I really liked the Mindy and Tara characters.
Arguably, I thought Tara should've been the lead character.
I really hope they bring back both of them for future sequels.
EASILY she should have been the lead she was the best
Absolutely agree!! Tara 100% should've been the lead!!
I didn't like even like the main girl, Tara Totally should've been the main actress. It was almost like Tara knew what she was doing while Sam or what's her name was can't even care to remember, was lifetime movie level acting.
I think they could’ve easily wrote this movie without Sam in it. She was just excess imo
Tara is the long term new final girl. Sam is the fake and I think that's what we'll see in the sequel or third if they succeed at requeling.
I thought that Tara's actor was so brilliant in Scream 2022. In the opening scene where she gets stabbed through the hand, and the camera shows her face from above as she's looking at the knife, her face is emoting pure terror, confusion and shock in a way that is so unsettlingly believable. She gave it her ALL and it totally worked for me, I believed her. I can't say the same thing for her older sister, Sam. I found myself watching Sam's scenes and thinking "hmm she's obviously acting and not delivering a convincing performance." Lots of people praise her, though, so maybe I'm the only one! I just thought Tara crushed it and would make a stronger final girl than Sam
jenna is amazing
AGREED. jenna killed it as tara but my friend i saw this which literally said that it seemed like the actress that played sam was reading her lines from a teleprompter🤦♀️it totally felt like she was delivering her lines a beat early too, like her timing was off. really through the entire movie for me.
@@joyce2837 haha the teleprompter comment is harsh, but also I so validate that interpretation. Yeah, I can't put my finger on it, but I just didn't believe her. I could tell she was acting and that's an issue lol
She was annoying, had no heart , or compassion... she was trash!
I thought sam’s actress fine but Sam as a character was really interesting . I liked how she wasn’t just copy of Sidney and had a darker side to her
I loved Scream 5, I really loved Tara! I thought she was an incredible character, I'd love to see more of her. I really liked Mindy and Chad too. Also I'm so happy to see how high up Scream 4 was in your list, personally I love Scream 4 so much. I know a lot of people dislike it but it's definitely one of my favorite Scream movies! I think for the most part I agree with your ranking of the movies too!
Agreed 100%!! Tara mindy and chad are all my favs 🖤🥂
If we get a Scream 6, I really hope they return! Tara, Mindy and Chad were great characters!
Me too
I didn't know Scream 4 was disliked until like this week lol
@@Yeaster at the time people were more mixed about it but currently a lot more ppl appreciate it
my hot take is that pretty much any combination of scream movie rankings are valid as long as they have number 1 first. i think they all have something fun to offer across the board. really love the franchise as a whole.
Agreed! I keep watching these ranking videos and I’m like ok ok I see why you would rank them that way but the original Scream is a damn near perfect film and I think we can all agree it deserves to always be number one.
yeah number 1 is clearly the best hands down.
number 3 is the only one I didn't really like though.
For me as a scream stan I would personally rank it:
Scream 1
Scream 4
Scream 2
Scream 5
Scream 3
Also I really enjoyed 5 but the serial killer gene from riverdale killed it for me.
lmao
I would prbly switch 5 and 2, also as a hardcore fan
Completely agree! My rankings the same
I have the same rankings, Lol
I loved how the 5 killers were mirrors of modern horror fan bases
5CREAM was probably one of the most fun experiences I’ve had in a theater, so glad that Radio Silence was behind it as Ready or Not was my favorite movie to come out in 2019, so I knew that the franchise was in capable hands. Definitely a physical buy once it releases on home media.
you're such a great content creator that sometimes I don't agree with you at all or I'm not necessarily interested in the subject of the video yet I enjoy watching every minute of it! you're very eloquent and an awesome communicator exposing your opinions and ideas perfectly! love your videos, huge fan!
this means a lot thank you!
13:41 To be honest i enjoyed the second Scream more than the first. Mrs Loomis turning out to be one of the killers actually REALLY caught me off guard and i loved that. First one was too predictable, second one was a little less predictable. I know the point is that the first one was supposed to be predictable but i don't typically enjoy predictable movies 🤷🏻♀️
I loved Scream 5, Mindy and Tara were my favorite characters! The only negative was the killers motive, I thought it wasn’t convincing enough, other than that I loved it! Also this movie had a lot of stakes ( iykyk) and I congratulate the producers and the directors for having the balls to do some things!
yes LOVE Tara!
@@PossessedbyHorror Ortega stole every scene she was in, I would hate to be in her shoes in some of the scenes. The suspense was out of the roof with this one
@@lukavojinovic7246 you can feel that she was terrified when ghostface came and Sam never really showed much she was okay
@@Ghostface1998 yes!! Especially during that scene in the hospital where Sam reveals the truth to Tara, it didn't feel dramatic at all because of how non expressive the actress was. Felt like she was just reading off her lines
@@bloandon I hope she does a better job in the next one considering it’s been getting mostly good reviews and the rotten tomatoes is just about the same as scream 1 and 2 even tho imo I don’t think there’s a bad scream movie that it’s the most consistent franchise when it comes to quality and acting
Scream 4 and 5 are definitely interchangeable for me as my favorite sequel. I think 4 had a much stronger third act, keeping you guessing like the original, and great reveals too. I think the first two acts of 5 were executed better though. Really liked the new cast and didn’t want any of them to die. A lot of people talk about the fourth kill for obvious reasons, but I found the second and third kills to be really sad. Tonally, 5 is certainly the bleakest, which also helps it stand out.
The 3rd kill was devastating. Can you imagine the anxiety the character must’ve been feeling??
@@Yeaster SPOILER ALERT since my first line would give it away regardless
I saw the movie with my mom, and I was imagining being in that scenario, which is probably why it hit me so hard. Could’ve been worse though, like if Wes was killed first and his mom found his body 😢 Kinda wish he made it further into the movie, but it was a great scene nonetheless.
I watched 5 its was decent but I still think 4 was better
For me, 2 and 5 are kind of interchangeable. My clear fave is 1 and clear last is 3. 4 is second last and 2 and 5 are pretty much on par
I absolutely loved scream 5 purely on the fact of how brutal the kills were, it was also the first time I got to see Ghostface on the big screen!! Now as of ranking them it goes : best to worst for me, 1: Scream (1996), 2: Scream (2022) 3: Scre4m 4: Scream 2 & finally Scream 3
same
As a massive Scream, I really appreciate your fair and well reasoned praise and criticism for the series, definitely gonna subscribe
Ya the actress who played Tara is becoming a fav of mine. Literally everything I’ve seen her in she KILLS it (no pun intended). I’m excited to see her in more stuff
She's great in Yellowjackets
Agree! She's an amazing actor
After a few rewatches, Scream 2022 finally dethroned Scream 4 as my favorite sequel. I was on the fence with my first viewing, but it grew on me with each additional watch. It really feels like a movie Wes would be proud of. Also, super glad to hear that someone else ranks Scream 2 last, felt like I was the only one for the longest time haha.
Really ? No chase scenes. So much bad writing, no heart. Dewey got taken down in an unrealistic fashion after we found out who the killer was... by that tiny twig who was frail and would have folded after 1 punch? Please. The sheriff calling for backup and it taken so long so they can get a kill in... Samanatha was wack.... NOt enough usage of legacy characters. Please...
@@lalareal180 your so closed minded it's unreal. The Scream movies are meta. Dewey went back to shoot the killer in the head which is one of the rules randy stated. Its a really meta way of killing Dewey. And your just assuming because Amber is smaller it means she'd struggle to fight. Dewey was a character well into his 50s he isn't going to be as strong as he was when he was younger. And he'd already sustained injuries that were still affecting him in later life. The killer looked knocked out to dewey. They jumped up and stab surprised him. He had no chance at that point. Your saying it took ages for the police to get there. No it didn't. Judy was a minute down the road when wes was threatened. It would take 5-10 mins for the police to get there, giving the killer enough time to kill both of them. And the series can't keep relying on the legacy character considering one of them is pushing 60. They need a new cast to take over. We know kirby reed is alive now and she might take over. Who knows. Your probably just made cos Wes Craven didn't direct. But the new directors did a fantastic job honouring the original
@@crystalchandelier22 Just because you say Meta a lot doesn’t make up for the writing being lazy.
@@jarredah Mate I said meta once in that whole paragraph. The writing wasn't lazy at all. It was clever, it was witty, it was thrilling but as was said in this video a possible mistake was making itself too meta but then taking itself seriously at the same time. But apart from that the movie was great. Most people who don't like this movie just don't get what it was trying to do
@@lalareal180 lmao right? Kevin Williamson really needs to write the next scream movie (if they make another one.). These new writers are not it
Scream 3 is purposely campy and that’s what I love about it!
I’ll have to respectfully disagree with you as a hardcore scream fan on your placement of scream 2 imo it’s still the best sequel. My ranking goes 1,2,5,4,3. I love all of them the difference in spots is just not by much. Tara is honestly the better of the sisters which is kinda sad since Sam is supposed to be the main lead while she’s fine I can watch her Jenna Ortega’s character did it much more for me. Scream 5 was good the ghostface reveal was obvious, the motive was interesting, the kills were fine there was 2 really good ones since this franchise is just stabs, it’s a good movie tho.
I was surprised that she ranked Scream 2 at the bottom. She is the first person that I heard that doesn’t like 2. Many Horror fans say 2 is one of the best horror sequels for horror movies franchise. I would place two in my top three for Scream films.
@@0807Kitty ikr same like it totally caught me off guard the kills get better , the intro is still good, the cast is really good, ghostface is scary same for the calls, the killer reveals are pretty good, returning cast are really good especially Neve Campbell , the third act is really good, it has one of the best kills in the franchise with the pole in the head, it has one imo the best line in the franchise from Sidney “You’re forgetting one thing about Billy Loomis … I fuckin killed him”. Like it’s really entertaining so it shocked me it was last on her list but that’s her opinion so it’s okay it’s not like she said it’s an awful movie
I agree on this ranking mines is the same :)
I like parts of scream 5 but didn't love it overall. 🤷🏻♀️ I feel like I'm missing out because everyone loves it
same, i don't get the "great pacing" i was bored throughout and actually checked how much time was left like 3 or 4 times!!!
I think it has good ideas but it loses steam midway
I was disappointed in it myself. I didn’t get the character development I needed to be invested in the new characters. I didn’t feel anything when they died, and I don’t find myself really caring about what happens next for the survivors. I also didn’t like how the Legacy characters were just there for no real reason. It ended up feeling like it was a “here they are, give us your money” kind of thing. (I think 4 did a better job at using the legacy cast to bring in the new cast. That could have helped this movie in my opinion.) I wasn’t particularly blown away by the motive, but the thing that has bugged me is the “toxic fandom” thing. In some fan spaces it has been used as “oh you didn’t like this movie because you are one of the toxic fans they talked about.” That’s not really a good look. Hoping that the sequel will help bring it home for me.
Scream 2 was a favorite for me. Nostalgic probably and more open ended setting on the college campus. It was felt like good summer fun. The lighting had more color which might be why I love it. It's the only movie I felt as it was not as closed off because the story revolves around Woodsboro, high school, or a house. Recently watched Scream (2022). Not a gore fan but I'm seeing the kills having a theatrical spin to it. With or without a good crowd, the movie was good.
Scream 2 has always been my favourite of the series. I think it does what every great sequel should do. The cast are bigger, Sidney’s arc after the attack of the first one and the amount of chase sequences. Everything just feels more elevated in the second. Enjoyed the ranking
The original is best but Scream 2 is my favourite sequel, I think it continued the story brilliantly and it was cool to see Sid at college and also being much more confident. They killed Randy though :(
@@ksmax6310 Randy dying was horrible although I do think it was a great way to up the stakes. I’ve always wished it was Dewey though
loved this video so much! my ranking (at the moment) is Scream, Scream 5, Scream 3, Scream 2, Scream 4… but i’m a huge fan of the franchise and it changes. totally agree that Tara stole the show in 5, she was amazing!
I liked Scream 5, but I think I expected too much from it and ended up being a bit disappointed, especially by the climax... Still a pretty good movie, probably my 2nd favorite after the original
So excited you're back! Love your videos. Hope you're recovering well!
I've actually found that Scream 4 is climbing higher in people's ranks lately! I personally love the characters and it's my #2 as well
Scream 5 was my first one and it was SO much fun. I only knew how meta the movies were and it still surprised me a lot. Much much better than I expected and it made me interesting in the other ones! I want to watch them now
I always say that Scream is a good series to start with if you are new to horror or maybe aren't super into gore because this series is when you are going to see the tropes shine through, the predictability... they are lighter than most series. I love them! I hope you get the chance to see the other 4!
@@averybland6983 agreed! Hope they watch the over 4, they are very entertaining films at the very least and I genuinely enjoy all of them and that’s coming from someone who barely likes franchises and sequels.
I love you’re content! I really love your book reviews, I’m gotten so many great books thanks to you!
I found your channel today and I've watched way too many of your videos already! I love your content, your personality, all of it xx
i loved the movie right up until the end. it was almost perfect and my 2nd fav, but the killer reveal was awlful and there was nothing memorable abt it. no cool twist. nothing that hadn’t been done before. and personally i wish sidney got more screen time, other than that i actually enjoyed the movie a lot, i’d give it a 7/10
I disagree with the killer reveal. I mean I'd agree in reference to the male killer because I think he sucked in general tbh. But the female killer was somewhat predictable but I didn't see the reveal coming it was very sudden and out of the blue.
@@crystalchandelier22 yeah. i mean the actual reveal wasn't bad at all, i just mean i don't like who they chose to make the killers. i think it wouldve been alot more interesting if tara was a killer rather than maybe amber bc she didn't really have anything that made her interesting or important
@@hellsbellas Idk I think Tara is more final girl material in my opinion. But I'd love to see Stu return alive and possibly brainwash Sam into becoming a killer with him and then a final showdown between Stu & Sam vs all the ghostface survivors (Sidney, Gale, Mark Kincaid, Kirby Reed, Tara and Mindy)
^^ I don't care for Chad
@@crystalchandelier22 stu coming back would be amazing. To be honest I got a little too into the fan theory that he was/is still alive and would potentially be in this one and was let down a bit. Still enjoyed it, agree with @Relix that Amber didn't seem to have as much of a reason to be in on it other than liking Richie, but Tara is too good of an character (and too well acted of one) to be a killer, they've gotta get her in more movies.
I seriously love your idea for the next one of Stu going in with Sam to kill. Though, isn't it a rule in the franchise that a killer can't come back? But even if it is with this last movie half the rules can be thrown out, yeah?
@@crystalchandelier22 yeah that would be great but probably unlikely. I think overall either tara or sam shouldve been the killers, bc they were the only 2 new characters who were interesting.
Great ranking! I loved hearing you talk about my favorite horror franchise!
Yesss I just saw it yesterday and I was wondering when you were going to make this !
Loved this video, Sarah! Especially when it’s covering my favorite franchise. I must admit I’m a die hard fan. I respect your opinions throughout although mine are different. As Randy says in the original “everyone is a suspect” so they intentionally always play it that way, but Scream (2022) I sadly could tell from the beginning who it was. Was that disappointing? Yes and no, because at times I was like “wait what? Maybe I’m wrong!“ and it just kept me on my toes even though I knew it had to be them, and that’s what the original did for me as well. Scream 2022 is definitely more of a closing chapter for the OG three, I didn’t feel like it was necessarily forcing them into the story, but can see how you feel that way. I think it was a perfect love letter to Wes and the fans filled with Easter Eggs that included the way certain scenes were shot, to the music, and just so many little things I appreciated as a fan of this franchise. I did read an article yesterday where the writers/directors said their intention is to not make this into a trilogy or to continue after Scream (2022) with the franchise and I couldn’t be happier about that, because I think they ended it beautifully.
I could’ve sworn that last part of no more movies is false cause I could’ve sworn in an interview they said there are many stories to tell in woodsboro and that they are intending on a trilogy with passing the torch to Melissa’s character of Sam. Plus the whole promotion of “everyone’s a suspect” while being right was also wrong like obviously everyone knew that the returning cast was never gonna be any of the killers just didn’t make sense and the reveal of ghostface was easy
@@Ghostface1998 I can’t find them explicitly saying that, but the actors have said multiple times there is a new franchise intended with the new generation
@@Apathist1408 kevin williamson confirmed there are plans for SCREAM 6 if SCREAM (2022) rocks the box office, which so far, I think it is.
@@midnightrain2547 uh it literally surpassed Spider-Man: No Way Home so I’d say it’s doing good
@@midnightrain2547 I was shook when I saw that lmao
I liked Scream 5. The only thing I didn’t like is that they didn’t show us anything about Sidney’s life since Scream 4. I would’ve loved just 5-10 minutes of her raising her kids and living her life. It would be interesting to see how she raises her kids and lives her life after all of the tragedy and trauma she’s gone through. Kinda like Laurie in Halloween (2018), but obviously not to that extent. Just a scene or two.
I’ve never clicked a video so fast! One of my favorite CZcamsrs and my favorite movies ❤️❤️ completely agree with everything! The new movie was amazing!
I liked the new Scream, it was good but the first original Scream movie is my top favourite out of all of them. I don’t have a least favourite though so it’s hard for me to rank them since I like them all
our rankings are very similar except our #2s and #4s are switched! scream is my all time favorite movie and as of now my fav franchise! tara was absolutely fantastic and definitely a stand out for me!
I love so much that so many people talk about Scream right now. Great video!
I also got hospitalized the day Scream came out, so I got to see it later. And then some mean people in the comments spoiled the killer reveal for me. But despite that I still enjoyed Scream so much 🖤 So happy to see my family horror franchise back.
Scream is easily my favorite horror and I pretty much love every single one (except for 3).
It's funny how I don't mind them being repetitive at all; that's what makes Scream for me: the opening kill, Red Right Hand, the Stab movies and obviously trying to guess who the killer is.
My ranking is:
5. Scream 3
4. Scream 4 (it has my favorite killer tho)
3. Scream 2022
2. Scream 2
1. Scream
My ranking is 1,4,5,2,3. I enjoyed 5 a lot, I thought it was gonna dissappoint me like Halloween Kills but I think it kept up with the previous sequels and had funny bits. Also agree with the predictability lmao
Perfect ranking.
@@neutralman9124 nah its cringe ngl
@@1Haaku you are lying though
@@neutralman9124 nah bra that list is trash ong
@@neutralman9124 u a weirdo too
Girl I was REACHING for this ranking thank u sm
Excellent video!!
This was really fun to watch! I adore the Scream films- they got me started in the horror fan culture as well as fostering my academic interest in writing about horror. I also adore Scream 4 (absolutely one of my favourites in the franchise) and I wish it got more love. It was wonderful to hear your praise for it.
I like Sam’s story for the sort of supernatural element she has with seeing Billy….it was like a callback to Sydney seeing her mom. But I’m not sure where Sam goes from here unless they make her a killer. I agree that Tara and Mindy are the standouts and I hope they continue on in the next films
I was expecting her to kill someone at the end like a sort of cliffhanger that would of been brilliant
@@pinkbeatle2012 Like in Halloween 4 when Jamie attacks her foster mom in the end
ok but your thumbnail tho 🔥 how the knife goes into the second DVD *chef’s kiss
My list:
Scream 1
Scream 2
Scream 5
Scream 4
Scream 3
I love all of these movies so it is a bit difficult to rank them but 3 just takes the cake as the worst one at least to me. The single killer (unless you headcanon Angelina as the second killer like I do), the magic voice changer, the weird thing between Sidney and Kincaid, there’s so much stuff in that movie that I just don’t like.
Scream 5 was amazing btw, this was my first Scream movie in theaters as well and being such a big Scream fan, it felt like it was made for me and the rest of the fanbase (which is funny considering its meta converse about toxic fandoms). Also Jenna (Tara), Jasmin (Mindy), and Mason (Chad) were such standouts in this movie, I love them so much. It’s truly amazing to see how big of Scream fans the new cast is just from interviews.
OMG you helped me realize something about Scream 5, yeah Sidney, Gale, and Dewey felt forced into the script but that was the killers whole point?!?! The Stab movies had gone down the drain and had nothing to do with the OG story so they felt like they needed to force back the OG characters for better content in future sequels. It was meta fan service which is hilarious considering the killers are toxic fans XD Scream 5 just unseated Scream 3 for my favorite sequel
I enjoy the first Scream, but to me Scream 2 is the best.
Sidney, Dewey, Gale, Randy, & Cotton all feel like better, more fleshed out characters.
The opening kill in the movie theater was terrifyingly creepy and creative,
Halle to me is a much better, more supportive friend than Tatum was and Derek is easily my favorite of the love interests.
Joel was one of the smartest characters across 5 movies and 3 Seasons, as he was smart enough to distance himself from an area of constant killings occurring.
I love how this was the first movie that had the balls to kill off a legacy character, quite brutally.
Timothy Olyphant as Mickey was a joy every second on screen and probably did more damage to Sidney than the other 8 killers did put together. He causes severe emotional trauma, depression and anxiety that haunts Sidney daily to the point she doesn’t feel safe taking her baby for a walk without carrying a gun.
Especially on rewatch, he has so many moments of twisted, manipulative scenes where he is loving the torment that he is causing.
Mrs. Loomis is also terrifyingly psychotic, while having one of the smartest plans of all 9 killers.
She does make the classic killer mistake of being overconfident towards the end of her plan, but that is almost a given with ANY killer in a slasher movie
💯👍🏻😉💜
Jenny Ortega as Tara in 5 was the saving grace of the film for me. She was absolutely phenomenal and I wished they spent more time with her than, well … anyone else. I actually was really disappointed in the fifth instalment
its funny bc i have the exact opposite opinion, i actually liked pretty much everyone else’s performances but i just cannot stand jenna ortega as an actress and i thought she brought down the movie for me
She's amazing in The Babysitter 2 as well
@@reesepasquarello1355 Melissa Barrera as Sam literally made my skin crawl. Girl’s got one facial expression = 👁👄👁
agree with you 100%, jenna was my favorite part about 5
I absolutely loved Scream 5 and now it has cemented Scream as my favorite horror movie franchise
We both really enjoyed Scream 5, and our ranking video is coming out on Monday! Which funny coincidence, your ranking lines up perfectly with one of our ranks as well!
We just finished up making a drinking game for every movie in the franchise (2022 film included which is released tomorrow) and gotta say we had a tonne of fun with the Scream franchise! One of the more consistent horror franchises I'd say, in terms of quality movies.
WELCOME BACK !!!
I think I totally agree with this list ❤🙌 Great job!
I love your videos and I love your opinions - especially when they're different from mine! so I'm hitting thumbs up on this even though I knew it wasn't the video for me when you listed my favorite as your least favorite! But Scream is also the franchise that got me into a horror in the 90s when it came out, so I know and own my sentimental bias. :D
I love Scream 5 it was great! Tara was amazing, I already love Jenna Ortega but this solidified her as one of my favorites. Cant wait to hopefully see her in the next. But I am rly excited to see her in X (coming in March) cuz I also love Ti West and Kid Cudi and I really like Mia Goth and Brittany Snow too so rly great cast.
Scream is my favorite franchise & I've been so excited about your video! You nailed it with the original, it truly is the best, & Billy & Stu just can't be topped. Scream 5 was also the first one I got to see in theater and I loved it! It was a perfect addition to the franchise, and I agree that I hope we get a lot more Tara in any future movies.
The video I’ve been waiting for
I will say the Opening of scene of Scream 2022 was the the second best of the series. They were all good in their own way. But the intensity and suspense of the scene with Jenny Ortega's acting was very effective!
love how you thrive on this channel 🥰❤️
My ranking is nearly the same, with just two switched:
1) Scream
2) Scream 4
3) Scream 3
4) Scream 5
5) Scream 2
I like the new film but have so many issues with it. That being said, I hope I grow to like it more the more I see it. 😆
I had to wait for our newest lockdown to end before I watched this video. Scream is my favorite horror franchise, Scream 1 is in my top 3 horror movies of all time. 3&4 were low-tier in comparison to the first two, but I absolutely loved this one. The gore, the suspense, the acting (aside from Sam and Amber) was IMPECCABLE. I am very very happy with how this turned out. Especially in an age when remakes and sequels are below bottom tier.
I've never seen someone have Scream 2 as their lowest ranked, it's always a toss up between 3/4, but that's why I love your videos! They're always different than what one would expect
Off to see Scream (2022) on the big screen on weds, so excited but very daunted! I saw Scream 2 in the cinema when it came out and the opening scene was heightened being in that environment! Love the ranking and love this video.
great video! my personal favourite is 2 lol, mainly because it has a bit of a nostalgia factor for me. for some reason it's the one i've seen the most out of all of them. also happy you ranked 4 so high! that's 3rd on my list (2, 1, 4, 5, 3) but i'm very excited to do a rewatch of all of them once 5 comes out on dvd and see how my list fares then. :D
happy you did like 5! it did have some things i wasn't in love with but still really good and a lot of fun. and agreed jenna ortega is an excellent actress! think she could become an iconic scream queen in the future
I love when you put out rankings like this. I find it interesting in general when anyone does it - and specifically hearing their explanations of “why” - but I’m especially drawn to yours because we often have similar tastes. For example, I loved the opening of Scream 4 with all the fake outs, and I know not everyone else does, so hearing you enjoyed it too gives me confidence that we’re of similar mind once again in this franchise. Same with your horror/black comedy stance here. So, in cases like this, where I haven’t seen the latest one yet (and THANK YOU for skipping spoilers on it), I have a good idea of where it’ll rank for me too. I appreciate this insight very much. Please keep sharing your opinions, “unpopular” or not, and ignore the haters. (I will never understand why some people so vehemently hate when others offer differing opinions anyway…it’s utterly silly.) I mainly just want to emphasize that your content is loved and valued by many, and to encourage you to keep up the good work. I hope your dental surgery recovery goes quickly and smoothly for ya too. ❤️
I honestly think scream 4 is my favorite scream sequel love the characters and also the reveal of jIll Scream 4 was ahead of it’s time
I'm a huge scream fan, I love all of them, and I totally agree with your rankings. I am hoping for scream movies in the future to be even better
Great video. We have the same top 3 except I have Scream 5 at #2 since I thought it was great plus Tara, Mindy, and Chad were such fun characters to watch. It was nice to see Scream 4 ranked high because it such a fun and chaotic movie.
Personally, I enjoyed Scream 5, but it almost felt like a repeat of the original movie with some changes. In that case, here’s my ranking
1. Scream
2. Scream 2
3. Scream 4
4. Scream 5
5. Scream 3
am i the only one who thought the new scream movie was meh?
😂
I just watched the new Scream movie before watching your video and as a big fan of this franchise I totally agree with your ranking! This new movie is so enjoyable, I totally agree
loved this video so much! my ranking (at the moment) is Scream, Scream 5, Scream 3, Scream 2, Scream 4… but i’m a huge fan of the franchise and it changes. i got to meet Skeet & Matthew last year and it was the coolest experience ever 😅
Scream 2022 is a masterpiece. I’d put it in the #2 spot but I gotta rewatch all of them haha.
It's been 11 years since I've gotten to see Scream 4 in theatres and for Scream 2022 I got to take my 2 best friends (who I binged all 4 movies with throughout October) and my boyfriend (who hasn't seen any but the original) we saw it in a 4DX theatre and at the end their first reaction was I understand why this is something you see in theatres. The brutality and gore was amazing. Even with all the references my boyfriend didn't get a lot but didn't bother him at all. The way he described it was it's nostalgia for fans and random moments for newcomers. The original 3 coming back was nice because this truly was the passing of the torch. I believe Wes would have been deeply proud of this film.
I really love that you spoke about how, culturally, impactful Scream was as well. Not a lot of people take that into consideration and Scream was a whole phenomenon then and now. It created a lot of waves, some not so great like a true crime case but also in horror. Amazing vid!
The original is pure perfection and I loved scream 2 like its so iconic lol I can't explain it haha
I loved the new movie. For many reasons. But I was complete taken aback by my own reaction to Courney Cox' harrowing screaming and starting crying like a baby for minutes after it ended.
Plus I love that the kills and stabbings were more graphic and the Scream voice was loooovely.
Thanks for helping me pick movies for my Halloween birthday movie night 🙏🖤
My ranking order from favorite to least favorite is 1, 3, 5, 4, 2. Honestly I love them all but I just love watching some more than others :)
I loved the new Scream, Mindy was my fave character! I’ve only seen the original and new one so will be watching the rest as they seem to be really fun movies. When the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie is released on Netflix would you consider ranking the whole franchise? 😊
We need an updated list!!💯🙏🏼❤️
I’ve been waiting for this video! I liked 5 but I thought it could of been a lot better, my ranking would be 1,4,3,5,2. The first scream is one of my favorite horror films ever 🖤
I still haven't seen the new one. But this makes me even more excited. You are great at ranking movies. As a Scream fan I agree 100 percent with that order. I honestly enjoyed 4 more then I thought I would. Its almost like the sequel the original should have had. In my opinion. I also think there is more gore in the new one due to Wes Craven not being apart of it. He gets more on the physiological level. These guys I'm sure wanted to take it to a whole other level. There will be more I'm sure. And honestly they never get old to me. In fact they are getting better.
You're awesome thank you🖤🔥
I just watched it and I loved it, it made me cry and I loved the ending. Good movie!
My ranking of the scream franchise is exactly the same as yours tbh, i love the new scream but scream 4 introduced one of my favourite charecters in the franchise, Kirby, who if you didnt already know is now confirmed alive by scream 5
ahhh i’m so glad u enjoyed scream 5, i really want them to make another one but i’m scared if they do they will kill off tara and i can’t have that happen😭
Scream is probably my favorite horror franchise so I've been waaaiting for this! Haven't seen the new one yet but otherwise pretty much agree with your rankings.
i really loved scream 5! i loved mindy and tara as characters and i loved the skeet ulrich cameo!
1. loved this video
2. your eyeliner looks INCREDIBLE
YES!
Felt like I was the only one who thinks Scream 2 is the weakest out of the franchise. Still a decent movie but it’s not that great
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO DOESNT LIKE THAT MOVIE TY- def the worst of the franchise.
@@hellsbellas I agree but the opening is so damn good Jada Pinkett Smith nailed it!
Current ranking (after only one viewing of the new one so definitely TBD) is 1>2>5>3>4. I love them all and they're all at least four stars to me. I really think 5 absolutely crushed it with the satirical angle. Not only the idea of "requels" and how that trend relies on nostalgia and the sort of "elevated" horror (as Tara calls it), but also the discussion of fandom and fan responses to sequels and franchise direction (and I kind of see the fan service as a meta depiction of that). Also as a huge Wes Craven fan I thought they did a great job of paying tribute to him, not just in the dedication, but in actually incorporating a tribute to him within the film, which was really fucking clever.
The 5th is my new favourite movie, period. BUT it's only thanks to the first installment. I totally agree with your put on fan service and as a huge fan (got a ghostface tat and looking to get more) I LOVED seeing them come back. I personally think Scream 5 wouldn't be the hit that it is if the previous installments, especially the first one, didn't exist. Great as a 5th, maybe not as good as a first installment. Love the vids ♥
Tara and mindy should be the Sidney and Tatum that never was. They could easily carry this new potential trilogy and create the final girl(s)
the way ive seen scream 5 three times already, gosh i love it so much
Scream 3 is definitely at the top of my list, definitely the most fun of them all. The OG is number one on my list but I'm till trying to figure out if I like 5 or 3 more. Three is the farthest of them all from a horror for sure. And yea, I really wish we were in a time where I could have seen this with a big crowd instead of me reacting to everything alone while the few other folks were silent, lol.
I love the "Scream" movies. My favorite is the first one with the scene at the video store when Jamie Kennedy talks about a masked killer that comes to life, including Chucky from Child's Play 3, Jason from Friday the 13th Part 8 Jason Takes Manhattan (my favorite), Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street 6 aka Freddy's Dead The Final Nightmare and Michael Myers from Halloween 8 Resurrection.💙💙💙💙💙💙. Also, these movies are non-stop action with scared scenes like Chucky when he bust the box out on Child's Play 3.😊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Great video! I haven’t seen the fifth one yet, so thanks for no spoilers. I’ve always found the Scream movies to be extremely self-aware. Somewhat horror, but emphasis on the camp/trope elements of slasher movies.
PS “spoiler free” really shouldn’t have things like “I really hope Tara comes back” bc now we know that character doesn’t die.
bestie you look stunning
i rank Scream 5 as my favorite film in the Scream series however I think a lot of it has to do with my experience with it, since I saw 5 with my friends on opening night, where as with the other movies I was like 10 when I saw them in my basement.
Great video! I'm a definite mega scream fan, so I disagree with some ranking, but I can understand your reasons, and totally respect your opinion. I am always split on where to place scream 2, on one hand I want to place it high because I really love Jamie Kennedy as Randy, but I also don't like the killers, and how it always seems that ghostface just walks into the kills, there is always a large factor of luck involved. It always seems to float around 3rd place in my list. Mine would probably go
1. Scream
2. Scream 2022
3 scream 4
4. Scream 2
5. Scream 3
I think your favorite in the series is dependent on your age/memories with it. I grew up watching the first one on VHS as a kid but I got to see 4 in theaters as a long time fan & for that 4 is my favorite. It’s the perfect “remake” to me and has the most shocking killer reveal.
i really love your content , And i was wondering what your thoughts are on the lazarus effect if you have seen it
i loved scream 5 but one of the main characters (Sam) was extremely weak to me. no final girl power or anything from her. i seriously only enjoyed and liked her at the very end of the movie lol. she got so much screen time for what!? but that was my main gripe with the movie, otherwise i loved it all!
Only grip... okay bad writing - Deweys killer was the tiny frail twig? She could have lasted that long and eaten them punches like she did? haha made his death a joke. No chase scenes. Sam was lame. Annoying teens talking like the smart adults they never will be. Sheriff calls cops in small town for backup, they never arrive so the killer can kill... got it bad writing...
@@lalareal180- yep, that's exactly what I thought about Dewey's death scene! No way was she overpowering and managing to kill him. I know it's just a film, but come on, gotta make it at least a bit believable?! 🤷🏻♂️
Your ranking is my ranking as well! So glad you enjoyed the new movie.
