GUARDA ANCHE: La prima clip di Scream
Dagli Stati Uniti arrivano le prime reazioni su Scream, quinto capitolo della celebre saga horror, il primo senza il compianto Wes Craven.
I commenti sono ricchi di elogi. Svariati giornalisti sostengono che sia il capitolo migliore della serie dopo l’originale, e che ne omaggi l’eredità pur introducendo qualcosa di nuovo. Si parla di “acuta e sanguinosa introspezione nel genere”, “spassoso commento sull’horror moderno” e “sul fandom cinematografico”. Apprezzamenti anche per la scena d’apertura e per il terzo atto, oltre che per il cast. Stando a queste reazioni, sembra che i registi Matt Bettinelli-Olpin e Tyler Gillett (gli stessi di Finché morte non ci separi) siano davvero riusciti a confezionare un valido revival, non privo di sorprese. “Wes Craven ne sarebbe fiero” scrive qualcuno.
È noto che questa nuova incarnazione di Ghostface darà la caccia a un gruppo di adolescenti di Woodsboro, tutti legati ai personaggi del primo film: Sidney dovrà quindi tornare in azione al fianco di Gale e Dewey per fermare l’assassino. L’uscita è attesa per il 13 gennaio nelle sale italiane, con distribuzione curata da Eagle Pictures. Qui e qui potrete vedere gli spot delle settimane scorse.
Ecco i tweet con le reazioni della stampa.
As someone who has been in love with this franchise for a little over 25 years now, I totally and completely loved @ScreamMovies. Brutal kills, fun mystery & both the Legacy cast & newbies were great. Wes would be proud. #ScreamMovie #Scream pic.twitter.com/EoMkeI1CtR

#Scream is a bloody good time & serves as a touching homage/continuation to Wes Craven’s iconic franchise and features some of the gruesomest, most original killings of the series. Legacy cast perfectly blends with the fresh meat. Jasmin Savoy Brown is the MVP 🔪🔪 🩸 pic.twitter.com/AbCTYands1

The new #Scream is a BLAST & my favorite since the original. There’s some sharp writing here – a nice balance of well-crafted scares & amusing commentary on modern horror. It also pokes a lot of fun at itself, too, while remaining a bloody whodunnit & a damn good time. I’m a fan! pic.twitter.com/QZiguvUIWo

I have seen the new #Scream and it’s a winner! Yes it’s bloody, but also feels loaded with love and reverence for the original and the fandom it amassed … and felt like it was talking to me (to a degree). pic.twitter.com/x1gDCM9MYH

The new #Scream is the real deal. Such a well written script that keeps you guessing and wades into the treacherous waters of fandom in 2022. ‘Scream’ fans are going to love it. pic.twitter.com/caf2SqG0so

The 5th SCREAM film is the closest I’ve felt to the brilliance, excitement & horror of Wes Craven’s 1996 masterpiece. Hands down, the best SCREAM since the original. Beautifully honors the legacy of the first film while bringing a fresh yet brutal new tone to the franchise.❤️🎥🎞 pic.twitter.com/9LaeiyqUlF

What a welcome return to Woodsboro #Scream is! A razor sharp, bloody introspection on the genre and Wes Craven’s legacy. All the feels and one hell of a genre start to 2022. My horror heart is so full.

#Scream freakin’ slays! It’s a textbook example of how to revive and reinvigorate a franchise and do it in killer style. Brutal genius, it has the razor-sharp smarts of the finest entries in the series with a third act that absolutely nails it. Two thumbs way up! #ScreamMovie pic.twitter.com/ZMmCDUFUrj

The #ScreamMovie IS IT.
The nostalgia of it all took me back to the original film instantly. The cast was great, it’s hilarious and of course, the jump scares GOT ME GOOD.
Shoutout to the writers on this one because the writing in this is superb. pic.twitter.com/4cGh4kzcga

I loved SCREAM (2022). It pokes fun at itself, ‘elevated horror,’ and has a lot to say about movie fandom. It leans deep into legacy in the right ways and uses the ‘Scream’ family to great, and surprising, effect. New crew is excellent too, especially Jenna Ortega. #ScreamMovie pic.twitter.com/cyUrpoxMFP

La sceneggiatura è opera di James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, The Amazing Spider-Man) e Guy Busick (Finché morte non ci separi, Castle Rock).
La saga conta finora quattro capitoli cinematografici, tutti diretti da Wes Craven. Le sceneggiature sono quasi tutte di Kevin Williamson (il creatore di Dawson’s Creek), a parte il terzo film, scritto invece da Ehren Kruger.
Il franchise è passato sul piccolo schermo nel 2015, in una serie di MTV che è durata due stagioni. Una terza stagione – in realtà slegata dalle due precedenti – è andata in onda nel 2019 su VH1.
