Red right hand was in the original scream first guys 😂. It always makes me think of scream 😱.

Heida

Which of the two killers was active and/or committed which murders can be figured out if paying close attention to Richie and Amber's whereabouts in the film: Tara's attack - Both were active but Richie was the one who attacked her since Amber was filming herself at her house. Vince - Amber, as she was at the bar when he was killed while Richie was at the hospital with Sam and Tara. Sam's hospital attack - Richie, as he was at the hospital and could have easily slipped away if Tara fell asleep. Judy and Wes - Both were active but who killed who is up for debate. The cop and Dewey - Amber, as Richie was present as an "innocent bystander". Though this has been a source of criticism for viewers since Amber could not have overpowered two grown men and shake off having been shot several times even with a bullet proof vest. Chad's attack - Amber, as Richie was still driving Sam and Tara to her house and by the time they arrived the attack was over. Amber sees Richie's car arriving and knows that's her cue to start clearing out the party, which is why she doesn't finish off Chad. Mindy's attack - Richie, as Amber was upstairs helping Tara look for her inhaler while Richie went to the basement. Dewey was supposed to die in the first movie but due to script changes he was spared. The directors said they both loved and hated killing him off but they felt it was essential to show that NO ONE is safe. It was also the only way to explain Sidney's return to Woodsboro. I hate it but I also love it from a film-making standpoint. It was brilliant because once you realise Dewey and Gale were divorced you think they are both safe because they need to get back together by the end of the movie. I do kind of agree with some of the criticism about the way he died though. It felt out of character and 'unrealistic' for him to go back like that (and not to take the fucking mask off when he had the chance!). But at the same time, it was kind of poetic for him to die saving Sam's little sister since he couldn't save his own in the first movie. Fans have even often criticised Dewey's apparent lack of grief for his sister since the character was hardly mentioned in the sequels. However, this one finally pays tribute to Tatum by showing a box of her ashes in Dewey's trailer. Vince is played by Kyle Gallner who was indeed the cop in Smile. He was also in Jennifer's Body, The Haunting of Connecticut and the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, and has been been in shows like Veronica Mars, Smallville, CSI: NY and Outsiders. I first saw him in an episode of Cold Case where he played one of two teenagers who shot and killed people in a mall (it was heavily based on the Columbine school shooting). Jack Quaid (Richie) is the son of actors Dennis Quaid & Meg Ryan (the latter mentioned in the original). Chad is played by Mason Gooding, son of Cuba Gooding Jr. Dylan Minnette's reaction to seeing GF was genuine as the filmmakers sneaked the killer into a take where he wasn't expected to be. Minette also hadn't seen the GF costume yet so he was legitimately scared. Sid's line "I'm Sidney fucking Prescott, of course I have a gun" was Neve Campbell's idea. Some easter eggs/references: Sam Carpenter's name is a nod to Halloween and Psycho. Her surname is a reference to John Carpenter who directed Halloween, and if she were to take her father's name she would be Sam Loomis, which happens to be the name of one of the main characters in Halloween AND Psycho (both of which Scream is inspired by). Additionally, Psycho stars Janet Lee, Jamie Lee Curtis’ mother. There is also of course the reference to the shower scene in Psycho. Meanwhile, Wes is INDEED named after Wes Craven who directed the first four Scream movies before he passed away in August 2015 from cancer. The movie is literally his Memorial Party. At the very end when the title card appears that reads "For Wes", there is a sound bite of birds chirping. This is due to the fact that in his free time Craven was an avid bird watcher and enthusiast. Furthermore, this particular bird is a whippoorwill - a psychopomp which guides souls to the Centre of afterlife. There are numerous voice cameos from returning cast and crew, resulting in a touching tribute to Wes Craven. Drew Barrymore (Casey), Matthew Lillard (Stu), Jamie Kennedy (Randy) and Henry Winkler (Principal Himbry) from the original all have voice cameos during the party, along with Hayden Panettiere (Kirby in Scream 4), Adam Brody (Detective Hoss in Scream 4), writer/producer Kevin Williamson, producer Julie Plec, composer Marco Beltrami, editor Patrick Lussier and Craven’s widow, Iya. Furthermore, Drew Barrymore is the principal making announcements on the intercom right after Tara is attacked. Matthew Lillard delivers the very meta line "Cool house Freeman!" during Amber's party (which is being held at his character's house) and he also does the voice of flamethrower GF in Stab 8. Lastly, Jamie Kennedy says “Someone’s goofy ass dad is kicking us out” after Richie tells everyone to leave the party. The writers confirmed Sidney's husband "Mark" is Mark Kincaid, the detective in Scream 3. Neve Campbell didn't even know until after making the movie and thought it was funny because she portrayed Patrick Dempsey's sister on Grey's Anatomy in between Scream 3 and 5. In the original when Sidney says she is haunted by her mother's murder Billy says "It’s like Jodie Foster in The Silence of the Lambs when she keeps having flashbacks of her dead father". Sam is Jodie Foster and Billy is her dead father. When Tara is in the hospital she is watching Dawson's Creek, a show created by Scream writer Kevin Williamson. The episode she is watching, titled “The Scare” (S01E11), is an homage to Friday the 13th and involves the characters being creeped out by rumours of a serial killer on the loose in their small town. Joshua Jackson (one of the guys in Randy's film class in Scream 2) played one of the main characters on the show. On top of that, the clip used features Scott Foley (Roman/GF in Scream 3) who guest starred in a few episodes. Times when the movie alludes to the real killers: Before Richie introduces himself to Amber at the hospital, he covertly glances in Sam's direction to make sure that she is still fooled into believing that he and Amber are total strangers. Richie's “I’ll be right back” is like Stu in the original (plus, Randy was Mindy’s uncle). When Sam gets a call from GF in the hospital break room, her caller ID says "Maybe: Amber Freeman". Richie watching the first Stab movie in the same room as a sleeping Sam and Tara after the latter has been attacked by GF and put in the hospital seems very insensitive, but in hindsight the character is most likely mocking the sisters for failing to work out that he is one of the killers. When Richie is watching a video about Stab 8, the top recommended video is "Interview with Woodsboro survivor Kirby Reed", confirming that Kirby did indeed survive the last movie (The scene was initially going to be a clip of the video and in a deleted scene there is a missing poster of Kirby briefly visible). Another video with the title "Did the real-life Stu Macher survive?" is a reference to how often the idea of bringing the character back has been teased as a possibility in the series despite his apparent death. In fact, an early draft of the Scream 3 script had Stu return as a killer before the infamous rewrites. Everything on the YouTube page is an Easter Egg, right down to the subscriber number 821,939 which is Wes Craven's birthday, August 2nd 1939. Richie's "Did you just hit me with a phone?!" to Tara in the hospital is a reference to Matthew Lillard's improvised line in the first movie. Other attacks that are a nod to the original is Chad's attack outside mirroring Casey's and Mindy's shoulder injury mirroring her uncle Randy's first wound (Mindy's attack parallels her uncle's attack right down to the color scheme of their outfits - both are wearing a light green top and brown pants). Richie and Amber bond and come up with their plan after meeting in a subreddit dedicated to the Stab films, which is likely a blended homage to Mickey & Mrs. Loomis meeting over the internet in Scream 2 and Jill & Charlie in Scream 4. Amber's death is similar to Mikey Madison's character's death in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (where she plays a member of the infamous Manson family). Furthermore, Amber's burnt face is not only a reference to Freddy Krueger but the special effects team went so far as to replicate the exact prosthetic style of his gruesomely burnt ears. Before Sam grabs the knife to kill Richie she is looking for a weapon and spots an umbrella, which is a callback to the one Sid used to stab Billy. Following the release of this movie, Kevin Williamson revealed that Scream 4 was supposed to be the start of a new trilogy. He said in the 5th movie, Jill would have gone to college where Sidney was a professor and faced off with a killer who knew she'd been the killer in the previous movie, while Scream 6 was gonna answer whatever happened between Dewey and Gale. That was cancelled due to Scream 4's relatively poor box office performance. This movie ends EXACTLY like the original.
