Scream VI

I hated it. And it makes me so so sad to see a franchise that I love dearly being connected to a sequel like this. I loved the change of setting-that was a definite plus. The different intro was promising. Sidney's presence not being in the film is almost its own ghostly metaphorical character. Sidney is Scream, and her absence is painful to witness, so much so that you might as well not call this a Scream film. I hated the reveal as well, just a rehashed motive reminiscent of the motive in Scream 2. I LOVE Scream 2, it's my favorite film in the entire franchise, and Mrs Loomis is the best reveal/most underrated killer out of them all, but for the directors to talk about subverting expectations, they did the exact opposite regarding this film's motive. It does feel a bit too long, and I never thought I'd say a longer Scream movie would be a negative. The chase scene/call with Gale was great, though not as epic as the one in Scream 2. Much of the dialogue was cringey, including Gale saying that Sidney "deserves her happy ending." Really?! They made Gale say the most annoying comment used by fans online about whether Sidney should or shouldn't be involved? Ugh. Kirby, who's a character I've never cared for, was so underutilized (she should've been the killer/no survivor has ever been that, and it would've been a way to turn everything on its axis). These directors had the opportunity to create something fresh & great here, but failed.

The characters are allll so awful. Especially the girl friend of Tara who's accusing everyone of being the suspect. I like Jenna ortega in general and I think she should've rejected this movie. Just do something else Jenna. And Sam omg I couldn't stand her in scream 5, and in this one I really wanted to strangle her or something. They got Dermot Mulroney probably to keep it interesting but the other actors/actresses acting ughh it's soooo bad I couldn't stand it. It makes me want to do a rewatch of earlier movies of scream. You know, when the movies are still good and the characters are actually endearing. Can we just stop making sequels of the classic with uninteresting characters. Just stop it. It's enough. Don't butcher the classics I'm begging u! First they killed off Dewey and now they pushing all these characters into our faces. Just stop it already. Just make another movies with different titles and different storylines!

I know its not Oscar worthy.

But if you expect This movie to be different from the other 5. You will be disappointed.

I dont get way peopel see This movie if They dont like the other.

Make no sence to me. And then wright how bad it is.

Sorry if my writing sucks. I am Norwegian with dyslexia. I wanted to wright realy short, but i have to wright Like 600 Words or something.

I was 14 years old when i saw the first one. I loved it. It was new and not like anny other horror movie at the time.

So for me This is nostalgia but also entertainment.

So i can absolutely recommend This one. If you like the other films and take it for What it is.

It over does it on the nostalgia and occasionally frustratingly undermines it own stakes but that can't stop Scream VI from being a really good sequel that's got a killer opening, a truly brutal Ghostface and a constant stream of great set pieces unfolding at a break neck pace.

It doesn't feel that meta, especially in comparison to its predecessor but one of Scream VI's greatest strengths is truly doubling down on the whodunit/r rated Scooby Doo vibe that the series has and is always at its best at when embraced.

The core four (Barrera, Ortega, Gooding and Savoy Brown) are great, their familial bonds and friendship is so believable and their overall likeability makes them so fun to watch, proving they can definitely carry a film without the need to rely on legacy characters.

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett had a real knack for set pieces in the last one and they've only gotten better this time around. Each set piece is cleverly set up, inventive and unbearably tense. Particular highlights include a unnerving subway journey and early liquor store shootout.

This movies getting ancient, pre historic. Predictability is like a light house at dark.

Same old same old thing. The GF killer is completely unstoppable terminator and butchering side characters left and right until the final act and whenever fights against main characters, they are like fragile little girls.

Also it started to insult audience intelligence. So every one shocked main female character pushed another girl at the street, but every one is ok that she teased a male at the nuts for no reason. That was insulting even for a female like me. Stop this toxic females privileges. It gives us really bad images and backlashes will be hard to measure one day.

Another one is instead of calling cops, it is ok to drive half to city to save your friend.

The examples are keep going.

So called twist won't be really a twist, just a minor adjustment.

The actors are really bad enough for you to root for the killers to kill these annoying university students.

So writing bad, actors bad. Movie is bad. I cant understand why it has high rates but hey thats the crazy times we live in.
