Our take
Sidney Prescott returns as Ghostface targets her family. Rated MA 15+ for strong bloody violence, gore and language. Expect stalk-and-stab set pieces, bloody kills, jump scares and frequent f-word dialogue in a self-aware but very violent franchise entry.
Uplifting themes
Survival and protecting family matter, but cynicism and body count rule Sidney models resilience, though the world around her rewards horror-movie rules
Story (may spoil tone)
When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter becomes the next target. Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.
