We’re barely one week away from the global release of Scream, the forthcoming movie in the franchise, sharing its name with the first in the series.

Perhaps it will come as a surprise to some to hear that a horror sequel being released in the month of January is getting some high praise, but this is exactly what’s happening! Those who have gotten an early look at the film have praised its many twists and turns, its gory kills, and how the story weaves together an all-new cast with its legacy characters.

“I can say that every corner of this movie, during the making of it, we have been very aware how to service fans, where the misdirects are happening, and the path that we want to lead people down,” co-director Tyler Gillett previously revealed to Bloody Disgusting. “Obviously, without spoiling the movie, we can certainly say that the trailer is definitely doing that dance. Part of what we love about the Scream movies, and what we love about the Scream fandom is just how deep people watch these movies. We think some of the fun of this experience is this forensic watching of things and trying to figure out who the killer is. It’s all a part of what’s so unique and so special about this franchise to us. As deep, deep fans of the original four, we took pains to populate the world of this movie, and certainly the materials with as many fun nods and Easter eggs and misdirects as possible.”
