Please Note – I will be talking about Scream 5 in this post and there might be spoilers posted. If you haven’t yet watched Scream 5, you might want to skip this post.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I watched Scream 5 recently and we really enjoyed it. We haven’t watched all of the Scream movies but we have watched the first one and that was key to our enjoyment. Scream 5 assumes you’ve watched that movie (but it reminds you of the plot so there is no need to remember everything).
Scream 5 is a movie about requels and it is, ironically, a requel itself.
What is a requel?
As per Charles T. White, “My take on what a requel is when a new movie in a franchise/series is a sequel to the original movie but is also a remake at the same time.
Usually, requels ignore all the other movies in a franchise and just become a sequel to the original movie.
Also, the title of requels are usually just the original name (first name of the first movie in that series) and they bring new and legacy characters into the story.”
I LOVE requels. I didn’t know there was a name for it until Scream 5. But I have always loved them.
They give fans MUCH more content because the original is still…well…original.
They honor the past stories and the past characters. They give us updates on those characters.
Yet they modernize the franchises. There were clever treatments of technology in Scream 5 that they couldn’t do in the original Scream (phones are fraggin’ scary).
And they allow the creators to add twists and these twists are SO important to scary movies. We, viewers, don’t want to be able to predict when the baddie will jump out from the shadows.
I can’t yet envision how requels could be used in a Romance Novel series. Our books tend to be timeless. But I’m certain some writers will do this very well in the future. I look forward to reading their twists on requels!

This cyborg finds that adorable.
Raw, a K model cyborg, is one of the lucky warriors who has located his genetic match. He hears his human female’s voice over the communication lines and immediately processes she is his.

The huge, handsome male traveling to meet with her is her first target. His rough hands, firm lips, and sparkling, energy-infused eyes won’t save him from her vengeance. She has trained vigorously for this moment, and she won’t fail at her assigned task.
The cyborg will die.
Raw Desires is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
