Scream - Avis

...this chapter is certainly strong enough to suggest the franchise isn’t ready to die yet. They always come back, right?

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.

...the smartest, funniest instalment since the original.

...it’s still capable of delivering some piercing high-pitched decibels.

All of the performances are pitch-perfect as the new generation of Woodsboro teens step into their futures, the kills are gnarly, and no version of toxic fandom is left unmocked.

...finds the perfect balance of the vintage and the fresh.

...Scream is a blast, a solid setup for more to come.

...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.

A reboot done right that doesn't pull any punches.

R-rated horror that delivers on every level.

...there are still layers of meta-ness to uncover, fresh scares to experience, and wicked fun to be had.
