This Movie Was Awosme

[@captainjacksparrow2811]

I enjoyed the movie stayed through the credits and through the movie I was waiting for a little Stu cameo

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

[@giventoflyx]

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

[@jacobramirez8753]

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

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.

[@Deisi666]

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?

[@corytrotz7659]

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!

[@vitorespindola]

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

[@Bluejay-jg6hz]

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

[@Evanz111]

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

[@naturistfred]

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.

[@PTDR1717]

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.

[@filiparon]

They set her on fire just like in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Mental.

[@gregbearne2195]

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.

[@keeleyfarris7393]

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

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

[@planetsidewinderreact]

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.

[@Harleyq2011]

I have to agree, i think i was engaged at the most during that entire scene. Soooo good

[@j2174]

@@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.

[@jorboii]

@@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.

[@j2174]

@@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!).

[@mariajustdamnsill3398]

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 🙄

[@Blast2224]

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.

[@miguelcastillo7168]

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

[@lalareal180]

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.

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

[@TwiStedReality1313]

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.

[@lalareal180]

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!

[@Icxvii8]

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.

[@hashbrowns7188]

@@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.

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.

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.

[@VegasAceVII]

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.

[@MadeByDW]

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.

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.

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. KZbinrs 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.

I also loved that final dialogue between Sam, Sid, and Gale when same says “Thank you.” It almost felt like this weird meta moment where Sam was thanking them for helping her but also this thank you from the fans to these two characters and actors because without them, we would have these movies.

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.

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. 👍🏽

[@AnthonyMurice97]

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.

[@Garbageman0]

I was pissed they killed wes bru

[@mrcritical6751]

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

[@SuburbanBeard]

when they played that song as dewey got stabbed it hurt. so many feels. so much nostalgia. scream 3 when that same song played was the only time i have ever stood up and cheered in a movie

[@alexander3699]

I liked it a lot, but felt Neve Campbell needed to be in it more. Her presence as Sidney always leaves me wanting more.

[@samorachannel2093]

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

[@begzog]

Remind me the way we wanted so much Luke in SW7. Instead we had Leia/Han + Han death. Sidney has come to Disney lol

[@johnsmi213]

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]

@@johnsmi213 Yeah, I could defniitely see that...good points! I just love Neve so much in Scream...can't get enough of her:)))

[@johnsmi213]

@@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.

[@michaelnealis1926]

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.

[@mistwoodpublishing9963]

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?!

[@cryodon]

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.

[@cristhianrosado6900]

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?

[@spam-ws2pc]

@@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

[@mistwoodpublishing9963]

@@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.

[@richardspurgeon3059]

You hit the nail on the head, this film brilliantly calls out toxic fans. I think that's why some people hate Scream 5, because they feel attacked, literally proving their point!

[@KylanHarv]

I love how, after so many, many years, each SCREAM movie holds to their own Pop Culture era: Scream - cliché horror films. Scream 2 - cliché horror sequels. Scream 3 - cliché trilogies. Scream 4 - cliché remakes/reboots (ahead of its time) Scream 5 - recent growing era of cameos and legacy characters soon to become cliché. AMAZING.

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

RIP Dew Drop, a legend. That was tragic, but also the most brutal of all the kills in the entire franchise. Even more so than than Jill's neighbor in Scre4m.

[@PlusUltraAdrian]

Yeah it was brutal.

[@jordanw3938]

The theme/motive reminds me of how when you’re sliding on ice you’re supposed to turn your car into it instead of away like you instinctively want to. It’s like they knew fans were going to be mad because how do you not make them mad trying to make a fifth installment in a three decade franchise. So they saw it and turned their wheel toward it and made it their point

[@jabarishabazz5928]

I didnt think of if that way. Cool analogy. Amber was obvious alot because of her facial expressions

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.

[@kamikazecamel]

I loved it. One thing that amused me was how it took the first film's line "Movies don't create psychos, movies may psychos more creative" because in this one, yes, movies do create psychos, but also it is the psychos wanting to make the movies more creative. The Judy/Wes scene is probably my favourite. Loved the opening. Hated the Liv character; the one they can't do anything with except make her a bad red herring. It makes sense for the legacy characters to not be in it as long. The events of the movie is, what? Three days? They can't keep having Sidney be the one the entire time. Really liked Jasmin Savoy Brown, Jack Quaid and the Barrera/Ortega double. I think there are plenty of ways they could take the franchise while keeping it with the things we love. Kirby opening scene coming in Scream 6?

[@Radical.Ghostface]

As soon as richie said there's always 2 killers after being adamant about not being a fan i was like 🤔🤔🤔

[@CodyWilliamReints]

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

Randy talks about David Schwimmer as Dewey in Scream 2 when they’re at the ice cream shop!

[@DarkHorseDanny]

In the original SCREAM I had a feeling it would be Billy, but I was curious as to why and what the motives would have been

[@Stef-Bef]

I liked it a lot! I did figure out the killers early on but that didn’t take away from the movie to me…I’m still on the fence about their motive or maybe their acting during that scene. I liked the gore & the kills and it was a very solid scream movie.

[@custominorEZ]

Yeah it seemed really easy to pick who the killers were even though they tried to misdirect. They should’ve tried to tailor the kills to the fact that there was a female killer though because I doubt a high school girl could overpower men the way she did for a couple kills that would’ve had to be her.

[@Wapiti_Jawz]

Honestly, I feel like when the guy at the bar was murdered, his car revving up and stuff was a subtle nod to Christine. And "do you want to play a game" I'm pretty sure is a nod to Saw. The only thing I didn't like, was that I guessed Amber was one of the killers from the beginning.

[@Kurni_On_yt]

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)

[@ElectraDupri]

I also love how they keep the tradition of the back and forth tributes with Halloween movies... they've always done it with each other over the years, and there's the obvious tributes of "you cant have a halloween without jamie lee" etc... but there's also how they talk about stab. Saying "it went off the rails with 5" and the fandom wanting to pretend 8 never happened... those are the exact halloween sequels that fans start to complain about. Then you have the character of Sam. The last name is Carpenter, a tribute to John Carpenter. But when you think of the fact that Billy Loomis is her real father, it would mean her real name is Sam Loomis.. Which is the name of Michael Myer's Doctor... I love all the nods to Halloween :)

[@MissteriousOne]

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!

[@TRal55]

When Amber & Richie revealed their motive as the killers, I immediately thought back to Mickey's motive in Scream 2. They are mirrors of each other. Amber & Richie killed in order to make a good horror movie. Micky killed because he knew he could get away with it by saying the horror movies made him do it.
