If your film is part of a series but you ditch the numbers after the title and simply name your new entry after the first movie, then you may be a requel. It’s somehow both a reboot and a sequel, a “return to basics” and a reset after diminishing returns. Yes, a requel - the distinctly 21st century Frankenstein’s monster of a franchise entry in which legacy characters from beloved series pair up with fresh blood in the name of breathing new life into an old but highly beloved intellectual property. It’s around this point that the smartest member of this would-be Scooby Gang, played by Yellowjackets‘ Jasmin Savoy Brown, figures out that these aren’t just copycat killings. Meanwhile, a visit to the ex-lawman Dewey Riley (David Arquette) after more bodies drop prompts him to reach out to both Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox), now a bigshot TV anchor in New York, and former final-girl extraordinaire Sidney Prescott ( Neve Campbell). Ditto Richie ( The Boys’ Jack Quaid), Sam’s boyfriend who’s along for the ride. Tara’s high school friends, made up of the usual assortment of pop-savvy jocks, geeks, kooks and mall-goths, are ready to play amateur detectives and find out who’s behind the Gen-Z Ghostface masks. They both have a connection to that first wave of killings way back in the day, though only one of them knows it. Her long-estranged sister, Sam (Melissa Barrera), rushes back to her old home town to take care of her. A potential victim, Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega), ends up in the hospital.
Jackson sinisterly asks a babysitter if she like scary movies…only now they’re arguing about the merits of “elevated horror” - word goes out that there’s a new Ghostface killer in Woodsboro.
#Scary movies 2 full movie in 300mb movie update#
Scream 2022 is nothing if not extremely up-to-date, knowing very well that it’s re-entering a poposphere in which the conversation is less “how cool were those movies!?” and more “how can I keep permanently reliving my childhood?” After a suitably snarky update to the original opening - another phone call in which the voice of Roger L. Fast-forward a few decades, and brand-name nostalgia is even bigger business the nature of franchising and fandom, however, has changed.
