Scream
★☆☆☆☆


The meta aspects of the original Scream felt fresh and inventive; the writing and directing were sharp enough to elevate the film beyond a simple gimmick. Plus, that film had a terrific young cast who worked to make it a genuinely scary horror movie in its own right. None of which can be said for this tedious, incoherently photographed “requil” that is as stale, repetitious, and creatively bankrupt as the reboot culture it attempts to comment on.

How I Rate Films
★★★★★
One of the 5000 greatest films. Usually only awarded after repeat viewings, so there are more five-star films from decades past than recent years.
★★★★☆
An excellent film. Possibly one of the 5000 and certainly worthy of repeated viewing.
★★★☆☆
A good film well worth seeing. Films listed at the top of this ranking could end up one of the 5000.
★★☆☆☆
A disappointment, an interesting failure, or just a bad movie. Still, maybe worth seeing: I often enjoy the top two-star films in a given list more than the bottom three-star films.
★☆☆☆☆
A bad, rant-worthy film. Should be avoided regardless of hype or talent involved.
☆☆☆☆☆
One of the worst films.
