The Slashing Continues In The Big Apple.
Quick Review: Horror films are on an uprising this decade and this latest entry is amazing. This franchise is never heating down and they keep ramping up the violence while trying out new things to keep every film fresh. This film is bloody and it's insane until the end. I had a good time with this film and this cast made the horror much more fun. I feel like this movie was more of an action-horror film rather than a slasher but it still had some horror in it. The story is very good and the plot is still unique like in every entry. There are moments that are changed to make the suspense even more gripping and the opening is by far the best in the sequel. It subverts your expectations and makes you think even more about what's to come. The meta-commentary on horror films is very funny and smart. I love how they make fun of film bros and Gen Z filmmakers. Scream's social commentary keeps the series strong and their new interpretation worked here well. The cast is very great as always. Jenna Ortega gets more of a spotlight and I loved Melissa Barrera's character even more. The new cast of characters is also very good and it's nice to see the legacy characters back in this franchise. While we don't see Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) back, it's nice that we hear a mention of her character. The plot is very interesting. There are a lot of unexpected moments that will leave you questioning who's going to live or die. However, there are a bunch of plot holes that make the plot deform in the final act. The reveal was unexpected but I was half-sold on the motivations since we have seen it done before and it was kind of predictable. However, the ending was satisfying. The cinematography is a step up from the latest entry and the pacing of this film was pretty great. Overall, this film is a great entry into the franchise. While I believe last year's entry is still the best sequel in the series, this one was unique. More bloodier kills and more fun! That is what the Scream franchise is and the steam won't end.
