This film was shaping up to be good. It wasn't excellent, it wasn't the best in the franchise but it did everything right... That was up until the final 20 minutes where everything just went down the drain. It has to be the weakest and lamest ending to any "whodunit" slasher ever.
It had none of the commentary that scream 3 had, to justify such a whacky and lame killer. They essentially took the characters you care the least about, didn't bother to progress their characters and made them the killers.
Zero spoilers but if you want to work out who the killer is, look at who you care the absolute leaste about and that's who it is.
They also brought back one of the most forgettable legacy characters and made her an FBI agent who essentially does nothing.
Also congratulations to Courtney Cox for negotiating top billing and only having to be on screen for literally 5 minutes.
The action, suspense and the kills are all good. It's fairly inventive for what it is but the ending really drags it down.
