Courteney Cox, David Arquette, dan Neve Campbell kembali untuk pertarungan kelima melawan pembunuh Ghostface.
Reaksi pertama untuk ‘Scream’ karya Matt Bettinelli-Olpin dan Tyler Gillett sudah banyak bertebaran di social media dan tampaknya cukup mennarik perhatian dari waralaba film horor yang sudah berjalan lama.
Wartawan film menyebut waralaba ‘Scream’ terbaru yang akan rilis Januari ini merupakan yang terbaik sejak film asli Wes Craven tahun 1996.
Nama-nama pemeran utama pada waralaba ini kembali seperti Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, dan David Arquette bersanding dengan para pemeran pendatang baru seperti Melissa Barrera yang bermain di ‘In The Heights’, Mason Gooding, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid yang bermain di serial ‘The Boys’.
Sinopsis resmi dari Paramount Pictures tentang film ‘Scream’ ini yaitu 25 tahun setelah serangkaian pembunuhan brutal mengejutkan kota Woodsboro yang tenang, muncullah seorang pembunuh dengan mengenakan topeng Ghostface dan mulai menargetkan sekelompok remaja untuk membangkitkan kembali suatu misteri kota dari masa lalu yang mematikan.”
‘Scream’ baru adalah film pertama dari waralaba yang dibuat tanpa keterlibatan master horor Craven, yang meninggal pada tahun 2015. Pembuat film Bettinelli-Olpin dan Tyler Gillett yang juga dikenal dengan nama Radio Silence, mengambil alih tugas penyutradaraan setelah mendapatkan banyak penggemar horor dengan film indie mereka ‘Ready or Not.’
Menurut salah satu pemain Neve Campbell, Bettinelli-Olpin dan Gillett terinspirasi menjadi sutradara berkat film ‘Scream,’ sehingga mereka tidak mau mengotori film legendaris tersebut dan akan menghormati warisan Wes Craven ini.
‘Scream’ akan mulai tayang di bioskop mulai 14 Januari 2022. Lihat beberapa reaksi pertama untuk sekuel horor di posting di bawah ini.
The new #Scream is a BLAST & my favorite since the original. There’s some sharp writing here – a nice balance of well-crafted scares & amusing commentary on modern horror. It also pokes a lot of fun at itself, too, while remaining a bloody whodunnit & a damn good time. I’m a fan! pic.twitter.com/QZiguvUIWo

The new #Scream is the real deal. Such a well written script that keeps you guessing and wades into the treacherous waters of fandom in 2022. ‘Scream’ fans are going to love it. pic.twitter.com/caf2SqG0so

I have seen the new #Scream and it’s a winner! Yes it’s bloody, but also feels loaded with love and reverence for the original and the fandom it amassed … and felt like it was talking to me (to a degree). pic.twitter.com/x1gDCM9MYH

Fuck me, wow!
Have finally seen Scream 2022 #Screammovie and it delivers… and then some.
If this franchise means something to you — and it means so damn much to me — you will leave satisfied, moved, and wanting more.
Oh yeah, it’s scary (and funny) as hell. pic.twitter.com/U88VOS1FUb

#SCREAM (2021) is a fittingly loud, bloody good time at the movies. It takes a knife to the heart of the modern ‘requel’ machine, “elevated horror,” and toxic online fandoms. Seriously, no major film franchise is safe. This is Scream at its best since the first sequel, easily. pic.twitter.com/lNYkpZcrLp

As someone who has been in love with this franchise for a little over 25 years now, I totally and completely loved @ScreamMovies. Brutal kills, fun mystery & both the Legacy cast & newbies were great. Wes would be proud. #ScreamMovie #Scream pic.twitter.com/EoMkeI1CtR

#Scream freakin’ slays! It’s a textbook example of how to revive and reinvigorate a franchise and do it in killer style. Brutal genius, it has the razor-sharp smarts of the finest entries in the series with a third act that absolutely nails it. Two thumbs way up! #ScreamMovie pic.twitter.com/ZMmCDUFUrj

I loved SCREAM (2022). It pokes fun at itself, ‘elevated horror,’ and has a lot to say about movie fandom. It leans deep into legacy in the right ways and uses the ‘Scream’ family to great, and surprising, effect. New crew is excellent too, especially Jenna Ortega. #ScreamMovie pic.twitter.com/cyUrpoxMFP

The 5th SCREAM film is the closest I’ve felt to the brilliance, excitement & horror of Wes Craven’s 1996 masterpiece. Hands down, the best SCREAM since the original. Beautifully honors the legacy of the first film while bringing a fresh yet brutal new tone to the franchise.❤️🎥🎞 pic.twitter.com/9LaeiyqUlF

As someone who worshiped the original #ScreamMovie (and absolutely adores SCREAM 2), I have to tell you…
I absolutely LOVED the new SCREAM sequel.
It’s directed with such furious energy — it’s both a love letter to the original and entirely fresh.
I’m beyond ecstatic. pic.twitter.com/j2MmGwqKDF
