Fam, did you buy that stu sweater on a movie merch site? Or did you put the fake blood there yourself? Cause if there’s a clothing site selling stu’s sweater dyed to look like that I need to know where it is so I can buy one for myself its so grungey and groovy
The moment where the boyfriend got a convenient slice in the arm and left on the floor reminded me of the conversation from Scream 2, where Dewey accuses the boyfriend of getting cut but missing every artery conveniently. That sealed it for me lol
The hospital scene sealed it for me because one ghostface decides to conveniently not kill Ritchie but let him lay there as well as Ritchie just lays there and never attacks ghostface
Same like really Jill got her arm Alice from scream 4 she actually put her arm up to get slice same with Richie i knew he was one of the killer smh they should done better. Love the movie
One Easter you missed that I loved is when Sidney was walking around the house shooting all the past places that ghost face popped out of in the first movie . Especially when Sidney shot the same closet she jumped out of and stabbed billy.
The conversation with Gale and Dewey about their relationship had real emotion. They have a daughter together in real life and they broke up after scream 4. He’s the one that left the relationship in real life too. Crazy how much of their real lives they put into this movie.
I love that even though they have been through all that irl they are still big enough to put on a good performance together in a movie like true professionals
Maybe I’m being silly but considering Courtney and David met on the set of Scream, were married and had a daughter, I would’ve liked seeing just a liiiiiittle more emotion on her part when Dewy died maybe just a tear or two. Other than that I thought the movie was amazing and great as always and I can’t believe I was 11 when I saw the first one and now here I am all these years later and I’ve seen all of them!🥺 Anyone else think for a second that Sam could be the killer?
I actually really liked the reveal. I thought it was gonna be Amber simply because of the actress’s role in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. But the fact she revealed herself in such a quick way, pulling out a gun and shooting Liv square in the head, kinda shocked me.
I agree, I thought both killers were great but unfortunately knowing the actors and their previous work made me 90% sure who the two killers would be going into the cinema. Not that it ruined the movie at all.
Not only that but she used the same phrase that tara used only phone! The movie got a little unsettling when the reveal happened bc of the age difference between amber and richie but I feel that it added on to a subconscious frightening factor to the film
I was so worried about them Killing off Sidney that I hadn't even considered Dewey or Gale being on the chopping block. That scene broke my heart! RIP Dewey
I cheered at that moment. *Finally* one of the trio bit the dust. Worth the entire movie alone. *No-one* should be safe in a slasher movie, especially survivors in a sequel!
@@Nerdy_Ant_Pops They're survivors from part 1. *A slasher movie* It was way overdue to kill one of them, like c'mon! They were supposed to kill Sidney in part 4 as well, but due to the idiot producer Harvey Weinstein that sadly didn't happen.
The reason I loved this film is that they made Ritchie being one of the killers very clear for those watching. When he was in the hospital, he froze when ghostface (Amber) was shot and looked genuinely panicked, like the act broke for a moment, and he was reluctant to leave. Then when Dewie said he was going to go back to finish her off, he protested. I clocked on then and there, as subtle as it was, although I never expected the Amber reveal!
i wish it would have been that kinda "ah-hah' moment for me but when i saw Jack Quaid was cast i just couldnt shake the feeling he was a bad guy. hes done such a good role in The Boys i just figured he wouldnt take a role where he plays a milquetoast good guy at this point
Good catch. So that means when Ritchie was in the elevator with Tara and Sam, it was Amber who killed Dewey? Hmmmm, I'm finding that hard to swallow, Ghostface seemed rather tall and strong for it to be Amber.
Sadly they spoiled it :( Trailer The live q an a The soundtrack dropping before the movie Assholes on TH-cam spoiled it in comments :( He should have saved gale tho
This. I really felt it. I felt soulless after Dewey's demise. However, it was such a damn good movie. Am happy is pulling heavy numbers this weekend, Scream 6 is definitely happening.
Once he got his arm cut and then got out of harm's way all while successfully looking like another victim- it reminded me of Jill in Scream 4...even his shirt. It just visually took me back to 4 almost instantly. Loved it, instant classic!
And IMMEDIATLY made me think of Derek in S2. Not for Derek being a killer, but for Dewey pointing out the way he got out of an attack with nothing but an arm cut. Always suspicious
The other kinda Meta thing is that he was only one attacked from another person's perspective. Everyone else we're put in the shoes in when they are attacked and killed in brutal fashion even if they live but he conviently shows up and gets the Derek arm slash. lol
The main character Samantha aka Sam.. her father was Billy Loomis. So that makes her Sam Loomis. Which is a nod to DR SAMUEL LOOMIS from Halloween 1978
salma hayek needs to be the mom in the next scream. When Billy’s ghost appeared to help Sam find the knife, it went from “let me help you” to “let me help you become a killer”. Just from the way he was watching her. She definitely tapped into her crazy side while killing Richie. Stu’s sister will need to be part of it. Her brother and son died, I’m sure she has something to say or do.
The best part for me is when Sam was stabbing Richie, that iconic shot of the knife in the air was amazing. Also, she didn’t even give him time to come back. She just shot him. So good!
@@limetreess Interestingly, in my mind that scene kind of deleted all the violence that came before. All I could remember was Sam's frenzied stabbing. When watching it a second time, I noticed it even more - for example, I was sure ghostface had stabbed Wes through the cheeks, when it was actually Sam that did this. I think that is why this scene is so powerful - it's kind of a kathartic, karmic de-traumatization, overwriting the sadistic violence of the killers with a less senseless, though not less violent memory.
amber told sydney some thing about passing the torch and then the next scene was basically billy passing the torch to Sam, while stabbing ghost face aka her bf. maybe she might turn ghost face? who knows
@@sumgi1537 it reminded me as how the fans wanted Sydney to turn to the dark side and become ghost face after the second one. I can see Sam Turning into the next ghost face.
I thought the boyfriend was too obvious which why I didn’t suspect him , so that’s probably why he was the perfect choice. I actually called Amber pretty early like in the first 10 minutes. The motive was ingenious the whole toxic fandom was on point. There was also some cool details that you could actually tell there were at least two killers because their was different levels of strength like Wes wasn’t able to overpower his killer but Dewey who was pretty beat up was able to
Nah. The motive is boring and just a way to bash fans who criticze new films. And, it isn't on point. 'Toxic fandom'. It is funny since no fan has ever murdered people who trash old films. They just bash them. OMG Totally murderers. LMAO
@@volourn9764 you don’t have to murder anyone to be considered a toxic fan lol. Look at the kid who played young Anakin in Phantom Menace, the kid got too shit on by fans to the point he quit acting and had mental breakdowns. Toxic fandom is a real thing. That doesn’t mean you can’t criticize new movies. It’s just some people get way too mad over a movie.
@@hashbrowns7188 true, but this film is clearly full of hatred of fans who criticize films. The fact they thought it be cute and edgy to make fans the 'villains' is weak, pathetic and hateful. But that's HW for ya. Says a lot that the killers' motives in this was the weakest of the five films. Too bad as the actors - especially the BF did a great job.
@@volourn9764 they didn’t make every fan who criticizes films the villain, they made fans who get toxic about films the villain. People can hate a movie without being toxic. And fans becoming killers has been a theme in the franchise: Billy and Stu wanted to make their own slasher movie; Mickie wanted to capitalize on a sequel to gain notoriety; Jill and Charlie wanted to remake the original just because Jill was jealous of Sidney’s fame. Tbh a lot of the killers in this franchise had pretty weak motives. The only ones that had a decent motive were Billy, his mother, and Roman. But being a psycho killer doesn’t even require a strong motive really. They’re psychos, they’ll kill people over a bag of candy if they wanted to.
Dewey's death made me cry. And I mean... Cry. I bawled like a baby. Seeing him die so brutally and so quick was heart-wrenching. And Gale's reaction only added salt to the wound. But I feel it was necessary to usher Sidney in
I think the movies started feeling a little too safe for Dewey Gale and Sidney, that his death was something that had to happen and of course it was probably going to be the most impactful death out of the three in my opinion. If the series is going to continue they're probably going to have to kill off the other two as well at some point or throw them into a twist so big that nobody will guess it.
I mean one he was untouchable somebody needed to go plus he was only on one shot yea I was sad when he was killed him off they did him dirty but no wait a second forgot to double tab I fucking knew it but he check the phone WHY THE KILLER IS RIGHT THERE or u can be far away and shot him my god and they did it again take the gun was that the reason why u disarmed him for the final fight was good but damn think
Really enjoyed this movie. Feel like our current generation doesn’t get to experience the fun of figuring out who the killer is in a Scream movie and that’s exactly what we got. All the friends I took to see this had not been avid franchise fans so it was nice to experience it from their perspective and see how intrigued they were. Super solid film.
I have to respectfully disagree with you. I’m a huge fan of the franchise. In my opinion, this was the worst one. When they revealed the killers, I felt disrespected. Their motive was ridiculous 🤦♂️ the girl caught me by surprise, but the dude was obvious. I left very disappointed. I was hoping to see Stu take off the mask. I also thought making Billy “good” was wack.
No joke during the movie I was begging, thinking, praying that Richie wasn’t the killer, my friends kept on telling me it might be him after the whole “He was watching Netflix scene”. And then when Richie stabbed Sam, I physically pointed at the screen and said no, I was so heartbroken because of how much he seemed to love Sam.
Really? Richie wasn’t even that great from the start. Dewey already made it clear to not trust the lovers. Same was ti dumb to assume he was great and trusting. But he showed true betrayal.
@@rosegarden9215 that was just so intensely obvious that I did not think it would be Richie. But yes, they went there. It wasn't a Red Herring after all.
I have to say that Wes’s death really surprised me. I pegged him as a killer early on and through Judy dying would either be him pulling a Jill or having to “tie up loose ends”. I also thought him and Judy would have motive because Woodsboro had been boring for a decade and many hated Stab 8, which is seen as a stain for some of their town. It also is heartbreaking that Judy died and still failed to protect her son, and Wes died never knowing what happened to his mother.
Boy bye! That tiny arse city, Judys house wasn't out in the country like in Scream 1 and that amazing atmospheric element... She lived in a populated neighborhood, small town, She was the fricking Sheriff, and it took that long for any cops to arrive at her house? REALLY? You willing to overlook that horrible writing cause you a fan boy? Heartbreaking? It would have been, but it was lazy writing, when the whole time she called the cops, an what 10 minutes go bye, she is the sheriff, cops be loyal, and would have been there asap, not many on duty? Nonsense, if that didnt take you out of the moment, or be in the back of your mind taking away from the scene then you a deluded fan boy.
11:27 I think Sam's hallucinations of Billy are to show her fear of becoming like him because with a dad like Billy and a grandma like Mrs Loomis it's probably hard for her not to think there's some crazy in her too.
I can understand that but for me it felt like the entire she was refusing to accept who she was than when she finally embraced that dark side she was able to use it for good
I like how it was a callback to when Billy said to Sidney in the first movie, “It’s like Jodie Foster in Silence Of The Lambs, when she had visions of her dead father…”, which is exactly what Sam was experiencing.
I love all the Easter eggs and seeing Dewey with Tatum’s urn made me so emotional. In the later movies I would forget that they were siblings, I loved Tatum too. I feel like this small detail adds a layer of complexity to Dewey because not only would he feel guilty for his younger sister’s death, but it will always tie him to Woodsburrow
RIP Wendy Peffercorn. And honestly, that was probably the best scene in the franchise. The call in the car, the drive back, the shower, all of it. Kept me on the edge!
@@lucypalacios1364 It was a cruel scene. Probably one of the most cruel death scenes in the Scream franchise. They basically showed Olivia's death but in broad daylight in the front yard, and we didn't get cuts to other characters, just the stabbing stabbing stabbing. And then it seemed like no one really cared at all about Judy, nor Wes. Judy Hicks was a much more intelligent and smarter character than that scene. She would not have left her son, her means everything to her clearly, alone when his friend was just brutally attacked by Ghostface, who she herself has a history with, not to mention the town she grew up in.
@@j2174 Meh. I feel like her being the sheriff could’ve gave her a sense of invincibility. I could definitely see that title getting to her head. Also, the fact that it was broad daylight probably let her guard down. I don’t really see her leaving her son for 10 minutes in a locked house as a dumb decision.
@@jorboii "Meh. I feel like her being the sheriff could’ve gave her a sense of invincibility. I could definitely see that title getting to her head." - Thats random. While I understand what you are saying, there's not really any evidence for that. Also, a higher-than-mighty sheriff mentality wouldn't explain why she left her kind son at home alone to go fetch sushi during a killing spree of Ghostface. It was just a poor script and not understanding a character. "Also, the fact that it was broad daylight probably let her guard down." - Yet, she had the call and would have thought "grab my gun". We have all of her characterisation in Scream 4 to go by. She was smart and quick. "I don’t really see her leaving her son for 10 minutes in a locked house as a dumb decision." - She would, and not even for a good reason. No doubt they delivered. She would have known about Tara having had her house locked down (with much more security btw!).
I was irritated that she didn't turn around AS SOON AS she knew the killer was calling. I sure the hell would've. Figured she'd run right into a blade but MAN it was all jacked up... those kills were like prison shankings 😱 And why is there NEVER anyone in the neighborhood seeing this in these movies, broad daylight, not hidden at all. I know .. not real life.. people nowadays would have camera phones pointed live streaming and everything 🙄
I take back what I said about the Billy visions. Its actually genius. “Its like Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs, when she keeps having visions of her dead father”. Billy Loomis
I really liked that they added in Sam seeing visions of her dead father! I think it’s a great opportunity for us to see Sams character having a psychotic break later down the line, which could really open Tara up to becoming the main image. Or the death of Tara will be what breaks her. As a fan, I’ve always wonder when someone would finally go crazy after being hunted after so much. I think Sams character opens that window of possibility with them touching on her mental challenges.
not looking forward to sam having any sort of "psychotic break" mentally ill characters don't exist just for you to end up making them the villain that trope is overdone and awful
The worst part of the movie was having Amber as ghostface be the one to off Dewey, it was too unbelievable that she could kill him the way that she did. Loved it overall though!
I still do not agree with Dewey being killed off, that's just my personal opinion. But it makes sense at the same time as to why they did. I hope with the next film they do not bring Gale & Sydney back to try and kill them off tho. Let the torch be passed without killing the legacy characters off. Let them go on with their lives & let the new cast deal with Ghostface.
I made peace with Deweys death but it was the way it happened that was kinda silly. I get him remembering he needed to finish the job but something about the scene was off for me. Then to find out some little high school girl killed him was just silly to me. The characters should have at least been swapped here (Richie and Amber).
Ya, killing off legacy characters to make new characters look better is really annoying. It didn't work with Star Wars and it doesnt work with this film. Also Sam being Billy's daughter makes no sense to me.
I would have been ok with Deweys death if he died by Stu.(missed opportunity for not bringing him back) Legacy characters should only be killed by legacy characters.
After watching all 5 movies literally back to back, they’ve really held up in quality. Their commentary has been just top notch and each one (save for maybe 3) has been great. Honestly Scream has become quite possibly my favorite horror franchise
Sadly 3 originally had one of the best scripts until Columbine happened and Wes had to change practically everything about the movie even down to the location.
So that tiny waif gurl wouldnt have folded in her scene with Dewey at the hospital? Cops wouldnt have arrived at the sheriffs home, in tiny ass Woodsborough? All the friends didnt care that people they knew were drying, oh well, lets party, who did it? I think it was you, wink kiss, fart, serious face. No real chase scenes? Killer appears and person is pretty much dead. No atmosphere... It was fun as are all Screams, but come on, I find the ones looking past all thats wrong nothing but Polly Annas Positive Pollys, so dry in Covid times they willing to overlook meals that dont feed us well!
The third scream may have been the worst one (even though I think scream 4 is the worst one) but Roman was honestly the best killer. He invented scream by making molding billy into a killer. Also him taking 10 people by himself is also impressive.
@@Icxvii8 Hell no Roman isn’t the best killer and 3 is the worst I mean if you really break it down you can just tell this one was definitely different then what they initially planned and the whole history of Sydney’s mom and Roman being her brother was just weird not that it doesn’t make sense but I just didn’t like that take and Billy and Stu remain kings as the best killers idc
@@bronzemuseum504 yea i think so too, but i wanna know who he actually killed. because the only person i could think of would be wes and judy but that could’ve also been amber
@@austindaniels4827 I was thrown off with that too, cuz at the start he wasnt in Woodsboro, then most times it seemed he wasn't there..but then we were asking ourselves how could Amber pick up Dewey like that?? It had already been spoiled who the killers were, so we were in the theatre like, "is there a 3rd killer?"
In Scream 2 Randy and Dewey are talking about "Stab" and who could be the killer, Randy says to Dewey "at least you got David Schwimmer". So yeah, that's been around since Scream 2 that at least in the first Stab movie, Dewey is played by David Schwimmer.
i think my favorite thing about this movie was that the people you expected most were the killers, yet their reveal was so surprising (at least to me). also the death scenes were so much more gory, i felt on edge the whole time, it was amazing!
"Let's figure out who did this, AND. CUT. SOME FCKING. THROATS." I'm sorry but I LOVE THIS SO MUCH that I can't even be mad at the whole "I have hallucinations of my dead father who is a serial killer that I look nothing like." thing. IT'S TOO GOOD. It's too good.
@@PittsburghSportsFan43 there was probably a reason she only saw him in his bloody final clothes. There’s a part they are watching a thing called “the true story” and showed him. So I’m sure she used the net to find pics of him and that’s probably what she sees. A crime scene photo. And all she knows is him being a psycho. I really liked it
Amber i didn’t like as the killer , it was not believable at all that she could’ve killed Dewey the way she did . She was way too small to kill him that way. When they revealed her she was small af in the costume . Girl in the 4th one was more believable because it wasn’t any kills where she was over powering someone
Scream is not the franchise if you’re looking for any kind of realism. Mrs. Loomis full on yanked Randy off his feet into a van and overpowered him before stabbing him, Sidney brawls with dudes every movie and the closest she came to death was from a teenage girl, Dewey was stabbed in the back 9 times and survived, etc..
@@tyrabanks4head221 I agree either way it’s a movie. In someway it’s a movie which means unrealistic. She’s a great killer in my opinion she plays crazy so well, as well in her bio as Amber freeman she has material arts skills, go look.
Haven’t seen anybody mention this, but I think it’s hilarious how Amber’s death was very reminiscent of the character the actress played in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Same scream, same motions, also on fire 😂
I have to say this is by far the best spoiler breakdown of scream 5 the most on point with all the Easter eggs and everything while also having the best conversation regards to the whole movie and reasoning behind each scenario involving the og characters an ghost face!
I was honestly hoping for there to be 3 killers, I think that's something they could have done it this film, and I was hoping that one killer could at least get away. Hopefully they could do it in the next one.
i think they 100% need to do this with the next one. Keep the final killer a secret and then the movie after will be the same killer that we still dont know of. Id love that
I think it would be awesome to have 3 ghost faces and one of the ghost faces actually get killed… it would give the characters a false sense of security that the killings are PROBABLY over and it would shake up the other 2 ghost faces to the point they would have to create a new plan on the fly
I think there could have been 3 as when Tara was attacked in the opening scene Richie was still in Cali with Sam, who was recording and attacking amber at the same time of the recording
I didn’t really mind Dewey dying, i just personally wished that struggle was a little longer. It definitely looked like he was going to go full badass on Ghost face but it in my opinion it lacked a little something i mean they had a whole hospital to play with.
I already knew about his death in advance to my screening (i figured it out via the official sound track) but even though I made peace with his death, I agree that it lacked something. I didn't picture in my head it being caused by Gale calling him on the phone (let's face it, he would have died anyway because he decided to go back). I was kinda' hoping, he'd go down saving Gale in some capacity after the hospital scene. I knew he was gone the moment he turned around from the elevator for sure. The entire film up to that point, foreshadows his death, build him up (when he was never a good cop) and watch them fall. Something wasn't entirely right with this final scene for Dewey.
My issue with his death is that Dewey is too experienced to go out like that. Why did he not shoot Ghostface when Amber first fell? Why didn’t he unmask Ghostface right then and there? Why did you go back?! If we would’ve gotten a scene with the original 3 together, I wouldn’t be so salty, but seeing Dewey go out like that hurt man. I knew what was coming as soon as he stepped out the elevator, but I don’t feel like the movie truly earned it.
@@MadeByDW exactly how i feel! I mean i was like damn 20-30 years as a cop and surviving 4 attacks i would think he would be a little smarter about it. To me it felt like if your gonna take out a legacy character let him go out guns blazing felt like he fucked up on the same stuff he preaches.
He had survived so much, just to kill him off like that was ridiculous. What makes it even worse was that it was the teenage girl that was half his size that killed him. It was a stupid moment and stupid character decisions all around.
I saw the death as how all the love and problems they had and it was the last gale call them caused him to die… I honestly thought it was a commentary on their relationship
I was honestly so upset when Wes' mother was killed in broad daylight. She just wanted to protect her son who she loved so much however Amber (Or The Boyfriend Guy Forgot his Name) killed her off right before she could get inside.
I loved that they did a lot of cutbacks to the original films, to see Billy was such a great touch sad to see only him and such a small amount but props to this movie it definitely had me on my feet trying to figure out who was who. Legit thought that Wes was one of the ghostface killers but the second his mom died I knew that it couldn’t be unless he had a reason why he wanted his mom dead. But to be honest didn’t see amber to be the killer at all totally threw me off and I was surprised good for this film I would rate it 9/10
Seeing Billy was a nice touch? It was contrived. Why was she seeing him? Because she was traumatized? She didn't even know him. Supposedly, never met him. She did drugs, but never hints at her having any sort of mental health issues except "I'm a killer's daughter" Why is he older yet is looking like how he did in the first movie? These are important things that drive the film to its idiotic conclusion, so answers are needed. They're not left for speculation either. Just contrived plot elements needed to drive the plot forward.
@@yourenotthatguy7051 Yeah the whole Billy Ghost part made no sense to me. At the end the ghost is helping her? Like why lmao he's a rapist and a serial killer. Also the killers motives kinda sucked lol It's goofy so I put this movie on par with Scream 3.
I personally liked the billy loomis' 'ghost' haunting Sam. I got a different feel from it, being as if it was Sam's fear of becoming a killer like him and I think it was good to put that in the movie.
I thought they were going to make her the killer after she sees Billy's ghost and have all the interactions she has with ghost face be inside her head but very real to the audience.
Ppl were really pissed by that, but I liked it because it showed she was scared of the fact of becoming one. I know they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree but Sydneys mom was a "whore" but Sydney wasn't! We need to remember that Billy wasn't a Psycho always he drove into cause of the affair problem with Sydneys mom. But Stu complete Psycho he laughed and joking around that's scary!
Yeah exactly, and the fact that it’s not even a ghost, because she suffers from schizophrenia as insinuated, it seems billy is a manifestation of her guilt and fear
This movie surpassed my expectations it felt new and refreshing yet so nostalgic and awesome ugh as someone who’s loved scream since I was young this movie was everything!!!
I loved your analysis of the movie. Dewey’s death scene and Gale’s reaction had me in tears. This movie was so emotionally charged with suspense while paying homage to horror icons *chef’s kiss*. I hope they include more of the parents in the next one!!
I also really liked the movie! The only flaw I had was that the main (Melissa Barrera) I felt was really not committing to the role. I know its big shoes to fill as a final girl, but when the killers were revealed with strong actors it was really obvious to me how poor her performance was. Did anyone else feel this way?
I didn't like her that much during the first half, but thought she grew stronger as a character with every minute. And Richie's death was one masterpiece of physical acting.
She has the same bad acting in In the Heights, I don’t think the performance was bad because she had big shoes to fill, I think that’s just how she acts, not very good :/
Mindy has to be my favorite character in the franchise aside from the trinity of Sid, Dewey, and Gale. Even more than Gale-wannabe from Scream 3. And that "turn around, behind you" scene, where she's watching Stab, then turns around. Perfect.
I think we all knew Dewey would get killed but it still hurt and it had me in tears. Edit: I’m so glad about the Kirby Easter egg. So glad she survived Scre4m
When the boyfriend hesitated to go to the house, I figured he didn’t want anyone to know that Amber was gonna murk more people But he planned for Sam and Tara to go there all along
@@Stigmatix666 Same. I thought this did a great job of passing the torch and I really liked the new characters introduced. Probably the best cast they've had since the OG so I'm excited to see where it goes next.
This film has literally brought me and my sister together in a way I never thought we could be. She is over a decade younger than I; and since it's announcement we have been talking about it and making plans to see it. We went opening weekend together and both loved it. It was a bridge to show us that we actually have tons in common. Was it perfect? No. Was it an amazing movie and excellent love letter to Wes and to the fans? Yes. Very much enjoyed it. "It's always someone you know; unless its Roman."
I like the scene when Wes talked about about Dewey being the killer, that scene was funny when Dewey told him his words cut deep. Also, Dewey mention to Sam about going back and shooting the killer in the head because it mattered to him.
The Dawson’s Creek episode also wasn’t just a Scott Foley heavy episode, it was a horror inspired episode called “The Scare” so super fun Easter egg as I’m a huge Dawson’s Creek fan
@@3CFilms Try watching that episode. You should get a kick out of it. The person that semi creeps out Katie Holmes in that episode is the same guy who gives the wine to Jamie Lee in H20. He was Kevin Williamson's assistant at the time. I met them both at a screening of 'Halloween' 1978. It was a few years after Scream 3 was out and I asked him if they used any of his plot for 3 and he said not at all. His was more about the media and how the mislead the public. 👌🏼 That was in Hollywood. Oddly, the assistant lives in the same tiny town as I do now? Maricopa, Arizona. That dude followed me!??!😱😂😂😂😂
You know I'm not sure many would agree with me on this, but I'd love a scream movie where they flip it on its head. We follow the ghost face killer trying to complete their plan and hide their identity, sort of change them to the protagonist. I think it would be a lot more interesting to almost have the audience rooting for ghost face to win
I thought that’s what we’d get with Sam. I thought she’d end up being like schizophrenic or something and not realize she’s a serial killer. That’d be an amazing twist if we get another movie
But that's not what's screams all about tho. Even tho that def sounds dope but it just wouldn't ever even be a twinkle kn the franchises eyes at all. Just cuz of how we've grown to love these movies since 96. I'll never forget I was 7 yrs old watching my first rated r movie o thought I was hot shit going to school and telling all my friends I watched scream lol. That day idk how we did it but all 9 of us snuck in one by one And all watched it. Mind you this was when movies were 1.50 and 99 cents before 6pm lol. Man I miss the 90s. Best years growing up.
Also if you look closely, the house has a swing to the far right in a tree. The house is also white and backlit by a low fog just as Casey’s was. Ghostface also appears behind her and grabs her like Michael appears from the doorway and stabs Laurie.
Personally I didn’t see Richie being the killer until he stabbed Sam but with Amber I knew she was the killer the second she mentioned “what’s wrong with elevated horror?” during the conversation at Mindy’s house. If you look back only Tara mentioned the phrase “elevated horror” to the killer in the opening.
I would say this is also the first pair of killers that actually seemed to like each other! There wasn’t one outsmarting the other really. So that was pretty refreshing to me. I also liked that having two killers made sense with the story arcs of the new girl, Sidney, and Gale. Sam had to take out Richie for her storyline to feel complete and it made sense that Sidney and Gale would deal with Amber for killing Dewey. Also wanted to say I had a feeling one of the killers would be Amber. She just looked so angry the whole time. I knew something was up with her. Plus why throw a party when your “best friend” is in the hospital. I think you would rather be by her side the whole time.
What about Jill and the geek when they revealed themselves. They both liked esvjofhef to until she stabbed him in the heart pun intended lol. We can't forget those two in scream 4
Not gonna lie, after Dewey's brutal death, I was scared they were going to kill of Sydney at the end. Glad that did not happen. I for one loved this movie. Cant wait to see what they do from now on.
LMAO it wasnt brutal anymore after the killer was revealed as that TEENY TINY WAIF girl. GTFO... took away any drama from that scene and turned into YEAH F'N RIGHT. that twig would have snapped after 1 punch. But way too overlook bad writing!
And Judy also that was shocking I was so glad Sidney lived!!?! Her and Gale both fought Amber I hated Amber loved how Gale shot the stove and Sidney pushed her towards it I was so happy Amber was a psycho!!!!!!!
@@lalareal180 I mean the same shit happened with randy being killed by that old bitch…it’s not new at all and you kinda have to do shit like that to have any type of female killer that feels like they’re any type of menacing
Also I felt like Dewey dying could have been impactful, but I was just blown away by how stupid he was for me to really be upset that he died. He seriously shoots the killer multiple times, then leaves, then comes back??? Alone??? Ugh it made no sense.
I feel like the character would have been smart enough to shoot the head from a farther distance. Seems really stupid. I nearly walked out of the theater. And how about the sheriff going into the house where she knows there is a killer without her gun?!
I agree. With you dealing with this 4 times. Why wouldn’t you immediately go for the kill shot and reveal the killer right there. Instead of run then come back.
I thought he would at least kick the knife away him being on the force for so many years. Thought he was going to be badass in that scene but it was kinda like he forgot all of his police training and everything that happened before. Like you aren’t going to take the mask off while the killer is down?
@@mistwoodpublishing9963 Just like the Dewey situation they were both caught up in stress, she probably didn’t wanna waste time getting her weapon as she’s trying to get to her son as soon as possible so he doesn’t get killed. Even then it wouldn’t have mattered she was caught off guard
@@spam-ws2pc that isn't how stress works lol. Adrenaline often heightens your decision making ability. That is such a lame excuse. Nevermind that Dewey seemed pretty collected as he approached the killer. And no cop would leave their gun in the car like that. You'd have to be an absolute moron, stress or not.
One of my biggest issues with the new scream film was that it expected us to care about these new characters just because of who they were related to. I didn’t like Sam or care about her. She had one facial expression the entire film. Her sister Tara was much more interesting and had it’s a shame she wasn’t the lead.
I think it was done on purpose, it feels as tho they're making SAM the new Syd,but with a TWIST!!! However, I mean HELLO SIDNEY is classic, it doesn't fit any other,well NAME LOL
I think Neve isn't interested in being the center of these movies anymore. She's already given that performance two and a half times and probably isn't interested in doing it again.
@@alexander3699 Too bad they couldn't find a new Neve to play Sam. Melissa Barrera can't act and her character was supposed to be edgy and tough and strong... yet she just came off like a soft-spoken woman trying to recite lines that she had memorized from a script.
Saw this movie yesterday I loved it and billy loomis’ performance in the movie. And a lot of people predicted who the killer would be and were right 😂 I loved the movie
1) Dewey's death was done poorly; he walked right up to Ghostie to shoot them with a gun, and zoned out when his phone rang??? MORONIC! 2) Not one scene with the OG trio together 3) Gale was with newbs when she found Dewey dead; she should have been with Sidney or even Martha/Judy (someone legacy who knew him). 4) I would have used Judy more, but her kill scene was good 5) Billy having a love child from nowhere was LAME, Roman did it first. Why did no-one mention her grandmother was also a killer when her *secret* was so pivotal??? AND if Sam is five years older than Tara, how is that high schooler 18 or younger in 2022? 6) Why didn't Sidney and Gale phone the police when they realised where Act 3 was happening? 7) Why would Sid go into the house alone PERIOD 8) The first 'half' of the film was too long/slow, they should have cut 10 minutes and given 2 of them to the OG trio. They could have cut Vince entirely if they weren't gonna use him. I did actually like the film and will buy the DVD. But they went ON AND ON about being huge fans of the series while making it, and I don't see that here.
The film definitely would have been ALOT better if wes was still here.. But it wasn't a terrible film i just wish they didn't kill off dewey id rather have gale die honestly but the motive was so damn hilarious i just wish the ogs had way more screen time than they did
I called Amber being a killer from very early on however I thought her motive would have been to get back at Tara's sister for leaving Tara behind and I really really thought one of the twins (the sister most likely) was the killer and when she got stabbed non fatally at the end I was just waiting for her to pop up after the final fight and get Gale or Sidney but I guess they jus wanted to take her out the fight so she would survive
Yeah off screen sustained injuries are always sus. Also wouldve been the first time it was two female killers and no male. We havent seen that nor a solo female killer yet.
This movie was great!!! I enjoyed it. The theater was filled with scream fans. We had a good time. Amber is the scariest ghostface. The Meeks and Terra were AMAZING. Dewey's death left me crying.
I had a fun time watching this film today the kills were very brutal and good, but i have to say, they didn't do anything new in this, it was just 2 killers AGAIN ! who were deranged fan boys, i feel they could have done 3 killers this time, during the final act, i was expecting tara to be revealed as the 3rd killer. Would have been better if Tara was the mastermind behind everything and there was 3 killers in total !!
I liked the movie. Amber was intense, I'd say the most psychopathic since Billy! But the suspense and dread and character background/development just wasn't there; I feel as though Kevin not writing/producing played apart in the poorer character arches. 6.5/10 C+. I'd rank them as S1(10/10) 2ND Place- S2 (7/10 B) 3rd S3 (7/10) 4th S4 (7/10) 5th S5 (6.5/10) then 6th TV Show (6.5/10). I did read online it was Kevins idea to bring back Jill and isolate Sid; I think we'll see that in part 6 because Neve reportedly isn't returning. I still say it's ok to replace Neve as Sid! I also would've loved to see Dewey go out/down as the killer, because he definitely had motive. I loved how Ritchie hinted at Dewey having motive. 👻 🔪
Personally, I was really hoping Stu would be back. Imagine, Richie being the Son of Stu; Dating the Daughter of Billy… Or Sam being Sydney’s daughter. Billy could have gotten Sydney pregnant, then Billy dies the same night, but between scream 1 and scream 2, Sydney took a year off; she could’ve had the baby, given her up because she couldn’t handle the stress and maybe doesn’t want her daughter to be involved in this tragic story and murders etc. And so Sam’s “mom” is her adopted mom; and could’ve really tied that in there. Stu goes into hiding or changes his identity over the years, he knows the secret of Sydney and the killers would be Stu and his son/daughter and goes on a murder spree 25 years later, with the motive of “you killed my friend, you took my life away” OR “he’s making a better movie in honor of Billy because that’s what Billy would’ve wanted” or something along the lines. I wish there was more character development with Amber and some others; just seemed a tad…rushed or looked over but over all I’d give this movie 8 stabs out of 10.
I really liked Wes’s death. It looked super brutal and reminded me of something like Rambo or Early Schwarzenegger films. Also I love the commentary on Toxic fandom because honestly, they’re not wrong. There was a reason why I left comic book fandom years ago, and I tried to come back to it because of Spider-Man No Way Home, but I quickly realized my mistake when I saw that nothing had changed.
Toxic fandom sucks, it hurts being a fan of anything and having to deal with being lumped in with the man children who think Paul Feig, JJ Abraham’s, Rian Johnson, Colin Treverow and anybody who creates a remake, reboot or sequel ruined their childhood
I cried watching dewy die 😢 When he showed up in the hospital I thought, they're going to survive Dewey is there and then they took him to soon. I agree it was a lot more graffic and creative death scene. Richard's first scene I knew he was the killer and when Dewey called him out it was the cherry in top. I loved the movie no matter what!! Great come back!!
I really enjoyed the Billy Loomis cameo I wish everyone would stop calling him a ghost tho he was a hallucination, Dewy made me tear up in the theater and never suspected Amber at all but I figured Richi out when he was cast. My big pick was the Twins tho they did well making them red hearings
I liked the Billy connection but her age doesn’t add up. If she left at the age of 18 and her sister said she’s been gone for 5 years she’s 23 and Billy died 25 years ago. They should’ve just not mentioned her age small negative.
So you try to say that ppl who complain about the movie for whatever reason are the toxic ones? Strange. Most toxic and rude comments I read are from those who liked it and attack ppl who didn’t like it. The who dunnit element is one of the main topics of the movie. Being so predictable for this franchise about who the killers are is for me a huge let down. It might be not the only important thing about this movie, but it’s a huge deal. So knowing it before the reveal shows that it’s not well executed and that they didn’t even try their best to hide it perfectly. They could done it by misleading us better. But in any case, it wasn’t a bad movie, but still the most uninspired one for me, since it felts in most parts like I’m watching the original one again. I hope they do better in the next one. They should also improve the dialogues.
After seeing the movie again, I did like it “more”. This movie had the best opening since the original, and I loved the fact that Kirby was confirmed to be alive. That’s when I felt that the new creative team really did want to honor Wes Craven, and they did just that. Every prior movie was shown some type of love. Both killers do slight things that give themselves away throughout the movie, just like in previous movies, those lil lines of dialogue and lil exchanges/looks they give each other. My biggest gripe, like with most “requels”, is that they didn’t give us our big 3 together again. If we would’ve gotten just one shot of the original trio together, I wouldn’t have minded it, but they weren’t given enough to do, and they were super sidelined. I do agree that Jenna Ortega’s Tara is more interesting than Sam, I didn’t like Sam until the ending when she went ballistic on Richie. A “serial killer” for the good guys is a kinda interesting angle. Mindy is definitely the standout, I’m glad her and Chad have the ability to return.
@@dlaface7237 During the scene when Richie is watching TH-cam clips, on the right side of the screen you see a thumbnail of Kirby with the headline “Interview with Woodsboro survivor Kirby Reed.” It’s one of those blink and you will miss it moments…I myself barely caught it at first.
You didn’t even mention that Liv’s last name is Mackenzie and in Scream (1996) when Casey’s parents can’t find her. Her dad says he’ll check if the Mackenzie’s heard anything and you never get to see them and there daughter or granddaughter has to be Liv. Which is why she was such a Red Herring.
The biggest plus for me was that I actually ended up liking the new characters which I didn’t expect. I was especially glad that both of the twins survived
Dude. I’ve been following you since you started covering the Child’s Play remake and I gotta say, I’m so happy you’re getting the love an attention you deserve. Your my #1 trusted source for all things movies and I honestly can’t wait to see you in your own cameo in one of these movies. Keep it up bro. It should of been you in there!! Lol.
I haven't really expressed my opinion being such a fan and still now knowing how i feel lol. But when u show then reveal of Scream 4 I literally got chills on how I surprised I was, and then Jill killing her partner (bam) another surprise, makes me again question the reveal for Scream (2022). Idk maybe it's because I know these movies like the back of my hand lol, but I literally saw moments they put in there that let me know yeahh that's the killer. Like when Sam shot Amber in the hospital and Kirsch looked back when going to the elevator b.c he was worried she was dead, I knew it was him lol, b.c. that's Scream and what they do to reveal who the killer is so when you look back you're like ahh. My whole point is I wasn't surprised or shocked by the reveal. Still liked the movie tho.
I already knew Dewey was going to die(which was sad) because in the trailer Gale was like Shocked and the only people she would only do that to is Sydney and Dewey(also Randy who died in Scream 2)
I absolutely loved this movie!!!! Scream is my favorite horror franchise, and I watched all of your scream videos!!! The movie for me was a 10/10 very good, but one problem I had that I didn’t think was bad but I just didn’t fully understand the killers motive! From now watching this video and thinking back it makes since now and I love the movie even more! Thank you Chris!!!
I really want stu to come back even Matthew lillard said “it was just a tv” I love his performance in the first scream and after hearing about the original plot for scream 3 I just want it to be in an actual scream movie
Really thought they were bringing him back in this one with how many times when people would mention the 1st killers they just mentioned Billy. Thought maybe the killers would be inspired and tutored by him.
That would be really dumb, but honestly, if you told me we'd be following the conveniently undiscovered bastard children of Billy one of which hallucinates him.... I'd have thought that was some really fanfic bullshit too.
OK. Very popular opinion: I think the OG characters have appeared too much in this movie. I would have preferred to get to know the new characters better.
I’ve been a diehard fan since I saw the original in the theatres on day one. Man…I called it very early, and I wasn’t feeling Billy Loomis pulling Patrick Swayze from Ghost.
Agreed. As someone who saw the original when I was 13, the ending wasn’t as shocking as the original but watching a portion of the fan base completely unravel makes me appreciate the movie more and more. Personally, I loved it
Idk why. Some claim its taking a shot at them and om no it's taking at shot at hollywood🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ like making fun of how Rian Johnson completely ruined star wars was a joke in it because they saybhe directed stab 8 and bankrupted the franchise and divided the fanbse and the super annoying af gf of the football player says that's the only stab she liked and they like ugh of course u would😒 my big criticism of the film is the friends group tho. No friends accuse each other like that and so jokey about it..well I take the latter back because I've been around irl serious ish thats made national news and me and my friends didn't gaf and made fun about it because we were twisted college students then..but no one accuses so easily and seriously LOL
i remember watching Scream (1996) when i was 5-6 years old, (now im 22) i found it very scary that i would literally watch it with no volume and getting ready to run out the door because of the jump scares lol. nah but it was a great movie, just saw his ranking on other Screams and I totally agree with it. i totally agree with you too, like the ending was almost similar to the OG but had a nice vicious twist
I didn't HATE it but didn't like it for the same reason I disliked the new Matrix. They took the meta stuff too far. It's more forgivable for Scream bc it's always done that. But they were just straight up mocking the movie and the entire idea of it. Like, why make the movie at all if you're just gonna fill it with comments about how dumb it is? That stuff got way too much screen time. I find it stale and boring.
The first Scream film not directed by Wes Craven, who passed away in August of 2015 from cancer. The character of Wes was named in honor of him and the film is dedicated to him in the end credits. Much like in Scream 3, Sidney Prescott is not prominently featured in the first part of the film Debut film of French model Sonia Ben Ammar, who is well-known in France. David Arquette said he was excited to regrow his now-famous mustache for his role as Dewey Riley. Dylan Minette was born 9 days after the original Scream came out in theaters in December 1996. The area code for Woodsboro is shown to be 707. This is the area code for Santa Rosa, where the original Scream was filmed. Despite playing their mother, Heather Matarazzo (Martha Meeks) is 12 years older than Jasmin Savoy-Brown (Mindy), and 14 years older than Mason Gooding (Chad) A street sign reading "Elm St." is visible at one point. This is one of several references to Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street in the Scream films, including the location of the Prescott house in the original, as well as Wes Craven's famous cameo as school janitor Fred, who wears a very familiar sweater. Screenwriter James Vanderbilt's wife's name is Amber Freeman. This is also the name of a character in this movie. 31-year-old Melissa Barrera plays 23-year-old Sam. The first Scream movie in which the opening victim survives. First Scream film where neither of the killers have a personal motive against Sidney Prescott. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' song "Red Right Hand", which had prominently featured in the first three Scream films, returns to the franchise after being absent from Scream 4 (2011). It's heard when Ghostface turns on Vince's car before killing him. The first Scream film to not feature an opening murder. The way how Richie gets slashed on the arm is similar to how Derek and Jill got slashed on the arm in Scream 2 and 4. The film's end credits font is the same one used in the credits for the first three movies. First Scream to feature all deaths be a result of knife or firearm. Tara is the second Scream series character to be stabbed through the hand by Ghostface following Olivia Morris in Scream 4 (2011).
I agree with the billy cameos. First watch I’m giving it an 8/10. I don’t know if I like the killer reveal ending as much. Still they did a great job. Dewy’s death hit my soul. I loved the Wes craven tributes as well. Ghost face saying it’s a honor gave me chills. 👍🏽
The way they killed Dewey off was total garbage and it's going to hurt future films and the Director's should have listened to the cast and not killed him off!
Imagine it. 3 ghostfaces. 2 working together and another rogue ghostface with his own motive. Maybe one killing suspects or people who they feel are bad and the 2 sticking to the revenge plot line
I don’t feel like the movie gave Dewey’s death enough significance. As fans, we all felt Dewey’s death in our souls but I just feel like his death should have been a way bigger deal within the movie to match the heaviness of it that the viewers felt
I was looking for a comment that said something like what you just said. Gale mourned Dewey quickly, and Sidney didn't seem to mourn him at all. The other characters barely acknowledged it. I'm sad that they killed Dewey, though I honestly saw it coming after the trailer. I just don't think it was done right at all.
The brutal finality of it.... they made him look so tired and pitiful, like they were just putting him outta his misery 😭 I think he showed he had a lotta fight left to the very end dammit!!
I think Sam could become killer at some point. The way she was struggling throughout the movie with the visions of Billy and not wanting to be like him. Then at the end she finally gave in and stabbed the shit out of Richie. Now she’s got a taste for killing. Just a thought
My prediction:the treatment for the next two films was pitched to Neve Campbell in order to persuade her to return. This new trilogy is a commentary on the "making of a serial killer". Sam will be Ghostface in SCREAM 6. She will survive until SCREAM 7 when she is placed in a mental institution where ( Stu) is located. He will be the puppet master for the final killings in 7. Gale will die; leaving Sydney walking away the ultimate final girl. Sam is the twist in the new trilogy because she is actually the villian not the hero
I dont think Stu will come back that dude is dead. You don't come back after that. Even if he survived that dude is not smart enough to be a master planner.
I love Stu, but there's noooo way he should be alive. Dude was about to pass out and die after being stabbed like 5 times... then head smashed by big TV? lol Nah
God damn this movie was epic. Glad the queen survived. Sid and Gale kicked ass. I was balling like a mad man when the killers killed Dewey. I loved how it all was linking up with the og movie. That Tera was living in Casey's house and Amber being in sids. Seeing Billy back as a ghost was definitely cool even at the end helping Sam find the knife smiling at her when she went full psyco mode like thats my girl. I definitely think that brutal murder unlocked something in her head maybe for her to be the next killer getting a taste for blood.
I really liked the movie, Sam having visions of her dad I thought was a little cliche at first but as the movie went on I was rolling with it, really liked how they tied it into to the end by helping Sam defeat the bad guy. Having not been to the movie theater in like 3 years this movie definitely scratched that itch.
I absolutely loved this movie! Saw it in a packed theater with people cheering throughout. As a long time fan of the franchise, it felt like a return to form. They even passed out posters at the theater of ghostface. The entire experience felt like going to see a Scream movie in the 90's. It was awesome! The film was nearly perfect. It was the perfect mix of humor, horror and nostalgia. And the commentary of toxic fandom was 100% spot on. And you're right with the fandom literally proving the filmmakers points. TH-camrs and toxic fandoms have spiralled out of control. When you make your entire personality off hating the thing you claim to love and worse make a living off of it, you're a special kind of ignorance. Although I really enjoyed 4, this film felt like it could be the perfect ending to the franchise, or a great starting off to a new franchise.
Thank You For Watching!!

This Movie Was Awosme
I enjoyed the movie stayed through the credits and through the movie I was waiting for a little Stu cameo
I still think they should’ve added the song Drake -knife talk
I throughly enjoyed it and but I called it and knew who the killers were asa they called the sister
Fam, did you buy that stu sweater on a movie merch site? Or did you put the fake blood there yourself? Cause if there’s a clothing site selling stu’s sweater dyed to look like that I need to know where it is so I can buy one for myself its so grungey and groovy
The moment where the boyfriend got a convenient slice in the arm and left on the floor reminded me of the conversation from Scream 2, where Dewey accuses the boyfriend of getting cut but missing every artery conveniently. That sealed it for me lol
The hospital scene sealed it for me because one ghostface decides to conveniently not kill Ritchie but let him lay there as well as Ritchie just lays there and never attacks ghostface
Same like really Jill got her arm Alice from scream 4 she actually put her arm up to get slice same with Richie i knew he was one of the killer smh they should done better. Love the movie
Plus Jill...
Yeah the ghost face just conveniently leaves him alone after one slash…and he stays down after one cut!?? Like what
Same here!
One Easter you missed that I loved is when Sidney was walking around the house shooting all the past places that ghost face popped out of in the first movie . Especially when Sidney shot the same closet she jumped out of and stabbed billy.
This!!!
Oh that's a neat one!
Yes
Great catch of detail there
Well damn, did you work on the set of the movie....lol Great observation...lol
The conversation with Gale and Dewey about their relationship had real emotion. They have a daughter together in real life and they broke up after scream 4. He’s the one that left the relationship in real life too. Crazy how much of their real lives they put into this movie.
They broke the rule of accepting their failures, the moment I seen that scene, I told my roomie Dewey was done.
I love that even though they have been through all that irl they are still big enough to put on a good performance together in a movie like true professionals
@@snowmink5508 That ruined my childhood dream of Dewy always surviving.
I may have shed a tear when he was texting her "I still" but he couldn't finish it
Maybe I’m being silly but considering Courtney and David met on the set of Scream, were married and had a daughter, I would’ve liked seeing just a liiiiiittle more emotion on her part when Dewy died maybe just a tear or two. Other than that I thought the movie was amazing and great as always and I can’t believe I was 11 when I saw the first one and now here I am all these years later and I’ve seen all of them!🥺
Anyone else think for a second that Sam could be the killer?
I actually really liked the reveal. I thought it was gonna be Amber simply because of the actress’s role in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. But the fact she revealed herself in such a quick way, pulling out a gun and shooting Liv square in the head, kinda shocked me.
They set her on fire just like in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Mental.
I agree, I thought both killers were great but unfortunately knowing the actors and their previous work made me 90% sure who the two killers would be going into the cinema. Not that it ruined the movie at all.
Not only that but she used the same phrase that tara used only phone! The movie got a little unsettling when the reveal happened bc of the age difference between amber and richie but I feel that it added on to a subconscious frightening factor to the film
True
@@filiparon same. When Amber pulled out the gun, I was like, "ok, we're already at the finale, huh?"
I was so worried about them Killing off Sidney that I hadn't even considered Dewey or Gale being on the chopping block. That scene broke my heart! RIP Dewey
That's the one part of the movie I hated & didn't like cause like why Dewey why any of the legacy characters like come on
I cheered at that moment. *Finally* one of the trio bit the dust. Worth the entire movie alone. *No-one* should be safe in a slasher movie, especially survivors in a sequel!
@@Nerdy_Ant_Pops they survived 4 movies, it would have been kinda silly to keep them alive, they’re not superheroes, they’re in a slasher movie
@@Nerdy_Ant_Pops did you watch the movie? We get a full 5 minute explanation on why one if not all of the legacy characters must die
@@Nerdy_Ant_Pops They're survivors from part 1. *A slasher movie* It was way overdue to kill one of them, like c'mon!
They were supposed to kill Sidney in part 4 as well, but due to the idiot producer Harvey Weinstein that sadly didn't happen.
The reason I loved this film is that they made Ritchie being one of the killers very clear for those watching. When he was in the hospital, he froze when ghostface (Amber) was shot and looked genuinely panicked, like the act broke for a moment, and he was reluctant to leave. Then when Dewie said he was going to go back to finish her off, he protested. I clocked on then and there, as subtle as it was, although I never expected the Amber reveal!
THATS WHAT I NOTICED OMG
@@banaqos I’m glad I wasn’t just imagining it!
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that!
i wish it would have been that kinda "ah-hah' moment for me but when i saw Jack Quaid was cast i just couldnt shake the feeling he was a bad guy. hes done such a good role in The Boys i just figured he wouldnt take a role where he plays a milquetoast good guy at this point
Good catch. So that means when Ritchie was in the elevator with Tara and Sam, it was Amber who killed Dewey? Hmmmm, I'm finding that hard to swallow, Ghostface seemed rather tall and strong for it to be Amber.
Dewey’s death fucking hurt
And also for me, the kills felt more disturbing and made me uncomfortable WHICH I LOVED
I was so sad!!
Sadly they spoiled it :(
Trailer
The live q an a
The soundtrack dropping before the movie
Assholes on TH-cam spoiled it in comments :(
He should have saved gale tho
I was especially pissed when I found out it was the freaking annoying girl that killed him. Fuck that
This. I really felt it. I felt soulless after Dewey's demise. However, it was such a damn good movie. Am happy is pulling heavy numbers this weekend, Scream 6 is definitely happening.
Officer Doofy
Once he got his arm cut and then got out of harm's way all while successfully looking like another victim- it reminded me of Jill in Scream 4...even his shirt. It just visually took me back to 4 almost instantly. Loved it, instant classic!
And IMMEDIATLY made me think of Derek in S2. Not for Derek being a killer, but for Dewey pointing out the way he got out of an attack with nothing but an arm cut. Always suspicious
The other kinda Meta thing is that he was only one attacked from another person's perspective. Everyone else we're put in the shoes in when they are attacked and killed in brutal fashion even if they live but he conviently shows up and gets the Derek arm slash. lol
@@Bluejay-jg6hz and so was amber, never attacked by herself
YES I noticed this too!!!
The main character Samantha aka Sam.. her father was Billy Loomis. So that makes her Sam Loomis. Which is a nod to DR SAMUEL LOOMIS from Halloween 1978
Good catch
I KNOW RIGHT
salma hayek needs to be the mom in the next scream. When Billy’s ghost appeared to help Sam find the knife, it went from “let me help you” to “let me help you become a killer”. Just from the way he was watching her. She definitely tapped into her crazy side while killing Richie. Stu’s sister will need to be part of it. Her brother and son died, I’m sure she has something to say or do.
That’s honestly my pick!! She would be great
wait i thought her son survived? he was in a ambulance at the end
@@nataliachavez6249 he did live
@@nataliachavez6249 stu nephew was the dude with the car that got killed
@@nataliachavez6249 that was Randy I believe
The best part for me is when Sam was stabbing Richie, that iconic shot of the knife in the air was amazing. Also, she didn’t even give him time to come back. She just shot him. So good!
Best kill for me and it wasn’t even a ghostface kill but just as brutal if not more so.
She even held the knife like Billy also
@@limetreess Interestingly, in my mind that scene kind of deleted all the violence that came before. All I could remember was Sam's frenzied stabbing. When watching it a second time, I noticed it even more - for example, I was sure ghostface had stabbed Wes through the cheeks, when it was actually Sam that did this. I think that is why this scene is so powerful - it's kind of a kathartic, karmic de-traumatization, overwriting the sadistic violence of the killers with a less senseless, though not less violent memory.
amber told sydney some thing about passing the torch and then the next scene was basically billy passing the torch to Sam, while stabbing ghost face aka her bf. maybe she might turn ghost face? who knows
@@sumgi1537 it reminded me as how the fans wanted Sydney to turn to the dark side and become ghost face after the second one. I can see Sam Turning into the next ghost face.
I thought the boyfriend was too obvious which why I didn’t suspect him , so that’s probably why he was the perfect choice. I actually called Amber pretty early like in the first 10 minutes. The motive was ingenious the whole toxic fandom was on point. There was also some cool details that you could actually tell there were at least two killers because their was different levels of strength like Wes wasn’t able to overpower his killer but Dewey who was pretty beat up was able to
Nah. The motive is boring and just a way to bash fans who criticze new films. And, it isn't on point. 'Toxic fandom'. It is funny since no fan has ever murdered people who trash old films. They just bash them. OMG Totally murderers. LMAO
he even said it "i was the obvious choice"
so obvious that we said NAhh it can't be him lmao
@@volourn9764 you don’t have to murder anyone to be considered a toxic fan lol. Look at the kid who played young Anakin in Phantom Menace, the kid got too shit on by fans to the point he quit acting and had mental breakdowns. Toxic fandom is a real thing. That doesn’t mean you can’t criticize new movies. It’s just some people get way too mad over a movie.
@@hashbrowns7188 true, but this film is clearly full of hatred of fans who criticize films. The fact they thought it be cute and edgy to make fans the 'villains' is weak, pathetic and hateful. But that's HW for ya. Says a lot that the killers' motives in this was the weakest of the five films. Too bad as the actors - especially the BF did a great job.
@@volourn9764 they didn’t make every fan who criticizes films the villain, they made fans who get toxic about films the villain. People can hate a movie without being toxic. And fans becoming killers has been a theme in the franchise: Billy and Stu wanted to make their own slasher movie; Mickie wanted to capitalize on a sequel to gain notoriety; Jill and Charlie wanted to remake the original just because Jill was jealous of Sidney’s fame. Tbh a lot of the killers in this franchise had pretty weak motives. The only ones that had a decent motive were Billy, his mother, and Roman. But being a psycho killer doesn’t even require a strong motive really. They’re psychos, they’ll kill people over a bag of candy if they wanted to.
Dewey's death made me cry. And I mean... Cry. I bawled like a baby. Seeing him die so brutally and so quick was heart-wrenching. And Gale's reaction only added salt to the wound. But I feel it was necessary to usher Sidney in
I think the movies started feeling a little too safe for Dewey Gale and Sidney, that his death was something that had to happen and of course it was probably going to be the most impactful death out of the three in my opinion. If the series is going to continue they're probably going to have to kill off the other two as well at some point or throw them into a twist so big that nobody will guess it.
Same. Bawled. So brilliant to be crying at a character’s death in a slasher. Unprecedented
Yea like he was untouchable u just have too do it
I mean one he was untouchable somebody needed to go plus he was only on one shot yea I was sad when he was killed him off they did him dirty but no wait a second forgot to double tab I fucking knew it but he check the phone WHY THE KILLER IS RIGHT THERE or u can be far away and shot him my god and they did it again take the gun was that the reason why u disarmed him for the final fight was good but damn think
i was full on sobbing when dewey died but i had a feeling he was gonna die, one of the legacy characters kind of had to die
Really enjoyed this movie. Feel like our current generation doesn’t get to experience the fun of figuring out who the killer is in a Scream movie and that’s exactly what we got. All the friends I took to see this had not been avid franchise fans so it was nice to experience it from their perspective and see how intrigued they were. Super solid film.
Agreed! My kids just Wikipedia stuff now and I hate it!
Same here. Seeing how my friends watched it was cool
im the movie guy in the friend group and its nice to see even them like a movie and speculate the killer
I have to respectfully disagree with you. I’m a huge fan of the franchise. In my opinion, this was the worst one. When they revealed the killers, I felt disrespected. Their motive was ridiculous 🤦♂️ the girl caught me by surprise, but the dude was obvious. I left very disappointed. I was hoping to see Stu take off the mask. I also thought making Billy “good” was wack.
@@amirelhilon3260 opposite for me, I knew amber was it was obvious
No joke during the movie I was begging, thinking, praying that Richie wasn’t the killer, my friends kept on telling me it might be him after the whole “He was watching Netflix scene”. And then when Richie stabbed Sam, I physically pointed at the screen and said no, I was so heartbroken because of how much he seemed to love Sam.
Really? Richie wasn’t even that great from the start. Dewey already made it clear to not trust the lovers. Same was ti dumb to assume he was great and trusting. But he showed true betrayal.
@@rosegarden9215 that was just so intensely obvious that I did not think it would be Richie. But yes, they went there. It wasn't a Red Herring after all.
@@mpacino1224 I really wanted Richie to not be it. I LOVE jack quaid. I really wanted him to be in scream 6
I have to say that Wes’s death really surprised me. I pegged him as a killer early on and through Judy dying would either be him pulling a Jill or having to “tie up loose ends”. I also thought him and Judy would have motive because Woodsboro had been boring for a decade and many hated Stab 8, which is seen as a stain for some of their town. It also is heartbreaking that Judy died and still failed to protect her son, and Wes died never knowing what happened to his mother.
Yeah but where were all the other cops which seem to be 30 deep but only 3 on duty every time 🤣 I checked out after that scene
Boy bye! That tiny arse city, Judys house wasn't out in the country like in Scream 1 and that amazing atmospheric element... She lived in a populated neighborhood, small town, She was the fricking Sheriff, and it took that long for any cops to arrive at her house? REALLY? You willing to overlook that horrible writing cause you a fan boy? Heartbreaking? It would have been, but it was lazy writing, when the whole time she called the cops, an what 10 minutes go bye, she is the sheriff, cops be loyal, and would have been there asap, not many on duty? Nonsense, if that didnt take you out of the moment, or be in the back of your mind taking away from the scene then you a deluded fan boy.
@@lalareal180 hahaha you're just like what the movies motive was talking about lmfao
@@miguelcastillo7168 What's bad in it?
him being the killer would’ve been too obvious, the weirder kid who feels like everybody takes advantage or doesn’t notice him lol
11:27 I think Sam's hallucinations of Billy are to show her fear of becoming like him because with a dad like Billy and a grandma like Mrs Loomis it's probably hard for her not to think there's some crazy in her too.
Oh no I get that and I like that idea for her cause it paid off when she fought Richie lol but the execution could of been better for me
I can understand that but for me it felt like the entire she was refusing to accept who she was than when she finally embraced that dark side she was able to use it for good
She's never been in that house but her hallucination was able to point out where the knife was? Meh.
It’s also setting up her for being a future ghost face, which would be pretty cool
I like how it was a callback to when Billy said to Sidney in the first movie, “It’s like Jodie Foster in Silence Of The Lambs, when she had visions of her dead father…”, which is exactly what Sam was experiencing.
I love all the Easter eggs and seeing Dewey with Tatum’s urn made me so emotional. In the later movies I would forget that they were siblings, I loved Tatum too. I feel like this small detail adds a layer of complexity to Dewey because not only would he feel guilty for his younger sister’s death, but it will always tie him to Woodsburrow
RIP Wendy Peffercorn. And honestly, that was probably the best scene in the franchise. The call in the car, the drive back, the shower, all of it. Kept me on the edge!
I have to agree, i think i was engaged at the most during that entire scene. Soooo good
@@lucypalacios1364 It was a cruel scene. Probably one of the most cruel death scenes in the Scream franchise. They basically showed Olivia's death but in broad daylight in the front yard, and we didn't get cuts to other characters, just the stabbing stabbing stabbing. And then it seemed like no one really cared at all about Judy, nor Wes.
Judy Hicks was a much more intelligent and smarter character than that scene. She would not have left her son, her means everything to her clearly, alone when his friend was just brutally attacked by Ghostface, who she herself has a history with, not to mention the town she grew up in.
@@j2174 Meh. I feel like her being the sheriff could’ve gave her a sense of invincibility. I could definitely see that title getting to her head. Also, the fact that it was broad daylight probably let her guard down. I don’t really see her leaving her son for 10 minutes in a locked house as a dumb decision.
@@jorboii "Meh. I feel like her being the sheriff could’ve gave her a sense of invincibility. I could definitely see that title getting to her head."
- Thats random. While I understand what you are saying, there's not really any evidence for that. Also, a higher-than-mighty sheriff mentality wouldn't explain why she left her kind son at home alone to go fetch sushi during a killing spree of Ghostface. It was just a poor script and not understanding a character.
"Also, the fact that it was broad daylight probably let her guard down."
- Yet, she had the call and would have thought "grab my gun". We have all of her characterisation in Scream 4 to go by. She was smart and quick.
"I don’t really see her leaving her son for 10 minutes in a locked house as a dumb decision."
- She would, and not even for a good reason. No doubt they delivered. She would have known about Tara having had her house locked down (with much more security btw!).
I was irritated that she didn't turn around AS SOON AS she knew the killer was calling. I sure the hell would've. Figured she'd run right into a blade but MAN it was all jacked up... those kills were like prison shankings 😱
And why is there NEVER anyone in the neighborhood seeing this in these movies, broad daylight, not hidden at all. I know .. not real life.. people nowadays would have camera phones pointed live streaming and everything 🙄
I take back what I said about the Billy visions. Its actually genius.
“Its like Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs, when she keeps having visions of her dead father”.
Billy Loomis
I immediately thought of that quote when I saw him in this movie, very full circle moment lol
😮😮😮😮😮😮
Dewey’s death was the first character death to hurt me in awhile
Him and Judy hurt me big time.
Since randy yes
Dewey's death hurt me more than Randy's.
@@colby1032001 it so not fair wes craven didn't kill him off for a reason
Same like it hurts worse just as Randy’s 😭
I really liked that they added in Sam seeing visions of her dead father! I think it’s a great opportunity for us to see Sams character having a psychotic break later down the line, which could really open Tara up to becoming the main image. Or the death of Tara will be what breaks her. As a fan, I’ve always wonder when someone would finally go crazy after being hunted after so much. I think Sams character opens that window of possibility with them touching on her mental challenges.
not looking forward to sam having any sort of "psychotic break" mentally ill characters don't exist just for you to end up making them the villain that trope is overdone and awful
The worst part of the movie was having Amber as ghostface be the one to off Dewey, it was too unbelievable that she could kill him the way that she did.
Loved it overall though!
I still do not agree with Dewey being killed off, that's just my personal opinion. But it makes sense at the same time as to why they did. I hope with the next film they do not bring Gale & Sydney back to try and kill them off tho. Let the torch be passed without killing the legacy characters off. Let them go on with their lives & let the new cast deal with Ghostface.
I made peace with Deweys death but it was the way it happened that was kinda silly. I get him remembering he needed to finish the job but something about the scene was off for me. Then to find out some little high school girl killed him was just silly to me. The characters should have at least been swapped here (Richie and Amber).
Ya, killing off legacy characters to make new characters look better is really annoying. It didn't work with Star Wars and it doesnt work with this film. Also Sam being Billy's daughter makes no sense to me.
@@cleduc5059 that's literally not why they killed him off
@@ijionclifton9148 just saying that killing off legacy characters does not appeal to me.
I would have been ok with Deweys death if he died by Stu.(missed opportunity for not bringing him back) Legacy characters should only be killed by legacy characters.
After watching all 5 movies literally back to back, they’ve really held up in quality. Their commentary has been just top notch and each one (save for maybe 3) has been great. Honestly Scream has become quite possibly my favorite horror franchise
Sadly 3 originally had one of the best scripts until Columbine happened and Wes had to change practically everything about the movie even down to the location.
So that tiny waif gurl wouldnt have folded in her scene with Dewey at the hospital? Cops wouldnt have arrived at the sheriffs home, in tiny ass Woodsborough? All the friends didnt care that people they knew were drying, oh well, lets party, who did it? I think it was you, wink kiss, fart, serious face. No real chase scenes? Killer appears and person is pretty much dead. No atmosphere... It was fun as are all Screams, but come on, I find the ones looking past all thats wrong nothing but Polly Annas Positive Pollys, so dry in Covid times they willing to overlook meals that dont feed us well!
The third scream may have been the worst one (even though I think scream 4 is the worst one) but Roman was honestly the best killer. He invented scream by making molding billy into a killer. Also him taking 10 people by himself is also impressive.
@@Icxvii8 Hell no Roman isn’t the best killer and 3 is the worst I mean if you really break it down you can just tell this one was definitely different then what they initially planned and the whole history of Sydney’s mom and Roman being her brother was just weird not that it doesn’t make sense but I just didn’t like that take and Billy and Stu remain kings as the best killers idc
There was commentary in the scream movies? I've never heard of such a thing
I laughed at the end when Sidney found Richie in the closet and Richie says “Oh my god!, it’s Ghostface!” 😆
i loved how richie almost convinced sam that tara was ghostface and how she hesitated to untie her. it was too good
That was good!
im sure Richie was one making most of the phone calls. He really was great into messing around with people heads
@@bronzemuseum504 yea i think so too, but i wanna know who he actually killed. because the only person i could think of would be wes and judy but that could’ve also been amber
Dewie called it at the beginning Richie was the killer Dewie didn’t deserve to die! I wanted him to tell Sam “I told you so!”
@@austindaniels4827 I was thrown off with that too, cuz at the start he wasnt in Woodsboro, then most times it seemed he wasn't there..but then we were asking ourselves how could Amber pick up Dewey like that?? It had already been spoiled who the killers were, so we were in the theatre like, "is there a 3rd killer?"
In Scream 2 Randy and Dewey are talking about "Stab" and who could be the killer, Randy says to Dewey "at least you got David Schwimmer". So yeah, that's been around since Scream 2 that at least in the first Stab movie, Dewey is played by David Schwimmer.
I thought the same thing
Damn lol well still more cast me ever were shown in that scene that was the only name I could catch from the quick glimpse
@@3CFilms Oh for sure.
Also Angelina makes a comment about why tori spelling and David schwimmer didn’t wanna come back in scream 3
@@frontierboi Good catch!
i think my favorite thing about this movie was that the people you expected most were the killers, yet their reveal was so surprising (at least to me). also the death scenes were so much more gory, i felt on edge the whole time, it was amazing!
"Let's figure out who did this, AND. CUT. SOME FCKING. THROATS."
I'm sorry but I LOVE THIS SO MUCH that I can't even be mad at the whole "I have hallucinations of my dead father who is a serial killer that I look nothing like." thing. IT'S TOO GOOD.
It's too good.
Yessssss. It was brilliantly done. The hallucinations in Scream 3 we're cheesy but I get why they did it. They were perfect in this one.
My favourite line in the whole movie 👍👍👍
@@tarakennedy707 At least Sidney would have been old enough to remember her mother. No way in hell could Sam remember Billy.
@@PittsburghSportsFan43 there was probably a reason she only saw him in his bloody final clothes. There’s a part they are watching a thing called “the true story” and showed him. So I’m sure she used the net to find pics of him and that’s probably what she sees. A crime scene photo. And all she knows is him being a psycho. I really liked it
Amber i didn’t like as the killer , it was not believable at all that she could’ve killed Dewey the way she did . She was way too small to kill him that way. When they revealed her she was small af in the costume . Girl in the 4th one was more believable because it wasn’t any kills where she was over powering someone
Nigga get over it!!!!, it's always been like this in every scream movie, the height difference between the actor and Ghostface doesn't matter lol
@@tyrabanks4head221 lol
Scream is not the franchise if you’re looking for any kind of realism. Mrs. Loomis full on yanked Randy off his feet into a van and overpowered him before stabbing him, Sidney brawls with dudes every movie and the closest she came to death was from a teenage girl, Dewey was stabbed in the back 9 times and survived, etc..
@@tyrabanks4head221 I agree either way it’s a movie. In someway it’s a movie which means unrealistic. She’s a great killer in my opinion she plays crazy so well, as well in her bio as Amber freeman she has material arts skills, go look.
They had to use a stunt double because people were complaining about Jill’s size being unrealistic as a Ghostface in Scre4m .
Haven’t seen anybody mention this, but I think it’s hilarious how Amber’s death was very reminiscent of the character the actress played in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Same scream, same motions, also on fire 😂
I was scrolling down the comment section for that😂 I can’t unseen her anymore😂
I have to say this is by far the best spoiler breakdown of scream 5 the most on point with all the Easter eggs and everything while also having the best conversation regards to the whole movie and reasoning behind each scenario involving the og characters an ghost face!
Thanks for the love!
I was honestly hoping for there to be 3 killers, I think that's something they could have done it this film, and I was hoping that one killer could at least get away. Hopefully they could do it in the next one.
This movie would’ve definitely benefited from having a third killer
@@MadeByDW exactly, we have already seen 2 killers. I wanted to see something a little different like 3 instead.
i think they 100% need to do this with the next one. Keep the final killer a secret and then the movie after will be the same killer that we still dont know of. Id love that
I still think Tara was the 3rd killer.
@@YoYovitch that’s exactly what I was thinking
I think it would be awesome to have 3 ghost faces and one of the ghost faces actually get killed… it would give the characters a false sense of security that the killings are PROBABLY over and it would shake up the other 2 ghost faces to the point they would have to create a new plan on the fly
I think there could have been 3 as when Tara was attacked in the opening scene Richie was still in Cali with Sam, who was recording and attacking amber at the same time of the recording
@@WallofJohn probably a looped video maybe.
I didn’t really mind Dewey dying, i just personally wished that struggle was a little longer. It definitely looked like he was going to go full badass on Ghost face but it in my opinion it lacked a little something i mean they had a whole hospital to play with.
I already knew about his death in advance to my screening (i figured it out via the official sound track) but even though I made peace with his death, I agree that it lacked something. I didn't picture in my head it being caused by Gale calling him on the phone (let's face it, he would have died anyway because he decided to go back). I was kinda' hoping, he'd go down saving Gale in some capacity after the hospital scene. I knew he was gone the moment he turned around from the elevator for sure. The entire film up to that point, foreshadows his death, build him up (when he was never a good cop) and watch them fall. Something wasn't entirely right with this final scene for Dewey.
My issue with his death is that Dewey is too experienced to go out like that. Why did he not shoot Ghostface when Amber first fell? Why didn’t he unmask Ghostface right then and there? Why did you go back?! If we would’ve gotten a scene with the original 3 together, I wouldn’t be so salty, but seeing Dewey go out like that hurt man. I knew what was coming as soon as he stepped out the elevator, but I don’t feel like the movie truly earned it.
@@MadeByDW exactly how i feel! I mean i was like damn 20-30 years as a cop and surviving 4 attacks i would think he would be a little smarter about it. To me it felt like if your gonna take out a legacy character let him go out guns blazing felt like he fucked up on the same stuff he preaches.
He had survived so much, just to kill him off like that was ridiculous. What makes it even worse was that it was the teenage girl that was half his size that killed him. It was a stupid moment and stupid character decisions all around.
I saw the death as how all the love and problems they had and it was the last gale call them caused him to die… I honestly thought it was a commentary on their relationship
I was honestly so upset when Wes' mother was killed in broad daylight. She just wanted to protect her son who she loved so much however Amber (Or The Boyfriend Guy Forgot his Name) killed her off right before she could get inside.
I loved that they did a lot of cutbacks to the original films, to see Billy was such a great touch sad to see only him and such a small amount but props to this movie it definitely had me on my feet trying to figure out who was who. Legit thought that Wes was one of the ghostface killers but the second his mom died I knew that it couldn’t be unless he had a reason why he wanted his mom dead. But to be honest didn’t see amber to be the killer at all totally threw me off and I was surprised good for this film I would rate it 9/10
Call backs. There wasn't that many. And real scream fans would be actually disappointed
Seeing Billy was a nice touch? It was contrived. Why was she seeing him? Because she was traumatized? She didn't even know him. Supposedly, never met him. She did drugs, but never hints at her having any sort of mental health issues except "I'm a killer's daughter" Why is he older yet is looking like how he did in the first movie? These are important things that drive the film to its idiotic conclusion, so answers are needed. They're not left for speculation either. Just contrived plot elements needed to drive the plot forward.
@@sopekaunutoa8210 exactly
@@yourenotthatguy7051 Yeah the whole Billy Ghost part made no sense to me. At the end the ghost is helping her? Like why lmao he's a rapist and a serial killer. Also the killers motives kinda sucked lol It's goofy so I put this movie on par with Scream 3.
I personally liked the billy loomis' 'ghost' haunting Sam. I got a different feel from it, being as if it was Sam's fear of becoming a killer like him and I think it was good to put that in the movie.
I thought they were going to make her the killer after she sees Billy's ghost and have all the interactions she has with ghost face be inside her head but very real to the audience.
Ppl were really pissed by that, but I liked it because it showed she was scared of the fact of becoming one. I know they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree but Sydneys mom was a "whore" but Sydney wasn't! We need to remember that Billy wasn't a Psycho always he drove into cause of the affair problem with Sydneys mom. But Stu complete Psycho he laughed and joking around that's scary!
Yeah exactly, and the fact that it’s not even a ghost, because she suffers from schizophrenia as insinuated, it seems billy is a manifestation of her guilt and fear
I loved when Richie said "I know, it sucks it's me." Cuz that's exactly how I felt about that reveal.
This movie surpassed my expectations it felt new and refreshing yet so nostalgic and awesome ugh as someone who’s loved scream since I was young this movie was everything!!!
I loved your analysis of the movie. Dewey’s death scene and Gale’s reaction had me in tears. This movie was so emotionally charged with suspense while paying homage to horror icons *chef’s kiss*. I hope they include more of the parents in the next one!!
I also really liked the movie! The only flaw I had was that the main (Melissa Barrera) I felt was really not committing to the role. I know its big shoes to fill as a final girl, but when the killers were revealed with strong actors it was really obvious to me how poor her performance was. Did anyone else feel this way?
If I had seen this movie for the first time without any indication on who the main lead was, I would've guessed it was no one.
I definitely thought she was one of the weakest characters in the movie.
I didn't like her that much during the first half, but thought she grew stronger as a character with every minute. And Richie's death was one masterpiece of physical acting.
She has the same bad acting in In the Heights, I don’t think the performance was bad because she had big shoes to fill, I think that’s just how she acts, not very good :/
@@jonaskeller4687 Dude are you the killer from scream 3?
Mindy has to be my favorite character in the franchise aside from the trinity of Sid, Dewey, and Gale. Even more than Gale-wannabe from Scream 3. And that "turn around, behind you" scene, where she's watching Stab, then turns around. Perfect.
I think we all knew Dewey would get killed but it still hurt and it had me in tears.
Edit: I’m so glad about the Kirby Easter egg. So glad she survived Scre4m
I really HOPE & pray that they kill Kirby off once & for all in SCREAM AGAIN!!🙏🏿😔
When the boyfriend hesitated to go to the house, I figured he didn’t want anyone to know that Amber was gonna murk more people
But he planned for Sam and Tara to go there all along
I think the “legacy” characters got just the right amount of screen time. I was sad Duey died however :(
I thought it was way overdue for one of the trio to *finally* die
I wasn’t able to accept that too 🥺
@@Stigmatix666 Same. I thought this did a great job of passing the torch and I really liked the new characters introduced. Probably the best cast they've had since the OG so I'm excited to see where it goes next.
And Kirby is revealed to be alive
She sure is! Very excited
This film has literally brought me and my sister together in a way I never thought we could be. She is over a decade younger than I; and since it's announcement we have been talking about it and making plans to see it. We went opening weekend together and both loved it. It was a bridge to show us that we actually have tons in common. Was it perfect? No. Was it an amazing movie and excellent love letter to Wes and to the fans? Yes. Very much enjoyed it. "It's always someone you know; unless its Roman."
I like the scene when Wes talked about about Dewey being the killer, that scene was funny when Dewey told him his words cut deep. Also, Dewey mention to Sam about going back and shooting the killer in the head because it mattered to him.
The Dawson’s Creek episode also wasn’t just a Scott Foley heavy episode, it was a horror inspired episode called “The Scare” so super fun Easter egg as I’m a huge Dawson’s Creek fan
Oh nice!! Never watched show so I wouldn’t be able to tell what episode it was lol thank you!
Totally forgot about that scene. I really need to see this again haha

@@3CFilms Try watching that episode. You should get a kick out of it. The person that semi creeps out Katie Holmes in that episode is the same guy who gives the wine to Jamie Lee in H20. He was Kevin Williamson's assistant at the time. I met them both at a screening of 'Halloween' 1978. It was a few years after Scream 3 was out and I asked him if they used any of his plot for 3 and he said not at all. His was more about the media and how the mislead the public. 👌🏼 That was in Hollywood. Oddly, the assistant lives in the same tiny town as I do now? Maricopa, Arizona. That dude followed me!??!😱😂😂😂😂
You know I'm not sure many would agree with me on this, but I'd love a scream movie where they flip it on its head. We follow the ghost face killer trying to complete their plan and hide their identity, sort of change them to the protagonist. I think it would be a lot more interesting to almost have the audience rooting for ghost face to win
I thought that’s what we’d get with Sam. I thought she’d end up being like schizophrenic or something and not realize she’s a serial killer. That’d be an amazing twist if we get another movie
But that's not what's screams all about tho. Even tho that def sounds dope but it just wouldn't ever even be a twinkle kn the franchises eyes at all. Just cuz of how we've grown to love these movies since 96. I'll never forget I was 7 yrs old watching my first rated r movie o thought I was hot shit going to school and telling all my friends I watched scream lol. That day idk how we did it but all 9 of us snuck in one by one And all watched it. Mind you this was when movies were 1.50 and 99 cents before 6pm lol. Man I miss the 90s. Best years growing up.
I love how in the opening scene they had Tara playing with the kitchen knives as she conversed with the killer just like Casey did
I noticed that too! Loved all of the little Easter eggs.
Also if you look closely, the house has a swing to the far right in a tree. The house is also white and backlit by a low fog just as Casey’s was. Ghostface also appears behind her and grabs her like Michael appears from the doorway and stabs Laurie.
Recently saw the movie and it was good but where the hell was the mother lol?
@@marchbros-bk9hp Have you had an alcoholic mom before?
Personally I didn’t see Richie being the killer until he stabbed Sam but with Amber I knew she was the killer the second she mentioned “what’s wrong with elevated horror?” during the conversation at Mindy’s house. If you look back only Tara mentioned the phrase “elevated horror” to the killer in the opening.
Amber was the killer after she was still alive after the opening scene…
To be fair it was kinda obvious when he didn't help Dewey when he was fighting off Amber's Ghostface
I would say this is also the first pair of killers that actually seemed to like each other! There wasn’t one outsmarting the other really. So that was pretty refreshing to me. I also liked that having two killers made sense with the story arcs of the new girl, Sidney, and Gale. Sam had to take out Richie for her storyline to feel complete and it made sense that Sidney and Gale would deal with Amber for killing Dewey. Also wanted to say I had a feeling one of the killers would be Amber. She just looked so angry the whole time. I knew something was up with her. Plus why throw a party when your “best friend” is in the hospital. I think you would rather be by her side the whole time.
What about Jill and the geek when they revealed themselves. They both liked esvjofhef to until she stabbed him in the heart pun intended lol. We can't forget those two in scream 4
Not gonna lie, after Dewey's brutal death, I was scared they were going to kill of Sydney at the end. Glad that did not happen. I for one loved this movie. Cant wait to see what they do from now on.
LMAO it wasnt brutal anymore after the killer was revealed as that TEENY TINY WAIF girl. GTFO... took away any drama from that scene and turned into YEAH F'N RIGHT. that twig would have snapped after 1 punch. But way too overlook bad writing!
And Judy also that was shocking I was so glad Sidney lived!!?! Her and Gale both fought Amber I hated Amber loved how Gale shot the stove and Sidney pushed her towards it I was so happy Amber was a psycho!!!!!!!

@@BigDilf3 couldnt have been sams BF that killed dewey tho and not the girl?
Also I felt like Dewey dying could have been impactful, but I was just blown away by how stupid he was for me to really be upset that he died. He seriously shoots the killer multiple times, then leaves, then comes back??? Alone??? Ugh it made no sense.
I feel like the character would have been smart enough to shoot the head from a farther distance. Seems really stupid. I nearly walked out of the theater. And how about the sheriff going into the house where she knows there is a killer without her gun?!
I agree. With you dealing with this 4 times. Why wouldn’t you immediately go for the kill shot and reveal the killer right there. Instead of run then come back.
I thought he would at least kick the knife away him being on the force for so many years. Thought he was going to be badass in that scene but it was kinda like he forgot all of his police training and everything that happened before. Like you aren’t going to take the mask off while the killer is down?
@@mistwoodpublishing9963 Just like the Dewey situation they were both caught up in stress, she probably didn’t wanna waste time getting her weapon as she’s trying to get to her son as soon as possible so he doesn’t get killed. Even then it wouldn’t have mattered she was caught off guard
@@spam-ws2pc that isn't how stress works lol. Adrenaline often heightens your decision making ability. That is such a lame excuse. Nevermind that Dewey seemed pretty collected as he approached the killer. And no cop would leave their gun in the car like that. You'd have to be an absolute moron, stress or not.
One of my biggest issues with the new scream film was that it expected us to care about these new characters just because of who they were related to. I didn’t like Sam or care about her. She had one facial expression the entire film. Her sister Tara was much more interesting and had it’s a shame she wasn’t the lead.
I didn't care about Sam but she is actually crazy so I was glad when she stabbed her bf like 20 times.
YESSS. I hated the main chick. They need to kill her off and make the sister the main one
Tbh, the whole descendant lineup is cheesy.
I liked it a lot, but felt Neve Campbell needed to be in it more. Her presence as Sidney always leaves me wanting more.
I think it was done on purpose, it feels as tho they're making SAM the new Syd,but with a TWIST!!!
However, I mean HELLO SIDNEY is classic, it doesn't fit any other,well NAME LOL
Remind me the way we wanted so much Luke in SW7. Instead we had Leia/Han + Han death. Sidney has come to Disney lol
I think Neve isn't interested in being the center of these movies anymore. She's already given that performance two and a half times and probably isn't interested in doing it again.
@@johnsmi213 Yeah, I could defniitely see that...good points! I just love Neve so much in Scream...can't get enough of her:)))
@@alexander3699 Too bad they couldn't find a new Neve to play Sam. Melissa Barrera can't act and her character was supposed to be edgy and tough and strong... yet she just came off like a soft-spoken woman trying to recite lines that she had memorized from a script.
I was so thrilled to see that little nod of Kirby surviving!!! I hope they bring her back in the future
They better!!
I kinda think she coupd be the opening kill in 6. I think thats the max amount of time she would come back for since she stepped back from acting.
I didn’t notice it?
Kirby is dead I don’t get why people don’t understand this🤣💀
@@rydbthatsme not anymore buddy Kirby was confirmed to have survived
Raise your hand if you cried when Dewie died 🙋♀️😭😭😭💔
Saw this movie yesterday I loved it and billy loomis’ performance in the movie. And a lot of people predicted who the killer would be and were right 😂 I loved the movie
Haha yeah many got it
1) Dewey's death was done poorly; he walked right up to Ghostie to shoot them with a gun, and zoned out when his phone rang??? MORONIC!
2) Not one scene with the OG trio together
3) Gale was with newbs when she found Dewey dead; she should have been with Sidney or even Martha/Judy (someone legacy who knew him).
4) I would have used Judy more, but her kill scene was good
5) Billy having a love child from nowhere was LAME, Roman did it first. Why did no-one mention her grandmother was also a killer when her *secret* was so pivotal??? AND if Sam is five years older than Tara, how is that high schooler 18 or younger in 2022?
6) Why didn't Sidney and Gale phone the police when they realised where Act 3 was happening?
7) Why would Sid go into the house alone PERIOD
8) The first 'half' of the film was too long/slow, they should have cut 10 minutes and given 2 of them to the OG trio. They could have cut Vince entirely if they weren't gonna use him.
I did actually like the film and will buy the DVD. But they went ON AND ON about being huge fans of the series while making it, and I don't see that here.
The film definitely would have been ALOT better if wes was still here.. But it wasn't a terrible film i just wish they didn't kill off dewey id rather have gale die honestly but the motive was so damn hilarious i just wish the ogs had way more screen time than they did
Sidney went inside because she wanted to get revenge on the killers for killing off dewy
I called Amber being a killer from very early on however I thought her motive would have been to get back at Tara's sister for leaving Tara behind and I really really thought one of the twins (the sister most likely) was the killer and when she got stabbed non fatally at the end I was just waiting for her to pop up after the final fight and get Gale or Sidney but I guess they jus wanted to take her out the fight so she would survive
Yeah off screen sustained injuries are always sus. Also wouldve been the first time it was two female killers and no male. We havent seen that nor a solo female killer yet.
This movie was great!!! I enjoyed it. The theater was filled with scream fans. We had a good time. Amber is the scariest ghostface. The Meeks and Terra were AMAZING. Dewey's death left me crying.
Amber and Sam are fine asffff🤣
@@antoniocardenas8473 I agree with this
@@savagegamer7125 Amber is very pretty. Really unique look.
I definitely cried...I was like nooooooooo😢
@@kiaramarzo6400 I BALLED OUT LOUD lol. Tears running down my face. OMG. I can't believe it. What a night.
I had a fun time watching this film today the kills were very brutal and good, but i have to say, they didn't do anything new in this, it was just 2 killers AGAIN ! who were deranged fan boys, i feel they could have done 3 killers this time, during the final act, i was expecting tara to be revealed as the 3rd killer. Would have been better if Tara was the mastermind behind everything and there was 3 killers in total !!
I thought that Tara was going to be a killer, but not actually teamed up with the other two. I thought she was going to be on her own
I get you, I hope in the next one they try doing something different!
@@kimberleymonroe1157 yes that would’ve worked perfectly
Then you would have had to have a different opening. There would be no reason to attack her while in costume and with such brutality while al alone.
@@michaelrein5207 but like she wouldn’t be teamed with the other 2 killers she would be on her own like Kimberley Monroe said
I liked the movie. Amber was intense, I'd say the most psychopathic since Billy! But the suspense and dread and character background/development just wasn't there; I feel as though Kevin not writing/producing played apart in the poorer character arches. 6.5/10 C+. I'd rank them as S1(10/10) 2ND Place- S2 (7/10 B) 3rd S3 (7/10) 4th S4 (7/10) 5th S5 (6.5/10) then 6th TV Show (6.5/10). I did read online it was Kevins idea to bring back Jill and isolate Sid; I think we'll see that in part 6 because Neve reportedly isn't returning. I still say it's ok to replace Neve as Sid! I also would've loved to see Dewey go out/down as the killer, because he definitely had motive. I loved how Ritchie hinted at Dewey having motive. 👻 🔪
Personally, I was really hoping Stu would be back. Imagine, Richie being the Son of Stu; Dating the Daughter of Billy… Or Sam being Sydney’s daughter. Billy could have gotten Sydney pregnant, then Billy dies the same night, but between scream 1 and scream 2, Sydney took a year off; she could’ve had the baby, given her up because she couldn’t handle the stress and maybe doesn’t want her daughter to be involved in this tragic story and murders etc. And so Sam’s “mom” is her adopted mom; and could’ve really tied that in there. Stu goes into hiding or changes his identity over the years, he knows the secret of Sydney and the killers would be Stu and his son/daughter and goes on a murder spree 25 years later, with the motive of “you killed my friend, you took my life away” OR “he’s making a better movie in honor of Billy because that’s what Billy would’ve wanted” or something along the lines.
I wish there was more character development with Amber and some others; just seemed a tad…rushed or looked over but over all I’d give this movie 8 stabs out of 10.
You should definitely write for the next movie. I love your ideas
Glad you don’t write movies
same
Sam’s mom is Sidney because Billy and Sidney had sex in first movie. If it’s not, then who is Sam’s mom? 🤔
@@Laufield Sidney isnt her mother, she talks about her mother in the movie and it is definitely not Sidney 😂
I really liked Wes’s death. It looked super brutal and reminded me of something like Rambo or Early Schwarzenegger films.
Also I love the commentary on Toxic fandom because honestly, they’re not wrong. There was a reason why I left comic book fandom years ago, and I tried to come back to it because of Spider-Man No Way Home, but I quickly realized my mistake when I saw that nothing had changed.
I was pissed they killed wes bru
Toxic fandom sucks, it hurts being a fan of anything and having to deal with being lumped in with the man children who think Paul Feig, JJ Abraham’s, Rian Johnson, Colin Treverow and anybody who creates a remake, reboot or sequel ruined their childhood
I cried watching dewy die 😢
When he showed up in the hospital I thought, they're going to survive Dewey is there and then they took him to soon. I agree it was a lot more graffic and creative death scene. Richard's first scene I knew he was the killer and when Dewey called him out it was the cherry in top. I loved the movie no matter what!! Great come back!!
Great review as well!
I really enjoyed the Billy Loomis cameo I wish everyone would stop calling him a ghost tho he was a hallucination, Dewy made me tear up in the theater and never suspected Amber at all but I figured Richi out when he was cast. My big pick was the Twins tho they did well making them red hearings
I liked the Billy connection but her age doesn’t add up. If she left at the age of 18 and her sister said she’s been gone for 5 years she’s 23 and Billy died 25 years ago. They should’ve just not mentioned her age small negative.
Maybe her mom found out she was pregnant after the end of Scream? That could add 7+ months to her age
yeah definitely a plot hole. as long as you don't think too hard about it it works lmao
So you try to say that ppl who complain about the movie for whatever reason are the toxic ones? Strange. Most toxic and rude comments I read are from those who liked it and attack ppl who didn’t like it. The who dunnit element is one of the main topics of the movie. Being so predictable for this franchise about who the killers are is for me a huge let down. It might be not the only important thing about this movie, but it’s a huge deal. So knowing it before the reveal shows that it’s not well executed and that they didn’t even try their best to hide it perfectly. They could done it by misleading us better.
But in any case, it wasn’t a bad movie, but still the most uninspired one for me, since it felts in most parts like I’m watching the original one again.
I hope they do better in the next one. They should also improve the dialogues.
After seeing the movie again, I did like it “more”. This movie had the best opening since the original, and I loved the fact that Kirby was confirmed to be alive. That’s when I felt that the new creative team really did want to honor Wes Craven, and they did just that. Every prior movie was shown some type of love. Both killers do slight things that give themselves away throughout the movie, just like in previous movies, those lil lines of dialogue and lil exchanges/looks they give each other. My biggest gripe, like with most “requels”, is that they didn’t give us our big 3 together again. If we would’ve gotten just one shot of the original trio together, I wouldn’t have minded it, but they weren’t given enough to do, and they were super sidelined. I do agree that Jenna Ortega’s Tara is more interesting than Sam, I didn’t like Sam until the ending when she went ballistic on Richie. A “serial killer” for the good guys is a kinda interesting angle. Mindy is definitely the standout, I’m glad her and Chad have the ability to return.
When did they confirm Kirby being alive? Did I miss something?
Does this mean James has to subtract a kill from Scream 4's kill count?
@@dlaface7237 During the scene when Richie is watching TH-cam clips, on the right side of the screen you see a thumbnail of Kirby with the headline “Interview with Woodsboro survivor Kirby Reed.” It’s one of those blink and you will miss it moments…I myself barely caught it at first.
How tho in 4 her guts were out of her body. How can they just retract a death scene that clearly killed her?
@@vegitogogeta4110 her guts were not out. That’s dramatic. 😭💀
You didn’t even mention that Liv’s last name is Mackenzie and in Scream (1996) when Casey’s parents can’t find her. Her dad says he’ll check if the Mackenzie’s heard anything and you never get to see them and there daughter or granddaughter has to be Liv. Which is why she was such a Red Herring.
Oh crap didn’t even catch that , nice!!
The biggest plus for me was that I actually ended up liking the new characters which I didn’t expect. I was especially glad that both of the twins survived
I didn’t like the motives, it would have been good for one of the ghost faces but the main motive?
I understand , I really liked it lol
I agree 100%. I would have preferred if one of them had a more intimate motive.
@@3CFilms after watching ur vid , I like it a whole lot more
Dude. I’ve been following you since you started covering the Child’s Play remake and I gotta say, I’m so happy you’re getting the love an attention you deserve. Your my #1 trusted source for all things movies and I honestly can’t wait to see you in your own cameo in one of these movies. Keep it up bro. It should of been you in there!! Lol.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Ironically, this film talks about the Child's Play remake.
I haven't really expressed my opinion being such a fan and still now knowing how i feel lol. But when u show then reveal of Scream 4 I literally got chills on how I surprised I was, and then Jill killing her partner (bam) another surprise, makes me again question the reveal for Scream (2022). Idk maybe it's because I know these movies like the back of my hand lol, but I literally saw moments they put in there that let me know yeahh that's the killer. Like when Sam shot Amber in the hospital and Kirsch looked back when going to the elevator b.c he was worried she was dead, I knew it was him lol, b.c. that's Scream and what they do to reveal who the killer is so when you look back you're like ahh. My whole point is I wasn't surprised or shocked by the reveal. Still liked the movie tho.
I already knew Dewey was going to die(which was sad) because in the trailer Gale was like Shocked and the only people she would only do that to is Sydney and Dewey(also Randy who died in Scream 2)
I absolutely loved this movie!!!! Scream is my favorite horror franchise, and I watched all of your scream videos!!! The movie for me was a 10/10 very good, but one problem I had that I didn’t think was bad but I just didn’t fully understand the killers motive! From now watching this video and thinking back it makes since now and I love the movie even more! Thank you Chris!!!
David Schwimmer is already mentioned as an actor of Stab in Scream 2
I really want stu to come back even Matthew lillard said “it was just a tv” I love his performance in the first scream and after hearing about the original plot for scream 3 I just want it to be in an actual scream movie
Really thought they were bringing him back in this one with how many times when people would mention the 1st killers they just mentioned Billy. Thought maybe the killers would be inspired and tutored by him.
That would be really dumb, but honestly, if you told me we'd be following the conveniently undiscovered bastard children of Billy one of which hallucinates him.... I'd have thought that was some really fanfic bullshit too.
Stu is dead! Get over it. However, Stu *is* in the movie, he's the Ghostface in Stab 8..
OK. Very popular opinion: I think the OG characters have appeared too much in this movie. I would have preferred to get to know the new characters better.
I’ve been a diehard fan since I saw the original in the theatres on day one. Man…I called it very early, and I wasn’t feeling Billy Loomis pulling Patrick Swayze from Ghost.
Agreed. As someone who saw the original when I was 13, the ending wasn’t as shocking as the original but watching a portion of the fan base completely unravel makes me appreciate the movie more and more. Personally, I loved it
Idk why. Some claim its taking a shot at them and om no it's taking at shot at hollywood🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ like making fun of how Rian Johnson completely ruined star wars was a joke in it because they saybhe directed stab 8 and bankrupted the franchise and divided the fanbse and the super annoying af gf of the football player says that's the only stab she liked and they like ugh of course u would😒 my big criticism of the film is the friends group tho. No friends accuse each other like that and so jokey about it..well I take the latter back because I've been around irl serious ish thats made national news and me and my friends didn't gaf and made fun about it because we were twisted college students then..but no one accuses so easily and seriously LOL
i remember watching Scream (1996) when i was 5-6 years old, (now im 22) i found it very scary that i would literally watch it with no volume and getting ready to run out the door because of the jump scares lol. nah but it was a great movie, just saw his ranking on other Screams and I totally agree with it. i totally agree with you too, like the ending was almost similar to the OG but had a nice vicious twist
I didn't HATE it but didn't like it for the same reason I disliked the new Matrix. They took the meta stuff too far. It's more forgivable for Scream bc it's always done that. But they were just straight up mocking the movie and the entire idea of it. Like, why make the movie at all if you're just gonna fill it with comments about how dumb it is? That stuff got way too much screen time. I find it stale and boring.
So I think Stu’s sister is going to be in 6. They just casually mentioned who Vince’s mom and uncle are. There has to be more to it!
The first Scream film not directed by Wes Craven, who passed away in August of 2015 from cancer. The character of Wes was named in honor of him and the film is dedicated to him in the end credits.
Much like in Scream 3, Sidney Prescott is not prominently featured in the first part of the film
Debut film of French model Sonia Ben Ammar, who is well-known in France.
David Arquette said he was excited to regrow his now-famous mustache for his role as Dewey Riley.
Dylan Minette was born 9 days after the original Scream came out in theaters in December 1996.
The area code for Woodsboro is shown to be 707. This is the area code for Santa Rosa, where the original Scream was filmed.
Despite playing their mother, Heather Matarazzo (Martha Meeks) is 12 years older than Jasmin Savoy-Brown (Mindy), and 14 years older than Mason Gooding (Chad)
A street sign reading "Elm St." is visible at one point. This is one of several references to Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street in the Scream films, including the location of the Prescott house in the original, as well as Wes Craven's famous cameo as school janitor Fred, who wears a very familiar sweater.
Screenwriter James Vanderbilt's wife's name is Amber Freeman. This is also the name of a character in this movie.
31-year-old Melissa Barrera plays 23-year-old Sam.
The first Scream movie in which the opening victim survives.
First Scream film where neither of the killers have a personal motive against Sidney Prescott.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' song "Red Right Hand", which had prominently featured in the first three Scream films, returns to the franchise after being absent from Scream 4 (2011). It's heard when Ghostface turns on Vince's car before killing him.
The first Scream film to not feature an opening murder.
The way how Richie gets slashed on the arm is similar to how Derek and Jill got slashed on the arm in Scream 2 and 4.
The film's end credits font is the same one used in the credits for the first three movies.
First Scream to feature all deaths be a result of knife or firearm.
Tara is the second Scream series character to be stabbed through the hand by Ghostface following Olivia Morris in Scream 4 (2011).
The opening is incredible
Yes it really was!
I agree with the billy cameos. First watch I’m giving it an 8/10. I don’t know if I like the killer reveal ending as much. Still they did a great job. Dewy’s death hit my soul. I loved the Wes craven tributes as well. Ghost face saying it’s a honor gave me chills. 👍🏽
The way they killed Dewey off was total garbage and it's going to hurt future films and the Director's should have listened to the cast and not killed him off!
Imagine it. 3 ghostfaces. 2 working together and another rogue ghostface with his own motive. Maybe one killing suspects or people who they feel are bad and the 2 sticking to the revenge plot line
The show slasher pulls this in one of their seasons. I won't say which season so it doesn't spoil it
I don’t feel like the movie gave Dewey’s death enough significance. As fans, we all felt Dewey’s death in our souls but I just feel like his death should have been a way bigger deal within the movie to match the heaviness of it that the viewers felt
I was looking for a comment that said something like what you just said. Gale mourned Dewey quickly, and Sidney didn't seem to mourn him at all. The other characters barely acknowledged it. I'm sad that they killed Dewey, though I honestly saw it coming after the trailer. I just don't think it was done right at all.
The brutal finality of it.... they made him look so tired and pitiful, like they were just putting him outta his misery 😭 I think he showed he had a lotta fight left to the very end dammit!!
I think if they do a sixth film, his death will have an effect on that movies plot, kind of like randy in 3
The dude that’s killed at the bar felt forced
I think Sam could become killer at some point. The way she was struggling throughout the movie with the visions of Billy and not wanting to be like him. Then at the end she finally gave in and stabbed the shit out of Richie. Now she’s got a taste for killing. Just a thought
FACTS! ESPECIALLY SINCE SHE SLICED HIS NECK?! I WAS LIKE “SHE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A KILLER”
My prediction:the treatment for the next two films was pitched to Neve Campbell in order to persuade her to return. This new trilogy is a commentary on the "making of a serial killer". Sam will be Ghostface in SCREAM 6. She will survive until SCREAM 7 when she is placed in a mental institution where ( Stu) is located. He will be the puppet master for the final killings in 7. Gale will die; leaving Sydney walking away the ultimate final girl. Sam is the twist in the new trilogy because she is actually the villian not the hero
I dont think Stu will come back that dude is dead. You don't come back after that. Even if he survived that dude is not smart enough to be a master planner.
I love Stu, but there's noooo way he should be alive. Dude was about to pass out and die after being stabbed like 5 times... then head smashed by big TV? lol Nah
Sounds like Star Wars 8 and 9 : with Kylo Ren ambiguous motives and Palatine return lol
God damn this movie was epic. Glad the queen survived. Sid and Gale kicked ass. I was balling like a mad man when the killers killed Dewey. I loved how it all was linking up with the og movie. That Tera was living in Casey's house and Amber being in sids. Seeing Billy back as a ghost was definitely cool even at the end helping Sam find the knife smiling at her when she went full psyco mode like thats my girl. I definitely think that brutal murder unlocked something in her head maybe for her to be the next killer getting a taste for blood.
I really liked the movie, Sam having visions of her dad I thought was a little cliche at first but as the movie went on I was rolling with it, really liked how they tied it into to the end by helping Sam defeat the bad guy. Having not been to the movie theater in like 3 years this movie definitely scratched that itch.
I absolutely loved this movie! Saw it in a packed theater with people cheering throughout. As a long time fan of the franchise, it felt like a return to form. They even passed out posters at the theater of ghostface. The entire experience felt like going to see a Scream movie in the 90's. It was awesome! The film was nearly perfect. It was the perfect mix of humor, horror and nostalgia. And the commentary of toxic fandom was 100% spot on. And you're right with the fandom literally proving the filmmakers points. TH-camrs and toxic fandoms have spiralled out of control. When you make your entire personality off hating the thing you claim to love and worse make a living off of it, you're a special kind of ignorance. Although I really enjoyed 4, this film felt like it could be the perfect ending to the franchise, or a great starting off to a new franchise.
