This franchise just needs to be left alone now man. Silly silly film, in a universe where the abstract of a ‘noisy neighbour’ is non-existent
I have seen the first one in theaters, totally game changer, also the second one, then i grow up and opt-out. I thought i see this one now which made a great deal of buzz.
My God it was so dumb! Killer always got hit on the face really hard but have no scratches or marks or bruises when you see him. Constantly on every 10 minutes there he was trying to kill someone.
How on earth do people survive, they got stabbed multiple times put knives into mouths and eyes but somehow no one dies or they got up from the hospital and return to the scene!
No script no dialogues totally bad acting. The main reason i saw this was Hayden (horny leftovers from save the cheerlader save the world) but i have one big question:
Why the heck on the entire 2 hours , i do not know 2 weeks timeline movie she wore the same clothes ?????????
Everything goes wrong in this episode. They just killed the franchise !
Where is the plot seriously ? You surfed from each killer’s name of each episode, in order to give you … some fan service… but this is so poor!
And seriously, the fact that it’s happening in new york bring absolutely nothing in the directing or the screenplay, the only place in 2 hours interesting is the subway during 10min… Oh no it’s a mess!
I really don’t recommend it.
Trailer Spoiler: Ghost Face use a shotgun !! Wow they ‘ve just made a brand new movie!
Sadly the survivors from the last one are back but like 5 they are so forgettable. I don’t know or care about them. The killers are even more ridiculous than last time. With a 90 pound girl and her 80 pound brother supposedly doing the most of the kills because their father is usually seen somewhere else, and I don’t think the ghost face mask give you super strength or teleportation.
A dumb movie that thinks it's self-aware but feels like it's parodying itself. The only thing that was good about it was the beginning that was promising something else.
An exceedingly dumb piece of shit filled with unlikeable characters, laughable acting, tv level cinematography and amateurish directing. The third act denouement had me rolling in stitches, it’s remarkably idiotic. This franchise is so watered down at this point that it has become the exact thing it was once an antidote to. Just fuck off already.
2.5/10
If you're a fan of the first couple movies, don't watch this. You're going to be very disappointed..
Pros:
* Different format of the opening scene was refreshing
* The New York setting; the change of scenery was definitely a benefit
* The new Core Four from the last movie are likeable and enjoyable
* Ghostface was relentless and gave some absolutely brutal kills
* Credit for the movie trying to slightly switch up the formula a bit
Cons
* Some of the scenes were so corny / cringeworthy - the whole Tara and Chad thing, especially, had me squirming in my seat more than some of the gore
* Plot armour - stab wounds in this movie are pretty trivial, on par with getting a splinter. Something the characters are pretty much able to just dust off with ease. Most, if not all, of the main cast are fatally stabbed (some multiple times) at some point in the third act, yet are able to dodge roll, parkour/climb, perform takedowns from above, etc. You'd think they were just playing tag. And sorry, but there was no way Chad would have survived being stabbed that many times
* Kirby was underused - felt like she was just brought back so that she could be a red herring for 5 minutes towards the end
* Dumb decisions - these characters should be pros at shit this by now, but they'll be good and god damned before they learn
The series usually handles the balance between horror and comedy well, but I felt it was 50 / 50 with this entry. Not everything landed for me, and for every scene that made me laugh there was another that made me roll my eyes.
Overall though, Scream VI had me thoroughly entertained from start to finish. It was definitely one of the better entries. Looking forward to Scream VII :laughing: although, I'd be happy if they leave the legacy characters out now, unless they plan on killing them off. At this point, they just seem to be around for the sake of it, but I think the Core Four can take it from here.
If you look at Courteney Cox, this is why you don't get plastic surgery.
Jasmin Savoy is obnoxious.
They are just gonna drag this franchise out and out and out.
Why is Billy Loomis' kid latina? He was white lol
Scream Vl is simply Ghostface tripping over objects, getting smashed in the head, and breaking through locked doors. It feels like the same chase with different characters until the end, when the stupidity of the plot is fully revealed.
6 is actually alot better than 5
As someone who's only watched a brief summary of the first five this was an awesome movie with awesome twists and 4th wall breaks and everything! (appreciated the Denzel Curry track asw)
Definitely a step up from Scream V but unfortunately carries over a lot of dumb shit from that movie. The direction is awesome, the open through the bodega scene is near flawless but does fall apart by the end and loses all of it’s stakes.
Boring. Not scary. Not real NYC…
The reason the police are never anywhere you'd expect them in NYC is because the entire budget was put towards DNA testing with a 4 hour turn around.
It's about as nonsensical as a slasher can get, but whatever, I had fun. People get stabbed. Absurdity happens. You laugh, people die. A lot better and a lot worse for this series.
The real villain here is whoever did that to Courtney Cox's face
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Scream VI’:
I’m not thrilled with what they did to Gale. You remove a franchise-worth of character growth by having her write that book. Gale was the opportunistic b:asterisk_symbol:tch who grew a soul, and you back-peddle this right after Dewey’s death? Bad timing. And now, every time I watch Scream 6, that poignant ending where Gale promises to let the killers die in anonymity, and to write a book about Dewey instead, that ending will now lose its luster. This didn’t necessarily ruin the new film for me, because you can just say that “some people never change,” but it doesn’t feel right after ALL this time. Rant over.
What did I love? That opening scene showing us the burgeoning killer’s POV for the first time. Gale vs. Ghostface. That Kirby wasn’t the killer (I was very prepared to be very annoyed). And Melissa Barrera’s vastly-improved performance. Homegirl gave us PRESENCE here finally. Was very refreshing to see.
I’ll never forget watching Scream 2 and feeling that absolute shock and heartbreak when Randy was pulled into that van. Drew Barrymore’s immediate kill in the original was iconically shocking. Tatum’s death was a jaw-dropper. Dewey’s death would’ve been shocking if it weren’t so predictable. My point, especially with this installment, is that Scream is getting a little too safe. If I’m counting correctly, not counting the killers, only one person in the main cast died. One. I’m happy we get to see more of these characters, but it’s at the detriment of one of this series’ greatest strengths: shock.
Bonus Thought: I still adore this franchise. And Neve was truly missed.
Getting stabbed in this movie doesn't mean shit, they didn't even patch up Tara and she was ok to walk to home? Even Mindy and Chad?
The overacting. The Dialogue. The Script????
So Cringe.
“Someone took our all our knives :knife:!”
Is used as an explanation why three adults can’t fight of one average build person with a knife.
I bet no one even proof read the script. It’s full shit like this.
Most of the actors do a terrible job. But what the f is with Jasmin Savoy Brown. I guess this is partly the fault of the horrible script, but jeezz poster-child of overacting.
The “Meta” self referential bullshit is so overused. “The franchise” needs to die.
It didn’t work in the last movie, and it did not work this time.
If you want shivers, go, check out Ari Aster. Skip this garbage. :wastebasket:
This thing is...no words.. feels like riding a dead horse.
unwatchable.. and I am sorry cause i love Jenna Ortega.. if you like this movie literally ask yourself...
Sam's best line to Ghostface "the previous ones died, you're going to die, are you sure you want to go on? They stab people and go on as if nothing, they beat Ghostface and don't keep on beating him, justify why he does it in 6.
Just 1 movie after the soft reboot that was Scream (2022) the franchise again feels pretty weighed down by it's own legacy and perhaps in need of some fresh direction.
I don’t know how these creators pulled this off, but they are doing a great job with continuing the scream franchise. They have managed to get a lot of the old characters involved, but on the flip side, they are really doing a good job at bringing in newer and younger talent. I was so over scream back in the day when the second one came out, but the way these new ones are going, I’m looking forward to the next one. These ones also have a different feel to them, it I like it!
Uhh, I guess this movie is a parody of the original series. Some characters had insane plot armor, recovering in mere hours of severe stab wounds.
Jenna Ortega, I don't get it.
She’s like a textbook example of BPD borderline personality disorder. Loves playing the evil/dark side & then pretending it’s just an act. She really is evil & thinks it’s cute. It’s genuinely the most feminine dudes with 0 backbone that look for a dominating woman with that personality. She looks like a 5 foot, 14 year old crackhead, that’s tries waaaayyy too hard to seem like “I don’t care, I’m original” when in reality, she’s the least original, narcissistic type. She looks like 17 and 47 at the same time.
Oh, and she can't act.
No, Wednesday wasn't good either.
As overrated as Billie Eilish, basically the same thing, just with music.
Melissa Barrera needs an acting coach badly...
:heart:x5
The first is still the best. All the sequels have been basically the same, which is kinda boring.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
what a dumb movie... they are ruining the franchise producing shit like this
It's better than the last one. Mainly because Jenna Ortega does most of the co-hero work, and we don't have to try to read all the emotions from the abysmal living potato.
Lotsa nasty gore again. Lotsa tensionless attacks on characters who mean nothing. Another 'yeah' ending.
Could have been anywhere, the New York setting was basically 2 outdoor scenes.
annoyances .. the potatoes' secret boyfriend telling us 'their thing' on the stairs. once the kiss happened, we all know what was going on.
Kirby's fucking hair, and how she walked into each scene like she just got up from 10minutes of spraying at make-up.
The stabbings mostly do nothing, some get a graze and struggle (for a bit) but then walk pretty normally.
Terra walks at the end after her shoulder and stomach stabs (guess that was part of reshoots)
I'm guessing the chopped up fridge prosthetic cost a million dollars, since it's used more times than that car crash scene in every Troma movie.
The good:
The bad:
I thought they would make Sam the official Ghostface at the end, just felt like the perfect origin story. They unfortunately opted to make her a Disney princess for the moment. Seeing her against Sydney in a future installment would be awesome.
Those who didn't like the previous films in the "Scream" series won't warm up to the sixth installment either. And those who were already fatigued with the previous sequels won't be cured here. But those who had fun with the last movie will probably have as much fun with this one.
"Scream VI" is a straightforward continuation of the series. Following the trailers, one could have believed that the relocation of the plot to New York would provide many new approaches, but this is not really the case. All the elements that have made up the series so far are still present. Perhaps one of the few innovations is that Ghostface is a bit more vicious in his kills this time. The New York setting, on the other hand, is hardly used except for a really intense subway sequence.
Among the actors, the new core quartet, consisting of Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding, is particularly strong. However, I had my problems with the so-called legacy characters. Courteney Cox may have had a little too much done to her face to still be able to act effectively. Furthermore, the writers devised a really stupid twist for her character, Gale Weathers, which renders the entire ending of the fifth film absurd. Hayden Panettiere's Kirby, despite being my favorite character in the fourth film, also failed to impress me.
I'm mixed about the plot. The opening sequence is superb and plays with the established tropes of the series. The rest of the introduction is also enjoyable, and you quickly get a good overview of what the situation of each character is right now. When the action starts, it also kicks off nicely. I wouldn't call it incredibly gory, but Ghostface doesn't exactly act with restraint either. So far, so good. Unfortunately, I didn't like the last act at all. The killer reveal is one of the worst in the series for me. The final confrontation also left me feeling indifferent.
Overall, however, I am moderately pleased with the film. Especially in view of the fact that the turnaround for this sequel was very quick, I can't complain. Of course, the next part will end up on my watchlist once again.
Entertaining, but I really can't understand how is it that nobody does something smart when they have the killers knocked down. I mean, I get you don't have a killer instinct, but you can totally break those bastards' legs, just pull the leg in the opposite direction of the knee and that's it.
best scream yet I loved it it was great to see in New York where I'm from
There’s plenty of edge of your seat moments. The movie just falls apart a little when the killer is revealed. Was I think the worst acting from the killer. Well I will say the oldest actor of the killers lol.
While it’s starting to get too obvious who will survive for now on. Which makes it somewhat corny.
Henry Czerny and Dermot Mulroney should have switched roles. Dermot is a fine veteran actor but he wasn’t able to pull off most of what was expected of him. Spoiler: Let’s just say that Henry plays a better asshole without even trying.
The movie was close to be being one of the best but also the worst, at the same time. Great kills, disappointing killers. Predictable face palm, survivors. It was like “really ? they had to survive again after all that.”
Need Oprah in the next one “you survive! you survive! and you survive!”
Nice one, gotta be one of the best in the franchise
Plot was kinda bad in this one compared to 5. Seems like they were just trying to kill off as many old characters as they can since the reboot so that the new gen actors can be the main lead. Plot twists here and there trying to make us guess who ghostface is. Trying a lil too hard tho.
I did thought the part when "cute boy" saw ghostface in Quinn's room and all he could do was stand at his window trying to flag them down to be really stupid. I mean yea, he did try to call Sam and everything but when sh1t went down, no one cared to call the police and they spent a long time trying to escape but "cute boy" was just standing at the window and watching all that unfold? It never occurred to him to call the police at all? Cute.... not!!
As intense as that situation was, it's weird coz some things just don't add up. Tara and Chad were at the front door knocking, trying to get back in and ghostface could easily kill them but he never bothered to. After that incident, when Chad questioned Ethan about his whereabouts, he claimed he was at econ and had 100s of ppl as his alibi but he never even bothered to check with anyone.
Lastly, Chad was once again stabbed a million times but he survived and his sister who got stabbed in her waist/stomach acted like it was no big deal when she came to look for them. Gale also survived......that's a lil too much. At this point, I'm not surprised if Detective Bailey or one of his kid's survived yet again to seek revenge again for this vendetta. Will it ever end then? Someone who gets stabbed a million times shouldn't be surviving all the time, I'm sorry but that's just not realistic.
I'm not exactly looking forward to part 7 and don't know if i should bother watching it anymore.
I kind of liked that it was action from the get go and basically built the story in between the action. I probably should have read a synopsis of all the previous movies since it referenced them so much but I got what I wanted out of a typical Scream movie.
I definitely don’t agree with the majority here. The Scream franchise is continuing to disappoint with this entry. Silly dialogue, weak plot, lame dramatics, implausible wounds and recoveries. Reveal needed a lengthy explanation that was silly. Few decent parts but it’s kinda bad.
Surprisingly great. Even better than the requel. Great opening and kept the momentum for most of the film plus a few fan service scenes thrown in.
Chad was underutilised for most of the film. I hope they give him more purpose if they ever bring his character back.
More scares and mayhem await in Scream VI as the new cast carries on the legacy. After moving to New York to look after her sister while she attends collage, Samantha Carpenter once again finds herself and her friends being chased by a Ghostface killer. Most of the cast from the last film return, and are joined by Dermot Mulroney, Samara Weaving, and Hayden Panettiere (reprising her character from Scream 4). In a lot of ways the film’s a retread of Scream 2, but it also does a number of interesting new things; such as its innovative opening kill and carrying out attacks in public. And the kill scenes are incredibly intense and can be quite brutal (more so than in the previous films). One of the better entries in the series, Scream VI delivers some frightening thrills.
There's a good film in there, but the ultra lame characters just suck out any interest I have in 'Scream VI'.
I felt similarly about 2022's 'Scream', in that the legacy ones are solid though the newcomers just lack any sort of conviction with their performances, in my eyes anyway. Jenna Ortega is the only one I named as decent in the predecessor, however even she isn't all that in this 2023 release unfortunately.
Melissa Barrera is OK but forgettable, Dermot Mulroney overacts by chewing the heck out of the scenery and the rest of the friends circle range from boring to irritating. I don't intend to hate on them too much as I actually don't dislike them, it's just they consistently stopped me from getting into the movie.
...and that's a shame, as its other elements are quite good. The visual use of Ghostface is effective, the music plays well (on that note - big fan of Demi Lovato's end credits song, as I was for last year's film from Salem in fairness... they know how to pick 'em!) and, most importantly, the kills are actually awesome; fwiw, they help boost up my rating.
Sadly, for me, the characters are too detrimental, but also the limp reveal at the conclusion simply stopped any positive thoughts from forming in my head whilst watching this. Wish I enjoyed it.
Is this movie for real? :joy:
"I got it wrong again. Fuck this franchise!"
They keep finding ways to keep me coming back. NYC is a horror show as is so it makes complete sense why it would take place there. The kills are violent and brutal and that's all I really care about (as long as the story isn't total doodoo). They better bring Neve Campbell back next time though!
Point is stupid from start ... story but chill
"Who gives a fuck about movies!"
Scream VI is a massive improvement over the last one. Yes, it has the same structure as the other movies, and it’s nowhere near as great as the first Scream movie, but it is a solid entry in this consistent horror franchise.
Oh, and by the way, I saw this back in March, and the reason I'm reviewing this now is that I thought it would be perfect for the spooky season. The rest of this review were notes I wrote down back in March. I am just that dedicated. Has a Scream film ever come out in October time?
Anywho…
I was not keen on the last one, as it was busier re-familiarizing us with the franchise since it had been a while since we had a new entry. Not to say this movie doesn't do that, but not as much.
The opening scene for every Scream movie is always memorable, but this one is stellar. It was very unexpected and got my interest right away.
I cared about the new characters this time, and the actors had more time to shine. The Core Four, with cast members like Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Mason Gooding delivered good work. Their bond is felt and proves that they all can carry the movie without the aid of legacy characters.
Speaking of which - Courtney Cox returns as Gale, who has good reasons for her character to be in this movie but doesn’t have anything to do. She has a good scene between her and Ghostface in her New York apartment, so there is that.
Hayden Panettiere is also back as Kirby, and she serves her role in the story. It’s just great seeing Panettiere back, as I feel I have not seen her in anything for a while. The last note-worthy thing I remembered from her was the video game Until Dawn.
The scenes were intense, and Ghostface was menacing. The store scene is easily the best part of this movie and the franchise, as it shows how brutal Ghostface is, killing out in the open, using a shotgun, and not caring anymore.
It is a flawed movie with questionable scenes. The killer reveal was not the best and treads on a familiar revenge motive from the previous films.
While I liked the new setting in New York City, on the other hand, I don’t think it was used to its full potential for certain horror scenes. Maybe it was for budget reasons, but there are creative ways around it.
Even though I had a blast with the sixth film and would like to see where the series goes, they need to do something different for the seventh film, as the structure is starting to be tiring. And pay Neve Campbell, you assholes!
I appreciate what Radio Silence brought to this series, but the mystery/whodunit aspect could be better.
Also, I found it a bit laughable how many times a character can get stabbed, and if they are a crucial character, then you will be fine. If not, then it's instant death. There is a part where one of the Core Four gets stabbed around the stomach area, and no joke here, but after the final climax with police and ambulance arriving at the scene, that character shows up walking around just fine with a bandage around where they just got stabbed. Ridiculous.
Overall rating: "Not every movie needs a post-credits scene."
I loved that, maybe not the guy in my screening who waited to the end, because he said out loud, “Oh for fucks sake!” It was funny.
Was actually really high on the film until the very end; until, not only Kirbie and Gail were fine, but Chad too? Lol. Ok
Aside from this, loved how fresh it felt, still cleverly self aware but the switching up of the typical format really worked for me. Loved the Easter eggs and throwbacks - the hint at Stu being alive :eyes:. But yeah, really needed a big death, or one of the twins at least
The metro scene was really cool
Meh. Wasn't so keen on this edition. Not sure what didn't work for me but I just think maybe the rehashed storylines are getting tired. I will probably still watch Scream VII though.
Ghostface moves to New York, but regrettably, the metropolitan setting remains largely underutilized. Despite the killer becoming considerably more brutal and less goofy, the narrative took an oddly comedic turn that could be deliberate or unintentional. This shift is accentuated by some hammy performances (oh god, that cop), knives being as lethal as flowers, and extreme contrivances to take the audience by surprise at all costs.
While the attacks do offer a degree of amusement, the overall experience leaves the same lingering aftertaste of a terrible movie that even thinks to be clever.
This movie has many stupid moments like characters being stabbed multiple times and still surviving. Like Chad literally got fucked with many stabs and was able to start running around from nowhere. How? Also, instead of finishing off different killers, they just start to like not finish them off. I didn't see the first one of the reboot, but I did like a little bit of Jenna Ortegas character. A lot of things are also very hard to believe. All of that being said, the film was very entertaining and these things didn't piss me off enough to hinder my enjoyment.
At Time of Review:
Solid 6/10
Story and Characters: 5/10
Presentation: 6/10
Enjoyability: 8/10
please stop this franchise before it really starts, ITS enough now
They know how the slasher movies are and then do the dumbest decisions, even when the killer is in the floor they run
An exceedingly dumb piece of shit filled with unlikeable characters, laughable acting, tv level cinematography and amateurish directing.
It was nearly perfect.
The movie was surprisingly good until the ending when the unmasking was just ludicrous. One of the better entries in the franchise though.
Not as good as it could have been. The acting was good from some of the cast, but the script is a product of the times and has a lot of just very stupid elements to it that detracted from it rising no further than a "fair" rating.
For a series that clobbers you over the head with how "meta" it is, and tried to play around with the tropes and it explains everything to all the characters - they never seem to use their heads and do what needs to be done at the appropriate time.
Honestly, it was just OK, but my feeling is that they should have stopped at Scream 3.
In a way Scream 6 seems like an apology for the awful Scream 5. Or they just listened to the criticism and tried to work with some of it. In a way it also feels like this is the film writers and directors actually wanted to make all along, but they needed Five to set it up. Either way, it's much much better, even if it's borderline illogical, but we'll, there's a lot of stabbing, so I'm mostly fine with it.
Spoiler alert.
I still will never forgive them for the Never Campbell disrespect though. That woman is the Queen of Scream and no matter how much money she asks for, you'll give it to her.
Anyways, back to the movie.
The four survivors of the last film return and are now attending college in New York, mirroring Scream 2. I think they could've done a bit more with the overall location change but it works pretty well for what it's supposed to do, namely giving Ghostface a larger field to play on.
Melissa Barrera's Sam is still the main focus and while she was one of my main criticisms in the last movie, she works better here. Barrera is still not the best actress and falls a bit flat against her co-stars, but Sam is much better written and she does a great job in the final act.
Jenna Ortega shines again as Sam's sister Tara, making me wish again they would switch this rebooted franchise around and let her be the lead, but at least the chemistry between the sisters feels more legit this time around. I enjoyed the Meeks kids in the last film and even more so here. Mindy feels more like her own character instead of just the Randy replacement and Chad is just so damn charming (just love Mason Gooding on Love, Victor) and his romance with Tara is actually pretty sweet.
Gale returns once again and her face off with Ghostface is one of the most thrilling scenes of the franchise. Also returning is Kirby and I have never been as happy before about a recon as I am here. Sure, Scream 5 introduced the idea of Kirby having survived, but this movie got her back into the mix again and once again Hayden Panettiere shines. Just to mention it, Scream 4 is underrated and the second best in the franchise. BOOM! Mic drop!
I do enjoy the legacy characters and new core group (or core four, as the movie never lets you forget) and I'm glad they survived to face another Ghostface, but it still feels a bit like a cop out. The newly introduced characters are solely existing to be killed, be the killer(s) or in case of Sam's new toy boy, be the red herring no one believes in.
This movie has probably some of the most brutal killings in Scream history and now some of my favorite moments in the entire franchise. The opening scene was spectacular and unexpected, the supermarket massacre, Gale facing off Ghostface, the tension in the subway and the sisters fighting the killers are all brilliant.
I also admit that while I had some suspicions about the identities of the killers, the movie does a fine job of throwing the audience off the loop. I'm not sure if three killers is as innovative as they think it is, but it made for an exciting climax.
Unfortunately, with all the good comes also a lot of dumb.
First off, they didn't dodge the hilariously stupid Billy Loomis hallucinations. Thankfully they toned them down, but it's still so dumb and unnecessary. The film also sticks with the idea that Sam might have some "serial killer gene" which is stupid. They could salvage it a bit if a third movie should happen, by at least committing to the idea and let her become some kind of vigilante Ghostface going after other killers, only for Tara being forced to stop her ...or something like that. Right now it's just silly.
While I like the overall idea and conclusion, the story also toys with some smarter and more interesting ideas in the beginning. One would be the aforementioned Sam becoming a type of Ghostface herself, the other being the one delivered in the opening scene. For a few moments, after the first Ghostface takes off his mask, I was hoping we'd get a movie that reveals the killers identity to the audience but not the characters. A movie that lets us in on Ghostface's perspective, that changes the game. Imagine the thrill to know as an audience member who is behind it and then watch the characters figuring it out. That would've been a different path for a Scream movie.
Logic is also not the film's strongest part. I know, we're not trying to be too logical here, but seriously, the Woodsboro murders are famous. Sam is famous. Nobody knows that Bailey is Richie's dad? Nobody knows about his siblings? FBI Agent Kirby can't figure that one out? Bailey was a detective before his son became a killer and I'm pretty sure he didn't hide his three kids away.
Speaking of the FBI or police work in general, no one knew how all the evidence from years of Ghostface killings disappeared? They could find DNA from the original killers on the masks but not the new ones? When they mentioned that someone on the police force must be in on it it's used as a throwaway line instead of inspecting the people who are? Yeah sure.
Also, Ethan saving Mindy made not much sense. Why would he even do that?
The film is super dumb, but also super fun. I had an actual blast watching it and despite some obvious flaws, I enjoyed watching it a lot.
Fun movies to always try and pick the killer/s. Unfortunately so many dumb horror movie characters and mistakes means it doesn't score high.
Better than the previous one, but each time farther from what Scream was.
Not the best at all,also the movie not was hyped enough .I liked it tho its one of the weakest one storywise but I love the characters so whatever I eat up all at this point :D Also the murders more brutal,characters fight more back nice change.Really fun if u a fan.Also credit music is epic thanks to Mike Shinoda help! (Demi Lovato defo should stay in the genre,suits her)
Movie was great until u see who is behind the killings. Maybe even the best Scream sequel until that moment. Ghostface seemed unstoppable, raw.. the best one yet... and then.... i was to give this movie an 8 to that point
it's enjoyable but 5 was better. i did love all the easter eggs though.
I had an absolute blast with this movie. I love how everything is so cheesy and meta, and constantly making fun of the film fanbase and the tropes the movie is built around. My friend and I paused the movie multiple times to air theories and laugh as this rollercoaster pulled into the final, revelatory station. Throwing shade at Argento snobs was the icing on the cake. I unapologetically love this series, and I really hope they take the "yearly-horror-entry" mantle that we've been lacking for so long. With Saw X on the horizon, I'd love to see them both battle it out to be the October staple for the coming years. Don't overthink it, enjoy the ride and the easter eggs, and Scream 6 is a competent, fun entry into the never ending Scream franchise.

I have been a huge scream fan since the beginning. I will say this one was surprisingly very good! It has the campiness I live for (or die for?). I laughed, I yelled at the screen, I rolled my eyes, I cringed. All in all, everything I wanted from this franchise. Also my favorite character lived so I’m happy!
Can’t wait for the next one. I have already picked out who I want to be the killers, especially if it’s the last one.
Not gonna lie, It was a bit disappointing. The killers and the reasoning behind it all were blatantly obvious, and I never get the motive. Some music choices were questionable as well.
There are positives too: nice gore and fun easter eggs, amongst others. Quite an interesting opening, but the subway scene was definitely a standout.
Though extremely predictable, it managed to stay entertaining throughout.
Oh, and everyone gets stabbed just for funsies, obviously.
Better than the Best. Bestest of SCREAM, honoring the elevated horror genre to the very hilt.
I'm shocked. Another good horror (after watching Evil Dead Rise recently). Much better than the last one, which was really predictable. More blood and more action, but works quite well. It still has some of the stupid behaviors that are typical for this type of movie, and who knew that being stabbed equals a paper cut. But with a bit of suspension of disbelief, it works.
Also big thumbs up to Cortney Cox for not following the Botox trend of other older actresses, and still looking like a person, not a plastic mannequin.
With a midnight digital release, I had to jump at it immediately! After my first watch it’s somewhere around as good as the original sequel, which puts it as a top 2-3 Scream. I WILL BE watching this again in the coming days and giving a more definitive ranking. While I LOVE many aspects of this entry, there’s some noticeable complaints. Do the lovable aspects of a good slasher outweigh the cons? Likely. And I can’t wait to rewatch and eventually watch the 7th entry!
Rating: 4.5/5 - 9/10 - Highly Recommend

Greatness On A Different Level
"I Fcuking Love This Franchise"
Well another Tuesday
And the best Scream movie yet,
And after the events and
The Sadness,
shocking disappointment of what
Went down in
Scream V
I seriously wondered
If another movie was even possible
And not just possible but
Work as Well if at all
let alone be as entertaining.
verdict is in
oh boy this worked
this absolutely worked
and then some.
This Phenomenal movie
kicked ass from start to finish,
everything absolutely worked
so very very well.
I was so surprised how
Frickin Awesome this installment
actually is, I'm even more
Surprised how this installment
Is on a complete
different level than SV.
This installment was
fresh and so much fun,
i had a great time
it was
Brutal and right up in
Your face, and I absolutely
Loved it.
This is my favourite installment
of the hole franchise (to date).
Ghost-face did not give
A fcuk marching around
In public it was like
Ghost-face was in
Full Jason* mode behaviour wise.
Still managed to surprise
And shock me,
I just couldn't believe how
Awesome and entertaining
this installment
Was especially compared
To "S-V" a year prior.
This installment has jumped
In to my top 3 favourites
6,1,3.
Verdict: After decades
The Scream franchise
Still remains my all time
Favourite
Horror Franchise
They evolve and grow
And move with the times
And with current technologies,
and attitudes
Plus with the way online
Social media evolves
and grows.
This franchise
is timeless and just keeps
Turning Banger after
Banger after Banger out
And stays consistent and
More importantly stays
True to it's strengths and it's
Roots and I am Super excited
To see what's next for
"Scream 7" now that it's
Gone into production.
The stakes have never been
so high, because where in
a "mother fcuking franchise now"
GHOST-FACE WILL RETURN
SCREAM VII
(Keep em coming baby).
(Give it up for the
fcuking core 4).
I wanted to hate it, it’s not THAT bad though, new setting was nice. For me part of the magic of scream has always been the surviving main cast has always returned. While I appreciate them mentioning Sidney being absent, they way they did hurt her legacy and the the franchise in addition to making it awkward should she come back. That paired with the heartbreaking loss of Dewey in the previous film sucked all but a glimmer of magic keep alive by Gale out of the film.
I said I wouldn’t pay to see this and I didn’t but I think next time I won’t even allow someone else to foot the bill for me to see it. While it was a good movie and give the actors their dues, it just didn’t feel like a scream movie if felt much like when other horror franchises pull from the second string stars to keep a franchise alive. Unless they bring back Neve I’m out even if Courtney returns, let’s face it after this one she’s not going to have much mileage left
Next time keep negotiations going find a compromise give the woman her dues she is scream.
Still fun after all these years. Saw it in 3d which was unnecessary, but hadn't seen a horror movie in 3d in ages. Hated the strobing on the subway but otherwise had a great time w a franchise I've been overrating as a fanboy for 25 yrs. 7.7
Well that wasn’t amazing but I enjoyed it and it was a decent slasher and the action was entertaining and by far better than most of the franchise and lot more darker and gory and that’s what I enjoyed about it the most and how a slasher should be, it had it’s normal similar predictable plot like the rest before it but did give that unexpected and at moments it wasn’t your normal scream film also Hayden’s character, pointless bringing her back into the franchise, was cheap and I feel they should end the franchise there.
Definitely didn’t hate this but just not sure it added anything to the franchise. Scream II will always be my master of meta though :heart::knife:
Loved this one! Much better than 5. I hope they make more movies but I think once they run out of (original) ideas it goes downhill fast. I feel like after this one there isn't much left they can think of
Horror should always be bloody as hell. Definitely the best movie in the franchise. :clap_tone1:
Equal parts scary and cheesy. Better than other movies of this genre that I've seen in the past few years (Halloween Kills 2021 comes to mind).
Definitely better than the last one, it was decent, but i don't see why critics are praising this movie, its just average, still have cringe moments.
All the goods and the bads of scream v are in this one. Some freshness with the nyc setting, the great action scenes, but some rotten with the billy ghost again, impossible survivals and the same kind of villains. I guess the number VI may not take some risks and aim at something different.
"Beheadings!"
Most important thing I believe about Scream VI for me was that my girlfriend who never has seen any of these movies enjoyed it. So that is a job well done Scream VI.
Anyway, New York setting is lovely, Core Four being back is great, meta stuff, twists! the Ghostface shrine! Brutal, brutal stabbing. I hope that Sam Carpenter being Ghostface will be the next twist, the subway scene was brilliant, the cold open was fun, Kirby as an FBI agent, at least she knows what the best installment in the Friday the 13th franchise is! Another wrong prediction and missing the monologue Mindy? Samara Weaving! They always come back at the end!
Yes, Scream VI is still fun and it is really climbing to the top of my favorite movie franchises. And hearing our lovely community being mentioned by name, Letterboxd, was something I never expected. This might be my second account but after spending 10 years over here, it is fun for the site being mentioned in a movie. Great stuff.
Yes, this cinema visit was a fun one! If you like Scream, go see this one and I bet you'll have loads of fun!
The shrine is impressive and the scene in the subway is also not bad. But all this bloody mess, not so deadly surprising. ;)
like the last one it was okay until the end then the explanation of the killer was lame and it devolved into the usual girl power shit.
Ok, good for an exciting evening. But not as good as the movies at the beginning. I also think Scream 5 has been better. The story is getting weird more and more. But good for an entertaining evening.

Damn, this was really bad. I miss the first ones.
It's like they don't know how to do good movies this days anymore.
And the whites are the bad guys and the blacks are the good ones,like in most recent movies. It's just ridiculous at this point all this woke, white discrimination thing.
