This series continues to entertain. The move to NYC helps refresh things a bit, and the constant parade of background horror movie characters (and multiple Ghostfaces) thanks to the Halloween weekend setting was consistently amusing. I think the shrine was a bit of a stretch—even buying the handwave-y explanation given, it’s not like all that stuff came from a lot of different places and so wouldn’t be easily missed when it disappeared—but admittedly, it did make for a fun set piece for the final showdown. All in all, another enjoyable entry to a series (sorry, franchise) that started strong and even in its weaker moments is still pretty consistently entertaining.
Scream
Year 50 Day 5
Day 5: Going out last night means a tired day today. Add in some stresses I’d hoped not to revisit, and there have definitely been better days.
🎥 Scream
Scream (2022): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: A very fun and enjoyable “requel” (reboot + sequel) of the Scream franchise. Just as clever and self-aware as the rest, with several good jabs at the more unpleasant directions fandom has taken in recent years.
