Scream (2022)

 


Scream (2022) pulls off a pretty neat parlor trick. It tells the audience exactly what it's doing, what the franchise and other similar slasher movies have done, reunited surviving members of the legacy cast, winked at the audience of fankids who are WAAAAAAAYYY too smart for their own good, revealed the ending long before it arrived and STILL was able to deliver genuine jolts and surprises. Well done!
