Neve Campbell and David Arquette are back as Sidney Prescott and Dewey Riley in the new Scream movie, and in a new batch of Scream 5 images released by Total Film magazine (via Games Radar) they’re ready to open fire on the latest version of the iconic slasher Ghostface. Ghostface is also featured in a couple of the newly released images, which can be seen below, along with one of the unlucky victims. The new Scream is set to reach theatres on January 14, 2022 and is a sequel to the previous Screams despite simply being called Scream itself.
The new Scream is coming to us from Ready or Not (watch it HERE) directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. The screenplay was written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. Vanderbilt also produced the film for Project X Entertainment, alongside Paul Neinstein and William Sherak.

Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past.
