[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 297510, member: 5079"] It's a good point. The original SCREAM has a good sense of [I]place[/I], something most movies -- particularly horror films -- don't bother with. The idea of a cinematic soft reboot is interesting: films that are sequels, reboots and semi-remakes simultaneously. I think the idea first popped up in 2015, with CREED, THE FORCE AWAKENS and VACATION all serving that function. If SCREAM 5 is going to work, it needs to do more than just blend the old with the new. It's not enough to just retread of 90s glibness and 80s gruesomeness with, presumably, a dash of 2020s wokeness and technology; it will need to bring something new to the table in the way SCREAM revitalized the slasher genre. I suspect it won't be nearly that ambitious. [/QUOTE]
