What We Think

‘Scream’ (2022) updates itself with a distinctly modern flavor, leaning into diversity and ideological signaling. It keeps the slasher fun but sometimes feels busy ticking every 2022 checkbox, leaving tradition out in the cold.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film gives heavy emphasis to diverse representation, sometimes making identity traits more central to characterization than depth or complexity. While some legacy characters remain, the new cast slots in neatly along contemporary lines, feeling more like a box-checking exercise than organic choices.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Masculinity is largely downplayed, and traditional roles often get sidelined. While not aggressively attacking cultural values, there's a subtle undercurrent that prioritizes modern identity themes over classic horror tropes of family and resilience.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The movie seems to wink and nudge at 'toxic fandom' and those critical of modern reboots, painting dissenters as out of step or problematic. Traditional viewpoints exist only as strawmen, quickly dismissed for modern dogma.
