SCREAM (2022) Director: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler GillettStarring: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Marley Shelton, Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Dylan Minnette, Kyle Gallner, Mikey Madison, Sonia Ammar Twenty-five years ago Scream rocked the horror genre revitalizing the slasher flick for a new audience. The fifth film, simply titled Scream, will no doubt please fans and would make Wes Craven damn proud of what directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have in store. The town of Woodsboro has never been the same after Ghostface sliced and diced and left his mark. Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette areRead More →

SCREAM: GHOSTFACE IS BACK A few weeks ago Paramount Pictures released the first trailer for Scream, the fifth installment of the iconic horror franchise. I have now lost count on how many times I’ve watched it. I purposely think the trailer is deceiving throwing the audience off in true Scream fashion. Do you really think the filmmakers would allow the trailer to give away spoilers? Paramount has now released a short behind the scenes featurette “Ghostface is Back” that looks to connect the dots between the legacy characters of Sidney, Gale, and Dewey and how they fit back into the horrors in Woodsboro now attackingRead More →

SCREAM (2022) Director: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler GillettStarring: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Marley Shelton, Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Dylan Minnette, Mason Gooding, Jack Quaid, Kyle Gallner “It’s always someone you know.” I am loving the tagline for the fifth entry in the Scream franchise. Fans have eagerly been anticipating the trailer for Scream. I am here to say that it looks like history is repeating itself. I’ve been a massive Scream fan as far back as I can remember, so I’ve been drumming up all sorts of theories based on what little the cast has said so far. Even just naming it “Scream” insteadRead More →

EVERYBODY IS STILL A SUSPECT: A LOOK BACK AT SCREAM 4 Director: Wes CravenStarring: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Emma Roberts, Alison Brie, Hayden Panettiere, Marley Shelton, Rory Culkin, Nico Tortorella, Anthony Anderson, Adam Brody My Scream retrospective “Everybody is Still a Suspect: A Look Back at Scream” kicked off with Scream 4. I personally believe the fourth entry surprised fans with how strong it wound up given what usually happens when horror franchises milk their serial killer and dumb teen characters. Scream 4 saw a return to Woodsboro, shocking kills, the return of favorite characters, and of course, offered up an ultra metaRead More →

EVERYBODY IS STILL A SUSPECT: A LOOK BACK AT SCREAM With the news of Scream 5 (or is it 5cream?) officially in the works, it’s the perfect time to go back and pay tribute to the entire franchise from master horror director Wes Craven. When you look at horror franchises, it’s rare to find one where every entry works. Directors, screenwriters, and actors come and go with lame copycat entries or even reboots attempting to recapture the magic of the original film. Scream bucks all of that as we followed a core group of beloved characters through four films as they’re haunted by Ghostface, familyRead More →
