Parent reviews for Scream (2022) (2024)

This re-quel to the famous Scream franchise is such a delight of fun with a nice touch of meta to it. When I first saw this, I thought that this was such an amazing addition to the Scream franchise, and I still do (and it's my favorite Scream movie), but after seeing this for my liked 3rd or 4th time, the ratings gone down by a 0.5, but it still holds up very strongly!I feel like a big error of this movie is how the story pacing is uneven . . . in a sense of way. I feel like it takes its time in the killings, and instead really waiting for the 3rd act for the real fun to begin. And I also feel like it's dragged down also by all the talking and not enough killings, but besides that this movie knows how to have a lot of fun! I love how this movie is just more than just with its killings . . . and the killers actually have a motive (it may not be the best movtives, but at least it's a motive). And it's just so much fun to be with the cast memebers . . . getting new blood while bringing in some old blood from other, previous movies in its series.I'm not going to lie, some the kills in here can be creative while at the same time it can quite basic. But I really, really love how they did the opening scene almost deja vu to the 1st movie. I always love the opening phone call with the killler. I mean, I'm not going to lie: it's an iconic moment not only in the Scream franchise but also I feel like in the horror franchise. It's what I feel Scream has always been known, so when this movie opened up with the phone-call and the attacks, I just can't help but love it!Now this series has very much redeemed itself with this movie . . . it's almost as good as the 1st one, but it is a tad better (in my opinion). The 2nd Scream movie was also good, but the 3rd and the 4th I felt like really went downhill with the series. But when this one came out and I saw it, this just redeemed the series from falling any lower. It's such a phenomal add to this beloved series that Wes Craven (RIP) created. I feel like Wes would have been proud with this one!I remember my first time seeing this and before watching this, I actually kind of binged watch all 4 previous movies in the series . . . just to be prepared for this one. And I was glad I did! It was worth siting down and watching all of them just to be familiar with the 5th one and what it had to give. This is one of my favorite slasher series, that manages to always come back with something entertaining even though sometimes it does stoop lower than I would like it to be. But I do have to give it to all the Scream movies: It builds upon each other by staying true to the wonderful legacy that Wes Craven created!

A good reboot of an old classic.

Really the best scream movie but SOO MUUCH BLOOOOD! Would not recommend this for grade 1-5. My child watched the first scene only because my child a 7 year old. Great if your into horror like me but really a scary one. The acting is great and ghost-face is terrifying, there's lots of blood and violence. Truly a good and scary movie. Would not recommend 5-11 year olds watching.

Parents need to know that scream is a 2022 action horror slasher movie. 1st thing parent needs to know about scream is it has a Horrible explicit extreme violence and gore bloody. That 14 year olds that cannot handle. This movie has multiple uses of F. bombs and S words. There are no sexual content or nudity. Just a one Scene where 2 girls are making out. This movie is a Hard rated-R. This movie is for kids under 16 or 17 or even 18.

This movie was just pretty much a play off of the first movie with characters trying to remake the first “killing.” They had watched the first Scream somehow and were trying to recreate what happened. Very repetitive do not recomend.

Katherine R. Parent of 8, 10, 14, 18+, 18+ and 5-year-old

This movie is a bloody but fun time. The most violent thing that happens is someone gets stabbed about 20 times and then gets shot in the head so… But if you can Handel the gore it’s great.
