8:04 In Scream 4's original script it was supposed to end with Jill winning and getting the fame she wanted and the audience not knowing whether Sidney was alive or dead after Jill stabbed her.
Would have been better
@@CodyLeachYT There needs to be a Ghostface who's the killer of more than 1 Scream film at some point because them getting killed off shortly after the reveal is getting stale.
@@Xehanort10 Is getting? It is stale.
@@Xehanort10 How do you get there without having the Ghostface's killing everyone or one of them not being revealed to the surviving characters but to the audience that would make sense and be satisfying to them? Unlike the other horror franchises the star isn't reliant on the killer but Sidney's character. This movie, for me at least, proves you can make a Scream movie with less Sidney but I don't know if you can ever kill her off without ending the franchise. Maybe get one where the killer kills everyone including Sidney then the sequel would be his next killing spree but is there legs in that kind of story? You're gonna have to create a killer that the audience will care about more than Sidney.
That would have been perfect. Jill is probably my favorite ghostface with the best motive
Awesome ranking. Fun fact about the lighting in scream 4: it was an intentional choice. Wes wanted to make it look like a reboot and change the atmosphere compared to the prior 3. While I think the lighting/glare was a bad choice, the reasoning makes me respect it a bit more.
The lighting was intentional but there’s still a filter laid over it
Yes the lighting was awful looks like The Bold and The Beautiful or some TV movie
I didn't notice anything wrong with the lighting. I enjoyed the movie.
Looked stupid as fuck
You got that information from 3cfilms
My favourite part of Scream 5 was actually the ending when Sidney and Gale arrived at the house. "What do you think?" "Definitely a trap." I wanted even more of that. Sidney should have just made every one legless.
No.
I liked it so much too, this kind of maturity and experience being expressed spontaneously. maybe it's the best line in the movie.
5. Scream 5*
I refuse to call it Scream or Scream 2022
4. Scream 3
It was confusing and overall at a slow pace.
3. Scream 4
AMAZING cast and AMAZING ending 👏
2. Scream 2
That reveal at the end was so poetic. I just loved it!
1. Scream
DON'T MESS WITH THE ORIGINAL! IT'S PERFECTION. 🖤
what was so wrong with scream 5?
@@shmellyong Absolutely nothing wrong with the movie. I enjoyed it very much.
Scream 4 was great but it definitely was warmer and brighter. The cast was great! I actually was surprised by who the killer was. Emma roberts played the character really well.
I totally knew that jill was the killer
Agree 100%. The only thing that disappointed me in Scream 2 was the killing of Randy... he was a very fun and interesting character.
I actually have the unpopular opinion of Scream 2 being my favorite for a long time. I love the character arcs and the killer reveals.
I agree. Scream is the best, but 2 is my favorite. I rewatch it by far the most
I love Mickey, and to me.... personally I prefer Scream 2 opening over 1. I would tie 1 and 2 as they were both 10/10 for me
Scream 2 is the best movie in the franchise, IMO. I watch that one the most out of all of them.
I still love Scream 4. I’ve never understood the hate for it at all. I think people just jumped on a hate bandwagon with it.
l love it too. I think it's the best of the sequels.
It is my favorite sequel. It was way ahead of its time in an almost prophetic way.
@@ethancharles2189 The movie "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" was also ahead of its time. It was very meta.
maaaan i always almost just say Scream 4 is my favorite but just the opening and ending scenes of 1 are just too goated.
1. Scream (Matthew Lillard MAKES that movie for me)
2. Scre4m
3. 5cream
4. Scream 2
5. Scream 3
Finally someone with good taste. I don't know why people rank part 4 so low. It's the best sequel.
4 is the best sequel tied with five.. but since I have an emotional attachment to four as I was going through something in my life when that came out and it was like my favorite movie that year I'll give it the slight edge but as far as my enjoyment of the movie I think they're about Todd
Damn I totally missed the Kirby thing in the new Scream. I hope they bring her back. I thought we would get her for the new film. She could've been the Randy of the film. My ranking would be:
5. Scream 3
4. Scream 2
3. Scream 2022
2. Scream 4
1. Scream
There were reports that Kirby would have been confirmed dead if Scream 5 was a direct sequel to 4 like Wes Craven initially wanted. Since 4 didn’t do well enough at the box office a second trilogy was scrapped but maybe now they’ll go a different direction. Although Kirby would be very out of place if brought back
that's exactly my ranking lmao
Same ranking here :) I love scream 4 so much
She’s coming back in Scream 6.
Right now I think Scream 5 is my second favorite but I have to wait to see how it ages
Love this ranking! I’m glad the new film has done well, but I definitely love 1, 2, & 4 way more than it, so I love that you ranked it the same as I would.
Completely agree w/ you about Scream 4! I rank Scream 4 as second best of the franchise! It’s entertaining, it’s also to me the most surprising killer reveal, best Courtney Cox scenes of the franchise - truly love Scream 4.
My rankings are exactly the same as yours. Scream is my favorite franchise and I thought despite some nitpicks that Scream 5 lived up to the series and it was a fun time at the movies. I look forward to dissecting it after I’ve seen it more than once. I grew up watching the Friday the 13th marathons on USA up all night in the early 90s when I was like 12 years old. But when Scream came out I was 14 years old and it blew my mind. I saw it 5 times in the movies theater. It felt like a slasher for my generation. I’m so glad that the consistency has kept up with these movies.
I'm glad you still showed Scream 3 some love. That was the first Scream movie I saw at 6 or 7 years old and it holds a special place in my heart! Agree with the ranking overall
I liked it it's actually my second favorite after Scream 1.
dude🤣🤣 i predicted your entire ranking because i was pretty sure thats everyones ranking 😂 1 was great 2 was pretty close. they fell off with 3 came back with 4 and dropped a noch with 5 😂 love this channel. big supporter‼️❤️
My ranking is
1. Scream 2
2. Scream ( I saw Scary movie a million times before I saw this, which slightly tainted my first experience with it)
3. Scream 4
4. Scream 5
5. Scream 3 ( Which is still really good and better then a lot of the Michael , Jason , Freddy movies )
Mine is now (1,4,5,2,3) 4 and 5 are LITERALLY tied, upon second rewatch of 5 you will enjoy it so much more bro! Great vid.🙏🏾💙 also even though two is better than 3 obviously I think I might prefer to watch 3 over two sometimes that’s all.
Mine would be 1, 5, 2, 4, 3. I think scream 5 did a great job at being more cohesive than 2 and 3. The reveal of the killers also was better than the reveal in 3 and 4. If they plan to make more films after 5 I think this is a good start.
I'm 1,5,4,2,3.
Dude same. 100%.
Lol you all must be young
The original was taken down. I love your reviews! The intro to the Halloween reviews with DOC kills me haha.
We literally have the same ranking bro haha. Love it. Awesome video as always. Your one of 2 CZcamsrs I only watch. Your the man
I’ve liked/loved every scream movie, my ranking is most enjoyable to least, although I enjoyed them all…
Scream 2
Scream
Scream 4
Scream 5
Scream 3
First two scream movies had the best opening scenes...the opening scene in the 5th one was pretty good also in my opinion
I can get behind this. The 2nd movies opener is soooo underrated
The 5th one was not that great. It was pretty much a copy of 4.
@@nerychristian it was nothing like the opening of 4
@@shmellyong I think it was pretty similar. I actually thought the opening of 4 was more clever because it has openings within openings.
Dude that thumbnail is mind blowing. I might actually try ordering a Scream movie poster that looks exactly like that or at least close to it.
Love your videos good ranking bro keep up with the work
Until yesterday I was thinking 1>2>5>4>3 but today I believe it's 1>2>4>5>3 too or even 1>2> 3=4=5. I need to rewatch Scream 5 to have sure. But undoubtly, I really really like every movie, even 3.
Love the review Cody! Especially since you aren’t the biggest scream fan. I find that most ppl who aren’t the biggest fans tend to diss on it hard. I like to call Halloween and scream 1A and 1B in the slasher world
Dropped everything to watch this video love your channel Cody
Very happy to see someone rank Scream 1/2 as 1/2! Ranking Scream 2 in 4th or 5th in the series is insane: that movie has the best suspense and chase scenes of the franchise imo: the Sidney/Hallie car scene and Gale's chase scene on the sound room was epiccc. Also, Sidney's line to Mickey: "Well you're forgetting one thing about Billy Loomis...I fucking killed him" is one of the best lines/moments in the Scream franchise. Even Sidney's line to Ghostface at the sorority party was epic: "Why don't you show your face you fucking coward." I may just be biased towards Neve because she can deliver an epic line. But in this new Scream, Sam's character fell a little flat and at points corny for me sometimes. For example, one of her lines: "Maybe I was just buying some time fuckhead" to Ghostface (something like that) didn't really resonate as empowering or epic: it just seemed kinda cheesy.
Yes I’ve been saying this for the longest. It seems like most of the new generation ranks Scream 4 and 5 over 2. The those movies don’t have the suspense or set pieces that Scream 2 had. Scream 2 is actually my favorite movie in the franchise.
Love that you brought up that 5 reveals Kirby is alive...
Great ranking Cody. Might be the only time I’ve 100% had the same ranking as you haha. Good stuff
I believe Neve and Courteney performance in Scream 5 is in tone with the situation they were living in that moment.
[spoiler]
After all, Dewey just passed away, they were sad and in grief and having still to deal with another ghostface
YEEEEES THANK YOU! I’m so glad you put 5 right after 3 for fighting for the bottom. I’m sorry. This movie just wasn’t what they promised I’m kinda upset about how this movie went. But yes this is the correct ranking 🌷🥀
u are in everyone’s comment section and also, why do u think scream 5 was so bad?
You nailed exactly: that’s my ranking! I had great expectations for 5 and even though the finale is quite compatible with what you would expect in Scream universe, overall this last movie was just silly.
I'm not the biggest Scream fan but my favorite of this franchise is Scream 2. Another nice ranking video Cody.
Haven't watched the new one yet but for all the others I'd say.
4. Scream 2
3. Scream 3
2. Scream 4
1. Scream
This is my exact ranking, I think four and five are about equal but just for the nostalgia Factor I'd probably put part 4 slightly above it because I watched it when I was going through a particular time in my life and it was like my favorite movie that year LOL
I definitely enjoy all the movies. I rewatch the first one the most. Randy my fav character.
Scream 5 is my second or third favorite tbh it was so good.. scream 1 will always be my fav but scream 4 and 5 go back and forth for 2nd place for me
1.Scream
2. Scream 2022
3. Scream 2
4. Scream 4
5. Scream 3
I love them all
I was born in 94 so Scream was the first horror movie I ever saw and fell in love with , this franchise will always mean something to me !
Great ranking Cody. Love the content. Here's mine.
1. Scream
2. Scream 2
3. Scream 5
4. Scream 4
5. Scream 3 I feel this ranking is pretty easy. 4 and 5 can be switched out depending on the mood.
Same here tbh
My Scream Movies Ranking
1. Scream
2. Scream 2
3. Scream 3
4. Scream 2022
5. Scream 4
I absolutely would always watch 4 it's not a bad installment at all I however I felt 4 didn't really bring nothing to franchise I always say Jill however had the most best and logical motive out of any Ghostface of the entire Scream franchise cause how simple her motive was I did not like the cinematography much in 4 and it was kind of colorful compared to the other four films I put Scream 3 high up cause enjoy 3 and I love the climax of Sidney and Roman fighting yes I get they was trying to make the movie a lot comedic compared to the first two but 3 basically was the end of the franchise 4 didn't acknowledge Sidney past or mother or anything related to her life but writing a book but again 4 is watchable but to me it's my least favorite.
Btw, the 3d act of Scream 1996 is one of the best 3d acts ever along with Child's Play 2's 3d act, imo
Really liked your ranking, you make really good points. As a die hard Scream fan, here is mine:
5. Scream 3: I don't hate it, I think some of the kills are awesome and and the final showdown is great, but the Maureen plot is iffy as is the voice thingy.
4. Scream 2: the other four films are really close for me, but I put 2 here because I don't care about the killers and the new characters that much.
3. Scream 5: awesome new entry, I loved this one. The meta can get too on the nose sometimes and they could've better fleshed out the new cast, but I love the characters and it made me hyped for this new phase of the franchise.
2. Scream 4: I love the cast, that's it. The cast made the movie for me, the killers are amazing, Emma Roberts is insane on this and is endless rewatchable for me.
1. Scream: my favorite movie of all time. Genre defying, game-changer, innovative, jump-started the teen slasher craze and revived horror. A classic.
Good ranking Cody For me its 1, 4, 2, 5, 3 but like you said I got luv for all these movies I luv the new one and I always swap back n forth between 4 and 2 great Scream content Cody 🤘💯
Cody, you should do a ranking of all the Scream openings too!!!
Nice! We Have the Same Ranking Cody!Awesome Ranking
Yep. We finally have an identical ranking.
Watching all the sequels really makes you realize how great the original Scream is. Amazing, that’s my biggest takeaway from all this.
My current ranking is the exact same as your raking, also my opinion 5, 4, and 2 are very close. I am re watching those again to see if I can get some more space between them. Like them all, even 3.
Great vid. Today i finally got to see Scream 5, as it at last released on Amazon movies in the UK. I bought it this morning and immediately watched it. I love that movie especially the increase in gore. I've since already watched 2 youtubers first time reactions to it today, and in seeing parts of it again loved it all the more. Scream is one of my favourite franchises, in my opinion it doesn't yet have any bad movies, 4 of these films are in my top 100 of all time. My ranking is:
5 Scream 3
4 Scream 4
3 Scream 2
2 Scream 5
1 Scream
You have the robe too, cool :) Wish i had a replica robe.
ALRIGHT!
So my rank goes
1.) Scream obviously. I watched it when my Grandma was watching me when i was like 6 or 7, and she fell asleep and i watched it on tv and the intro scared me so bad because i felt like i was alone, and Sydney Prescott really made me feel like hey, if she can do it why can't i?
2.) Scream 5, idk it was just a fun watch for me, i've started not looking at trailers and it has gave me more surprises in movies and left me to enjoy them more. I loved Dewey and was genuinely upset when what happened to him happened to him. I know that Sidney and Gale seemed like they just phoned it in but i feel like they passed the torch, so no one gets upset with one or the other dying, but we won't have to see them again.
3.) Scream 4, I hated the overlay on the film, that made it look too smooth? it bothered me so much watching but i love the characters, particularly, Kirby, ofc, i can definitely see some narcissistic motherfuckers trying to kill people to get famous.
(honestly though, those two will flip flop for me, i liked them both but right now 5 is my favorite)
4.) Scream 2, when i first initially saw this, I laughed at it. I was very much afraid of horror movies when i saw this and my brothers, i remember even saying "hey look this one actually made her laugh!"
5.) Scream 3, just wasn't interesting to me, didn't make sense to me, and Gale looked terrible
i just said a fuck ton
I like your ranking Cody, and Scream 6 is confirmed, which means doing another ranking. And who knows, maybe a part 7 also.
i havnt heard any confirm for scream 6 or a 7
@@doshi066 I looked up if there was gonna be a scream 6 and it said that it got greenlight along with scream 5. So we have the script for Scream 6, I don't know about 7, but we're getting a 6.

@@J-DEVTV Well that's the name of the movie or say Scream 5.
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 I see nothing wrong with saying Scream 2022.
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 Such a weird thing to harp about. If he made any mistake, it was not putting it as Scream (2022).
Great review
I rank them 1,2,5 then 3 and 4 are tied. I would put the new one at second place but scream 2 had Randy's death which really hit hard and I think Mickey played one of the best psycho's outside the original 2.
Mickey is underrated. That speech thou 🌷🥀
I almost feel like Neve/Courtney phoning it in in 5 is intentional. You can tell they're beaten down and tired. Sidney ain't even emotional anymore, she's just over it lol. I liked that approach personally. I would rank the sequels wildly differently from how you did, but always look forward to your insight!
Me too. I think they're tired and beaten down exacty because [spoilers]
Dewey's death
U can tell they are tired especially Sidney cause when ghostface calls her she’s like “Fuck this I’m bored” and he goes “wait no”
@@danielcm4237 truthfully thought we were going to get yet another Dewey death fake out
My rankings would have to be 1, 5, 2, 3 and 4.
The original is the front runner as the best clearly but I was so impressed by 5 and the requel elements throughout it made it a firm second best for me, which I didn't see coming after the disappointment I had for 4.
Scream 4 seemed so out of place in the franchise for me, like a bit of an unnecessary film and I felt that Scream 5 did an amazing job at rectifying this imo! Sorry Scream 4 lovers, but I would happily forget this films existence haha
I’m not sure how you think it feels out of place but okay lol
Good list !
@@alextownley9388 well for one thing it negated the first 3 movies as a trilogy by being an extra and didn't really do much special
5 seems like just an unnecessary movie. 4 ended the franchise well. The acting and characters in 5 was not that great.
@@nerychristian all of the reviews I’ve read said most of the acting was great soooooo lol
9:14 The No Way Home Premier looked like that
You must be Psyched about the Justified reboot anounced with Timothy Olyphant,Walton Gogins,and Patton Oswalt says he's in working around his stand up concerts,he will do a few episodes of the 10 part series next year
I’m pretty shocked that you say you didn’t predict any of the killers from the first 4 movies. Billy and Stu were both very obvious, although at that time we didn’t know there would be 2 killers. Mickey and Debbie Salt were also blatantly obvious in 2 when you take everything into consideration. For 4 I knew either Charlie or Robbie had to be in on it and I even thought it was both of them at one point. Roman and Jill are the only killers who really threw me off
Awesome ranking! I have 3 and 5 reversed but the rest exactly the same! 5s reveal being called a requel I thought was bad. Basically killing because the stab movies were getting it wrong is weak. Fan boy killers wasn't creative enough for me.
Yup. I have the exact same ranking as you Cody. I like them all also.
That's basically my ranking of the 5 films. Overall a good franchise that hasn't jumped the shark or become pale shadows of its former self. Of course there's gonna be ups and downs, but like other franchises like Lethal Weapon, it's all about the characters that you love through out the series.
As for my ranking - I only REALLY love the first one. I think that’s a 9/10 movie. Coming in 2nd for me is actually the new one, Scream (5). Then 2, 4, & my least favorite is Scream 3. I have only seen the new one once, so that might eventually change.
Almost same ranking as mine. Swap 4 and 2 and were the same.
@@icebergthegamer I had 4 above 2 for the longest time! Just now after my recent rewatch leading up to the new one I swapped them out! 😁
@@dertodesking8379 I did the exact opposite 😂
@@icebergthegamer Awesome LOL!!
1 - Scream
2 - Scream 2 (I watched this before the first one, and it was my first slasher. It’s really hard not to put it as number 1 but I think they’re pretty much tied for the nostalgia)
3 - Scream 2022 (It made me cry, okay?)
4 - Scream 4 (bcJill actually shocked me, but in my opinion it had the weakest version of Sidney than all the others)
5 - Scream 3 (Because of Gale’s bangs. I’m still not over them. And also the voice changer being so god**** unrealistic it killed so much of the movie for me. Also Parker Posey’s voice. If it wasn’t for those three things it would definitely hold a higher spot)
My Ranking:
1. Scream 1996
2. Scream 2022
3. Scream 4
4. Scream 3
5. Scream 2
I love the first, and it’ll always be the best. Really enjoyed the new one and all the meta references. I think 3 is really fun and underrated. Need to rewatch 2, but I remember not liking it quite as much as the others.
the old woman getting him to be the killer at the end and other bad things.
Like I did not expect that this time I was expecting some another one of those funny ghost face calls at the beginning of the video like another cool really funny intro like for the new scream movie I noticed that there was none
That’s funny.. I totally missed the Easter egg video about Kirby being alive. Guess what? You were 100% right about Kirby being alive for Scream 6. Just watched the trailer for it and it looks pretty good. 😂🤙🏻

Here’s my ranking
1
5
4

3
I absolutely love the franchise, though Neve Campbell said she might not make an appearance in the 6th movie because she said her salary wasn't enough and she felt undervalued. Only time will tell if she makes up her mind or not.
Wouldn't it be sick if people had the ability to re-watch movies and NOT KNOW/REMEMBER who the killer/killers are? I often think that lol
I figured out one of the killers as soon as the released the cast list
Pretty spot on rankings. I also had Scream 3 last while still thinking it was a good & fun movie
I love all the Scream films but my top three are near perfection to me.
1. Scream 2
2. Scream
3. Scream 5
4. Scream 4

Finally, someone else who thinks scream 2 is the best
@@Saltyaf38 I agree 100% with T Parker Evans as well! We have the same ranking.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Had the same list as you. Scream 2 was overall a better paced movie, didn’t need to set the characters up. The ending was a bit a scooby doo. The one thing scream had over scream 2 was the iconic opening.
@@Saltyaf38 to me 1 and 2 are tied. I love Mickey.
I’m a life long scream fan and my ranking is the same as yours. Also I agree, 4 might’ve been my favorite sequel if they hadn’t rubbed Vaseline on the lense before shooting.
Here's my ranking
1. Scream 2 I still love this one and I really enjoyed the reveal in this one and I really enjoyed seeing Sarah Michelle gellar
2. Scream I did enjoy neve and drew Barrymore was good as Casey the opening scene is definitely great
3. Scream 4 I really enjoyed this movie except the cinematography Emma was great as jill this movie definitely is better than the third one
4. Scream 3 I really didn't like this one I hated the reveal of the killer in this one it didn't made any sense plus we didn't see much of Sydney due to neve schedule
I haven't watched the fifth movie
I’m genuinely curious why do you think scream 2 is the best I really want to know, I was just wondering if there were people who thought this today 🌷🥀
You know what, i cant argue with any of the points here. My ranking is similar, in that i think 2, 4 and 5 are nearly identical in terms of quality. Here’s my ranking:
1. Scream (1996) - A horror classic with a great plot, memorable characters and a genius director behind it all. Need i say more?
2. Scream (2022) - This could change upon rewatch but I really liked this one. It’s a flawed but fun movie that pays tribute to Wes Craven in the best possible way.
3. Scream 4 - Great use of legacy characters while also giving us a new supporting cast that are almost as memorable as those from the original. Also my favourite killer outside of Billy and Stu in Jill.
4. Scream 2 - I enjoyed this one but certain parts just didn’t do it for me. For example, while i liked the reveal of Mickey as the killer, it was a shame that we hadn’t seen him for 45 mins or so before his reveal. Rewrites meant that at the time of shooting, anyone could have been the killer, so Wes Craven wasn’t able to get into the specifics of each Ghostface like how Billy and Stu hold their knives differently in the original.
5. Scream 3 - The weakest of the 5, in most aspects, but still also fun and a decent Scream movie overall. Like Cody says, if this is the worst of your franchise then you don’t have a problem
1. Scream 1996
2. Scream 2022
3. Scream 2
4. Scream 3
5. Scream tv series (saw a few episodes and it's not bad.)
6. Scream 4
i am very happy that kirby is officially alive in scream 5 and i hope she is in scream 6
I am waiting for your review of "Clergy 2 - In the name of the rules". It would be very interesting. 🙂
Probably 1, 2, 4, 5, 3 for me. 1 was fantastic, great characters, frightening villains, and some great musical choices that the followups have really failed to match. I was more than a little disappointed by some of the choices for the legacy cast in 5, and Melissa Barrera's acting was definitely hit or miss, with most of the new supporting cast not being particularly memorable beyond their ties to other characters in the franchise. Richie was the exception, as I rather enjoyed his character, especially when compared to the other newcomers.
I agree that 3 isn’t as some people would have you believe. I also agree that the new characters are not very good (although I am a Posey fan in other things). For me the worst is deciding that Roman orchestrated Billy and Stu into killing Maureen. That’s just too much and it’s unnecessary.
I have the exact same ranking as you:
1. Scream (10/10 - my favourite horror movie, one of the first horrors I had ever seen at 6 years old)
2. Scream 2 (9/10 - As a kid I was so scared in the cop car scene - till this day my favourite scare scene of the franchise. I don't particularly like the killer reveals and the 3rd act drama set, but Mickey was a fun character)
3. Scream 4 (9/10 - Very close to overtaking Scream 2. Jill was amazing as the killer. I wish they left in the deleted scenes of the teen cast at the water fountain talking about the killings and the scene at the hospital between Jill and Trevor - all this movie needed was a tad longer with the new cast)
4. Scream 5 (8/10 - Loved this new edition. Didn't like the critics hyping this movie as 'being the best since the original' left me a little disappointed as I would have loved putting this movie in 2nd place)
5. Scream 3 (7/10 - The most fun entry of the franchise. After re-watching this movie recently it was so ironic that this was produced by the Weinsteins, way ahead of its time with the 'casting couch' backstory. but hated how Roman's killer reveal undermined the killer reveals in the first movie).
For me with this new edition - Scream has now surpassed Nightmare on Elm street as my favourite horror franchise. Just can't deny the consistency and overall quality of the Scream movies!
My least 2 fav Scream movies have the same thing in common, Not having Kevin Williamson write the script. Scream 3 and this new scream 5. If they make another one PLEASE bring him back!!

My ranking...
Scream 3: Everything Cody said, completely agree.
Scream 4: Interesting concept involving remakes but doesn't take enough risks (in my opinion).
Scream 2: Probably the most enjoyable out of the Scream sequels, although I feel Mrs. Loomis's reveal is a bit too sudden.
Scream (2022): Both very fun and relevant (for my generation at least, we'll see in a decade how well it holds up).
Scream: Without it there wouldn't have been a franchise and still holds up today. Both an iconic and meta horror classic.
Scream 4 fan here as well!
Agree with this ranking! Great franchise
If u look at the old vhs cover of Scream 2 the Derrick character played by cheeseball actor Jerry O Connell is not on it and its actually the Cotton Weary character in his spot.
