The horror genre has seen a spectacular renaissance over the past few years as new, critically acclaimed films receive critical acclaim in theaters. But horror has always been built from longtime owners, and some classics like Halloween and Childs Play have recently returned to theaters.


Next up is Scream 5, which was not defended by Wes Craven, an installment observer in the movie series. The upcoming sequel will feature his actress Jenna Ortega, who recently teased how he fits in with the previous four installments.

Scream 5 will be directed by filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillette, and all three OG actors will reconsider their roles. They will be paired with new characters, many of whom will never make their experience with Ghostface alive. Jenna Ortega is one of the newcomers and shared how the highly anticipated slasher fits in with previous scream installments.

There’s a ton of pressure to nail it with Scream 5, especially the first series to hit theaters after Wes Craven's 2015 death. Fortunately, Matt Bettinelli-Olefin and Tyler Gillette have proven their skills with comedy-horror or not. We need to see how they approach the Woodsboro murders.
