Happy Easter! Here's a completely unrelated movie. 
Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) survived a pair of serial killers in high school only to be met by a worse fate: being played by Tori Spelling in the movie adaptation. But when a copycat begins recreating the Woodsboro murders, Sidney must face her traumas head-on.
This has never been my favorite franchise. I wasn't blown away by the original and I never really felt the need to go back to it, but considering it's on its 7th entry with an eighth on the way, I thought it might be time to give it a second look.
It's definitely funnier than the first one. It leans into the meta aspects of being a sequel and I actually liked the dramatic recreations of the first movie with an entirely different cast. (LOL, Luke Wilson with floppy emo hair.) The line delivery was the weakest part for me. It felt like every actor was waiting for a dramatic musical sting after every line. Maybe that's Wes Craven, maybe that's just the 90s style, but it sucked a lot of the fun out. Still, I had a pretty good time overall.
The whole collection is streaming on Paramount+ right now, if you're so inclined.
