Watched Scream (2022) by an author from letterboxd.com
Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past.

Considering the complexity of what this film needs to achieve, I thought they had a really good stab at it.

Some of the meta stuff seemed a bit hammy and on the nose but I’m not sure that wasn’t intentional.

There were some excellent kills too. Top drawer stuff.

Not sure it really works as a whodunnit, though. Had it in the first act… but, again, I’m not sure if THAT wasn’t intentional too.

★★★★
