    Below the old ones 200%
    Worse characters ever , actors are also bad and annoying.

    This franchise died a long time ago, and at this point, there's absolutely no hope it will ever come back to life.

    This is the definition of a money grab. Actors from the original are "borrowed" to validate the existence of this uninspired mess, even though these actors aren't given much or anything to do; case in point: Dewey, but Sidney also don't have any function except for distracting from the atrocious acting of Melissa Barrera (Sam) who has the same facial expression throughout most of the movie.

    None of the cast are memorable, you don't care who gets the chop next and acting is subpar from everyone, i honestly couldn't remember any of the new casts character names by the end of the film.

    Thought i'd give scream 6 a try and i can say i don't care anymore if they make another , i'm done with these movies , they manage to ruin everything.

    Had high expectations for this film - fell short.
    I am in love with the Scream franchise. I've been watching it for a while now, and I've finally gotten to Scream 5. For some reason, I was specifically excited for this one. I watched it with my sister and both of us were very, very underwhelmed. It was literally just a repeat of the first movie, just different characters and different names. And by repeat, I mean exactly the same. There was no originality, nothing to make it stand out against the other movies. Because it lacked this, it was extremely predictable and outright boring. Next, the two people behind the Ghost-face mask were extremely easy to guess, and their motives...lacked depth, lacked meaning or any reason as to why. And we didn't even see these characters that much, and their lack of screen time made the grand reveal much less shocking. Then, the acting. It was stiff and it didn't feel real, it was more like they were reading the script rather than acting it. Also, the dialogue was extremely fake. Not fluid or realistic, which made this movie even more unbearable. Now onto the characters. The characters were so poorly written. They really had some potential but the writing did not do them justice. To be honest, all the characters kinda felt the same. They weren't original, or, they didn't have original personalities. Onto my next point, which was how unbearably unrealistic this was, specifically, when it came to people surviving or dying. Some characters obviously could've defended themselves, and yes, I'm talking about Wes, who was prepared and had every tool to help himself, but they unrealistically just gave up and died, and that frustrated me. Maybe they purposefully did this, but it just did not make sense. One of my biggest complaints is how yet again Gale and Dewey split up. I mean, it's the same reused thing over and over again. I hated seeing this storyline showed. And the part where Dewey died lacked any emotion whatsoever. I expected to cry or maybe tear up because he was one of my favorite characters, but no. He just died. Nothing slow, nothing painfully sad. And since he was such a big part of the plot in all the movies, you'd expect it to be better written than that! He deserved better. And adding to that, his death wasn't very necessary, really. I felt they just killed him to make us hooked and it didn't add to the plot at all. Killing him off made no sense. Also, no one from the original cast was very important. They introduced an all new cast and Sidney and Gale had few lines of dialogue, but I wish they were more important! And onto the final and last complaint: the action scenes. Sure, they were intense, but were they scary? Were they terrifying? Were they 'I'm at the edge of my seat, screaming for the character to go left?' No. It lacked the gore, the horror, the screams. In the end, I did not enjoy this movie at all. Not my favorite installment of the series.
