2025 October Horror Challenge #43 "Scream 5"

So I'm watching Scream 5 because I haven't seen Scream 5 or Scream 6 and scream 7 is coming up soon and I would like to watch that one as well because I like the scream movies so I'll watch them until they stop making them pretty much That's just what's going to happen I'm that kind of a fan they inspired devotion and their fans. But I heard somebody tell me that they had a problem with one of the character deaths in this movie they said I'm not mad necessarily that the character died although I did like the character I'm mad at the way the character died because it doesn't make sense So I was watching to see if I agreed with that statement and now that I'm seeing the movie yeah I agree The death doesn't make sense It's stupid and annoying and it insults all of our intelligence and I don't understand why it happens the way that it does so boo on that. Other than that death though so far the movie's pretty good the beginning was great the opening sequence I definitely liked it and I liked that they continued the tradition of the killer being human meaning you can kick the killer and beat the crap out of him with a chair and it will hurt the killer not like those movies where the killer is invincible because that's just not fair and I liked how they brought in the family story although I think one of the family connections is kind of stupid and they're not explaining how it happened and they're just leaving it there like we're just going to accept that this happened without any explanation of how and I'm irritated by that but other than that I do like the new characters and I like seeing the characters return There were characters that I actually liked from some of the previous films that I did not want to see die in this movie so I'm pissed but that's the way the cookie crumbles and scream movies so I understand we'll see how the rest of the movie goes. yay we get to see two girls kiss and a Scream movie My life is now complete. So what did I think about this movie in the end Well I have to say that it was actually pretty good I didn't guess who the killer is but you know I've given up on ever trying to guess who the killers are in the Scream movies because I just it's not about that for me I don't trust anyone and I hate everyone and I just think every once the killer and one of these days there's going to be a scream where everyone is the killer it's going to be like that Agatha Christie book where everyone is the killer in the end and they're all killing each other and I could see that happening in the screen franchise because honestly they just can't seem to do it with just one killer except in part 3 oddly enough part three managed to do it with just one killer. So part 5 like I said has two girls kissing part 5 has a person with asthma losing their inhaler and having to go back to a murder house to get it and part 5 has hidden family secrets that as we all know can't stay hidden because they're going to come back because the past is never really passed and it's going to come back to bite you in the ass. or something like that generally with these movies that's what happens. I wish they explained how I don't want to ruin anything or spoil anything but there's a twist that I wish they would have spent more time on because I just can't see with the timeline of the first movie how this twist could have happened and I guess it just bugs me that they rely so heavily upon this twist Just being true with no one questioning it and I don't know I find it irritating I know that movies like this have to reveal twist Wait a minute I'm your best friend sister's brother's boyfriends uncles brother-in-law That's why I'm the killer but in this movie it seems like it's really reaching and I wish they would have tied that up neither and there's one character death that that guy on Twitter was right it is stupid but other than that I did enjoy this movie I liked the acting I liked the relationship between the sisters it felt real to me I liked the chemistry that Gail and Sydney have on screen because at this point Courtney Cox and Neve Campbell have been in a lot of movies together so they just work they're fun to watch and it was great to watch them kick some ass and it was great to see ghostface stabbing people again because that's really what these movies are all about So let's move on to the sixth one and we'll see if that one is worth checking out.
