Unfortunately, Sidney's arrival seems to bring another back to town. Ghostface has returned, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends, and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger.
While there are no openly gay characters (one gal can be read as being lesbian, but does not come out or exhibit any same-sex desires), this is an interesting film for queer folk. There is a lot of discussion in the film of the horror genre and how modern horror is 'a reversal of the originals.' What this means is, according to one character 'The only way to be assured in surviving a horror movie is to be gay.'
The same character puts this to the test when he claims to be gay to avoid being killed.
