There he gets captured by Armenians and waits for the day to be exchanged for an enemy POW.

Critics consensus

“The fifth Scream finds the franchise working harder than ever to maintain its meta edge -- and succeeding surprisingly often.”

I enjoyed it more than I expected... I laughed quite a bit.

Scream is a blast, a solid setup for more to come.

To an impressive extent, directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and their team succeed in squaring this circle, a trick they accomplish partly by turning their film into a symposium on what a new Scream ought to look like.

Scream isn’t going to blow your mind. It sticks to the exact same format and rules of all the previous movies. In fact, it’s pretty much devolved fully into Clue at this point.
