What to See this Week (02/04/22)
Scream
TWENTY-FIVE years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro in California, a new killer dons the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past. Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the latest installment of the Scream franchise stars Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Neve Campbell. The Guardian’s Wendy Ide writes, “…this installment revamps for a new generation of genre fans the tried and tested Scream formula of knowing movie references and horror tropes. While this is the smartest, funniest and stabbiest film since the 1996 original, it does feel as though Scream has come full circle, an ouroboros serpent of a franchise that is destined to endlessly devour itself until those testy toxic fans finally lose patience.” Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer gives the film a score of 78%, while its audience rating is 82%.
MTRCB Rating: R-16
