The premise

Fifteen years after the original Woodsboro murders, Sidney Prescott returns home to promote her new book about surviving trauma, only for a new Ghostface killer to emerge, targeting a new group of teens.

Horror Vault's take

Sidney Prescott's triumphant return to Woodsboro — the small California town where her nightmare began — is derailed when a new Ghostface killer starts hunting a fresh crop of victims. As the body count rises, the rules of horror are rewritten for a social-media generation that grew up idolizing the very murders Sidney barely survived. Wes Craven's fourth entry leans hard into meta-commentary, skewering remake culture and the millennial hunger for notoriety. Old allies and new faces collide in a whodunit that gleefully questions who gets to be the final girl this time around.
