Just as the characters in the “Scream” franchise love to talk about horror movie tropes even as they’re in the middle of a horror movie, please indulge me as I address the main group of young people who have survived the bloody entertaining insanity of “Scream” (2022) and are trying to get on with their lives a year later.
Dear “Scream” survivor gang: After your deeply traumatic, physically and emotionally devastating and widely publicized experiences in Woodsboro, California, it’s understandable you’d want to get a fresh start thousands of miles away, in order to escape the glare of the media and the pressure of being recognized everywhere and the intensity of day-to-day life. Having said that, I’m thinking it might not have been the greatest idea to relocate en masse to New York City! It’s the kind of thing you’d all criticize if it happened in a “Stab” movie.
