When Scream was released in 1996, it was something fresh. A generation of horror fans had just grown up on the slasher movies of the ’70s and ’80s, and now here was a new slasher movie that played into our shared knowledge of the sub-genre, pointing out and having fun with the formula and clichés. That film spawned a franchise – and the deeper into sequel territory we get, the more Scream has become just another cliché-ridden, formulaic series. And for me, one of the most irritating elements of its formula are the over-the-top endings where the latest Ghostface killer is (or killers are) revealed so they can monologue about their motivations.
