Scream (2022) | Film Review
I absolutely love the Scream movies (and most slasher movies in general), so I was really excited to finally see the newest instalment of the Scream franchise. Twenty-five years after the original Woodsboro murders, a new masked killer is back to terrorize a group of high school students. But as secrets from the past come to light, this group find out that they're more connected to the original murders than they ever thought possible. This film sits right in the middle of the Scream movies, for me. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst. I loved the opening scene. While it was obviously inspired by the opening scene of the first Scream movie, it also felt very modern. The ties to the original movie were really interesting. I liked that the film felt connected to the first in so many ways. It was really nice to see the old characters (and actors) come back. As a fan of these movies, even if you don't like the plot, it's fun to see them on screen together again...
