Here's my spoiler filled thoughts on the new Scream film, numero five in the franchise, man i love this movie so much so enjoy hearing me rave and lose my mind over this. Definitely a movie worth watching more than once especially after knowing certain plot points. Bloody fun, a stylish slasher, and an all round tremendous movie, ghostface slays in this even more than he has done before. Go check it out in cinemas now

Scream is back on the big screen! This is the fifth film in the franchise but going back to its roots heavily in a "requel" sort of sense. Not quite a sequel but not quite a reboot either, a requel is the new term for that apparently but that makes me feel old because until this film explained it, I'd never heard that term in my life. Still, it's a meta, funny, thrilling, bloody good time and really surprised me how great this movie is, a very early contender for one of my favourites of the year. Loved it SO much.

The second week of January comes to an end today and so comes my weekly roundup. Not watched as many films this week however a Scream marathon and multiple anniversary rewatches of films were involved, as well as a film that may already be the worst film of 2022. So there's all that to enjoy!

After an Eleven year hiatus, Scream returned in the form of a soft legacy remake/sequel/whatever the hell it actually is, but it sure is an improvement on Scream 3 and a damn fun time at that! Silly and cheesy nonetheless but introduces a lot of new characters, for which it has the highest kill count of the series, Emma Roberts in particular is fantastic in this and returning characters are terrific too. Very enjoyable sequel

Ghostface is back for more blood in the original trilogy capper and while it isn't as strong as the first two entries, it's still a very fun time in all honesty. Better than I think most give it credit for, but still feels a lot more cheesy and comedic as opposed to being a creative meta slasher like first and second. But man this franchise is great, worth a watch to see how the trilogy ends so enjoy!

The next chapter in the Scream franchise followed just a year after the original, and for such a quick turnaround, it's really impressive. I had a lot more fun with this film than I thought I would. A fresh and inventive sequel that doubles down on the meta nature that comes with these films. I'd definitely recommend it!

A brand new Scream movie hits our screens this week, so I've revisited the one to start it all off in 1996. An extremely fun, meta slasher film that knows how to have fun with tropes and conventions of the genre. It still holds up pretty damn well for a 26 year old film and the kind of thing that is made by film fans, for film fans, about film fans. I had a great time and weirdly very excited for the new one after this!

It should come as no surprise that I watch a LOT of films. I already review a lot of films but I watch even more than I can mention in episodes, so I've decides to start a new branch of reviews where each Sunday I'll let you know what films I've seen from Saturday-Friday in the week before, and give little reviews or recommendations on what's now and worth a watch. Hopefully I manage to keep this up for the whole of 2022! Enjoy!

Kenneth Branagh's latest film is out in UK cinemas at the end of January and its well worth a watch, perhaps even a surefire Oscars contender with great performances, INCREDIBLE cinematography and a really powerful yet simple story set during the 1969 riots in Belfast. I loved this a lot more than I thought I would, and I hope others do too!

Aaaand here's the worst 10 films from 2021, unlike the top films I was actually able to list a solid 10 although there are PLENTY more that I could've included, but this is a nice cohesive rant about all the rubbish that got released in the past year. While opinions on movies are entirely subjective, I think this list is pretty solid as being the worst of the worst so hopefully you agree too, so enjoy!
