Scream (2022)Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler GillettThis fifth entry in the "Scream" series was released theatrically in the US in January. Being a fan of the series, I wanted to watch it but it hadn't been released in India till now. Recently it was made available on @bmsstream and I rented it, and was happy to get to finally watch it. I loved the movie and thought it was a worthy addition to the series.25 years after the events of the first movie, a set of killings again take place in the town of Woodsboro, with the killer donning the Ghostface mask. The movie has a set of new characters and sees the return of some old ones. That description may sound bland but just like the other films in the series, it's a very entertaining slasher mystery, and will make you suspect multiple characters before the reveals. The story is engaging, the kills are brutal and violent, the production value and acting are good, and as is the norm, the movie is very self aware and makes commentary about movie tropes.This is the first film in the series not to be directed by Wes Craven as he passed away in 2015, and the reins now go to the directors of "Ready or Not", and you can see that a lot of care has been put into the film.All of the movies in this series, are self referential —• Scream — was a knowing self referential commentary about slasher movies while being one itself • Scream 2 — was a slasher sequel that commented on horror sequels• Scream 3 — referenced movie trilogies while itself being the last in a trilogy (at the time)• Scream 4 — referenced reboots / revivals of movies made several years after the original, while being one of those movies itself• Scream 5 — references "legacy sequels" that come decades after the first entry, while being one itselfI drew Ghostface from the movie, this was drawn with Ohuhu markers (I recently got a set and it's the first time I am trying alcohol markers).
