Pros:

The banter between Gale, Dewey and Jennifer

The hollywood murder mystery angle

Neve's performance

Cons:

Some of the meta stuff felt a little forced

The killer and the motive.

Pros:

-Parker Posey

-Sidney's writing.

-finding a way to bring Randy back.

Cons:

-the killer and their motive, as you said.

-the absence of Kevin Williamson's witty, self-aware writing. The closest thing to a horror reference is Vertigo.

-the new characters outside of Jennifer, who are all boring or unlikable or both.

-the toned down violence.

Yes easily less references and a pg13 blood, its horribly edited out. Fun but average. Also it became way to goofy and comedic which steals a little credibility.

It wasn't as gory as I thought it might be. I didn't mind that to be honest. Just blood on the clothing mostly. And some of the stabbings are not shown. And generally I thought the plot twists were a definite pro for this movie.
