Review:
I love the scream franchise they are so much fun to watch and are just silly and over the top horror, but so addictive. I didn’t even realise that a new one had been made honestly but then I found it on a streaming service and had to give it a watch.
I really liked the twists and turns within it, I had my guesses who were the killers but never a full idea, it kept changing as it went along. It literally could have been anyone of the kids in the group. Bringing back the legacy’s was such an incredible idea and I loved seeing them reprise their roles and them reliving the torment through these newer kids going through it.
I loved that we delved deeper into Billy’s child what an interesting story arch and how messed up she was because of everything that went wrong in her teens years. I really liked that it was the thread that was causing all the killings as it was a perfect connection to the legacy’s.
The killings and attacks were hilarious again, I don’t know how they manage to make some of the most gruesome scenes actually funny at the same time. It’s so weird. I really loved unlocking the story, seeing the characters as they struggled to deal with everything going on. I really enjoyed this movie and am glad that they managed to create a movie that was good like the original one.
I was honestly really impressed with this one and wasn’t sure if I would of enjoyed it at all or not but did, it fit in perfectly to the originals and was so entertaining and the connections and the characters were amazing. I’m looking forward to seeing the next one that’s coming now.
