It felt like a SCREAM movie. Hadn't had that feeling since 2.
This now understands that SCREAM has become the very thing it was parodying. It leans heavily into that. It subverts expectations like THE LAST JEDI did. To me this is THE LAST JEDI and SCREAM 2 rolled into one.
There's sequences in here that are some of the best of the franchise. Gail's big set-piece, the subway, and the ladder are all top teir shit.
All of the characters are written and characterized much better this time as well.I want to follow these characters now.
My biggest issue here is the reveal of the killers. That hasn't been good since 2. As weak as it's been here, it is not as bad as 3.
