Scream 1 is my all time favorite horror movie. In fact, I love the whole series (even though scream 4 and Emma Roberts were just not believable due to height discrepancies). Besides that....they all bring something fun, slightly edgy, and different while sticking true to its roots.
Scream 5 is no different. It absolutely pays homage to the original. Total nostalgia! I understand some people were not fans of the reveal or killer(s). But what did you expect? Its not supposed to be shocking who the killers are at this point. Its about the drama that leads up to it, the guessing game, the shock factor if the kills, and the story line. The kills were terrific and totally savage. Um, broad daylight!!. I literally almost cried when "someone" died i didnt expect.
Honestly, if you didnt like this movie, its because 1. You werent born before 1996 to see the origional and really appreciate it back in the day including what its evolved into and 2. You missed the whole point of the franchise 25 years later.
