Scream (2022)

Ghostface makes a killing comeback, on the 25th anniversary of the shocking events, despite the fact that the real culprits are no longer alive.

'Scream' is another iteration of the famous franchise, made 25-ish years after the first film. The plot is not the most original, and the twist is predictable, but the suspense is still believable and worth watching.

Director:  Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett  
With: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Marley Shelton, Jack Quaid
