Critics Consensus

The fifth Scream finds the franchise working harder than ever to maintain its meta edge -- and succeeding surprisingly often.

Audience Says

Scream 2022 definitely isn't shy about calling back to the franchise's past, but it's still fun and scary in its own unique way.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

To an impressive extent, directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and their team succeed in squaring this circle, a trick they accomplish partly by turning their film into a symposium on what a new Scream ought to look like.

Rated: 3.5/5

Now, if we can "turn a blind eye" to its narrative slips, we can enjoy a film that is on par with the rest of the saga... [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 6/10

While the film tries to evoke the clever, meta film dialogue of the original, terms such as “requel” are better left unspoken.

Rated: 1.5/4

A pretty solid continuation in the Scream franchise. Just enough nostalgia in the callbacks but a solid new storyline.

I'm glad we got another Scream movie. Good story,acts as reboot while still being a sequel to Scream 4,the new characters get good development and their time to shine also including the original main trio back was great,the killer is vicious more brutal,the death scenes are gruesome two of them are shocking completely caught me off guard,pretty good soundtrack,good acting,acts as social commentary to requels,mentions real life topics and gives new rules to survive a horror film,solid writing,has tons of easter eggs/nods to the other Scream movies,major twists,the killer reveal one of them is a surprise the motivation to the killer this time is decent and has a satisfying ending setting up future events. Overall i liked this film it's a fun modern day slasher film and does a great job honoring Wes Craven's legacy and look forward to where the series goes from here. I gave Scream (2022) a 4.5/5 stars!!!
