MTV released the first trailer for their TV series take on the Scream horror movie franchise we first learned about back in 2012 this week, and it is…kind of difficult to watch as a fan of the movies. But perhaps that’s just me.

The trailer plays more like a horror movie parody—complete with plenty of screaming to fit the title and an awkwardly blatant reference to the original movies stuffed in there for good measure.

You can check out the first trailer below, and do share your thoughts!

DESCRIPTION:

Everyone has secrets. Everyone tells lies. Everyone is fair game. Don’t miss MTV’s new series ‘Scream’ coming June 30th.
