I wanted to hate it, it’s not THAT bad though, new setting was nice. For me part of the magic of scream has always been the surviving main cast has always returned. While I appreciate them mentioning Sidney being absent, they way they did hurt her legacy and the the franchise in addition to making it awkward should she come back. That paired with the heartbreaking loss of Dewey in the previous film sucked all but a glimmer of magic keep alive by Gale out of the film.
I said I wouldn’t pay to see this and I didn’t but I think next time I won’t even allow someone else to foot the bill for me to see it. While it was a good movie and give the actors their dues, it just didn’t feel like a scream movie if felt much like when other horror franchises pull from the second string stars to keep a franchise alive. Unless they bring back Neve I’m out even if Courtney returns, let’s face it after this one she’s not going to have much mileage left
Next time keep negotiations going find a compromise give the woman her dues she is scream.
