Terrible film. Early on, the film makes fun of the SAW franchise for not containing any character development yet turns around and comes up with the blandest, lifeless characters imaginable. The original SCREAM turned the horror genre on its head. It was slick, self-aware, played with conventions, kept you off-guard and was always inventive.
This edition is the exact opposite. The film has nothing to say and worse, has nothing to add to the genre. It tries to make points about the new rules of horror yet doesn't do anything inventive with them.
Instead of hearing about the murders, this time (because of the internet) you're going to see them. That idea might have been cool but the way it's handled, it quickly becomes a bore. The same can be said about almost every aspect of the film.
Script seemed more like a rough draft. The ideas were there but weren't fleshed out at all.
