      @@Xehanort10 How do you get there without having the Ghostface's killing everyone or one of them not being revealed to the surviving characters but to the audience that would make sense and be satisfying to them? Unlike the other horror franchises the star isn't reliant on the killer but Sidney's character. This movie, for me at least, proves you can make a Scream movie with less Sidney but I don't know if you can ever kill her off without ending the franchise. Maybe get one where the killer kills everyone including Sidney then the sequel would be his next killing spree but is there legs in that kind of story? You're gonna have to create a killer that the audience will care about more than Sidney.

    Awesome ranking. Fun fact about the lighting in scream 4: it was an intentional choice. Wes wanted to make it look like a reboot and change the atmosphere compared to the prior 3. While I think the lighting/glare was a bad choice, the reasoning makes me respect it a bit more.

      There were reports that Kirby would have been confirmed dead if Scream 5 was a direct sequel to 4 like Wes Craven initially wanted. Since 4 didn’t do well enough at the box office a second trilogy was scrapped but maybe now they’ll go a different direction. Although Kirby would be very out of place if brought back

    My rankings are exactly the same as yours. Scream is my favorite franchise and I thought despite some nitpicks that Scream 5 lived up to the series and it was a fun time at the movies. I look forward to dissecting it after I’ve seen it more than once. I grew up watching the Friday the 13th marathons on USA up all night in the early 90s when I was like 12 years old. But when Scream came out I was 14 years old and it blew my mind. I saw it 5 times in the movies theater. It felt like a slasher for my generation. I’m so glad that the consistency has kept up with these movies.

    Very happy to see someone rank Scream 1/2 as 1/2! Ranking Scream 2 in 4th or 5th in the series is insane: that movie has the best suspense and chase scenes of the franchise imo: the Sidney/Hallie car scene and Gale's chase scene on the sound room was epiccc. Also, Sidney's line to Mickey: "Well you're forgetting one thing about Billy Loomis...I fucking killed him" is one of the best lines/moments in the Scream franchise. Even Sidney's line to Ghostface at the sorority party was epic: "Why don't you show your face you fucking coward." I may just be biased towards Neve because she can deliver an epic line. But in this new Scream, Sam's character fell a little flat and at points corny for me sometimes. For example, one of her lines: "Maybe I was just buying some time fuckhead" to Ghostface (something like that) didn't really resonate as empowering or epic: it just seemed kinda cheesy.

    ALRIGHT!
    So my rank goes
    1.) Scream obviously. I watched it when my Grandma was watching me when i was like 6 or 7, and she fell asleep and i watched it on tv and the intro scared me so bad because i felt like i was alone, and Sydney Prescott really made me feel like hey, if she can do it why can't i?
    2.) Scream 5, idk it was just a fun watch for me, i've started not looking at trailers and it has gave me more surprises in movies and left me to enjoy them more. I loved Dewey and was genuinely upset when what happened to him happened to him. I know that Sidney and Gale seemed like they just phoned it in but i feel like they passed the torch, so no one gets upset with one or the other dying, but we won't have to see them again.
    3.) Scream 4, I hated the overlay on the film, that made it look too smooth? it bothered me so much watching but i love the characters, particularly, Kirby, ofc, i can definitely see some narcissistic motherfuckers trying to kill people to get famous.
    (honestly though, those two will flip flop for me, i liked them both but right now 5 is my favorite)
    4.) Scream 2, when i first initially saw this, I laughed at it. I was very much afraid of horror movies when i saw this and my brothers, i remember even saying "hey look this one actually made her laugh!"
    5.) Scream 3, just wasn't interesting to me, didn't make sense to me, and Gale looked terrible
    i just said a fuck ton

    I absolutely would always watch 4 it's not a bad installment at all I however I felt 4 didn't really bring nothing to franchise I always say Jill however had the most best and logical motive out of any Ghostface of the entire Scream franchise cause how simple her motive was I did not like the cinematography much in 4 and it was kind of colorful compared to the other four films I put Scream 3 high up cause enjoy 3 and I love the climax of Sidney and Roman fighting yes I get they was trying to make the movie a lot comedic compared to the first two but 3 basically was the end of the franchise 4 didn't acknowledge Sidney past or mother or anything related to her life but writing a book but again 4 is watchable but to me it's my least favorite.

    2 - Scream 2 (I watched this before the first one, and it was my first slasher. It’s really hard not to put it as number 1 but I think they’re pretty much tied for the nostalgia)
    3 - Scream 2022 (It made me cry, okay?)
    4 - Scream 4 (bcJill actually shocked me, but in my opinion it had the weakest version of Sidney than all the others)
    5 - Scream 3 (Because of Gale’s bangs. I’m still not over them. And also the voice changer being so god**** unrealistic it killed so much of the movie for me. Also Parker Posey’s voice. If it wasn’t for those three things it would definitely hold a higher spot)

    I’m pretty shocked that you say you didn’t predict any of the killers from the first 4 movies. Billy and Stu were both very obvious, although at that time we didn’t know there would be 2 killers. Mickey and Debbie Salt were also blatantly obvious in 2 when you take everything into consideration. For 4 I knew either Charlie or Robbie had to be in on it and I even thought it was both of them at one point. Roman and Jill are the only killers who really threw me off

    Scream 4 seemed so out of place in the franchise for me, like a bit of an unnecessary film and I felt that Scream 5 did an amazing job at rectifying this imo! Sorry Scream 4 lovers, but I would happily forget this films existence haha

    Scream 2: Probably the most enjoyable out of the Scream sequels, although I feel Mrs. Loomis's reveal is a bit too sudden.
    Scream (2022): Both very fun and relevant (for my generation at least, we'll see in a decade how well it holds up).
    Scream: Without it there wouldn't have been a franchise and still holds up today. Both an iconic and meta horror classic.

    Scream 2’s impeccable world building by establishing the Stab franchise based on Gale’s book is HIGHLY under appreciated. No way any of these sequels that crib off of Stab can be placed over Scream 2. Not mention it’s brilliant opening sequence and perhaps 3 most intense sequences in the ENTIRE FRANCHISE: Randy’s death, the cop car sequence, and Gale’s film archives chase. Also, Sidney’s role in the play Cassandra is also greatly done. Scream 2 is it phenomenal and it demands respect 🤣

    4. Scream 2: the other four films are really close for me, but I put 2 here because I don't care about the killers and the new characters that much.
    3. Scream 5: awesome new entry, I loved this one. The meta can get too on the nose sometimes and they could've better fleshed out the new cast, but I love the characters and it made me hyped for this new phase of the franchise.
    2. Scream 4: I love the cast, that's it. The cast made the movie for me, the killers are amazing, Emma Roberts is insane on this and is endless rewatchable for me.
