Neve Campbell is opening up about the ending of the new movie Scream and why she questioned a twist that happened in the film.
Review: 'Scream' calls again, with plenty of self-mockery
13.01.2022 - 01:51 / abcnews.go.com
Ring. Ring.Twenty-six years after the original, “Scream” calls again. We're now up to the fifth film in the franchise, but the first since 2011's “Scream 4.” Enough time has passed that this one, titled simply “Scream,” bears no number, no caller ID.
That's presumably because this “Scream,” which features the original cast and introduces a new generation of callers and stabbers, is sequel and reboot in one. Or, as one character explicitly defines in “Scream,” a “requel.”Part of the charm of the original “Scream,” a glossy, couldn't-be-more-‘90s slasher, was its knowingness. Wes Craven’s film, written by Kevin Williamson, made a plaything of genre conventions by having the characters openly discuss horror tropes while also being bludgeoned by them.
The bright idea of the new “Scream” is to double down on the meta. Here, the long-running “Stab” movies — the fictional stand-in for the “Scream” franchise — is mocked as cheeseball shlock. In the movie's opening phone call, one that mirrors the call Drew Barrymore received in the original, Tara (Jenna Ortega) — after initially ignoring a strange call on “the landline” — tells the strange voice on the other end (again Roger Jackson, franchise MVP) that she prefers “elevated horror" like “The Babadook," “Hereditary” and “It Follows.”It's easy to chuckle (and agree) with such winking pronouncements.
There's a lot of such self-referential jokes in the new “Scream." But that's about all there is.What really is the legacy of “Scream”? Most, I suspect, hardly recall the three sequels. The original got a big boost from the personalities of its performers, among them Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette and Matthew Lillard. (All but Lillard return here.) But, like Tara
