6/10
Decent requel that pays a strong tribute to Wes Craven's original flm.
5 May 2024
New installment of the 'Scream' saga pays a fun homage to the popular series. Including familiar faces such as Courteney Cox, Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Marley Shelton, and Skeet Ulrich repeating their past roles with a touch of nostalgia and enjoyable memories. As a new killer dons the 'Ghostface' mask and starts targeting a group of teenagers, headed by Melissa Barrera, to resurrect secrets from the town's deadly past. It's always someone you know !. The killer is on this poster !. Don't see it alone!

The nightmare has returned twenty-five years after those brutal murders took place in the town of Woodsboro, California, so a new murderer has returned executing a criminal spree in this acceptable film that "Chicago Sun-Time" considered the best film in the franchise since the first. All the cast that survived from the old pictures are back, adding newcomers, such as: Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Sonia Ammar and Kylle Garner. Directores Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett playfully tweak the cliches of teen slasher pics with this tongue-in-cheek thriller where there's again a mass slasher on the loose, there must be a group of teens 'just out for a good time'. The difference is both the killer and the victims have been raised on 80s , 90s 2000s splatter movies, and, therefore, know all the rules. Once again the stalker uses his cellular phone to terrorize his victims, he also uses to ask his prey trivia questions or offer critiques of successful terror films. Filmmakers and screenwriters add more of the satirical sparks that propelled the predecessor films into boxoffice hits by following the rules of original, they increase the suspense -everyone is a suspect- and gore to the popular franchise a hard one to tantalizing fun, making this outing to the known franchise a hard one to top.
