Is it fun? Mostly, yes. - Owen Gleiberman, VarietySeriously over-indulges in self-referential cleverness, to the point of undermining the actual scare factor. - David Rooney, The Hollywood ReporterA horror movie, through and through. It's also a small-town drama. It's also a vicious and spot-on commentary about some of the more repugnant fads in the modern entertainment hellscape. It's also extremely funny. - William Bibbiani, TheWrapEven afresh batchof newcomers can't keep the staleness from creeping in, although the new "Scream" nicely mines modern movie discourse in a way to justify its own existence. 2.5/4 - Brian Truitt, USA TodayThe new "Scream" stabs and jabs at our memories of the original and creates some bloody fresh twists of its own. 3.5/4 - Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-TimesThe new creative team effectively taps into a quarter century of real-world affinity from fans for some clever meta commentary within the film. 3/4 - Zaki Hasan, San Francisco ChronicleIt stumbles by the end - these movies always do - but by bringing itself full circle, it stands as the best "Scream" since the original. B- - Adam Graham, Detroit NewsIt does little but reference the previous films (this is the fifth in the franchise), but it does so in smart, fun ways. 3.5/5 - Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona RepublicOver two hours, Cinco de Scream-o lumbers along with routine kills and few surprises even when it makes lame attempts at shocking us. 2/4 - Johnny Oleksinski, New York PostI have to admit that there is some watchable gonzo humour to this fivequel (though I hid under my seat for the violent bits.) 3/5 - Peter Bradshaw, GuardianIt gets almost too meta to function. 2/4 - Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph (UK)It's impossible not to appreciate the "guess the killer" game that remains the franchise's central (and now only?) draw. But it's crushingly over-familiar and sadly fright free. 2/5 - Kevin Maher, Times (UK)It's very much your father's Scream. You're not going to be scared by it, but you may like being swaddled in something as cozily familiar as Freddy Krueger's sweater. B- - Joshua Rothkopf, Entertainment WeeklyFor the most part, this is a 're-quel' as fast, funny and ferocious as a Scream movie should be. In an era of elevated horror, it's a gloriously gory basement party. 4/5 - Ben Travis, Empire MagazineA slick, self-satisfied giggle of a movie. B- - Katie Rife, AV ClubThis latest spree is openly modelled - set-piece by set-piece - on the first Scream, even as it constantly negotiates its own delicate status as a 'requel' in a shifting horror landscape. - Anton Bitel, Little White LiesThe new movie successfully continues the Scream tradition of evolving via sharp, fresh commentary on the horror genre, but one of the fifth installment's most striking qualities is that it is absolutely oozing with love and respect for this franchise. 4.5/5 - Perri Nemiroff, Perri Nemiroff (YouTube)PlotTwenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past.Directed byMatt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler GillettWritten byJames Vanderbilt & Guy BusickBased On Characters Created byKevin WilliamsonStarringMelissa Barrera as Sam CarpenterSonia Ben Ammar as Liv McKenzieKyle Gallner as Vince SchneiderMason Gooding as Chad Meeks-MartinMikey Madison as Amber FreemanDylan Minnette as Wes HicksJenna Ortega as Tara CarpenterJack Quaid as Richie KirschJasmin Savoy Brown as Mindy Meeks-MartinMarley Shelton as Judy HicksRoger L.
