Scream (also known as Scream 5) is a 2022 American slasher film directed by Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) and written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. It is the fifth installment in the Scream film series. Though billed as a relaunch of the film series, the film is a direct sequel to Scream 4 (2011) and is the first in the film series to not be directed by Wes Craven, following his death in 2015. The film is dedicated to Craven at the beginning of the closing credits.[5] The film stars Melissa Barrera, Mason Gooding, Jenna Ortega, and Jack Quaid, alongside Marley Shelton, Skeet Ulrich, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Neve Campbell, who reprise their roles from previous installments.

Although fifth and sixth Scream installments were discussed after the release of Scream 4 in 2011, Craven, writer Kevin Williamson, and executive producer Harvey Weinstein had doubts on their likelihood following the less-than-expected box office performance of the fourth film. A Scream television series was then produced, airing on MTV from 2015 to 2016 across two seasons, with a third season airing on VH1 in July 2019.

After the 2017 sexual assault allegations against Weinstein and the then closure of The Weinstein Company, the rights of the Scream franchise was given to Spyglass Media Group in November 2019, who confirmed a new film would later be made. The following year, Williamson, who was returning as an executive producer, confirmed the film would not be a reboot, and that Radio Silence were hired to direct in March 2020. Campbell and Arquette were confirmed to be returning later that month, with Cox and the new cast members joining throughout the summer. The production for the movie was also delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so filming took place between September to November 2020, in North Carolina. To avoid any spoiler leaks, numerous versions of the screenplay were produced and several additional scenes were filmed.

Scream was theatrically released in the United States on January 14, 2022, by Paramount Pictures, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The film has grossed $120 million, making it the third-highest-grossing film of 2022. It was praised by critics as honoring Craven's legacy and offering thoughtful meta-commentary on horror films, with some calling it the best of the Scream sequels.[6] The development of a sequel was confirmed in February 2022.[7]

Plot

Twenty-five years after Billy Loomis and Stu Macher's killing spree in Woodsboro, a high school student named Tara Carpenter is home alone when she is attacked by Ghostface and left hospitalized. Out of town, Tara's estranged older sister Sam Carpenter is informed about the attack by Wes Hicks, one of Tara's friends. Sam returns to Woodsboro with her boyfriend Richie to visit Tara at the hospital, where Sam is reunited with Tara's friend group: Wes, Amber Freeman, twins Chad and Mindy Meeks-Martin, and Liv McKenzie. Liv's summer fling Vince Schneider, Stu Macher's nephew, is killed by Ghostface outside a bar. At the hospital, Sam is attacked by Ghostface and tells Tara that she has been dealing with hallucinations of Billy Loomis, who Sam learned as a teenager was her biological father. Sam's true parentage resulted in their parents' separation and is why Sam became estranged from Tara.

Sam and Richie visit Dewey Riley, who is divorced from Gale Weathers. They ask for his help in stopping the killer, and he contacts Gale and Sidney Prescott, warning them about the return of Ghostface. Dewey joins the teens at Mindy and Chad's home and is reunited with the twins' mother Martha, the sister of the late Randy Meeks. Due to the three attacks having targeted people related to the original killers, Sam is accused of being the killer. Ghostface then murders Wes and his mother, Sheriff Judy Hicks, at the Hicks' home. There, Dewey reunites with Gale, who has arrived in town to cover the story. At the hospital, Tara and Richie are attacked by Ghostface but are saved by Dewey and Sam. Dewey is killed when he attempts to kill Ghostface.

Sidney arrives in town after learning of Dewey's death and meets both Gale and Sam at the hospital. Sidney asks Sam to help stop the killer, but Sam declines. She chooses to leave town with Richie and Tara, but they are forced to stop at Amber's house to retrieve an inhaler for Tara. Sidney and Gale follow them to Amber's house, which is revealed to be Stu's former home where the original Woodsboro massacre took place. There, Chad and Mindy are both attacked and stabbed by Ghostface but survive. As Sam tends to an injured Mindy, Amber pulls out a gun and shoots Liv in the head, revealing herself as Ghostface.

When Gale and Sidney arrive, Amber shoots and injures Gale. Richie then stabs Sam and reveals himself to be Amber's partner. Richie and Amber take Sam, Sidney, and Gale into the kitchen where they reveal they are superfans of the Stab film series (which had adapted the previous Ghostface killing sprees as films before switching to original stories) who met online. Disappointed in the trajectory taken with the most-recent film, Rian Johnson's Stab 8, they decided to embark on a new killing spree, bringing back the "original cast" to provide new-and-improved "source material" for a future "requel" Stab film. Richie seduced Sam on Amber's behalf in order to frame her so they could remain free to kill again.

Gale breaks free and shoots Amber, who lands on the stove and is set on fire. Sam is injured, but a hallucination of Billy points her to Amber's abandoned knife, which she uses to stab Richie repeatedly before shooting him. A badly-burned Amber attempts to attack the group again but is shot dead by Tara. Tara and the Meeks twins are taken to the hospital, and Sam thanks Sidney and Gale for their help before deciding to stop taking her antipsychotic medication. Gale refuses to write about the new murders because she does not want to give the killers notoriety. She plans to write a tribute to Dewey instead.

Cast

When Richie is watching a YouTube video about Stab 8, the thumbnail beside it features a photograph of Hayden Panettiere as her Scream 4 character Kirby Reed, referring to her as a "Woodsboro survivor"; Panettiere receives a "special thanks" credit for the photo.[8] Christopher Speed appears as Randy Meeks from Stab.[9]

Previous Scream actors appeared through vocal cameos in the film, including Matthew Lillard as the Ghostface of the film within a film Stab 8, Drew Barrymore as a school principal, and Lillard, Panettiere, Jamie Kennedy, Henry Winkler, and Adam Brody among several cast members as partygoers who participated in a toast for Wes, which doubled as a tribute for the late Wes Craven.[10][11] Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, Craven's widow Iya Labunka, previous Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson, previous composer Marco Beltrami, previous editor Patrick Lussier, and previous co-producer Julie Plec also have voice cameos as partygoers who partake in the toast for Wes.[10][11]

Production

Development

In 2011, Wes Craven confirmed he was contracted to work on a fifth and sixth installment of the Scream franchise, to be made if the fourth film achieved a successful release and reception.[12] Following difficulties with script rewrites on Scream 2, Scream 3, and Scream 4, often with pages only being ready on the day of filming, and the related stress of the situation, Craven stated that he would need to see a finalized version of a script for Scream 5 before committing to the production.[13] Williamson also confirmed he had contractual obligations for scripts for Scream 4 and Scream 5, having submitted concepts for three films leading up to Scream 6, though his contract for the sixth film had not yet been finalized. Williamson indicated that if a Scream 5 were to be made, it would be a continuation of the story of the characters who lived through Scream 4 but that Scream 4 would not include any cliffhangers that led into the potential sequel.[14]

Before the release of Scream 4, actor David Arquette also supported a potential future of the franchise, stating "[the ending] definitely leaves it open," before adding that he would welcome the opportunity to play the character of Dewey in future installments.[15] In May 2011, executive producer Harvey Weinstein confirmed that a sequel was possible, saying that despite Scream 4 performing below The Weinstein Company's financial expectations, he was still happy with its box office gross.[16] In February 2012, when asked about the potential for making Scream 5, Williamson stated at the time that he did not know if it would be made, saying "I'm not doing it."[17]

On September 30, 2013, Harvey Weinstein expressed his interest in a fifth installment, stating "I'm begging [Bob Weinstein] to do the movie and just end it. We've milked that cow."[18] In July 2014, Williamson expressed doubt on a fifth film happening, saying "I guess Scream 4 never took off in a way they hoped". He also elaborated on his departure from the series as Craven and his team were "done with him".[19] On June 25, 2015, the Wall Street Journal conducted an interview with Bob Weinstein. When asked about the possibility of a film continuation after Scream 4, Weinstein firmly denied the possibility of a fifth installment or any further continuation of the film franchise, citing the MTV television series as the right place for the franchise to find new life. "It's like putting an art-house movie in an art-house theater," Weinstein said. "Where the teens reside is MTV."[20]

Following the closure of The Weinstein Company in the wake of numerous sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein, the fate of the Scream franchise was in limbo. In early 2019, reports began to circulate that Blumhouse Productions, which specializes in horror-themed films, was interested in reviving the series, and that studio head Jason Blum was working on making such Scream installments happen.[21] These reports were confirmed to be false.[22] In November 2019, Spyglass Media Group acquired the rights to make a new Scream film. It was unknown at the time if it would be a sequel, reboot, or remake. It was also unknown if Williamson would return.[23][24][25][26] The next month, it was announced that the film would feature a new cast but could possibly feature appearances from previous main cast members.[27] On November 18, 2020, Kevin Williamson revealed that the film's official title is Scream.[28]

Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett and casting

David Arquette was the first "legacy actor" that was set to star in the film, once again reprising his long-running role of Dewey Riley.

In March 2020, it was announced that Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett would direct the fifth installment, with Kevin Williamson serving as an executive producer, and that the film had already entered official development, with filming planned to begin in May 2020.[29][30] The filmmakers were in the midst of developing Cocaine Bear when the producers approached them to direct the film.[31][32] In May 2020, it was announced that Neve Campbell was in talks to reprise her role as Sidney Prescott in the film.[33] That same month, it was announced David Arquette would be reprising his role of Dewey Riley; James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick were announced as screenwriters. It was also confirmed that the film would begin production later in the year in Wilmington, North Carolina, when safety protocols to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic were in place.[34] When writer/producer James Vanderbilt first presented the script to Williamson and asked him to be a part of the film, he turned the offer down, claiming he didn't want to be involved in a Scream project without Wes Craven. Williamson eventually contacted Vanderbilt later on, agreeing to join the film under the condition that the film be dedicated to Craven.[32]

In June 2020, Variety reported that the film was set to be distributed by Paramount Pictures and was initially aiming for a 2021 release, which would be 25 years since the first movie was released in 1996. Variety also noted that it was still not known if Courteney Cox or Campbell, or any other legacy actors other than Arquette, would reprise their roles.[35] On July 31, 2020, Cox posted a video to her official Instagram account, confirming her return to the franchise for the fifth installment. The news was then confirmed by various other outlets.[36][37]

In August 2020, Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega were cast in undisclosed roles.[38][39] In the same month, Paramount Pictures announced that the film was scheduled to be released on January 14, 2022, having been delayed from its original 2021 tentative release due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[40] In September 2020, Jack Quaid joined the cast in an undisclosed role.[41] In the same month, it was confirmed that Neve Campbell, Marley Shelton, and Roger L. Jackson would return to reprise their roles, with Dylan Minnette, Mason Gooding, Kyle Gallner, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mikey Madison, and Sonia Ben Ammar joining the cast.[42] Skeet Ulrich additionally reprises his role as Billy Loomis, for the first time since Scream (1996).[10] Rian Johnson was meant to make a cameo appearance as himself, but his commitments to Knives Out 2 prevented him doing so.[43] Instead, Johnson is mentioned in passing as the director of the fictional film Stab 8.[44]

Filming

Principal photography was originally scheduled to begin in Wilmington, North Carolina, in May 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[29] Filming instead began on September 23, 2020.[45][46] Filming took place across several avenues in Wilmington, including exterior shots of Williston Middle School and interior shots of Cardinal Lanes Shipyard and 10th Street (between Ann and Castle streets).[47] The film was awarded $7 million in rebates by the North Carolina Film Office.[48] Filming wrapped on November 17, 2020.[49] The existence of not only multiple versions of the film's screenplay but also multiple filmed scenes, to avoid details of the actual storyline being leaked before the film's release, was confirmed in April 2021.[50] During the post-production stage, Michel Aller served as the primary editor for the film.[51] Post-production on the film was completed by July 7, 2021.[52]

Release

Theatrical

The film was released on January 14, 2022, by Paramount Pictures.[40][55] The film's red carpet premiere was scheduled for January 11, 2022, but was canceled due to the extended COVID-19 pandemic and rise of the Omicron variant.[56]

Home media

Scream is set to be released digitally on March 1, 2022.[57] It will be released later on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD by Paramount Home Entertainment.[58]

Reception

Box office

As of February 6, 2022, Scream has grossed $68.9 million in the United States and Canada, and $51.4 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $120.3 million.[3][4]

In the U.S. and Canada, Scream was originally projected to gross at least $20 million from 3,661 theaters over its four-day opening weekend, which included the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.[59] Some estimates were higher; Variety and Comscore both predicted a $25–$30 million opening.[2][60] Boxoffice Pro projected a $28–$39 million four-day opening, factoring in positive word-of-mouth, young viewers being part of the target audience, theatrical exclusivity, ticket pre-sales and social media buzz, and the film serving as a revival to a well-known franchise.[61] The film earned $13.3 million on its first day, including $3.5 million from Thursday night previews.[62] It went on to debut to $30 million (and $33.8 million over the four days), becoming the first film to dethrone Spider-Man: No Way Home at the box office.[63][64] Men made up 53% of the audience during its opening, with those in the age range of 18–34 comprising 67% of ticket sales and those above 25 comprising 58%. The ethnic breakdown of the audience showed that 46% were Caucasian, 33% Hispanic or Latino, 11% African American, and 5% Asian or other ethnicities.[62] The film fell 58.7% in its sophomore weekend to $12.2 million, finishing second behind No Way Home.[65] The film earned $7.2 million in its third weekend.[66]

Outside the U.S. and Canada, the film earned $17.9 million in its opening weekend from 50 markets.[67] The film made $10.2 million from 54 markets in its second weekend,[68] and $6.5 million from 55 markets in its third. As of January 30, 2022, the film's largest markets are the U.K. ($8.3 million), Australia ($3.8 million), and France ($3.7 million).[69]

Critical response

The performances of the cast, especially Neve Campbell's (pictured), were praised by critics.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 78% of 254 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.70/10. The website's consensus reads: "The fifth Scream finds the franchise working harder than ever to maintain its meta edge – and succeeding surprisingly often. "[70] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 60 out of 100, based on 48 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[71] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it a 79% positive score, with 61% saying they would definitely recommend it.[62]

Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune wrote: "If we were to make a franchise-reboot comparison: Scream lands about halfway between the pretty-good 2018 Halloween and the turgid follow-up Halloween Kills."[72] The Guardian gave the film 3 out of 5 writing "But it's still capable of delivering some piercing high-pitched decibels."[73] Wenlei Ma of News.com gave the film 3 out of 5 and felt that "Scream 5 lacks the spark Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett brought to their previous endeavour. Scream 5 is certainly funny and irreverent, but where it falls over is that it's rarely scary."[74] Writing for The New York Times, Jeannette Catsoulis gave the film a negative review criticizing the fan service opining that "Wearyingly repetitive and entirely fright-free, Scream teaches us mainly that planting Easter eggs is no substitute for seeding ideas."[75]

The performances of the cast were particularly praised.[75][76][77] Campbell was acclaimed for her performance,[78][79] and was noted for her "fresh" take on the role of Prescott. The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "... it's a pleasure to see Campbell again in fine form as Sidney, striding back into Woodsboro to take care of unfinished business."[80] Elle magazine named Campbell the "Reigning Queen of Scream" and stated that "Sidney might not have that impact on people were it not for Campbell's portrayal, rife with vulnerability, intelligence, and a palatable dose of humor."[78]

Sequel

Campbell and the film's directors have expressed interest in making future films in the series.[81] A sixth film was officially green-lit on February 3, 2022, with the same creative team returning and production beginning in summer 2022.[82]
