Title of sixth entry pokes fun at the trend of legacy sequels having the same name as original.
Anyway, 'rebootiquel' is directed by Michael Tiddes, written by the Wayans family and Rick Alvarez.
Marlon Wayans - Shorty Meeks
Shawn Wayans - Ray Wilkins
Anna Faris - Cindy Campbell
Regina Hall - Brenda Meeks
Olivia Rose Keegan - Sara Campbell
Dave Sheridan - Doofy Gilmore
Savannah Lee Nassif - Tuesday Campbell
Cheri Oteri - Gail Hailstorm
Gregg Wayans - Brad Meeks
Kim Wayans - Nurse Ratchett
Additionally, Antony Anderson, Kai Cenat, Teyana Taylor and Shaquille O'Neal appear as themselves.
Summary
A group of friends reunite when a masked killer they first encountered 26 years ago begins another reign of terror.
Unlike the original, film is set in Woodsville, an obvious play on Scream's Woodsboro.
Extra scenes
A trailer for Brosferatu (a spoof of Robert Eggers' 2024 remake of Nosferatu) and an interrogation scene from Longlegs featuring Really Really White, is shown throughout end credits.
Eat a dick
Replay of Scream (2022) has no real continuity and self-contained shit includes Final Destination: Bloodlines, Terrifier 3, Smile, Candyman, Sinners and Weapons.
Two sequences deserve praise.
Ghostface crashes an experimental procedure that Gail is having and injects her with The Stuff (The Substance), causing Tiffany Wilson from White Chicks to be born.
Before killing Tiffany, Ghostface says: "White Chicks 2 my ass."
(Laughs).
Interestingly, The Stuff is a real 1985 film.
During the Get Out part, a stoned Shorty is transported to the Sunken Place by Ghostface, and an alternative music video of Golden by KPop Demon Hunters plays out.
Completely out of place, but cool nevertheless.
But the rest was about as funny as a drunk sadist removing one's private parts without anaesthetic.
There's a difference between stupid fun and plain stupid, and the humour in this is definitely the latter.
Or as I describe it - fucking terrible.
Shit ends the same way as the opening scene of Scream 7 ends, (a house burning down), and that happening to franchise would be no bad thing.
