Scream
Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past.
Scream (2022) is primarily built as a modern slasher; its core experience hinges on fear, suspense, killer figures (Ghostface), and horror imagery. Meta-commentary on horror tropes exists but does not redefine the film's identity; removing horror would significantly alter what the film is.
Best for viewers looking for a scary, high-tension and psychological horror movie.
