“They alway come back.”
That’s the word of warning fans are given near the top of the latest (and final) trailer for the fifth feature film installment in the self-referential slasher franchise Scream, which opens in theaters this Friday.
From there, fans are given a quick glimpse at what to expect, complete with pull quotes from critic reactions and a shot of an apparent flamethrower sequence that looks to be a highlight.
Catch the new Scream trailer up top.
The direct Scream 4 sequel (and first to not be directed by the late Wes Craven) is set 25 years after at the events of the first film, with a new murderer having taken on the appearance of Woodsboro killer Ghostface. Returning as part of the cast to once again give fans even more of their death-dodging characters are Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers, David Arquette as Dewey Riley, and Marley Shelton as Judy Hicks.
Joining the returning stars are Scream newcomers including Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Mason Gooding, Mikey Madison, Kyle Gallner, Jack Quaid, and more.
“My character, Sam [Carpenter], becomes the target of the Ghostface killer,” Barrera, whose recent credits include In the Heights and Vida, recently explained when teasing where the new Scream story may or may not take the franchise. “She seeks Dewey for help.”
In Arquette’s words, Dewey’s “huge heart” is what ultimately inspires him to once again get involved in the pursuit of a masked killer.
