Good movie

That's disappointing. I would think Eli Roth wouldn't be interested in the smarmy, unclever postmodernism of Scream.

I really enjoyed it. Had the same thought comparing it to Scream. Maybe Eli Roth could do a future Scream movie? I doubt it though, he'd want to do his own thing more than be constrained by a Ghost Face narrative.

Yeah, overall really fun movie. Hilarious in the right parts so the gore isn't overwhelming. Creative deaths. I liked who they chose to kill and not kill, not entirely predictable. Fun how the love triangle played a part in the plot but wasn't annoyingly overly-focused on, and refreshing that the pairings weren't always in couples. I loved the character of Scuba.

They're already developing a sequel. Hopefully doing this whets Patrick Dempsey's appetite to return to Scream. I wonder if he'll return for Thanksgiving 2. Which really should be titled The Leftovers. If he returns, it'd be cool for him to have an ongoing franchise where he's the villain character. Though it'd be odd for it to go as long as many slasher franchises. But if he returns, then the sequel might lose the whodunit aspect, or figure another way to bring it.

So you're in the camp thinking there was a second killer? I've seen this floated around other forums but just curious to hear your take.

I liked the lead girl, she kinda reminds me of the late Britanny Murphy which I adored. She has a good screen presence too.
