I don't hate this film, but it genuinely feels like it tried too hard to address issues people had with Scream (2022). In doing so, it loses some of its inherent charm. Without giving spoilers, it lacks its meta self-awareness. It becomes just a sequel adding nothing to the overall narrative. It was also very rushed. Again, I don't hate it but I feel like you could lift the entry out of the franchise and lose nothing.
That said, it did a few things I enjoyed. Primarily, it gave more depth to our main characters. How that plays out in Scream 7 remains to be seen.
Overall, not the worst movie, but easily and quickly my least favourite since Scream 3.
