Dueling Critics
“[T]he new ‘Scream’ stabs and jabs at our memories of the original and creates some bloody fresh twists of its own. The franchise springs back to life — and death… This is the best ‘Scream’ since the first ‘Scream.’”
“But try as it might — and oh how it tries, mightily — to be a ‘meta-slasher whodunit,’ as one of the high school crews puts it, this ‘Scream’ feels less like a movie than a podcast about a movie, one hosted by a claque of irritating, smarty-pants commentators who don’t know when to shut up.”
