Scream VI

Never thought I'd see another Scream movie after Wes Craven's passing, but here we are with the second film since and I gotta say, it was better when Wes was alive. Now, I'm not saying this isn't a competent film. It very much is and is enjoyable through most of the runtime, dodgy acting aside, which was also a problem in number 5. But this new team can't come up with a good twist to save their lives. Saw the ending coming a mile away, same as the last one, and when it hits, you can't help but to feel let down. The logic that you have to throw out the window to believe this one is, well, illogical. I will say that the film is better than the previous one. There is no unimaginable deaths, like a 17 year old, 5 foot tall, skinny high school girl lifting a man twice her size. Thank goodness for that, because that is still hard to swallow for me. All the puzzle pieces fall into place quite nicely here, it's just fairly unbelieveable that the new crew, including old crew member, now FBI agent Kirby, had zero info on the culprits and had no idea about their intertwined past with the new crew. Kinda ridiculous. Other than that, it was a decent entry in what I hope is a dying franchise. This film just proved to me that there is not a whole lot left to do with the story and they are starting to slip when it comes to motives for their plotline. That and no Sydney Prescott is kind of a deal breaker. Even a cameo would've been nice, but we got nothing.

2.5 butcher knives out of 5.

I honestly have to say that I loved this film ! The main thing that I loved is the whole storyline , it was pretty rich . Every scene adds perfectly one to the other . All the characters are super charismatic. Ghostface is the scariest one until date . I loved how the tension is built on every single attack ! The k*ills are super creative and this is one of those films in the franchise that surprise you every second . I feel like everything that was wrong with scream 5 , was covered with scream 6. The opening kill was extremely creative !! Overall I hope this movie gets a lot of love cause it deserves. A perfect slasher.

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.

After checking the cast of Scream 6 I went to the movies with zero expectations. However, it was worse than expected.

I felt like I was watching a sequel of Scary Movie. Apparently these directors managed to turn Scream into a nonsense joke (the audience laughed during the entire movie).

The cast was terrible. Except for Courteney Cox, everybody deserved to be stabbed numerous times from the very beginning.

The plot was tailored made for teens with no understanding of the horror/suspense genre and was not serious at all. No content, no emotions.

Lastly, I'm happy for Neve Campbell because she was not involved in this awful project.

I went to the theater, because I had read the reviews here and they really succeeded to fool me.

I believe that everything this movie needed to become great was only a good ending. Unfortunately, the ending twist was poorly written and as a result of that nothing made any sense throughout the movie. We are all very aware that nothing can top the original, but at least they needed to try a lot better. I won't spoil anything, just think about the ending if it makes any sense to you, as for me it creates plenty of plot holes and I expected something more satisfying instead of what we got.

There is more action this time and the scene with Gale in her apartment was decent. She remainded me of Sarah Connor and Ripley.

Lastly, I don't know why, but this time every character feels like a child of Chuck Norris, or the The Terminator from the first movie when Kyle Reese explained to Sarah that he will not stop ever, until she is dead. Everybody is stabbed, deadly wounded, shot, but no.. the plot compels them to stay alive no matter what.
