Scream fans last year the Scream franchise made a big comeback with a film that nobody knew that they both wanted or needed. While it would have been super easy for me to make this film review a tie in review for the upcoming Scream 6 I thought that since it's been well over a year since the release of Scream 5 that now would be the right time to give it a proper review now that we've all had alot of time to let the film sit with us for awhile and so then join me as I review the film that really did very successfully resurrect a dead franchise with the film in question being called simply just "Scream" enjoy.
The plot of this film is twenty five years after the first Scream movie a new set of killings start happening in the town of Woodsboro and it's up to a new group of friends to find out who this killer is before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with this films plot being refreshingly good and being a breath of fresh air for this franchise in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott , David Arquette as Dewey Riley and Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers. Also starring in this film is Melissa Barrera as Samantha Carpenter , Wednesday star Jenna Ortega as Tara Carpenter , Jack Quaid as Richie Kirsch , Dylan Minnette as Wes Hicks , Mason Gooding as Chad Meeks-Martin , Kyle Gallner as Vince Schneider , Jasmin Savoy Brown as Mindy Meeks-Martin , Sonia Ben Ammar as Liv McKenzie , Mikey Madison as Amber Freeman , Heather Matarazzo as Martha Meeks , Skeet Ulrich as Billy Loomis and Roger L. Jackson as The Voice Of Ghostface.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this films acting rather rightfully getting alot of praise from both critics and fans alike and it;s really earned since all of this films cast members turn in some really good performances in this very film.
This film is all about subverting expectations since from the opening scene we see scenes and tropes that have been in the previous Scream movies and here they play out differently. Heck even the fact that this film kills of one of the main legacy characters is subverting peoples expectations since we always go into one of these Scream films knowing that Sidney , Gale and Dewey are going to make it out of the film alive and OK and so when Dewey gets killed of in this film it not only subverts your expectations because now it makes you think that if Dewey could die the maybe the other legacy characters can now die as well.
How this film handles it's legacy characters to me proves that this film was made by fans of the Scream franchise. Since all of the legacy characters in this film act like you'd expect there character to act and the same thing even goes for Billy who despite being killed of in the first movie is still just as bone chilling as ever and even tho I don;t really like that in this film he's kind of portrayed as being an anti hero it is still great to see this character back and the CGI on the character does look rather really good as well.
Speaking of Billy Loomis I really don't like that they brought this character back since to me this franchise has been very realistic. As such having Billy Loomis appear in a very supernatural kind of way takes away from that realism which is a shame because he really does get some good scenes but I feel that the film would have been overall better of if that character wasn't included in the finished film just so that little bit of realism could still be maintained and plus you'd then get the mystery of who Sam's real father even was in the first place so it would have been a win win situation.
To me this film relies a little bit two much on nostalgia for the first film which does work both for and against the film. Since it means that we get alot of great scenes between the characters but it also works against in that it means that you have to have to watched the first film in order to order to understand what;s gong on in this film and as such that means that alot of this films feels alot more like homework which is a shame because when thew film does make a reference or a joke about the previous films it usually adds something to the plot of this film.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty four minuets and eighteen seconds. Which I will admit is a tad bit on the long side for this film to last even more when you take into account that this film doesn't put that much focus on the actual mystery aspect of the film which is weird because with this added time that is something that the film could have done and still have told a really well done and a really well thought story but for some reason they just don't and as such the film oddly feels a little bit longer then what it actually is.
So now then since this is a slasher that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this films kills not only being rather intense and actually scary but this films films are also really cool and are really very gory to look at as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall out of all of the Scream sequels this one is quite easily better then Scream 3 and is one par with Scream 2 for me that's not a knock against this film it;s just that I love that film so much and so being on par with Scream 2 is for me a good thing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as sch that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Scream fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official Scream fandom wiki page simply because the official Scream fandom wiki page actually has images from this film up on the official Scream fandom wiki page and pus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official Scream fandom wiki page were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always do with our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very unpleasant dreams.
