It was good, not great. Fun enjoyable watch for sure. Wished it was longer. I forgot about one of the newbies until they died lol. This was Dewey's best film since the original IMHO. Gale was badass as pure usual. Sidney also kicked ass but she always feel underused for some reason.
The script was pretty sharp, love how this franchise has always been so self aware of itself. Some cool commentary in this one, but i had hoped for some breathing room to let us a sit with the new kids more.
It was fun to try and guess the whodunnit but After you seen enough of these the killer wasn't a shocker but i still enjoyed the final act. These directions love doors lol. I'm still processing my feelings about the kills; I believe they could have added some casual kills to up the kill count a bit. The hospital death was pretty badass the back & front

so was Wes psycho homage.
Apart of me thinks the sisters should have switched roles. Tara is definitely the new Dewey lol. I have become obsessed with the actress playing the female Randy she has A-List Star charisma. Clear favorite!!!
My rankings as of now potentially the 3 in th middle will change depending on my mood.
Scream 1
Scream 2
Scream 5
Scream 3
Scream 4
"It's stab 8 why don't they just call it Stab 8?" Lol
