This reboot masquerading as a sequel (it’s a bit difficult to define what the film is, although the word that best fits is recuela) closely follows what we saw in the original film. But it is that it follows it so closely that even the characters connect with the events of Woodsboro seen 25 years ago within fiction. Richie (Jack Quaid) and Amber (Mikey Madison) fill in for Billy and Stu to execute another massacre in Woodsboro.. The work was well received for the large number of winks and references to Craven’s signature, but it could also be understood as an almost manual copy and paste.
