Scream 5




 The fifth Scream film might be my favorite since the original. I love the entire series so it is hard to rank em but it is less flawed than 2 & 3. Sometimes the meta horror rules can be a bit long in tooth but here it is meta referencing how meta it is. There is alot to love about the discussion of "elevated horror" such as Hereditary and toxic fans such as Star Wars but at the core this is just a fun slasher and as usual the dialogue & characters are almost as good as the kills. Like usual it is quite hard to discuss Scream without spoilers but it is familiar territory all while adding some new twists.  I love Radio Silence and am happy they got to direct this. If they come back for the sixth or they wind up sticking to original material i will be pleased, i just want more Scream films from directors i trust!
