More Critic Reviews for Scream Season 1 All Critics (30) | Top Critics (16) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (16) Luxe environments mixed with bitchy teen entitlement and karmic vengeance drive Scream beyond its slasher-exploitation film genesis to a stylish metaphor about a new generation's excesses and mean-girl cruelty. Jun 30, 2015 | Full Review… Debbie Day TheWrap Top Critic An incredibly MTV-in-2015 way to unravel a mystery: ridiculous, meme-obsessed, self-mocking, and fun if you don't think about it too much. Which basically sums up the first season of the network's Scream. Sep 2, 2015 | Full Review… Lenika Cruz The Atlantic Top Critic MTV's television series based on the popular franchise has the same exact archly self-aware tone, but the novelty is long gone, and what we're left with is pointless homage. Jul 6, 2015 | Rating: C- | Full Review… Vicki Hyman Newark Star-Ledger Top Critic Right from the first scene there's a unique energy to the piece. It doesn't feel like a knock-off or a cheap tie-in. It's a horror movie in weekly series form. Jun 30, 2015 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic You gotta like any high school drama that starts with the mean girl getting stalked and stabbed to death beside her swimming pool. Jun 29, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic Scream is exactly what you'd expect. It may also be exactly what you want. Jun 29, 2015 | Rating: B | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic There are one or two gory and well-mounted horror sequences, some smart lines, intermittently sharp commentary on online bullying, but Scream: The TV Series is a mostly dull and frustrating experience. Oct 23, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Jonathan Hatfull SciFiNow ...(not) the impactful one-two punch (ending) one would have hoped for...the plot and the denouement end up better than three of the four seasons of American Horror Story... Sep 2, 2015 | Rating: 3.0/4.0 | Full Review… Kevin A. Ranson MovieCrypt.com Suspenseful and fun, this new MTV show is a real scream. Aug 11, 2015 | Rating: 3.0/4 | Full Review… John Hanlon John Hanlon Reviews Most of my issue with the pilot comes from execution; ostensibly, they took what was best about Scream and tried to clumsily bend it to the confines of a television show. Jul 8, 2015 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review… Bri Lockhart The Young Folks View All Critic Reviews (30) Audience Reviews for Scream: Season 1 ½ https://multiscreenmotivision.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/scream-the-series/ Kym (c my community profile)R Super Reviewer ½ Some of the dialogue stinks but the overall it does well to turn a slasher film into a TV series. I would have liked another addition to the film series but you can't have everything I guess BrendanN Super Reviewer Produced by Wes Craven and loosely based on the films, Scream is a mystery/horror television series. In Season 1 a small town community is rocked by a string of murders that are seemingly related to a local legend about a serial killer known as Brandon James. For the most part the show maintains the tone and spirit of the films; offering insightful commentary about the horror genre and playing on the conventions of film/television. However, the writing isn't very strong, and neither is the acting. Additionally, the characters aren't very realistic, and the show tries to make everyone a suspect at some point (resulting in a number of inconsistencies). Still, the series does a fairly good job at building intrigue and delivers some intense thrills. Season 1 of Scream has its problems, but overall it's entertaining and shows potential. DannM Super Reviewer ½ Despite having however little highlights, the overwhelming atrocious acting, unnecessarily rushed dialogue, thin and badly developed characters, an overall floopy script and lack of a decent storytelling are what make Scream a frustating failure as an adaptation to the movie series that spawned it and as a shameful addition to the horror genre.
