…it’s almost as if Williamson, serving as his own director for the first time in the franchise, decided to combine his two signature creations — Scream and Dawson’s Creek…
The Dawson’s Creek-esque dialogue seems like a foreign language in the mouths of Gen Z characters.
…not only like Billy Loomis, but like Joey Potter (Holmes) in Dawson’s Creek after him…
It gives the whole thing a faint “Dawson’s Creek” haze: earnest relationship chatter, jealousies and confessions, then a Ghostface interruption to remind you what genre you’re supposed to be watching.
…written by Kevin Williamson — the soon-to-be creator of TV’s teen drama Dawson’s Creek…
It's remarkable to think the same man who wrote this film wrote the first Scream, or Dawson's Creek, another series with great teen characters.
