A good sequel, Wes Craven would be proud.
But honestly I think it’s my least favorite of the franchise. I like all of these films, but I was very underwhelmed by the killers reveal and how unsurprising it was. The movie falls apart for me in the 3rd act. Not that it’s bad, just could’ve had a better idea for killers.
Even though it’s silly, I was really hoping Stu was a third killer for the big and final twist, but nothing like that ever happens.
I understand why it’s called Scream, but it should’ve been called Scream 5, because that’s exactly what it is.
Biggest spoiler of this review. I HATE that they killed my boy Dewey, but I understand. They had the pull The Force Awakens where Dewey is Han, Sidney is Luke, and Gale is Leia.
Great gore, great suspense, great references.
I don’t think there should be any more movies made in this franchise. I say let it end on a decent note and close Sidney’s story.
