Eleven years of peaceful life for Sidney Prescott comes to a sudden end when,
on the 15th anniversary of the original Woodsboro murders, two high school
students are stabbed to death. Evidence is found in Sidney's car and suddenly
she's a suspect. Deputy Dewey, now
Sheriff Dewey, isn't falling for this bullshit and starts a full
investigation. His wife, investigative reporter Gale Weathers, is heading up her
own investigation and even enlists the help of some high school students/film
nerds who talk too much.
As usual, various unimportant characters are stabbed to death and in the end,
lots of running around and talking nonstop culminate in the killer revealing
himself/herself/themselves and then lecturing the Final Girl until I start
yelling "Hurry the fuck up!" at the TV . Thing is, despite the overload of
cultural references (I'm sure those Facebook and Twitter comments will make
about as much sense in 40 years as "rabbit test" does right now) and annoying characters I liked this movie better than the
two previous sequels, but then again that's not saying much. Entertaining watch,
but I was really disappointed in how this movie was just another rehash of the
original. I was really hoping that in the last decade they could have at least
written something fresh that would shock the audience. But I guess not.
Zero tits, moderate blood,
SHAWN OF THE DEAD
on TV, minor gore, slow pace. Same shit, different decade.
