There’s still a week to go until the January 14th theatrical release of the new Scream movie, but the film was screened for critics and journalists last night – and the reactions that have come out of that screening are resoundingly positive! Below you can see a selection of some of the reactions that have been tweeted out so far, starting out with what our own JoBlo / Arrow in the Head representative had to say after watching the movie:
It’s great to hear that the movie went over so well with this first batch of viewers.
The Scream “legacy-quel” is coming to us from Ready or Not (watch it HERE) directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. The screenplay was written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. Vanderbilt also produced the film for Project X Entertainment, alongside Paul Neinstein and William Sherak. Chad Villella, Gary Barber, Peter Oillataguerre, Ron Lynch, Cathy Konrad, and Marianne Maddalena serve as executive producers alongside original Scream writer Kevin Williamson.
The film has the following synopsis:
Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past.
