''Scream'', or as it's colloquially known, ''Scream 5'', is a 2022 {{Meta|Fiction}} SlasherMovie directed by the film collective known as [[Film/ReadyOrNot Radio Silence]]. It is the fifth film in the ''Film/{{Scream}}'' franchise, and the first to not be directed by Creator/WesCraven, after his death in 2015. Kevin Williamson, writer of the [[Film/Scream1996 original film]], also returns, albeit in a producer role. It is also the first film not to be distributed by Creator/DimensionFilms, with {{Creator/Paramount}} taking over distribution after acquiring the franchise during the liquidation of Dimension.

The film is set for release on January 14th, 2022, delayed from a previously intended 2021 release. It also has a release gap of eleven years between it and the last installment.

* TookALevelInBadass: Sidney appears to have undergone this as seen in the trailer, opening a case that contains a variety of weaponry.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The first official trailer seems to spoil various character fates such as [[spoiler:Tara's, Vince's, Chad's, and Mindy's.]] However, given the meta approach the franchise is known for, it's possible that the scenes in question are merely constructed to throw the audience off. The fact that it's well known that multiple alternate scripts have been filmed to avoid a leak adds credence to this.

--> '''Ghostface''': "Hello, Sidney. It's an honor."

After another decade since the last Ghostface attack, Sidney Prescott (Creator/NeveCampbell), Gale Weathers (Creator/CourteneyCox), and Dewey Riley (Creator/DavidArquette) are faced with a new string of murders revolving around a familiar-looking ghost-faced killer.

** Ghostface is also shown in the first trailer rising from the darkness behind Tara, in a shot that is likely a nod to the original ''[[Film/Halloween1978 Halloween]]''.

* ShoutOut: Melissa Barrera's character name is Sam Carpenter, likely a nod to Creator/JohnCarpenter.

--> '''Sidney''': "I'm Sidney Prescott. Of course I have a gun."

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Due to the fact she's faced over half a dozen psychotic killers in the last twenty years or so, Sidney's apparent preparation, as seen in the trailer, in the situation shouldn't come as much of a shock. She's also been able to dispatch the various prior killers. However...
** She also appears to freeze at the end of the first trailer when confronting the new Ghostface, despite the fact she has a gun. Just because someone is hardened by prior experiences, seeing an outfit that is synonymous with those events is likely to make one freeze in stress or fear due to the troubling memories.

Creator/MarleyShelton returns as Judy Hicks from Film/Scream4, while new additions to the cast include Creator/DylanMinnette, Creator/JennaOrtega, [[Film/InTheHeights Melissa Barrera]], Creator/JackQuaid, Creator/JasminSavoyBrown, Creator/SofiaBenAmmar, [[Film/OnceUponATimeInHollywood Mikey Madison]], [[Series/LoveVictor Mason Gooding]], and Creator/KyleGallner.

** Ghostface is also shown in the first trailer rising from the darkness behind Tara, in a shot that is likely a nod to the original Film/Halloween1978.

* OneWordTitle: The film's simply known as ''Scream'', just like the first installment. However, given the franchise's meta aspect, this could be a form of commentary on how modern franchise sequels use the name of the original films, most notably with Film/Halloween2018 and Film/Candyman2021

* ActionGirl: Sidney's response to Dewey in the trailer as to whether she has a gun or not solidifies her status as this:

* AloneWithThePsycho: The trailer appears to show Sidney backed up against a door, with the new Ghostface marching slowly towards her.

* EnemyRisingBehind: After checking out his malfunctioning car, Vince is confronted with the new Ghostface rising up behind him, as seen in the trailer.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Liv is seen in the trailer with a majority of her hair dyed bright pink.

* DarkerAndEdgier: The trailer shows Ghostface as an unrelenting force, marching towards Chad ruthlessly and even attacking Tara, who's shown crawling away on the floor covered in blood.
