Paramount Pictures released the final trailer for the fifth Scream movie. It seems that this installment will be full of references and details that will remind us of the original horror story from 1996.
scream It is considered a horror classic, with many gory scenes and an iconic villain, Ghostface. After the success of the first film, with the original script by Kevin Williamson and under the direction of the deceased Wes craven, they kept releasing up to three more installments. 10 years later, not only does the mask that we know so much and saw at costume parties and Halloween returns, but some of the original stars also return for the fifth film: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette.
Less than a week after its premiere, Paramount Pictures posted the final trailer for a little over a minute. This starts with Dewey riley explaining that, from his experience, there are certain rules to survive Ghostface, and that it always comes back. While we listen to the phrase “the murderer is part of something of the past”, We see Sidney stand in front of the old house of Stu Macher.
As the video progresses we see bloody scenes, the new teenagers who will face this classic villain and how the actors we already know try to help them, telling them that they are in danger and that “they had seen this movie before”.
Among the references to the original film, we see two familiar scenes at the end of the trailer. One where we see that Ghostface He attacks a girl while she grabs a beer from the basement fridge, like the murder in the garage from the first movie. And the other is when the newcomer Richie almost repeats the classic phrase of Stu: “I’ll be right back“.
As for the cast, come back Neve campbell What Sidney Prescott, Courteney Cox What Gale weathers Y David arquette What Dewey riley. We will also see new faces: Melissa barrera, who will play one of the leading roles, Jenna Ortega, Dylan Minette, Mason Gooding, Kyle Gallner, Jack Quaid, among others.

This production company is made up of three directors, of which two will bring to Ghostface to the cinema one more time: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. The third, Chad vilella, will be an executive producer with Kevin Williamson, in charge of history. Also, the movie is written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick, while the producers are: James Vanderbilt, William Sherak, and Paul Neinstein.
For those who do not know, here is the synopsis: “Twenty-five years after a series of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the mask of Ghostface and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the city’s deadly past. “
With the premiere near, some journalists and critics already had the opportunity to see the movie and so that they know more or less how the hand is coming, here are some opinions:
Scream knows exactly what it is, what it has to do, and delivers on both. There are real stakes, the kills are brutal, the whodunit is devilish & the twists are, to keep vague, really good. A few things will be divisive but that’s their intention so I was good with it. 1,4,5,2,3. pic.twitter.com/H086YLAU87

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

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

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
