This used to be a favourite of mine, but I found myself falling out of love with it some years ago. With the 25th anniversary and the upcoming new film, this seemed as good a time as any to revisit it after a good few years.

The best things about the film and the series for me have been the town of Woodsboro and the warm, rich cinematography, and it still delivers on that front. The locations and properties really grabbed me this time round, and I found myself coveting each home in turn as we travelled around Woodsboro.

This time round, I realised there&#039;s a huge male/female divide between the characters. The women are sparkly and interesting and carry this film. The younger men are&nbsp; played very broadly as gurning clowns who can&#039;t take anything seriously, and there are are too many &quot;adorably clueless&quot; or comic relief types among the men. Kenny and Randy are the exceptions as the lighthearted stuff feels appropriate for them and they both steal their respective scenes.

All the same, it holds up really well, looks great and I found myself appreciating all over again what a breath of fresh air this film would have been to a category of film that had become stale and derivative.
