It wasn't great or anything, but it's better than a lot of these long-running horror sequels they tend to pump out. It's, like, a notch above Scream 4 (which I also liked, for the most part).

**Super, Heavy Spoilers**:

They did Dewey dirty. Yes, I'm butt hurt.

I figured it would happen cause every sequel so far had killed off a character from the original (Randy in 2, Cotton in 3 and Sidney's dad in 4). Still hurts though =(

I guess if they do a part 6, it'll be Gale next?

I called Amber immediately.
The moment she first appeared with rest of the friend group, her over-protectiveness with the younger sister/hostility towards the older sister at the start, the fact that she was being recorded in the opening, and that scene with Mindy in the basement where they tried to throw us off.
I knew she would be one of the killers and nothing was going to change my mind.

And for some stupid reason, I was expecting Stu/Matthew Lillard to make a surprise appearance and be the other killer. I was wrong on that one.

He must have been killed off-screen through a throwaway line or something, because I don't remember Sid's dad being in Scream 4 at all.

To be fair, numbered sequels have fallen out of style. In true Scream fashion, they're riding the wave.

It was something like that. I think Sidney said he had passed away sometime between 3 and 4. Not murdered, just natural thing like a stroke or heart attack.

Ah, I see.

Also, I thought it was cute that they named a character Wes. Then he dies and they have the memorial-party for him where everyone says "For Wes". Then that line is reiterated in the end credits.

Like...Damn, man.

The main thing I wasn't a big fan of, or maybe I just didn't completely understand it, was the main character's connection to Billy Loomis. Just to be sure, he's only her dad and not Tara's dad, right? I wasn't really crazy about how they did that whole exposition dump explaining that or the fact that she somehow sees him vividly the way he was at the end of the first movie.

I may have misheard, but wasn't the girl he knocked up Stu's sister? If that's the case, then that Vince dude is related to the sisters too.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Aside from them bringing back the Broken Arrow song (Dewey's theme) and Red Right Hand, the music didn't really stand out for me.

Also, Scream 4 is hands down the best in the series when it comes to end credits songs. Ida Maria's "Bad Karma" and 6 Day Riot's "Run For Your Life" playing back-to-back is such a fire way to send a movie like that off.
I fucking love Ida Maria.

Gotcha. I probably got that mixed when they were discussing the Vince dude being Stu's nephew.

The movie was full of cheeky nods and references. You can tell the folks that worked on this were genuine fans of both the series and Wes Craven himself.

Should've thrown in a My Soul To Take reference because why the hell not...

How br00tal was the Wes kill? Ghostface starring him down as he(she?) Slowly plunges the knife into his neck and you see it poke out the other side.

I was pretty sad that he and his mom got killed. They were a nice, sweet mother and son duo and she was a really fun character in Scream 4.

if you look to the left of that cameo you get a thumbnail confirming something fans believed about scream 4

a thumbnail says interview with woodsboro survivor kirby reeds which finally confirms to fans that fan favorite kirby reed last seen stabbed, on the ground, bleeding but not dead yet did indeed survive her attack.

I liked Kirby, so that's pretty cool. Also, lol at the Rian Johnson bit.
