⭐ Insomniacs Rating: 4/10 THE SUMMARY Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has finally found peace in the quiet town of Pine Grove, Indiana, raising her teenage daughter, Tatum (Isabel May). But the peace is shattered when a new Ghostface emerges, specifically targeting Sidney’s family to "finish what was started." With Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) arriving to document the chaos, Sidney is forced to confront the ghosts of her past—including the shocking return of faces she thought were long dead. It’s a legacy-heavy sequel that tries to pivot the franchise back to its roots after the "Core Four" era, turning a family sanctuary into a blood-soaked battleground. THE PROS Neve Campbell is pure quality as always, stepping back into Sidney’s shoes with a weary, protective edge that makes her feel like the ultimate final girl. Isabel May is a total winner as Tatum, bringing a punchy energy to the "next generation" role that feels more sincere than your average slasher victim. It’s a 4/10 because the opening scene is a genuine belter, delivering a tense, high-stakes sequence that briefly recaptures the magic of the original 1996 film. The return of Kevin Williamson to the director's chair ensures the meta-commentary is absolute spot on, especially the jokes about "requels" and legacy sequels. The production design of Sidney’s fortified house is epic status, making the final part of the movie feel like a desperate, claustrophobic siege. THE CONS It earns a 4/10 because the "big reveal" of the killers and their motives is a total damp squib that makes almost no logical sense, even for a Scream movie. The middle part is incredibly sluggish, filled with lengthy scenes of characters sitting in coffee shops discussing "the rules" without any actual tension or scares. It misses a higher mark because the decision to bring back characters like Stu Macher and Roman Bridger feels quality-deficient and desperate, cheapening the stakes of the previous films. At 114 minutes, the pacing feels like a bit of a marathon, and the constant jumps between Indiana and the B-plot with Gale in New York are a bit of a head-scr—they’re just messy. The CGI used for some of the more "creative" kills is a bit quality-deficient, making the gore feel honest-to-god fake compared to the practical effects of the older movies. THE VERDICT A 4/10. A disappointing entry that feels like it’s running on fumes despite the return of the legacy cast. A winner only for those who are obsessed with franchise lore and don't care if the plot holds together. Go and watch it if you must see Sidney back in action, but be prepared for a story that feels more like a bumbling fan-film than a professional sequel. This remains a highly anticipated watch for some, but for most, it’s a sign that the Ghostface mask should probably stay in the box for a while. INSOMNIAC TRIVIA • Legacy Casting: Isabel May’s character, Tatum Evans, is named after Sidney’s best friend from the first film, Tatum Riley. To make the connection feel more sincere, Isabel May reportedly spent hours watching Rose McGowan’s original performance to mirror some of her punchy, sarcastic mannerisms.• Secret Production: To avoid leaks about the returning cast members, the production used the working title "Blackbird" and filmed most of the climax on a closed set in Atlanta. Even the actors were given "fake" scripts for the first part of filming to ensure the identity of the killers remained an honest surprise.• The "Stu" Debate: Matthew Lillard’s return as Stu Macher was a quality-heavy secret that divided fans. Lillard actually wore the original Ghostface robes from the 1996 set for one specific scene to make his "legacy" return feel more absolute spot on for the hardcore viewers. THE VIBE Like an old high school reunion where everyone is trying too hard. It smells like mothballs, cheap theatrical blood, and the stale scent of a 90s video store.
