Thoughts
I really wasn't convinced this was going to be any good but I couldn't have been more wrong. This movie is why we've suddenly worked our way through the Scream backlog, intent on seeing how they manage to get the gang back together. I think it was really well done, totally believable, even whilst these movies are really going so meta they are almost impossible at this point.
It was the most gory and scary of the series but still pretty mild and more of a mystery than anything else and honestly, it would have been a perfect film if it hadn't been for killing off Dewey. Boooo.
