Set twenty five years after the original killings and a ‘requel'(reboot + sequel) to the original, Scream follows the story of the town of Woodsboro which sees a new Ghostface on the loose. Who is the killer? The story here is a simple whodunnit which pretty much follows the same template of the original which is not necessarily a bad thing. The good bit is that the writers have not looked to experiment much and served what the audience had asked for – a good slasher story. The screenplay opens in a typical fashion where a supposedly unaware victim is attacked by a masked killer. What follows is the introduction of a new set of characters and as the poster says – The killer is on the poster(which means the obvious). And needless to say that the killings are fun to watch with a dash of humour sprinkled throughout. But what the writers do pretty well is that they get back some of the iconic older characters into the mix. The ample amounts of meta references to other slasher films is some really smart writing. Where the film slightly falters is in the middle. The sequences get repetitive and barring an emotional twist, the drama gets a bit boring. But quickly the drama is back on track in the thrilling last 40 minutes where the killer is unmasked(although the reason provided is just lame). The entire sequence featuring a party is just lip smacking good. There are also several jump scares, some of which land beautifully which is honestly a staple of the films in this genre. Overall, a fun screenplay which releases a sense of nostalgia for fans of the original.
