Thoughts
This was a good film, another solid entry in the Scream franchise with the trademark elements that make them so popular - the jump scares, the meta breakdowns of what makes a horror movie work and how the current situation fits, and the big twist at the end. I don't think it was as good as the previous couple - the gore was turned up a little bit too much, and I wasn't completely convinced by the killers at the end. But the meta was there, the fun amongst the horror still evident, and Hayden came back! Hooray!
