Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe fact that Dewey never mentioned his sister Tatum or her death was an oft-criticized aspect of the prior sequels, making it seem like she had been forgotten. Here, we see that he still keeps her ashes on the mantle.
- GoofsDuring the beginning of the film whilst Tara is walking through the house, in the window to the right of the front door the camera guy can be seen clearly during both scenes that take place during the hallway shots.
- Quotes
Wes Hicks: [suspecting Dewey as the killer] You got stabbed a billion times, got dumped by your famous wife, and crawled into a bottle. I think it's safe to say you're on the suspect list.
Dewey Riley: Well, maybe you're the killer. Because that cut deep.
- Crazy creditsThere is a scene at the end of the movie that says "For Wes", then another appearance of Ghostface.

I went in with fairly low expectations, and came out of the cinema feeling thoroughly entertained. It wasn't perfect, but it was a very good installment, it managed to pack a lot in to what by today's standards is a moderate running time (refreshing not to be sat for 2.5 hours!)
Let's begin with the two best elements for me, firstly the visuals, this movie looks terrific, some gorgeous shots, those behind the camera did a tremendous jobs. Secondly, the horror element, they managed to surprise you constantly, you didn't know when the next scare was coming, good fun for those that love jump scenes.
Nostalgia seems to be the order of the day in films for 2021/2022, and if you're a fan of the first few, there is a lot here to enjoy. They really do pay homage to the first one. A good awareness of where the film sits in the franchise history, and some nice commentary.
Slightly more serious than the last few, don't expect the humour from years gone by, there isn't much of it.
I'm reminded of the Halloween reboot, it's a quality film, that embraces its past, but offers something new as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, 8/10.
A nice touch regarding Wes.
