What’s your favourite 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:scary movie? Mine’s Scream - in fact, it’s my favourite movꦍie period. A big reason for that isಞ its strong cast of characters. Everybody has a purpose, a drive, and an ongoing life tangled in the monotony of the everyday. No one exists just to be killed or fulfil a role in the movie, and nobody is poorly written. It makes the killer reveal all the more captivating while every death deals a heavy emotional blow. You don’t have your usual eye candy final girl scream queen - Sidney is strong, independent, capable, and commands the screen with every scene. Her, Gale, and Dewey make up one hell of a trio. But five movies in, it’s time for that synergy to be shaken up.
Dewey, David Arquette’s loveable but less than reliable cop, was originally supposed to die in the very first film. However, director Wes Craven liked the character to such a degree that he filmed a scene with him being driven off in an ambulance on the off chance audiences shared his love. Since then, rumours spread that he was the illustrious third killer - two couldn’t have pulled off what Billy and Stu managed. Craven seemingly agreed with the idea of a third killer, as it was later revealed that the first movie had a third 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghostface, but it wasn’t Dewey. It wasꦍ Roman, the half-sibling scorned. The common thread here is that Dewey has never just been another character, just another victim, just another survivor. He’s always been caught up in the trappings of wild speculation. Now is the perfect time to build on that foundation and to do something truly unexpected.
The trailer has a few unspoken tidbits. Sidney has a wedding ring, Gale’s career is clearly thriving, and Dewey is a slob - it’s evident that he’s hit a slump. He’s been a cop in Woodsboro since at least 1996, but he got passed for sheriff by someone younger. He’s not doing great. Of the original trio, he’s the worst off. His friends managed to get through four killing sprees and come out on top, but Dewey just couldn’t. It’s no fault of his own - surviving what he went through would crush anyone. It’s a testament to Sid and Gale’s resolve more❀ than Dewey’s lack. But he has the motive now, and it’s one that perfectly coincides with the victim pool.
We know the killer is targeting the other Ghostfaces’ families. Many have taken that to mean the killer is a fan, an offspring, or another family member like Mrs Loomis in the second film. Some have suggested it’s a complete red heꦿrring. The theories are plentiful, but Dewey rarely crops up. In fact, he’s strangely absent considering how often he was theorised to be a killer in the past. His glory days are caught up in the same days of the killing sprees, likely giving him a morbid sense of nostalgia for when he was better off. Back then, he was dating Gale, he 🌌was on the rise as a police officer, and he was the hero. Now, he has none of that.
Who would Dewey realistically blame? Well, the killers - things were going fine in his life until another spree hit, and then another, and then another, until Gale dipped and Sidney moved on with her life, leaving Dewey in the old hometown with nothing but unkempt stubble and some dirty undies. But the killers are dead. The only one that has any semblance of ambiguity left is Stu, who was meant to return in 3, so Dewey doesn’t have anyone to take his anger out on bar the families of the deceased murderers. To avert any suspicions, he brings Sidney and Gale back, forms a little task force to help the ✤new blood deal with another killer, and puts himself right at the centre of the defence. After all that he’s been through, all he’s seen his friends and family go through, and after losing his own siste▨r, Dewey wouldn’t do it, would he? A better question is why would he not?
He’s the perfect twist - the underdog that nobody suspects. According to online leakers, some shots in the trailer and some stills are fraudulent. Not everything will make it into the movie. Ghostface trying to stab Dewey could be one such example. The parallels in the trailer alone are striking - the hospital scene bounces between Dewey and Ghostface walking down the halls, stalking a girl, both with close-ups of their faces. It could be ꦦanyone, and Dewey could be trying to save her. That’s the appeal of Scream. It seems like Dewey is either on the chopping block at long last or he’s finally snapped and decided to start his own spree, to usher back in the glory days that he shouldn’t long for. He’s the member of the trio that they need to shake up because, after four massacres, it’d be a bit weird if they all walked out just fine. Come on Dewey, give us a good old fashioned killer’s monologue.
