Quality modern horror-mystery, and nostalgia embracing/destroying movie! Genuinely surprised to say this is the best Scream movie alongside the original. 28 minutes in, I knew this wasn't going to be what I expected, nor just another "Scream" sequel, and also, somehow, exactly a "Scream" sequel. Well written and executed plot, with good (or sufficient, in certain cases) acting. The violence pushed well past previous films, which keeps you off-guard and surprised enough to keep you from focusing on solving the big questions of Scream - Who is/are the killer(s)? What's the motive? And who lives? Oh, and is Stu really dead? You really don't know all of it until the credits roll this time.

Well done, and enjoyable. A very well-written suspense movie. Great synergy of writing, directing, and acting. Overall story is a mix of Alien, Abyss, Sphere, Doom, and Deep Space. That aside, everything that transpires from each character fits an intelligent story progression. The quality in this film lies in the writing and execution of the actors and cinema team, and I feel that is sadly overlooked by many viewers. The characters make decisions in ways that are intelligent and fit their roles. Well done, all around.
