Scream VI (2023)
Good but being overhyped by the studio
10 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I definitely missed Sidney, and Gale's explanation was cheesy writing at its best "she sends her love" lol I don't think Courtney even believed the writing in that line but at least she has good comedic timing. I really did NOT like the opener. I have longed for a great opening like the first or the great scene with Cici in Scream 2 but we have yet to get one, the tension ends too quickly in all the new films.

The opening wasn't that suspenseful and felt rushed, not very much cat and mouse with ghost face whose voice I think is the true star of the films now. Also, the whole movie is so implausible. I've never seen so many of the main characters in a movie get repeatedly stabbed so the audience gets the feeling of a kill, only for them to be alive again at the end of the movie. Make a decision. I really liked Kirby she was one of my favorite characters in this and I never really loved Scream 4, but always thought she was the best actress in that film. Also the ending was terrible and the killers cheesy. The tiktok looking kid was over acting trying to play "crazy" at the end and it was just too much. Jenna was great and I love Jasmine Savoy Brown, she's a really good actress. And the diversity is cool too, but I'm starting to think it's almost obvious how clichè it's becoming how almost every white person in the movie is the villain now a days and everyone has a boyfriend/girlfriend of color. I'm all for it when it feels natural but it just kind of feels forced, just an honest observation. Also I wish studios would stop the false advertising because there was almost NO NEW YORK in this movie, it was filmed in Montreal, Canada and all we got were green screen shots of NY in the background.
