Review of Scream

Scream (I) (2022)
1/10
i have no mouth and i must SCREAM!
9 March 2024
This is supposed to be a hommage to Wes Craven and his SCREAM franchise. So they brought in a bunch of the original cast and followed the slasher recipe. It could have been fun. It could have been terrific. And it even could have been scary. But it wasn't any of that. The movie wastes too much time indulging the SCREAM history. If they didn't spend that much time talking about horror film clichés, tropes and mistakes of the victims they could have made a creative flick on top of all the sequels. It was a good idea to bring the franchise to the present and make use of gadgets like smartphones, tracking devices and strong female characters. However certain scenes like the discussion about how the killer might be drag the movie into a bottomless pit. It was like sitting in the room with unexperienced producers discussing how the story would go on. After every line I would like to shout "no, let's not do that!". Well this film ended up being ridiculous, boring and senseless.
