When fans heard that there was going to be a new Scream entry 11 years after Scream 4, we were excited—and a bit hesitant. You can’t blame us. Wes Craven died and would no longer be directing, and there would be a brand-new cast of people we were supposed to root for. It sounded like the makings of something trashy. But in classic Scream fashion, the film turned the tables on audience expectations and gave us another great sequel.
In Scream 5, we’re introduced to sisters Sam and Tara Carpenter, who turn out to have a very direct tie to Billy Loomis from the original Scream. Plus, there’s another copycat Ghostface killer who's hellbent on getting rid of them. The gore is turned up for this one, but the hallmarks of Craven’s Scream are still here: the wild chase scenes, the ever-changing suspects, snd even our favorite legacy characters (Sidney, Gale, and Dewey!) return.—S.H.
