2/21/2023 0 Comments Radio silence director![]() ![]() While I felt Scre4m didn’t particularly flesh out its thematic message to the best of its abilities and aped the grim lighting of horror movies of the era that it tried to poke fun at, Radio Silence perfectly captures the ‘90s look of the trilogy by bringing color back to Woodsboro. Though this is the first non-Craven entry since his passing, there’s a lot of love put into his baby in tone, style, and visual presentation that would make him proud. It wasn’t until this week of release that I binged all four Scream films for the first time. Ghostface asks his new victim Terra (Ortega) what her favorite scary movie is and when she responds with an elevated horror movie - because, come on, what else did we have in the 2010s? - that familiar comedic flair we all know and love starts to hit hard. From the intense cold open that recreates the classic intro of the original (with a Gen-Z coat of paint involving smartphones), instant Google searches, and new scream queen actress Jenna Ortega, it tells you right off the bat that it’s Gen-Z af. We’re on the way.” While Scream 4 sort of fumbled the ball for the millennial culture, Scream 2022 is the perfect update for the TikTok crowd. The Radio Silence boys saw that Scream series on MTV and said, “Gen-Z, y’all are in a crisis. Not even Craven and Williamson themselves were able to capture that energy again. Since ‘96, nobody has been able to crack the code to strike the perfect balance of hilarious meta-commentary and gory violence with exceptional kills. Though much has changed since Scream 4, including the passing of series director Wes Craven in 2015 and the evolution of horror films since the arrival of A24, it’s up to Ready or Not directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (aka Radio Silence) to take up the mantle and build upon the house that Wes and Kevin built. If there’s anything Ghostface is gonna do, it’s stab your ass and talk shit about the current state of horror cinema while doing so. It’s a new decade, so you know what that means! Ghostface is back with a brand new bag. More images of our digital edition can be found in my Digital + Social section.Ĭopies of print issues of Radio Silence are available in my online shop.
