The main downfall of this movie for me is them rushing through all the original character scenes. Why are new sequels (or requels) doing that?! Stop it!! We want to see the classic characters: Sidney, Dewey and Gale! The character of Dewey was just sad, I wanted to see him be helpful and see his self esteem rise throughout the movie but no that didn't happen at all :( he and Sidney never even had a chance to reunite! :( Sidney and Gale have very little to do in the movie.

The actress playing "Sam Carpenter" was very bland. Jenny Ortega as "Tara" was definitely the better actress here and her I'd like to see continue in the scream franchise.

Was pretty gory movie and there was a few decent inventive kills. My hubby and I had fun trying to figure out who the killer(s) were thinking it would be really interesting but when the reveal happened.. it was lackluster.

I saw that they're already planning on a Scream 6... I hope it's better than this one!

I kind of of feel like this was a mockery of the new Halloween movies. Like, this couldn't have been serious? Or was it? I don't know. It was entertaining, gory and some party were unintentionally funny (or intentionally funny?). I don't know but I laughed a lot. Either way, I didn't like that they basically just tossed "Sally Hardesty" aside and left her character to die in a pile of trash bags. It was really disrespectful to her character.. :(

I really like shows/movies with a survival premise- I loved The WILDS!! I just finished watching the amazing HANNA so I was a need of a new show... It's not that this is a bad show but I feel like it missed the mark.

The cast is pretty talented and the scenes with Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci are my favorite. The show moves very slooowly. The survival stuff is good and interesting but there's not enough of it. I'm assuming they're trying to drag it out for a season 2(3 and 4).

The downfall for me is that the show takes away a lot of suspense when we basically already know who lived and who died. The pacing is weird too. For instance: we as an audience didn't even get to know "Travis" or see his relationship with "Misty" until after his death as an adult!

Another downfall is that the character of "Shauna" (both teen and adult) is SO unlikable, selfish and manipulative that I just don't want to watch her at all and that character gets waaay too much screen time. Poor Jackie! :( Just give us more scenes with Christina Ricci!!

This is a more serious version of Wrong Turn that gets a lot right but sometimes I think it took itself a little too seriously. You have to sort of suspend your belief on on several things that go on in the movie to thoroughly enjoy it.

I watch a lot of horror movies and I didn't see where this one was going all the time which was refreshing! It really is an intense movie! Honestly, I think it would have made a great Tv show or miniseries because there are so many interesting characters we're introduced too and the movie takes so many twists and turns.

The acting from everyone was very good, the actors made some of the more unbelievable parts a little more believable. The woods actually looked pretty creepy, even in the day time! I liked the idea of the backwoods cult-like community. I thought "Venable", the leader of the community was especially creepy-actually he scared me more than any of the people dressed up in camo and animal bones!

There were some things that kept this movie from being excellent... I found it really hard to believe that no one outside that little town had been able to find that rather large community in the woods, it couldn't have been THAT hidden or far off the trail since the group of friends were able to hike close to it pretty easily and even a group of town locals drive their truck right up to where the traps were set! After being rescued the movie skips forward SEVERAL WEEKS and a lot didn't make sense: why didn't they tell the police about the community? Were they not questioned about the whereabouts of Jens friends? There were several prisoners left and they also just left Jen's boyfriend at the community even though he was likely suffering from being brainwashed-Those people needed rescued! I think they should have could have something on the radio/news announcing that the community was found or something like that right before the events of the very last scene, it really would have made much more sense!

Despite some of the more unbelievable things that go on in the movie, its pretty good! I'd definitely watch a sequel!
