Who knew that a slasher formula for a TV series would work? Scream is based on Wes Craven’s horror franchise where in particular the first entry revitalized the entire genre during
the 90’s. Now with him resting in peace, I am watching the Scream TV series as an ode and homage.
Teenage high school drama is combined with mysterious murder sprees, and it actually works in this format, you just gotta
stretch things a bit more out and let everyone be romantically involved with one another! Noah is easily the most likable character for being the reference guy towards other horror media, but I seemed to like all of the others
too.
The well known Ghostface mask does not appear, but instead something similar to it does, I wonder why they made this decision. As for the killings and stalkings, they are effective and well done set in a modern era of
interactivity through smartphones, the internet and social media, and seeming as there are actually several serial killers on the loose, I did not guess either of them, so the plot twists worked for me.
In overall, Scream
as a TV Series works just fine like other horror TV series!
