more cliche ??
This movie is literally calling out the purists of franchises who become aggressive, obsessive, and think that their opinions are the truth and the only truth. What's funny too me is people say that the killers had no motivation when Billy and Stu didn't have any either, you literally don't need motivation if your fucking INSANE. Going forward they'll definitely be working on fixing the problems of this movie, this was their first run after all and I'd imagine that they have a lot of ideas for Scream 6 and 7.
Billy had a motive he blames sidneys mom for his parents divorce because his dad was having an a fair with her.
That's why so many of them dislike the movie. No one likes getting called out so I get it but it's interesting to watch it play out in real time
@@rahbeeuh it is quite hilarious, considering that these are the same people who call the others “snowflakes”, while they act in the same way, if not worse.
Billy had a motive, Stu just helped. Same with the 2nd with Mrs. Loomis, and Mickey just helped to make the news. Roman had a motive. Jill and Charlie wanted fame, which is the most similar to the new one and Mickey. And since Williamson and Craven did 2 and 4, I find it acceptable for Amber and Richie's motive. Although it was calling out a lot of fans that get incorrectly labeled as toxic
Billy had a motive and when billy was explaining it to Sidney Stu looked so surprise like he didn’t know that was the reason that they did this
whilst the film “pokes fun” as you say, it doesn’t do anything with the commentary it makes…
This was so well done. I could watch you talk about this film all day. I loved it too apart from some issues like Sidney and Gale not helping Sam getting attacked even though they are literally in a room right next to her.
That was one of two things that bugged me about this otherwise solid film. Sidney and Gale casually walking into the room right as the tension de-escalated was such a buzz kill for me. It was very much avoidable. As Sam was grabbing for the knife, Richie could have risen up and regained the upper hand, and Sidney and Gale could have come in to provide a distraction so that Sam could do her thing. Doing it that way would have balanced out Dewey's fateful distraction as well. Or, you know, since Sid was stabbed and Gale was shot, they could have slowly stumbled into the next room right after the kill, implying that they were too injured to get there any earlier. But no, just have them walk right on in LOL. I'm sure Sam appreciated that.
The other thing that bugged me was more forgivable, considering this isn't the 1st Scream movie that did this. Gale was shot, Sidney was stabbed, and Sam got her fair share of injuries too, but let Sam walk around when the ambulances and police arrive, and give Sid and Gale a blanket. I don't know about you, but nothing satisfies a potentially life threatening injury like a good blanket lmao. Obviously they would all be taken to the ER, but not in this franchise 😆. Oh well, still a great film, despite the nitpicking.
That bothered me as well. I was waiting for them to come out and help her but they never did. Other than that and a few issues regarding the Stab movies it was a really good movie.
Scream was a decent film but there is a many things i did not like about the film like the actor who played sam carpenter did a terrible job. Also they shouldn't have had half the people that ghostface attacked survive because it's a horror movie most of the victims should be killed off.

Final fights are happening simultaneously, but film quit the idea transitioning the climax between 2 battles. So, end result looked like Richie was just still standing at the stair while Amber fight going.
“Yes you heard me, I like scream 4”
I gotta be honest 4 is my favourite in the franchise. It’s my childhood I bought it when I was 12. And there’s even a 2012 RUclips video of me and an old friend reacting and commenting on it when we were 13-12 still up on RUclips on my old channel.
The kills and characters in 4 are just so memorable. Heck I even prefer the killers in 4 to 5 the lowest point of this franchise is scream 3 for me but even 3 gets a 7/10 from me XD
Scream 4 hate makes absolutely no sense to me at all, feels like no one’s actually watched it before.
@@nicholas.wilder couldn’t agree more!
@@nicholas.wilder true scream 4 was masterpiece
1. Scream - 10 out of 10
2. Scream 2 - 9 out of 10 (criminally underrated)
3. Scream (2022) - 8.5 out of 10
4. Scream 3 - 7 out of 10
5. Scream 4 - 7 out of 10
Scream 2’s impeccable world building by establishing the Stab franchise based on Gale’s book is HIGHLY under appreciated. No way any of these sequels that crib off of Stab can be placed over Scream 2. Not mention it’s brilliant opening sequence and perhaps 3 most intense sequences in the ENTIRE FRANCHISE: Randy’s death, the cop car sequence, and Gale’s film archives chase. Also, Sidney’s role in the play Cassandra is also greatly done. Scream 2 is it phenomenal and it demands respect 🤣
The killer motive is basically just Roman’s but worse. Roman had a reason to try and inspire his own new movie other than being upset about a bad movie. He was mad about what he had to grow up with and what Maureen did to him so he manipulated the whole series to make his “own movie.”
I went to see this in the theaters with my sister on her birthday. It was the first time either of us has been since guardians of the galaxy 1. It was fantastic. My favorite scene by far was between when Sam realizes she’s in stus house & when dewey is reloading his gun to finish ghost face. Also May I just say The acting in this movie was top notch.
17:37 Yes, they offer several other believable options, but would it be fair to say they didn't work hard to throw us off the boyfriend. One he kept popping up every where (listening outside the hospital door, showing up at the hospital first to "help"), when Ghostface (Amber) attacks him, he barely sliced him and everyone other person has gotten stabbed multiple times so you know he in on it, he tried to get one of the twins to go down stairs. He wasnt fooling nobody.
The quality was there but I feel the passion wasn’t. It’s not a terrible movie but it’s definitely not great. 6/10
Kevin Williamson never gets enough credit for his brilliance in these videos
I loved this movie. The fact I see youtubers complaining and calling this woke trash and say it ruined the scream franchise is absolutely hilarious to me since that was the point of contention for this movie hahaha
I can't even remember anything that could be considered "woke"
@@Gabi-ub8md There wasn't anything woke in it. A few youtubers are calling it woke trash tho
@Noah Scheid that's a good question. One I have no answer to haha I just know everything is woke trash now and all movies suck or something because of it. It's confusing.
@Noah Scheid maybe haha. Altho a lot of that usually doesn't make sense to me either cuz most the time they misremember everything and get angry over stupid shit. Star Wars "fans" are a good example of this haha as for scream I can't remember exactly what it was exactly just on the top of my head they complained about the movie attacking its fans and making them out to be psycho. Missing the entire point of the movie hahaha
In the beginning of the movie, the killer supposedly knew a lot about hacking, the house security just stopped working, making no sense, are you kidding me? how am I supposed to enjoy this movie? am I what? 7 years old? Front that moment on I was just skipping scenes. The guy murdered by the car, he went to check who was in the car and found no one, the killer is shot 3 times and still manages to pretend dead and pull the knife. Ohh yeah, keep calling this great
The original Scream film is my favorite horror film (though I have never found it scary). I was 14 when it came out in 1996 and it was a blast seeing in the theater for the first time with my dad! So many years later we just saw 5 along with my fiance :), and all three of us loved it. The first one will always be my favorite, but I never expect the FIRST film of anything when seeing a sequel. I think 5 is the best sequel so far, but Scream 2 is also very good (I like all of the sequels). Good for them ripping on the toxic fans! People need to chill, it's just MOVIES, it's art, enjoy it or go enjoy something else. It makes me sick seeing how nasty people get over something so petty. Mean nerds suck, just sad, angry little losers, lol.
None of the Screams are downright bad, but Scream 3 is the closest being just ok. 5 has plenty of points to praise it for, but it’s only pretty good to me; 1 is far and away the best, then it’s part 2, part 4, then this one, and finally 3. The writing here felt clumsier and pretty convenient, plus this film, being a part 5, is simply suffering from the laws of diminishing returns. Also, it has the problem of not being able to properly balance the new cast with the old. Other than Sam, Tara and Richie, the new cast of friends doesn’t get enough screen time to make me really care about them. Mindy was probably the best, but she was still a worse written Randy. Also, just because it calls out toxic fandom doesn’t automatically make it immune to criticism - people yelling “toxic fandom” when someone disagrees with this “requel” is what it is, but sometimes a film is still flawed regardless. And this one is. It’s not bad, but it’s far from great, and I disagree that it’s a perfect Scream movie or that it perfectly walks the tightrope. This is a 6/10, basically tied with part 4.
Scream was a decent film but there is a many things i did not like about the film like the actor who played sam carpenter did a terrible job. Also they shouldn't have had half the people that ghostface attacked survive because it's a horror movie most of the victims should be killed off. Also they shouldn't have killed off dewy , his character is way more powerful then the rest of the og cast.
I side with the killers on this one 😂 #lastjedisucks 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
**SPOILER**
Loved the scene before/when Wes bites it, but I will say I was looking forward to seeing the character outlive Ghostface’s madness. That and Duey’s death were the only ones I didn’t enjoy, but both made sense to the story being told also
Spoiler:
You notice only one guy comes outta this alive?
Yeah the build up and subversion to Wes’ death was AWESOME. Classic Scream right there and super effective haha
@@FilmSpeak absolutely- it was brilliant! In any other movie it would’ve provoked eye rolling and frustration, but it was just the right balance of suspense and playfulness
I loved this film and thought it was great. As someone who likes TLJ a lot, I actually don’t mind seeing people state their problems with the film at all, but when people get aggressive and start Gatekeeping, and then trying to force you to hate the movie as much as they do it becomes toxic and ridiculous. This kind of behavior has been seeping into film discussion ever since that movie released and it’s just made film discussion worse.
In comes Scream to absolutely rip modern film discourse a new one. I feel like this film was using the absolutely hyperbolic nature of the situation as a tongue-in-cheek warning. If people keep becoming radicalized by Geeks and Gamers, The Quartering, and other Anti-SJW Star Wars/Disney/film hitpiece channels, the events of this film could easily happen if someone is obsessed enough.
Seeing people rip each other apart over films and film discourse after seeing this movie just makes me love the motive and message more and more. People are just proving this film’s point and it’s both scary and hilarious.
On top of all this, it was just a great Scream movie in general and it’s my favorite of the sequels. The kills were brutal, Ghostface was unhinged in this film, the shots and cinematography with him were incredible and made him look really menacing. I really enjoyed the new characters, and the tone was great throughout.
9/10 film for me!
It takes two to tango, though. A lot of the toxicity started on twitter when Rian Johnson himself began acting childish toward people who didn't like his film ('mah deek' anyone?) and generally acting smug, refusing to suggest he could make improvements, etc. The smug, superior attitude that hollywood has towards fans, not just toxic fans, but fans in general, is part of the problem, and I don't think a movie that directly attacks that culture without addressing where it can often stem from is very helpful to the discourse; it just furthers the divide, and of course, if you're on the side of the line that the film stands with, it will seem like a victory.
@@roberthesser6402 the film specifically critiques *toxic* *fans* not fans in general. There's a clear difference between the two. In fact I believe Eminem has a term for that *stans*
Yep! Preach man absolutely.
Yay! I have to say I absolutely loved The Last Jedi too! It was so fresh and totally unexpected and had a great mix of everything that makes Star Wars awesome, but old and new! I was always so surprised how negative reception it got from the fandom, despute critics loving it (4 Academy Award nominations!) Scream 2022 is definitely a nice little commentary on the extremes sometimes these Internet toxic fandom trolls go to prevent their favorite franchises from evolving.
The filmmakers of the last jedi and plenty of other people in hollywood have brought it on themselves. They have spent the last few years saying that anyone who criticizes them are racist sexist alt right trolls. You can't just divide the fans of a classic franchise and then brush off all criticism and not expect people to be upset. Yes toxic fandom exists but there are also toxic people in hollywood that deserve to be called out. That being said I think the new scream did a good job of combining old elements with the new and was a better "requel" than most of the other movies that tried something similar.
Jenna Ortega played her role really well . Great job by her . And killing Dewey off needed to happen .
I believe Wes Craven would have been proud. I grew up with his movies. I watched them in secret as I was technically underaged, including Scream 1. Scream 2 was the first slasher film I could see in Cinema when I was old enough. Wes was progressive and I’m very confident he would have loved seeing what these younger directors had in visioned for the franchise.
Couldn't agree more. Radio Silence got to the heart of Wes' vision and made a film he very well could've (and probably would've) made himself. You can tell they are true fans and they definitely did the master proud.
Nope he would them to Survive Dewey Sydney and Gail next time learn your facts honey
@@Shaylovespopeye dewey’s dead. your mad
I hate speaking for the deceased but this is where I make a exception and ask, Do you really think he would be proud after Dewey's death? In terms of undeserved money and praise sure but don't say Wes would be proud when there's things about the movie that he wouldn't be too happy about.
Your commentary really made me appreciate this film even more. The whole thing just completely clicked for me. I did really love it on my first viewing, but I had some conflicted feelings. I realized what it was when I watched this video. I honestly LOVE your entire take on this, and with it, I realized that my conflicts weren't about the plot at all, but with the characterization of the cast. Now don't get me wrong, I loved all of their performances, however, I do kinda feel that the movie didn't have as much time to develop some of the characters as it usually did with its predecessors. Take Scream 4 for example, I honestly connected with each and every character that formed Jill's friend group. Heck, many people, me included, were wondering about the fate of Kirby for years! (She survived yay!) However, I didn't really feel as much of a connection with this new cast. I appreciate their work and love of the franchise, but they didn't seem as compelling to me as the main characters meant to carry on the series. I think the primary reason for my feelings is the fact that we got our legacy characters way later on in the movie than I would've liked, and only with their arrival does the movie truly shine. I get what they were trying to do with that cast, but I would've liked them to stick with what works best with these movies for that part. It's almost a given that Legacy characters no longer have the LEADING roles in a requel, but I guess that didn't feel that convincing to me with this franchise because come on, Sidney, Gale, and Dewey will always be the face of the Scream movies. I think our main three arriving a bit earlier, and all working together with the new cast, could've enhanced the entire dynamic. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I felt that the new cast worked, but not as well when the movie was trying to paint them as the leads. It was awesome how both sisters got their closure with the killers and basically became the final girl(s), and I did think that constructing the ending around them was actually very nicely done. But it was nice because Sid and Gale were there as sort of supervisors, and that felt like the RIGHT way of blending the old and new. I just wish they had done this for the entirety of the film so that the first act of the movie could feel just as Screamy as the second and third act. Overall though, I'm really pleased with this addition, and as I said, this video made me feel even better about it.
It’s crazy how the killers motive isn’t to far from what our reality can bring which is sad but
I disagree. Wes Craven ragged on Hollywood, not the fans. While toxic fandom IS a thing, they tried to push Rian Johnson as some kind of misunderstood genius. You can see it in Dewey. They gave him the Luke Skywalker treatment, turning him into a dreary, depressed, washed-up loser. He left Gale, because he didn’t like life in the city? Dewey wouldn’t do that! My problem is not that they killed him (or that they did so in such a stupid way), it’s that they killed his character first. This is the anti-Scream movie in that it takes shots the fans, not Hollywood tropes. They missed the entire point.
I agree. They had to find some way to break up Dewey and Gale because the actors divorced in real life. In my opinion, having characters get together or abruptly break up just to mirror real life is a bad choice most of the time. The writer loses control of the story.
unpopular opinion but scream 4 is the best after the original
Thank you for breaking this down, i agree. I hate when people hate on stuff i really like bc it makes me second guess my opinion on it. It makes me depressed but im glad other people are loving this as much as i did.
I loved Scream 2022 but Scream 4 will always be the best sequel
From worst to best:
5. Scream 3 (I love it anyway)
4. Scream 2
3. Scream 2022
2. Scream 4
1. Scream 1996
I'd switch 2 & 4 but agree with your list.
No bad films in this franchise and calling part 3 last is no disrespect because it's really fun & pays off the story of part 1
Scream 4 is not as bad as people make it out to be. Scream 4 did a great job at commenting on horror movie remakes, and even was a legacy sequel before the legacy sequels were popular.
Great point! Never understand the luke warm reaction to that one. I loved it from day 1! haha
@@FilmSpeak honestly I think if the film was released theatrically in September it probably would have done better financially. I never understood why they released it in April. Also if the film did not have the filter I think people would have liked it more. I think it was a great commentary on the horror genre because it commented on remakes, and also a great commentary on social media since this came out before tik tok and the other apps only got more Prominent overtime.
Scream for me stands out amongst all the other horror franchises for maintaining a quality throughout multiple sequels that no other franchise has got anywhere near. The worst Scream movie (which I think we can broadly agree was 3, yeah?) holds up well against the best that most of the other franchises have to offer.
I loved scream it was the movie I was looking for the killers weren’t the best but they definitely weren’t the worst I liked Richie and the motive they had was great
Hell yeah! Glad you loved it.
What I really appreciated about the reveal in this one was it truly could’ve been any of the new characters, they did a good job of making everyone suspicious.
The thing is that a lot of people knew who the killers were but the way it was revealed was amazing. Especially Amber. When she just casually said "I know",pulled the gun and shot Liv,I WAS SHOCKED
@@santinostudios4254 no they didn’t. I guessed the 2 killers in the first 15 minutes of the movie. 0 suspense.
Agree to disagree Egon's death was wonderfully done. It showed he would do whatever it would take to keep people safe from the ghost which is completly in chracter of him.
I completely agree
Great video but remember Kevin Williamson created it Scream by you know writing it, I know Wes was incredibly influential and was a pivotal part of its success but let’s not forget Kevin
The way people talk about Wes Craven you'd think he created the franchise. I understand his contribution to the films but I hardly ever hear of Kevin Williamson
Think about it they set up for more movies , one I don’t this stu’s nephew is dead or I think they are part of tho like his family, I don’t think ghostface will turn into a cult, and I think their going to go to college after this with the meek nephew playing sports
This is far from a perfect scream movie.
So many people are extremely stupid the police don't show up in broad daylight for endless minutes even though a cop calls another cop lol
The bad guys are extremely predictable.
I don't know what crack these people were smoking it didn't scare me not even one time. And I was excited for this movie and I didn't have high expectations It barely met medium expectations if I had those lol
Well there you go guys don't even bother watching this video bcuz Brandon Christopher(TheMan) already said it. Big Facts🔥💯🔥💯
I think we should also talk about the toxic Fandom that calls people stupid, crybaby, or toxic for not liking that "different" movie. The Last Jedi in my opinion was dogshit. And I think it's pretty toxic to tell me I'm toxic for not liking it 🤷♂️
Good movie overall but it’s got some serious plot related issues and Scream 4 already told this story better. I’m also really struggling to understand what Gale and Sidney had to offer here? Gale had one cool line and then was instantly shot…
I like scream 4 too never understood why it’s constantly put down
This movie was so predictable and full of plot holes. If you think it’s perfect, you’re very easily impressed.
What plot holes please explain
I completely agree with what you said. I watched it last week and it was amazing. I grew up with the scream movies and i think this is a really solid sequel .
I enjoyed the new cast and was amazed by the legacy characters especially Dewey . Ever since i rewatched all the movies he became my favorite character and he so good in the new movie.
From the new cast my favorite was definitely Tara. Jenna Ortega did an excellent job.
So glad you loved it! Yeah I think it clicks super well when you watch the entire series and then go into it. Dewey becomes 10x better than he already was and he was already perfect and omg Jenna Ortega is a revelation. Can't wait to see what she does next!
Scream was a decent film but there is a many things i did not like about the film like the actor who played sam carpenter did a terrible job. Also they shouldn't have had half the people that ghostface attacked survive because it's a horror movie most of the victims should be killed off. Also they shouldn't have killed off dewy , his character is way more powerful then the rest of the og cast.
How can a 5ft3 (1.61m) girl overpower a 6 ft man? Also, ghostface looked even taller than Dewey in that scene.
In the video description you have written this ''Similar to how The Matrix Resurrections perfected the legacy sequel, Scream 5 or Scream (2022) has now followed suit standing shoulder to shoulder with the genius of Lana Wachowski's Matrix 4''. Um, was that a joke? 🤔You find Matrix 4 good?? WTF 😦
my movie theatre was completely empty and you know that scene when the girl that knows stuff about horror movies is watching stab 1 and theres this dude that knows everything about horror movies, stab 1 of course being a mock of the first movie which in this characters universe is what actually happened, so for one moment i legit thought i was about to get stabbed
i got the ultimate watching experience i think.
Did you just Insinuate the little last Jedi was a good movie and better than the force awakens? Because that’s BS
I hated the motive once the film ended due to the entitled persona it gave to the characters. But after discussing the movie with my girlfriend, I enjoy the stance that Radio Silence took. It is in my opinion a great squeal. It is basically a remaking of the first but in the modern era. But not too similar that you feel like you are just re-watching the first film. And to the fans that speak negatively and despise this movie, it plays right into the filmmaker's hand. I believe Wes would be proud of the way the movie turned out.
That was literally the entire plot of scream 4……. Scream 2022 is 💩
Wait, so they purposely made the movie bad, so people would hate it!!?!?!? 😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
The way they made fun of fans is so incredibly jarring.
I feel like the only people who like the "social commentary" are those who sit on Twitter and call other fans toxic.
Every time someone says "the Last Jedi was hated because it was different" I feel compelled to point out that it was hated because it was *disrespectful and destructive.* Rian Johnson has shown repeatedly in his Knives Out franchise that he, personally, has no respect for his audience or for genre fiction as a whole. He is a man that likes to take sledgehammers to old buildings, but has no plans to renovate. That irreverence and mindless destruction is what resulted in Rise of Skywalker- because Rian destroyed the foundation and left no blueprints to build upon. Hell, Glass Onion is basically a confession of this fact, though how intentional that was is debatable.
*Different* is okay. *Destructive* can be okay, *as long as you have plans to build.* *Disrespectful* is not okay.
Scream 5 succeeds where Last Jedi failed largely because Radio Silence are not irreverent- and indeed it would be unbelievably tasteless to be irreverent in a memoriam film.
The thing is the last Jedi did deserve hate rian Johnson pushed that movie into a corner that there was no way a 3rd movie could carry on imo I also don’t think it was toxic fandom either the characters story arcs made zero sense when dealing with Star Wars there was no justice only SJW pandering and terrible story telling
The Billy Loomis is my daddy reveal was absolutely devoid of any depth. Who was her mother? Maybe I glossed over that but I'm pretty sure it wasn't part of the movie.
Yeah Billy randomly appearing as a hallucination was pretty random. Although it is pretty similar to Tobey and Andrew appearing in No Way Home lol.
@@RealHajimeHinata How is that random ? You wouldn't suffer mental health issues after finding out your father was a serial killer lol ?
1:41 what are you talking about, lots of people love scream 4 and I think it’s the the second best scream, if you haven’t seen it in a while give it a rewatch and try to enjoy it
Ok so I'm going to be a toxic fan and say I thought the kills were very dull. The only one that died to not-stabbing was Amber. Yes, it's a slasher, so slashing is to be expected, but there was nothing that even remotely comparable to the original's memorable garage door kill. I find the lack of variety to be a missed opportunity and especially ironic, considering how the killer's motive was literally "giving the fans what they want".
I like that they did this because scream itself is a parody of horror so it fits.
Scream is exactly what the audience wanted, a meta commentary on all the slasher films we used to watch growing up, or inject fun and personality into what was a subgenre of film that got a little stale. Not for me, but certiantly for all the audiences of the late 80's, particularly with holiday horror slasher and supernatural slasher. There was just too many slashers all copying one another and many copying Halloween. That is what created the template for a 80s slasher even though it was far from being the first. The facts of the matter is that Alice Sweet Alice, The Town that Dreaded Sundown, Madhouse, Black Christmas, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th and Peeping Tom being the actual first one, combined with Halloween is what sparked the subgenre. It helped amalgamate into Halloween, with the standouts being Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th which made a huge impact on horror at the time.
Scream was ones first foray into slasher again for over a decade and made a big impact on me watching it as a adult. It made me love slasher alot even before I knew the term, I had to watch other films like it. So I found Valentine, My Bloody Valentine, Urban Legends, I Know what you did Last Summer, Child's Play 1-3, Leprechaun, Wishmaster, Candyman, Dentist, Dr. Giggles, Hellraiser and so forth that just kept on getting sequels and made horror what its regarded as like to do this day; creepy, scary, sinister, campy, cheesy, atmospheric, tense and tropey. I still highly treasure atleast most of those to this day.
Scream is the kind of movie that will not be too serious about its subject matter, but goes kinda goofy and humorous when you think it should be much more serious or nonchalant. The killers are what the film is really about, its a whodunit at the end of the day and "Everybodies a suspect!". You want to figure it out along the way but atleast in the first 3 movies its really damn difficult. Perhaps not impossible but you can get the sense that this movie was on the pulse of slasher and horror by being the first to do a bunch of things we hadn't expected. Difficult to discern motives, killer that seems to get away with murder too easily but the victims seem to fight back effectively, the killer showing up where you don't expect him or her, and not to mention all the commentary. Whats the most scary thing about slashers and horror, how to get away with murder, what makes a person a killer, never blame movies for what people do e.t.c. You get all of this long before new generation period of slasher recently with a string of remakes and requels. This movie got there first on all counts. What keeps people coming back to scream is I think the killer and his or her motivation or perhaps multiple killers motivations and how that worked its way into a background plot.
They literally pulled a Rey is Palpatines daughter moment
I thought the movie was enjoyable. My only gripe is a few of the weird choices for dialogue. The ending scenes with all of them in the kitchen was a replication of the first movie, yet Ritchie and Amber’s personas became really cartoony.
This was honestly the shittiest movie I have ever seen. Totally disagree with everything you said.
I think I was on the few that thought it was meh. Their reason for killing was just awful. And it was pretty obvious who were the killers. Plus the friend group accused each other, to the point I don't think they were actually friends
Randy's neice and nephew, and Jenny Ortega were literally the only ones who stood out
This movie felt rushed to me. The story was lacking, ending and killers were lame, and the characters were so one dimensional. It wasn't even as good as scream 4. It was better than 3 though. Movies nowadays always have to have a deeper meaning and be socially aware. Whatever happened to when movies were just fun.
I thought it was just okay. Not seeing why so many people loved it. It definitely wasn't "PERFECT"
Agreed! I don't see how people are clamoring over this movie, but to each it' own!!
I wasn’t surprised it was Amber, but I didn’t think it was Ritchie
Okay so Billy Loomis is her dad but who is her mom? I missed that part. cuz obviously she would have had to have already been born before the advance of first movie since he died at the end right? It can't be Sydney since she was a v until the end of the movie right?
The "Fandom" motive in scream didn't do it for me here. It felt like they were kinda going all David Gordon Green on "Scream" (2022)
I would have been okay with the fandom take IF they had gone with the "remake it themselves" POV. It was set up with the light in the mask... but they didn't go with it?
To me Scream 2022 was just another Scream sequel, it was OK, on par with Scream 3 and had many similarities with Scream 4. It had a few good moments but brought nothing new to the table and it became the very thing it was making fun of - in a bad way. For whatever reason I was convinced that the killer is gonna be Stuart from the original Scream but I was wrong, that would have been awesome. Seeing Billy Loomis back gave me goosebumps but Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox looked like they were forced to be on the set and their characters were poorly written, Dewey was by far my favourite character out of the old cast and out of the new cast Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega did a very good job. 6.5/10
12:17 except everyone else, unmasked the killer, and then shot them in the head. The way it happens in the movie its like Dewey forgot his keys or something, and not like he's done this four times before, read books about it, and seen eight movies of it being done before.
So on the death itself. Ghostface stabs Dewey and then lifts him off the ground. Pretty coo...at the end it was reveal that Amber (looks about 17 and 108lbs) did that? This movie was pretty good until the reveals. Wanting to make a new better STAB franchise, wasn't that the reasoning of the last duo Ghostface?
Absolutely agree with you about Dewey's death.
I’m sorry but this movie was mind numbingly stupid and I feel like I’m in the twilight zone hearing so many people say they love it
I think its bots and paid comments from the studio.
Excellent video! Nice to see someone look at scream 5 from the angle intended… some people missed the point.
Too many survivors at the end.
People don’t like scream 4? That’s second best behind the original imo
SCRE4M is great! I don’t understand how people can’t get into it.
Same! It’s so fun and a perfect snapshot of that time period.
I recently rewatched it and changed my mind it’s well thought out
It's Rushed & not anywhere near craven's best x
My issue with this toxic fandom angle is that it’s an easy out if your movie isn’t that strong..Which scream 2022 is not that strong. So now if you don’t like it it’s very easy for someone to say “well you are the exact toxic fans the movie is referencing” when really it’s a movie with many issues. Definitely some cool parts but the bad outweighs the good in my opinion.
they cant take responsibility for their shit movie so they will call their fandom a bunch of racists, sexists, homophobes...even when many of them r coloured people, women, and lgbt..........................
It’s one of those you either love it or hate it movies.
with probably 70% of people hating it, which leaves 30% of either clueless turd loving movie watchers or blinded by bias delusional turd lovers
I completely agree with every single word said. You've gained a new subscriber out of me. Well done! 👏🏻😱🔪
Cheers man! Thank you!
the meta thing from scream 5 was just too much, it reminded me of the obnoxious matrix 4
I loved it and had so much fun watching it! The only part I wasn’t to fond of were the Billy hallucinations. It brought a supernatural aspect to the movie that I felt was a little too on the nose and was kind of unnecessary. But other than that the movie was great. The attacks/kills were brutal and emotional and really made you empathize with the characters.
it wasn't supernatural literal ghost moments or hallucinations. It's a visual representation of internal thoughts and struggles. Instead of talking to herself and her own internal dialouge which is something a lot of us do all the time it's him as that representation. her inner darkness and fear of becoming a killer herself.
They also had supernatural themes in Scream 3 when Sydney's mother appeared x
@@greggcampbell7152 that was a nightmare visualized so we don't just see her shaking on the couch you fool. lol all movies visualize dream sequences. There was nothing supernatural going on.
@@guitarman0365 It was dumb. You cant explain it away. Her seeing her dead father, she never knew, in his scream outfit, she never saw him in lmao, was complete fan service. Hush. Now try to deepen that honey... lame!
@@lalareal180 What do you mean she never knew ? He was literally famous in their universe. When they're at the friend's house discussing the prequel, Billy is literally shown on the TV they're watching. The Stab characters were dressed just like the originals so it's not hard for her to envision him wearing a white shirt. You're very unimaginative.
And it was talked about in the news like "Star Wars fans express disappointment over The Last Jedi on social media" rather than "entitled crybabies harass actress because she acted in a movie they didn't like".
Absolute truth and that's a fact!
Scream 3 is the worst but campy fun. Scream 4 is genuinely good.
Perfect? Far from it. If this is what people consider perfect then standards have really gone low.
It's his opinion
I agree
Love this video made me realize in scream 5 that not only were the killers fans of stab like how Billy and Stu were fans of horror movies but also both the writers are fans and it makes me appreciatethe motive more
This movie is awesome. The meta commentary is absolutely on point.
The deaths were great the movie was amazing probably the best sequels I don’t know if it tops the original but it’s up there
Scream was a decent film but there is a many things i did not like about the film like the actor who played sam carpenter did a terrible job. Also they shouldn't have had half the people that ghostface attacked survive because it's a horror movie most of the victims should be killed off. Also they shouldn't have killed off dewy , his character is way more powerful then the rest of the og cast.
Guess alot of people will blindly defend poorly written characters with zero development or effort these days. Movie was a solid 4/10 for me; Really missed the charm of what made Scream, Scream. I actually had to go back and rewatch the originals to confirm if I was missing something, or maybe I had loved the originals from a purely nostalgic point of view; And, nope, that's not what it was at all, this new film just sucked. Heavy agree to disagree.
Completely agree. It’s a modern day soulless Horror film with youthful teens with inconsistent acting and dialogue written by older people who do not know how young people talk. The twist was Lame as hell and it really thought it was more clever than it was
It still bothers me that dewie was killed by some teenage girl 😔
after she was shot multiple times too. Dewey may as well have just bent over with his ass facing the killer waiting for her to shank him up the butt. It would have been amusing at least.
****SPOILERS BELOW*****
I watched it a bunch of times and I really do like it. I've had some minor issues, but overall the characters are really great in this one. I think Tara has the best part / performance. I didn't know how she was going to hang in there or make it until the end, but I was pleasantly surprised. Mason and Jasmin were great and I was SO happy they both made it. Sam was.....just ok for me. She's going to have to up her game if there are sequels. I don't know, she's no Sidney. But no one will ever be so....I also not crazy about the Billy Loomis visions. They did a good job with the de-aging, but it felt shlocky. They could have developed Vince just a tad bit more. I picked out the killers as soon as the trailer hit. But I think they made it super obvious on purpose and I really don't think it took away from the reveal at all.
That being said, Sid, Dewey, and Gale killed it this time. They were badass and it was the best acting they've done in all the movies, in my opinion. "You killed my best friend! F**k you!!! Enjoy that torch!!!!!!" And Dewey's death was sad but necessary. It did help the story along. They easily didn't need to stop for that inhaler at that party. And seriously , what the hell were Sidney and Gale doing in the kitchen while Sam was killing Ritchie in the next room? Having a cocktail? Toasting torching Amber? Minor issues aside, it was a terrific entry. Great analysis!
I'm sorry but what a transition in to the sponsor
Han Solo's death was divisive garbage... naturally it was reflective of the package as a whole.
Wasn’t expecting that little Afterlife spoiler😅 but great video!
My favorite scream movie since scream 2
Gale, Dewey and Sidney don't have a single scene together and the lead actress was awful. Definitely not perfect.
Scream 2022 is the type of movie that will only be propped up by the sequel that follows it. By itself it’s an okay scream movie. But, if the stories they tell based off the seeds they started to plant in this movie, it has potential to be part of a great trilogy. Ghostface was the only shinning light in this movie, and NOT the killers under the mask either. Richie and Amber were red flags a mile away and when they were revealed, I was critically underwhelmed. I was upset that they didn’t trick me with a fast one…instead they struck me out mentally with a floating slow ball.
I enjoyed it, but it was far from perfect. It wasn't better then 1, 2 or 4
I’m genuinely shocked that this movie is getting genuine praise like this, in my opinion it’s a watered down, attempt to recapture the lightning that only Wes Craven really understood. I adore the opening of the film but the rest falls so incredibly short that it hurts.
I’ve always loved the Scream films. I saw the new one last weekend. I LOVED IT! It was GREAT!!!!!!! And it’s pure heaven for fans of the franchise!!!!
I'd rather just watch the first scream again. Considering most the lines were just taken directly from the first scream. I was actually excited to watch this movie, but then I started watching... I must say the acting was oof... bad to say the least, the writing was... trash. Zero originality.
1000% agree with all of this. No one will ever change my mind about the 5th installment. It's literally THEE PERFECT "requel." This is how it's done, and this is why I love Kevin Williamson as a writer.

There's a lot to be said in it's favour, but perfect? It fell short in one really major way for me - the killers were more obvious in this one than any others; now you can argue that Scream 2 and Scream 6 cheat quite a bit in terms of hiding their killers' identities, but even taking that into account, I immediately suspected both of the actual killers on their first introduction and was never really given a reason to change my mind. I've not successfully identified the killers on first watching any of the others, so I found that disappointing. Also not sure it fully holds together (which is weird given that I was also convinced who the killers were) for a number of reasons:
(1) The opening attack on Tara was too frenzied for the killers to be sure she'd survive, and they really need her to survive
(2) Richie must have been in Woodsboro for the opening attack on Tara and somehow got quickly back to Sam in order to return to Woodsboro with her. Logistical nightmare at the very least
(3) How confident does Richie have to be for this plot to play out? He was so sure he'd be able to charm his way into Sam's life, and so sure that she'd let him accompany her back to Woodsboro (and so confident that Sam would go; the way her and Tara's relationship is played in the early part of the movie that's far from a given, and whilst you could argue that he got to know Sam so well he could predict her return, the plan pre-dates him getting to know her)
As someone who loves The Last Jedi, The Matrix Resurrections, and now Scream 2022, I'm so happy to have found your channel.
WELCOME TO THE FAM! Happy to have you 😁
