04.18.25 | i really loved season 1 and 2 of the tv show, there's also a film length episode im guessing you already saw in season 2
but my top 4 still would be
scream 1, scream 4, scream 2, scream 3
scream 4 is just underrated in general |
Futures
04.18.25 | 1,2,5,4,3,6 for me. 2 is closer and closer to the og for me each rewatch.
scream 4 is pretty great but i kind of hate the fake out ending at the hospital and the digital smear filter or whatever the fuck it truly almost ruins the movie. it looks horrendous. |
budgie
04.18.25 | U LOOK HORRENDOUS |
budgie
04.18.25 | but yeah it does have a weird smushed look i always wondered why |
MillionDead
04.18.25 | I didn’t even know there was a tv show, wtf. |
Futures
04.18.25 | it looks like a soap opera with a blurry glow lol. i thought my tv was fucked up the first time i watched it! it's truly baffling. but the movie is good enough where i can look past it. |
Clumseee
04.18.25 | 1 > 2 > 4 > 5 > 3 > 6
I don't mind 4's weird filter. it's kinda cute |
CaliggyJack
04.18.25 | @budgie yep. Really good stuff. Though my fav episode of Season 2 is probably Vacancy |
budgie
04.18.25 | season 1 and 2 of the show are fun if you treat it as a separate slasher franchise that just uses the branding. (which is what it is)
season 3 i couldnt finish the first episode it was doggyyyy |
CaliggyJack
04.18.25 | Season 3 is just so fucking bad. |
BAT
04.18.25 | aside from the third act of scream 6 : the scream franchise miiight be the most consistent slasher franchise of all time, even at it's worst the craftsmanship is still top notch. they're not my all time fav wes craven movies but i do think they're the most polished movies he ever made. and yeah scream4 has aged very well imo
has anyone else seen the workprint for scream 3? it's kind of a tragedy how much they cut from that movie, the workprint feels like a 70s giallo mystery movie annnd feels like the studio just demanded they cut it into a retread of the first two. the leaked wp is after the reshoots to tone down the violence buut it's still an interesting recent development to pop up [i'd assume it's still on archive.org just look up like assembly cut or something.] |
BAT
04.18.25 | and the idea of scream with a more urban/city kid setup is an interesting concept but they made the most predictable, straightforward, nothrills knock off slasher movie than diced it up and released it as season 3. season 1&2 are formulaic and have a lot of teen drama, but they're charming and the cast grows on you. |
budgie
04.18.25 | third act of s6 is a crime against art
everyone involved should be blacklisted from society and sent to pluto |

04.18.25 | Scream 3 was made 16 years before MeToo. |
rockarollacola
04.18.25 | Love Wes Craven, but I could never get into these movies. Media including meta commentary drives me up the wall 9 times out of 10. |
budgie
04.18.25 | u just shattered my opinion of u |
budgie
04.18.25 | I LOVED U |
CaliggyJack
04.18.25 | I generally don't like Meta shit either but Scream gets away with it because it keeps the Meta stuff in-universe. As long as it isn't breaking the 4th Wall idc, I hate media that does that. |
Futures
04.18.25 | even without the meta stuff, you can really just take them as straight well made slashers with great characters. it's not like it's endless commentary. it's internally consistent. |
CaliggyJack
04.18.25 | ^exactly. The satire isn't in your face |
gabba
04.18.25 | I liked the first movie, but the ending of Scream 2 upset me so much I still can’t watch the rest. |

04.18.25 | Scary Movie 1 is my favorite Scream movie |

Hyperion1001
04.18.25 | honestly only ever seen the first one |
Hawks
04.18.25 | Really the only one you need to see. Second one is cool too. |
zakalwe
04.18.25 | I saw the original at the cinema. I cannot believe that was 30yrs ago. Christ. |
CaliggyJack
04.18.25 | Scary Movie 1 and 4 are the only ones I like. |
ConcubinaryCode
04.18.25 | I couldn't finish season 1 of scream, did they really manage to improve that much in the second season? I actually thought scream 6 was kinda fun although they really leaned in on the member berries for it. |
Hawks
04.18.25 | How do you not like Scary Movie 2???? |
Supercoolguy64
04.18.25 | 1 > 2 > 4 > 3 |

04.18.25 | "I couldn't finish season 1 of scream, did they really manage to improve that much in the second season?"
Oh you have no idea. It is night and day.
"How do you not like Scary Movie 2????"
I didn't find it that funny.

Hawks
04.18.25 | Damn. |
unclereich
04.18.25 | the 2022 film is so ass |
budgie
04.18.25 | all the scary movie films are pure garbage |
Hawks
04.18.25 | Yeah if you don't like fun. |
budgie
04.18.25 | that shit made madtv look fuhnny |
CaliggyJack
04.18.25 | MadTV was hilarious... |
Hawks
04.18.25 | Budg doesn't enjoy joy confirmed. |
CaliggyJack
04.18.25 | The carlock scene in Scary Movie 4 is one of.my favorite comedic scenes in a movie ever. |
Futures
04.18.25 | scream 5 was such a great commentary on requels that it made me like halloween 2018 a little less lol |
CaliggyJack
04.18.25 | The best Friedberg/Seltzer flick is def Vampires Suck tho.
That movie gives me stitches. |
BAT
04.19.25 | waynes bros scary movies are classic, but the entire genre of parody movies are like some of the absolute stupidest shit ever released. walk hard is objectively like a top 5 contender.
but yeah i don't even remember scary movie 4 lol, saw it in theaters and never gave it a rewatch. scary movie 1 [and scream for that matter] are within like the first 25 r-rated movies i'd seen as a kid so they're very nostalgic to me and likely fucked up my head, 2's got some banger bits but a lot of the pop culture jokes in that are a 'you had to be there' type of thing[the nike basketball commercial bit for example.] sm3 was surprisingly decent despite going pg13 and switching creators, buuut honestly most of the zucker bros stuff past naked gun has aged poorly for me...especially baseketball lol |
KevinKC
04.19.25 | They should make Scream 7 without telling anyone until it's in post prod. |

CaliggyJack
03.01.26 | Added Scream 7 after seeing it.
Writing is excellent, directing is whack but it actually helps the movie for reasons I can't explain. |
BAT
03.01.26 | eeets good? i almost went to see it last night but for whatever reason my theater was playing my bloody valentine 3d [in 3d] so i jumped on that instead lol |
Hawks
03.01.26 | Damn, me and my wife were gonna see it tonight, but heard it sucked so decided against it lol. |
CaliggyJack
03.02.26 | Idk I enjoyed it. I dont get the hate |
BAT
03.02.26 | Well there's the twitter review bomb stuff, than there's the critics mad there's another sequel(despite most people liking the sequels). I'ma see it sometime this week but yeah the whole original plan falling apart does temper my expectations a bit, but massive studio interference has always been a thing for the series |
CaliggyJack
03.02.26 | I guess i just prefer Kevin Williamson's writing when it comes to Scream. He just understands it better than any other writer imho. It is his franchise after all. Its why I prefer all the Scream movies he wrote over the ones he didn't.
What I think critics really dislike is Williamson's directing. It's... odd... I like it, but it might turn a lot of people off. It definitely feels like the man is stuck in the 90's. In terms of directing, it certainly beats Teaching Ms. Tingle lmao |
BAT
03.02.26 | I don't think I've seen anything he directed but his 90s scripts were always pretty fun, ikwyd is kinda jank storywise but the faculty rules |
CaliggyJack
03.02.26 | Teaching Ms. Tingle and Scream 7 are his only directed films so you ain't missing much.
Dont watch Ms. Tingle. It's awful lmao |
budgie
03.02.26 | is it like 5 and 6 |
CaliggyJack
03.02.26 | No. It's definitely more like 4 actually. |
