Obviously my opinion of the original cast is slightly biased, BUT I do think this movie was worthy of the franchise name. I think the new cast bring a lot to the table. It was nice to see JLH back on the big screen because it's been quite awhile. I didn't really like that it didn't create its own storyline. Once again there was an accident and they made a pact (that's not a spoiler). I will say that I didn't see the ending coming at all, and they changed it up with the killer AND the survivors. I didn't like the motive and thought it was from left field. My fave new character was probably Tyler. The cameos are top notch. You definitely need to stay for the end credits. They tried to capitalize on the luck of the "Scream reboots" and I'm not sure if that was wise or not. My overall rating is 4.5 out of 5
