Not since Scream 3, a Scream film is as funny as this. I mean, of course, the fandom passionately hates Rian Johnson's Stab 8. While the self-referential elements can be overdone sometimes, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett clearly love and understands the franchise well since we can feel it throughout the entire film. The social commentary might not be as sharp as previous films and the script was sporadically clunky, but Scream is bloody good fun. The new characters were delightful. Still, must admit the film comes livelier when the legacy characters appear on screen, although they tend to be positioned as supporting roles only.
