"No one is safe". While the movie did sustain this quote (they are in danger the whole movie), I think they should have had at least let one of the core four die or at least be severely/permanently injured to show more of an impact (though we don't know what state poor Chad is in, but he did walk off V pretty well). Having all characters that were in Scream V survive while basically every new character dying was a bit jarring to me (much like Scream 3 & 4), as both the girlfriend dies and spoiler... all 3 ghostfaces characters were introduced and killed in this movie. Im kinda of sad they introduced the idea of sparing a killer because it could have started a fun trend in a nod to Stu (it also could have been great character work to have the father live on, as his actions lead to the death of all of his children and making him live with that would be worse then any misery the sisters could have given him). BTW Sam's boyfriend is the only new character that is left standing in this movie. That aside its a great movie, and I can't wait to see what they do in the future.
@@charmer129 I agree. People were upset when she wasn’t coming back for 6 but honestly it was a good move. The franchise needed to move on from her. 5&6 are great. 6 being better id say at least. I wonder if they’ll bring her back for 7. Fingers crossed for Stu
My only complaint about the commentary and reactions to 6 is that people suggest Tony doesn't count as a "real" ghostface. I think the scariest part of the opening, and maybe it's a build up to the "cult" motive we'll eventually see, is that there were two sets of ghosteface killers planning a killing spree at the same exact time independent of each other. You pair that with Sam being recognizable and hated when seen on the streets, it's just very scary because it means even at the conclusion of the film, the odds seem high that more ghostfaces will be popping up in a matter of time.
For me jason (tony) count as a ghostface. I'm more in doubt about greg that didn't kill anyone (one of my friends count him as a ghostface too because he was planning a killing spree anyway)
@@taz9863 agreed. They actually were planning to finish Richie's movie, so they do count as real Ghostfaces, so there were technically 5 Ghostfaces in this movie, one of them actually not being shown wearing the costume and instead is chopped to pieces and shoved into a refrigerator for a jump scare scene.
Something I also want to add here in Scream 6 is that in the case of Anika, she felt more than just canon fodder. More than just another body count for Ghostface to put on his list. You really felt for her and you really wanted to root for her survival.
Despite Jason only having 1 kill and having only like 6 minutes of Screen Time, he is underrated. He had a pretty brutal kill, he was able to set up a date with his victim and lure her outside, and he was planning to kill Sam & Tara, and the way he described killing Laura was eerie and kinda disturbing since I know lots of killers use that terminology, that their victims are animals. Also, my memory may be mistaken but I thought I heard Jason mention on the phone that they were finishing Ritchie’s film, so I had guessed that him and Greg were friends with Ritchie and that’s how Det. Bailey found out they were planning to kill Sam & Tara
Him being named Jason makes it seem like he might be a throw-away character and this is the end of him, but I would like to see them explore of his story. I think if they end up ever going with the "cult" of killers route, there will be a lot of young guys who might idolize or sympathize with Jason, viewing him as a victim because he didn't get to complete his mission or whatever. Very scary stuff.
I think it's the most brutal Scream movie like man. The kills are harsh and brutal. Anika's death, I had to look away from the screen from seeing that. Scream 6 had everything from saying, "Hey, we're in a franchise. Legacy characters don't matter anymore" to "Yeah, we control the narrative. Thank you, internet." It's definitely Ghostface Takes Manhattan. Look out Jason.
Absolutely love this franchise, the original is my 2nd favorite horror film. S6 is currently my 3rd favorite behind S1 & S2. Loving this core four squad now, loved the brutality and suspense of this sequel. Cannot wait for the 7th chapter
I found the ending to be a bit too ridiculous (not that the franchise ever wasn't) and felt like a parody of a parody to me but this was a really interesting movie and the directors have real talent. The Still Alive song is really catchy too.
Scream 4 deserves what it gets. That movie was lame. All those deleted scenes they had actually makes the movie a lot better especially the ending where Sid is in the hospital and Gale and Dewey are there with her. But the intro and lighting, OH GOD THE LIGHTING, the lack of character development, last minute family additions like Maureen having a sister who we never heard about, and just the abrupt ending is all just not fleshed out or handled good.
Scream 4 is my favourite sequel. It balances horror and comedy perfectly and Jill is one of the best ghostfaces. Her monologue cracks me up every time.
I loved the reveal and the fact that Terra also seemed to get satisfaction out of killing Ethan. I love how they repackaged the killer instinct with Tara and Sam and used them for defense instead of murder.
What I love about this channel is that it takes movies that I love for one reason(likely just monkey brain love everything) but the way you go deeper and explain the movie for all it is makes me love it more.
I so appreciated your take on the Scream franchise. It is my favorite horror franchise and for the very reasons you talked about. I was so appreciative of Radio Silence and where they went with Scream VI, particularly with character development.
Scream 6 totally blew me away. I wasnt sure at first following Neve's departure but when the first teaser hit, it gave me hope. Seen the movie and it's a masterpiece. Best Scream movie ever made along with Scream 3 and 1. This series has a bright future as it no longer needs Sidney for the story going forward
Agreed! I was impressed with how they handled Sidney’s departure. It really helped the new crew come into their own. Excellent film. Glad you enjoyed it too!
@@tobydeaux i think it was a little weak considering that Ghostface here were shown to be very daunting, but then all of a sudden the mask comes off and now they're weak.
@@littlebigbunnyrabbit9520 isnt it always kind of like that though? soon as the killer takes off the ghost face mask and costume they suddenly became a lot weaker. its like the costume gives them superpowers.
You captured how I feel about the overly critical and nitpicky nature of a lot of movie fans. The sheer unwillingness to just enjoy sequels and later movies in franchises due to clinging to how the originals were, it’s so baffling to me sometimes
I'm still in shock at the lack of views this channel gets despite the high quality and production values of these videos. I can't say I agree with all of your takes but everything you put out is very well made!
I like the major setpeices, the Bodega, the ladder alley, the subway, even the theater museum. But when six targets survive their attacks in the end, I feel like there aren't meaningful stakes.
Yeah, the subway scene would've been amazing if someone actually bit the dust there. Reason why the apartment scene was my favorite scene is because of how terrifying it was and how a few people actually got hurt and killed there.
At first, I thought Mindy and Chad were both going to die...but I definitely think Gail should have but I can understand the theme they were going for but I feel like they'll probably kill her off in the next one.
I think the way to make this work would be to have Stu and others come back and actually kill Gale, Sidney, and/or Sam, and others, as long as 3 has a higher body count, and having a kinda idea that since these others are just imitating they aren’t as effective, copycats don’t get it done like the OG
It’s so crazy. They’re doing what David Gordon Green tried to do this but failed with Halloween (Kills and Ends are nowhere near the 2018 film). It still feels like a classic and not just a glorified fan film! I love this for us all. Even if Scream 7 sucks. We still got 6 ( S I X ! ) good films! (Even Scream 3 is fun and is no way as bad as: Halloween Res, ANOES Freddy’s Dead, or Jason Goes to Hell).
I really enjoyed 6 ... except for a giant plot hole. *spoiler* How the hell did the Ghostface killer expert writer and investigative journalist, Gale Weathers, FBI agent Kirby, and the entire NYPD not know who Richie's dad and siblings were?!? WTF?! Maybe if it was his uncle and cousins but c'mon. His son murdered a bunch of people but the dad wasn't questioned or interviewed? How? I'm actually happy I guessed him as the killer, but still, make it make sense.
I just couldn't buy the killers' motivation. Laurie Metcalf killed it as Mrs. Loomis. I didn't feel such stellar performance from Dermot Mulroney's Bailey. It felt like a weak performance overall.
I agree! And all of their performances were too over the top. Not like acceptable Stu over the top. I still really enjoyed it, flaws and all. It’s probably my favorite sequel, jumping up above 4. Tho 4 had a better Ghostface because Jill was something different. Really subverted the expectations for the final girl.
Lol Metcalf was hammy as shite... cant buy the motivation? If the familys already slipped on a banana peel, which clearly they are... not sure what there is to buy that theyd try to kill the ones they deem responsible for killing their sibling. Mrs Loomis was an overrated reveal... the wonder of most of the Scream films is the idea that you can piece together whats going on and/or why... its impossible to figure out its Mrs Loomis which makes for a terrible mystery.
Like most horror fans I try to put myself in these situations mentally and in all the previous movies, I felt like I could just straight up take ghost face in a fight. This time, I felt like this version was so much more intense, menacing, and capable. Of course I'd probably have died not realizing there was more than one... * Faint Wilhelm scream in the distance. You heard it didn't you?
You mentioned something about richie becoming a psychopath... Psychopathy is something that you are born with. I believe the correct term you're looking for is sociopath. Sociopathy is something that is learned behavior. No one becomes a psychopath, you are either born one or you are not. You can, however, become a sociopath.
Scream 2022 was awesome! Scream 6 to me was a f*cking masterpiece! Action packed, brutal kills and the scariest Ghostface since the original! The Spyglass guys got my upmost respect for what they carried on! Wes would be proud!
Can we also talk about how they subverted expectations by not killing ANY of the returning cast. I think that’s a great subversion that’s not talked about enough bc I’m sure everyone expected at least 2/3 of the returning cast to bite it.
lol they killed them with multiples stabs or deadly blows that in the end didn't kill them because they were too much scared to lose them for the sequel. Gale, chad, Mindy and Kirby should all be gone by the end of the movie. Especially Chad.
Honestly could be good to show permanent damage with Chad, I can only imagine seeing a scene showing all of the scars he's had because of his relation to Tara. Could make for great character work, as she could hold regret for putting him through all of this while he is completely oblivious to it all.
Idgaf chad shoulda died homie got stabbed like 30 times plus like 10 times I loved the movie but the end was kinda iffy for me w some of the decisions and kills
It's crazy how the Scream franchise has kept up it's quality till now. Most horror franchises don't even have a sequel that's as good as the og yet Scream, other than 3, has been putting out bangers.
There are no bad Scream movies, just some worse or better than others. I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of this film. The last act here is the worst in the series. I successfully predicted 1 Ghostface minutes into watching it, and the plot armor was very abundant, too. The opening and the kills were great, though.
Yeah I agree with you. I don’t think that there is a single bad Scream film. That being said, I thought Scream 6 was the weakest film in the franchise.
I felt so little tension and genuine fear throughout Scream 6 that I think I'm done with the franchise now. Getting stabbed by Ghostface means nothing as you'll be back running around like normal in the next scene. Pinning the words "franchise" and "legacy" onto the same monologues Randy had in 2 & 3 does not make this film meta, genuinely insightful or even very interesting. I liked the bodega shootout and alleyway/ladder scenes and that was it, I found the subway scenes boring and tedious tbh. Gail Weathers deserved much better than this film.
Scream 6 is literally scream 2 with the detective being the obvious killer immediately after daughter died cause he stopped crying like within the same scene. Also the motivation is scream 2 and taking place on a stage.
So the perfect Scream sequel is a sequel that does the exact same thing every other Scream sequel did, was essentially a rehash of part 2, and one that you can predict which characters live and die right at the beginning? Weird but to each their own lol.
The last 3 movies have been great. Alongside the original SCREAM I think I am a very happy fan. I own the original in VHS I mean… watching the last two movies have really reminded me of why I became obsessed with this franchise.
Even tho I loughed at most of the first scream and couldn't watch another, it seemed like parody of horror movies however as I grew I came to appreciate it more when people i know who can't handle horror and gore can actually watch scream .so it's like the middle ground between horror and scoopy doo cartoon.
I feel like the three killer idea was cool but their motive was just lacking like if they were really only after Sam and the people who killed Richie then why kill all those people in the bodega💀
They were in the way, someone said “and whoever gets in my way” the first two dudes got in his way and the owner had a gun, idk, the dad was feeding into richies delusions for awhile, Ethan wanted Daddy’s approval, and Quinn, im not sure really, I got a Jill vibe from her, fame maybe, need to watch it again just got outta the theater
Scream IV really made me fall in love with the series again, like, i can't wait for them to make more movies! The only thing that i just hate since scream (2022) is Sam having these visions of Billy, i can't help but roll my eyes every time that it happens, besides that, i love it so much! The violence and the deaths feel more serious and i actually felt the impact of them much more than in the original trilogy, i just love the characters and mainly the core four so much! It's definitely in the first place with Scream 4 for me, followed by the original Scream and then Scream (2022).
I saw Scream 6 on a whim without having seen any of the previous entries in the series and absolutely loved it! Went back and watched all the others and loved them too!
I still think its a valid motive so im good with that. The last movie Richie and Amber had basically no motive and not like they are psycho like Mickey or Stu. They were just angry fans. This movie was leagues better.
@@sharkquisha3407 I was thinking maybe a cooler motive for the killer's would have been that they are tired that past killers and victims being glorified in movies as just nothing more. With people/media these days being more obsessed with the serial killers than acknowledging the victims with some respect. Idk maybe it's a wild motive but I think it would have been a cool one lol🤔
@@angelq9413 nevermind. I just rewatched Scream 5. I change my mind on the motive, while its not the best motive it still makes sense even if it feels contrived. Richie and Amber were undiagnosed psychopaths with an obsession with horror and Stab and used it as an outlet for their sick fantasies and thats when they got the idea to make a movie of killing their "friends" so they can make a better Stab movie than the real ones and planned to get away with it with their movie.
Are you literally insane. S6 was useless. We all knew none of the Core 4 (chosen for "diversity") would die. We all knew Kirby wasn't a killer. That left EXACTLY 3 possibilities. Bingo! The Core 4 are not actors, they are just random people. Scream 1 somehow assembled a group of actors that actually had a personality. No one will be watching S5 or S6 a few years from now.
Anyone understood what the Deal was with the opening Copycat Killers, Jason and His Roommate; like, they were Always Supposed to be Part of the Final Group of Ghostfaces (with Richie's Fam)!? If not, then How did Richie's Folks Find them then!?
Wasnt that the point? That its like the second sequel, for me it makes sense there a vengeful parent. Still the ending was kinda lackluster, too many people with guns not using them
I love these movies so much. Every time a new one comes out, I am both excited about it and dreading it. I was hesitant to see the sixth film because of how the third one was a bit of a let down, but I'm so glad I decided to see it. It really elevated the fifth one and actually really gives me hope for the seventh. And I'm glad I get to experience the Scream rabbit hole in adulthood.
I agree Scream VI is a perfect sequel! It's probably the most entertaining in the franchise and one that I'd go back to. This was also the first Scream movie I saw in theaters. I couldn't see the 5th one because my cinemas closed because of the omicron. It sucks because 5cream came out on my birthday. I understand if people didn't like the killers in this one but it didn't ruin the movie for me. And I know some people are annoyed with the Jenna Ortega hype especially after Wednesday. I've seen Letterboxd reviews with 5-star ratings only talking about how much they love Jenna Ortega and not mention other aspects of Scream VI. Yes, Jenna Ortega is the best part of this film as well as the 5th one but there are other things to love about it.
I love how Gale told Ghostface to hold on, hanged up and did *69 on him. Before she does you hear ghostface on the phone go "Wait, what?" lol It became a Scary Movie cross over for a moment.
Scream is one of my favorite horror franchises. It is extremely fun and has new ideas every movie. It reminds me of mission impossible. That franchise was failing after the third movie but came back and reinvented itself. Unlike every Disney property😢
I saw it this weekend. Much like all the movies but 3, it exceeded expectations. I don’t know how they keep doing it. These movies have their flaws. I’m not buying Quinn throwing a big ass dude throw a window. I hate that everyone is getting stabbed and surviving. Not a fan of fake out death. Still it was entertaining, tense, and creative. It was good.
Perfect .. people getting stabbed 35 times and living .. you might be able to get away with that shit with one person ..but not the whole cast ..you got a 18 year old girl throwing a grown ass man around like a ragdoll ..
"This movie is unrealistic!! I want an old man who had a TV fall in his head, and has been in prison for 25 years to come back and kill people, its the only way to make it good now" q
Excellent deep dive, it's my 2nd favourite in the franchise after Scream 4 despite some frustrating moments like Chad surviving THAT attack (likeable character though so I'm glad he survived but come on) and Mindy surviving being completely gutted, Detective Bailey just allowing Sam to run at him when he has enough time to unload an entire clip into her, Gale choosing to leave the safety of her gun cabinet when she has the perfect vantage point with a loaded gun pointed at the only way in or out but its good moments are really damn good - the opening mask reveal to throw the audience off, the return of Kirby who I have always felt since Scream 4 could potentially carry the franchise if they ever decided to make Sidney one of the opening girls, Sam temporarily embracing her father's murderous side in order to turn the tables on the attackers (great use of "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me" feeling earned) and some great set pieces including the ladder sequence, the subway sequence (very effective and very Wes Craven) and the refreshing subversion of audience expectations when usually in a Scream movie, the attacker will always disappear if a group of people suddenly come together, especially in a public place so to see a Ghostface who isn't deterred at all by following his targets into a relatively busy convenience store was a big "holy s***" moment!
I liked this movie just wish they did a better job of hiding who the killers where. Based on the there own rules that they laid out on the bench it could have only been them. Only part I didn't figure out 75% of the way though the movie was how they where related.
I think that if they do Scream 7 they should have Ghostface finally win at the end (except one who miraculously survives but he manages to kill everyone else) because it would be another huge change similar to what they did with 3 killers in this movie. This would shock audiences.
Nah, there needs to be some surviving OGs for the movie to continue. Maybe if the idea is to let ghostface "win", instead the opening kill is Tara and she actually dies. Then the movie turns into Sam taking on the ghostface mask in order to find who killed Tara and get revenge.
@1bwash I feel like Jenna Ortega is roo big a name to kill off in your opening sequence. Sure, they did that with Drew Barrymore, but she wasn't an established character in the movie yet. I feel like in this one they should've killed Gale & Kirby off. One of the twins in the next one but I do love the Core Four they're going with for 7
@@DroMeetsPhoto I say kill Jenna's character solely because just from the press tour, she really doesn't seem to be into the movie at all and she might be at the point where she says she's done 3 movies and that's enough. If that ends up being the case, the best use for her would be to kill her for shock factor and use it to fuel Sam/Melissa because on the other hand, that actress seems to be in love with the role.
@1bwash that's a good point. I haven't paid any mind to the press tour so I had no idea Jenna seemed over it. I can get behind that if they do it well, which I have faith they would bc they haven't disappointed thus far. I also say kill one of the twins even tho I personally love their character's. Glad they survived but let's give 7 some further stakes. If they keep the twins then kill Gale/or Kirby. We'll also have to see if they bring Neve back into the fray
This was a great review and made me think of things I didn't think of with this movie. I practically rank Scream VI either 2nd to the original or tied for #1. Then Scream 5, 4, 2 and 3
Scream vI ISN'T the best scream sequel. It's THE WORST. It's scream 2 but shittier. Scream vi even violated scream 5 rules Amber said "we had to kill Dewey do our movie had fucking stakes" and yet these characters in scream 6 were stabbed 30 times and they all lived and nothing was scary. It was bullshit
I agree with your analysis 100%. In my opinion, Scream 6 is the best sequel yet. I did not miss Sydney at all, I was glad she wasn't there, it opens the franchise up to move forward. Not gonna lie though, I did miss Dewey. Can't wait to see what they do next!
Scream 6 could've been the best sequel for me if the 3rd act wasn't a rehash of Scream 2, some illogical writing behind the killer reveal (No one knew Richie's family esp Gale who wrote a book based on the events of 5 or Kirby who is a FBI agent who takes interest in Ghostface killings and Detective Bailey passing a background check when transferring to the NYPD even tho he changed his name and is the father of a killer, and plot armor for the main characters. Scream 6 is still a solid movie but Scream 2 imo is the best sequel. My ranking of the Scream Franchise: 2>1>5>4>3>6
I totally agree about the toxic fandom type thing, for me it’s ok to not like a movie or something, but to do what toxic fandom has been known to do is no. It’s because some make their decisions a fact rather than an opinion, I always state it’s my opinion only. And loved scream 6
Come on now, opening scene very good, middle of the movie ok, last 3rd was absolute garbage, obvious killers and motives, people surviving unsurvivable injuries, plot holes everywhere… shame because as I said the beginning really was good
I liked scream 6 too.. but I personally think 3 killers is too much for a frequent thing.. I still prefer Scream 5 than this. The opening of Scream 6 was also fresh.. (SPOILER) but at the ending when Detective Bailey runs towards Samantha holding the gun was just stupid. Scream 2 is still the best Scream sequel in my opinion, not saying this was bad, i liked it for what it was. Could have been done better though.. The Franchise/Mindy scene should have been done like Scream 2 was done when Randy/Mindy and Dewey/Kirby where talking alone.. it would have been more sutle..
I've only seen Scream 1 & 5. I've seen Scream 1 so many times and was always very mixed onnit but ober the years I've grown to love it. The rest if the movies seem pretty nad tbh and in watching Scream 6 I was insanely surprised at hoe perfect it was. Scream VI looks amazing and I'm excited to see it. It reminds me of how all the Saw movies are pretty meh except for the original and maybe the 2nd movie.
I just realized they never introduced richie's mom so there's a possibility she could be one of the next ghostface. Would be kinda lazy tho I hope they don't do that lol
I don’t know if anyone is gonna read this but this dude doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It just sounds like a whole bunch of BS. When he said that even Tara and Sam could die, they legit can’t and wouldn’t. Why in the world would they kill off the two main characters and especially Jenna Ortega’s character after all of the game she is getting right now. You guys should go watch Zack Cherry’s review of the movie. He is a good fan of the Scream franchise but he is humble and speaks good of both sides. He knows what he’s talking about 💀😂
I watched Scream VI three times, most recently about an hour ago. I love all of these movies. I’d say this film falls in the bottom half for me, not because it’s bad but because the others are so stellar. Scream 4 is by far my least favorite. Ranking-Scream 2, Scream, Scream 5, Scream 6, Scream 3, Scream 4. 4 just wasn’t as good in the opening and the middle for me. Scream 3 has greatly grown on me over the years. It’s Sidney’s ultimate send off and another reason why I’m not a big fan of 4. I will say this though/-I love how 4 has that really cool 2-part ending.
Scream 6 subverted my expectations by telling me that anyone can die and then killing almost no one. By being self-aware but never mentioning how characters constantly walk off crazy wounds. By never further exploring the elements of Sam being scapegoated for the ghostface kills or whether she herself has a killer personality.
I liked your video and I have to say, Scream made awesome changes, but sometimes we do have bad ones, that don't make sense for the character, like Luke, or at least, to make such a drastic change, it has to be stablished in a way, like Scream did so well! But the rage for the father is not an excuse, like, it was 20/30 years ago for him, maybe if he was just a failed Jedi but didn't try to kill his nephew, because he always tries to see good in people, then he could be at the same position, but not with such a drastic change of heart. I'm happy with good changes, but just because we need change, it doesn't mean I'll like a bad one. But great video! Our analysis need to be less passionate and more respectful like this! Obs.: An example for how I feel about Luke is if Sidney was going to be the next ghostface, at least for me they would need a GREAT excuse for her turning it or it would be a bad change of character
Great commentary. I agree about fans that want things to stay the same. Like, if you are so attached to the original, just rewatch it, or reread it, or read the manga Etc.
The ONE thing I wish they changed is they should have killed someone. Maybe they let everyone survive intentionally because 5 was all about killing someone so the movie would have stakes… chad surviving was a little too much for me. Chad or Mindy really needed to die… Even Kirby could have been an interesting kill, although I’m glad she can still return in the future. That said it’s genuinely one of the best.
Thanks for defending this movie. I completely agree with what you said and I hate how much hate there is on the internet. I wish we could just like stuff. Also thank you so much for defending the Last Jedi. I think it was a great movie and is hated on an insane amount that really isn’t deserved.
SCREAM VI il another level, so much powerfull, action, investigate. And a new story is born since the 2022, wich is really cool to not put down or leave the original 1996. This is a new era, LOVE IT. Hope they will made a "return to the original" movie with the story of the mom of Sidney, a story before ghostface was born! They can make another mask killer! IT WILL BE SICK!
Is not the best sequel I'm sorry, is a good film is solid but it could have been great, I felt nothing on the ghostface reveal and the amount of fake out deaths really makes you wonder if everyone is suddenly invincible. I liked everything else about it. Great open and I think the movie did a great job with Sam, in the last film I really didn't trust her as a final girl, but Sam in this film is amazing. Is a good scream film but it could have been better. Kirby could have been used better as well (hopefully in the next one)
To be fair they did change the motive because of Neve's absence, and while I do agree that the invincibility of characters and the amount of survivors are a lil too much, I think the positives outweigh the negatives for me.
It’s my third favorite of the movies, I love the first 2 the most, and I always liked 3 more than 4&5 and I didn’t like 5 that much even though it wasn’t exactly bad, but I’ve changed my mind. 1: Scream 2: Scream 2 3: Scream 6 4: Scream 3 Big Gap 5: Scream 4 6: Scream 5 I still like 4&5 but they just don’t hit me like the others do, the characters in those don’t feel as real and natural, especially Sidney, in 5 mostly, she sounds like if someone wrote a fanfic about Scream, same with most characters, they sound fake when they speak. 4 has better writing and dialogue but the ending falls flat for me
I gotta say, scream 6 really surprised me, I thought scream 5 was kinda meh but 6 was so good, I was legitimately on edge so many times during the movie
Scream 6 was nothing but an absolute RIP OFF OF PREVIOUS SCREAM FILMS 6 had a parent as a killer just like 2 6 had a roommate as a killer just like the original Scream 2 Script with Haley 6 left masks at the crime scenes… same as 3 with leaving pics of Sid’s mom at the crime scene 6 took the same motive as 5, crazy stab fans wanting to make their own film 🥱 There’s more! 6 steals multiple camera shots of previously Scream Films Blood shot eyes of the male killers same as Mickey in 2 Scream 6 even STOLE from other horror movies too The locking the bedroom/bathroom scene is the same as Child’s Play 1988 THERE LITERALLY IS NOTHING NEW WITH SCREAM 6 Being in New York doesn’t count! They didn’t even film in NYC SCREAM 6 SUCKED!
I completely agree. Was disappointed by the LACK on New York that was in the film. Can I also add how hilarious it was when Sam & Tara steal a cop car in midtown Manhattan without any repercussions Lmfao hilarious
How tf do you steal from your own franchise. All of those things arent even specific. I dont see those as valid reasons. The killer uses a knife in this movie so I guess he is copying every other slasher.
@@sharkquisha3407 I don’t believe anybody’s ever told you, so let me be the first to tell you. Scream is not Matt or Tyler‘s franchise. The Scream franchise is was and always will be Wes Craven. Plagiarizing somebody else’s work with minor tweaks does not make it your own. I gave very specific details showcasing, multiple incidences, and scenarios were scream six stole from the other movies. I am so tired of people telling me my opinions are not validated because they don’t agree with it. My part of this comment section is not here for you to agree or disagree with. FYI, your last sentence is literally what you were accusing me of being. It’s too broad, it’s to generalize. It doesn’t show anything specific like how my comment does. So if anybody’s opinion is not valid, it’s yours.
@@sharkquisha3407 what are you talking about? Scream is, was, & will always be Wes Cravens franchise, NOT Matt & Tyler’s.

@@briansvcrtaperecordings6295 pretty sure Wes Craven had some hand in giving the rights to them. Even if he didnt its still a better Scream movie than the last 3.
What did YOU think of Scream VI 🔪 Better than Scream (2022)?? Comment below!💥
Yes, the best one since the original imo !
Yep
"No one is safe". While the movie did sustain this quote (they are in danger the whole movie), I think they should have had at least let one of the core four die or at least be severely/permanently injured to show more of an impact (though we don't know what state poor Chad is in, but he did walk off V pretty well). Having all characters that were in Scream V survive while basically every new character dying was a bit jarring to me (much like Scream 3 & 4), as both the girlfriend dies and spoiler...
all 3 ghostfaces characters were introduced and killed in this movie. Im kinda of sad they introduced the idea of sparing a killer because it could have started a fun trend in a nod to Stu (it also could have been great character work to have the father live on, as his actions lead to the death of all of his children and making him live with that would be worse then any misery the sisters could have given him). BTW Sam's boyfriend is the only new character that is left standing in this movie. That aside its a great movie, and I can't wait to see what they do in the future.
It became my favorite sequel after a rewatch. I still wanna watch it a third time...
Of Course!

I loved Scream (2022), but I ADORE Scream VI. Like I left the theater immediately wanting to see it again.

That’s wild
Same

Same!
This is one of the few Ghostface that I found scary, you can really feel his rage. I do think the opening was very successful at subversion
I also agree, it's a good thing the story moved on from Sydney
@@charmer129 I agree. People were upset when she wasn’t coming back for 6 but honestly it was a good move. The franchise needed to move on from her. 5&6 are great. 6 being better id say at least. I wonder if they’ll bring her back for 7. Fingers crossed for Stu
Yes!
@@charmer129 ikr
Agreed, plus this movie has the longest opening scene out of all the Scream movies.
It manages to feel darker than most of the series, which heightens the tension. Insanely good visual/audio feeling.
My only complaint about the commentary and reactions to 6 is that people suggest Tony doesn't count as a "real" ghostface. I think the scariest part of the opening, and maybe it's a build up to the "cult" motive we'll eventually see, is that there were two sets of ghosteface killers planning a killing spree at the same exact time independent of each other. You pair that with Sam being recognizable and hated when seen on the streets, it's just very scary because it means even at the conclusion of the film, the odds seem high that more ghostfaces will be popping up in a matter of time.
For me jason (tony) count as a ghostface. I'm more in doubt about greg that didn't kill anyone (one of my friends count him as a ghostface too because he was planning a killing spree anyway)
@@taz9863 agreed. They actually were planning to finish Richie's movie, so they do count as real Ghostfaces, so there were technically 5 Ghostfaces in this movie, one of them actually not being shown wearing the costume and instead is chopped to pieces and shoved into a refrigerator for a jump scare scene.
That's the dark part of a Ghostface. Anyone can become a Ghostface.
Something I also want to add here in Scream 6 is that in the case of Anika, she felt more than just canon fodder. More than just another body count for Ghostface to put on his list. You really felt for her and you really wanted to root for her survival.
Despite Jason only having 1 kill and having only like 6 minutes of Screen Time, he is underrated. He had a pretty brutal kill, he was able to set up a date with his victim and lure her outside, and he was planning to kill Sam & Tara, and the way he described killing Laura was eerie and kinda disturbing since I know lots of killers use that terminology, that their victims are animals. Also, my memory may be mistaken but I thought I heard Jason mention on the phone that they were finishing Ritchie’s film, so I had guessed that him and Greg were friends with Ritchie and that’s how Det. Bailey found out they were planning to kill Sam & Tara
Him being named Jason makes it seem like he might be a throw-away character and this is the end of him, but I would like to see them explore of his story. I think if they end up ever going with the "cult" of killers route, there will be a lot of young guys who might idolize or sympathize with Jason, viewing him as a victim because he didn't get to complete his mission or whatever. Very scary stuff.
how is them being friends make him find out....
I think it's the most brutal Scream movie like man. The kills are harsh and brutal. Anika's death, I had to look away from the screen from seeing that. Scream 6 had everything from saying, "Hey, we're in a franchise. Legacy characters don't matter anymore" to "Yeah, we control the narrative. Thank you, internet."
It's definitely Ghostface Takes Manhattan. Look out Jason.
The most brutal death since Mickey on the detective car in Scream 2.
@@luisvelez1952 yea it was gruesomly awesome
Absolutely love this franchise, the original is my 2nd favorite horror film. S6 is currently my 3rd favorite behind S1 & S2. Loving this core four squad now, loved the brutality and suspense of this sequel. Cannot wait for the 7th chapter
That’s cause 6 is a 1&2 rip off
6 even used Scream 2’s unused script by making the SIDS roommate Haley a killer
Truly nothing new in 6
@@BabieBoyBlew well it’s a great thing film is 💯 subjective…
What's your (1st) favorite horror movie?
@@s1storm The Shining is my numero uno
@@BabieBoyBlew 6 was great. best one we’ve gotten in a long time
I found the ending to be a bit too ridiculous (not that the franchise ever wasn't) and felt like a parody of a parody to me but this was a really interesting movie and the directors have real talent. The Still Alive song is really catchy too.
I feel like Scream 4 is underappreciated. Love this franchise
It definitely is! Love that one and the franchise.
Scream 4 deserves what it gets. That movie was lame. All those deleted scenes they had actually makes the movie a lot better especially the ending where Sid is in the hospital and Gale and Dewey are there with her. But the intro and lighting, OH GOD THE LIGHTING, the lack of character development, last minute family additions like Maureen having a sister who we never heard about, and just the abrupt ending is all just not fleshed out or handled good.
Scream 4 is my favourite sequel. It balances horror and comedy perfectly and Jill is one of the best ghostfaces. Her monologue cracks me up every time.
Right? I think that ending, the last few seconds, are absolutely chilling. It’s my favorite sequel, it may not be the best, but it is my favorite.
@@i.wannabe.m.e You are lame as hell. That ending was rushed and they should have tooled that better. Jill dies and then cut to credits. Laaaame.
I really liked it. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the last 10 minutes but I totally get why you liked the movie. Great video man
scream 7 theories ruclips.net/user/m2nC_XLTC78
I loved the reveal and the fact that Terra also seemed to get satisfaction out of killing Ethan.
I love how they repackaged the killer instinct with Tara and Sam and used them for defense instead of murder.
What I love about this channel is that it takes movies that I love for one reason(likely just monkey brain love everything) but the way you go deeper and explain the movie for all it is makes me love it more.
Aw man thank you so much for that! That means a lot 🙏🏻❤️
He does a lot of movies😂 so you clearly love everything 😂
This is the best Scream 6 review I have seen. Kudos on truly understanding the point of the movie.
Didn't really like Scream (2022) that much. Scream VI though immediately jumped as my favorite sequel after watching it for the first time.
Yeah Scream 2022 was just not that good. I thought the motives sucked and the pacing felt way off.
This was my first scream movie and it inspired me to watch the entire franchise from start to finish
I hope you enjoyed the other films
I so appreciated your take on the Scream franchise. It is my favorite horror franchise and for the very reasons you talked about. I was so appreciative of Radio Silence and where they went with Scream VI, particularly with character development.
Not so good movie. First 25 min great rest is downfall.
@@olic6653 FAX. scream 6 is a sloppy mess. pathetic, some people considered this some sort of master piece.
I really like this movie as well. I think it's one of my favorites tbh
outside of some of the silly plot holes they're doing a helluva job
@@kiaadams104 not a master piece but a fun sequel
the plot holes are silly tho
Scream 6 totally blew me away. I wasnt sure at first following Neve's departure but when the first teaser hit, it gave me hope. Seen the movie and it's a masterpiece. Best Scream movie ever made along with Scream 3 and 1. This series has a bright future as it no longer needs Sidney for the story going forward
Agreed! I was impressed with how they handled Sidney’s departure. It really helped the new crew come into their own. Excellent film. Glad you enjoyed it too!
You didn’t think the killer reveal/motive was pretty weak?
@@tobydeaux Nah it was pretty well done imo. Made sense!
@@tobydeaux i think it was a little weak considering that Ghostface here were shown to be very daunting, but then all of a sudden the mask comes off and now they're weak.
@@littlebigbunnyrabbit9520 isnt it always kind of like that though? soon as the killer takes off the ghost face mask and costume they suddenly became a lot weaker. its like the costume gives them superpowers.
You captured how I feel about the overly critical and nitpicky nature of a lot of movie fans. The sheer unwillingness to just enjoy sequels and later movies in franchises due to clinging to how the originals were, it’s so baffling to me sometimes
I love how in scream 6 when Jason goes to his apartment in the beginning he puts on Friday the 13th part 8 Jason takes Manhattan. I fckn loved that 😂
I'm still in shock at the lack of views this channel gets despite the high quality and production values of these videos. I can't say I agree with all of your takes but everything you put out is very well made!
I like the major setpeices, the Bodega, the ladder alley, the subway, even the theater museum. But when six targets survive their attacks in the end, I feel like there aren't meaningful stakes.
Yeah, the subway scene would've been amazing if someone actually bit the dust there. Reason why the apartment scene was my favorite scene is because of how terrifying it was and how a few people actually got hurt and killed there.
At first, I thought Mindy and Chad were both going to die...but I definitely think Gail should have but I can understand the theme they were going for but I feel like they'll probably kill her off in the next one.
@@FrizzKid05 agreed! I like the core four surviving until the next one but would have liked them to kill Gale & Kirby to establish stakes
Chad 100% should have died and the longer I think about it the more it upsets me lol
I think the way to make this work would be to have Stu and others come back and actually kill Gale, Sidney, and/or Sam, and others, as long as 3 has a higher body count, and having a kinda idea that since these others are just imitating they aren’t as effective, copycats don’t get it done like the OG
It’s so crazy. They’re doing what David Gordon Green tried to do this but failed with Halloween (Kills and Ends are nowhere near the 2018 film). It still feels like a classic and not just a glorified fan film! I love this for us all. Even if Scream 7 sucks. We still got 6 ( S I X ! ) good films! (Even Scream 3 is fun and is no way as bad as: Halloween Res, ANOES Freddy’s Dead, or Jason Goes to Hell).
I really enjoyed 6 ... except for a giant plot hole. *spoiler*
How the hell did the Ghostface killer expert writer and investigative journalist, Gale Weathers, FBI agent Kirby, and the entire NYPD not know who Richie's dad and siblings were?!? WTF?!
Maybe if it was his uncle and cousins but c'mon. His son murdered a bunch of people but the dad wasn't questioned or interviewed? How?
I'm actually happy I guessed him as the killer, but still, make it make sense.
Even if they knew that they were related to Richie it wouldnt immediately make them the killers.
I just couldn't buy the killers' motivation. Laurie Metcalf killed it as Mrs. Loomis. I didn't feel such stellar performance from Dermot Mulroney's Bailey. It felt like a weak performance overall.
Totally fair! I actually quite dug him. But I mean yeah Laurie Metcalf is just perfect
I agree! And all of their performances were too over the top. Not like acceptable Stu over the top. I still really enjoyed it, flaws and all. It’s probably my favorite sequel, jumping up above 4. Tho 4 had a better Ghostface because Jill was something different. Really subverted the expectations for the final girl.
What’s there to buy? Their motives are revenge, it’s quite simple
Lol Metcalf was hammy as shite... cant buy the motivation? If the familys already slipped on a banana peel, which clearly they are... not sure what there is to buy that theyd try to kill the ones they deem responsible for killing their sibling. Mrs Loomis was an overrated reveal... the wonder of most of the Scream films is the idea that you can piece together whats going on and/or why... its impossible to figure out its Mrs Loomis which makes for a terrible mystery.
Too over the top? Ya know a lot of psychotic serial killer families do ya? Lol
What makes me love this movie is how opposite Richie’s siblings were the older brother was squirmy while the younger siblings were brutal
Like most horror fans I try to put myself in these situations mentally and in all the previous movies, I felt like I could just straight up take ghost face in a fight. This time, I felt like this version was so much more intense, menacing, and capable. Of course I'd probably have died not realizing there was more than one...
* Faint Wilhelm scream in the distance. You heard it didn't you?
You mentioned something about richie becoming a psychopath... Psychopathy is something that you are born with. I believe the correct term you're looking for is sociopath. Sociopathy is something that is learned behavior. No one becomes a psychopath, you are either born one or you are not. You can, however, become a sociopath.
I LOVE Scream 6. I can't wait to pick up the Blu-ray when it's released.
Scream 2022 was awesome! Scream 6 to me was a f*cking masterpiece! Action packed, brutal kills and the scariest Ghostface since the original! The Spyglass guys got my upmost respect for what they carried on! Wes would be proud!
Agreed. My favorite of the franchise. Best directing of the franchise next to the original.
Can we also talk about how they subverted expectations by not killing ANY of the returning cast. I think that’s a great subversion that’s not talked about enough bc I’m sure everyone expected at least 2/3 of the returning cast to bite it.
lol they killed them with multiples stabs or deadly blows that in the end didn't kill them because they were too much scared to lose them for the sequel. Gale, chad, Mindy and Kirby should all be gone by the end of the movie. Especially Chad.
They DO talk about it, just in a negative light 🙄
Honestly could be good to show permanent damage with Chad, I can only imagine seeing a scene showing all of the scars he's had because of his relation to Tara. Could make for great character work, as she could hold regret for putting him through all of this while he is completely oblivious to it all.
Idgaf chad shoulda died homie got stabbed like 30 times plus like 10 times I loved the movie but the end was kinda iffy for me w some of the decisions and kills
Plus 10 times in the last movie my bad can’t type for shit
I love how you articulated the intellectual discourse Scream 6 evokes!
It's crazy how the Scream franchise has kept up it's quality till now. Most horror franchises don't even have a sequel that's as good as the og yet Scream, other than 3, has been putting out bangers.
Facts.
@@DaxTheRipperX 🙏
In realistic ranking, it goes scream 1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 6. I accept no other ranking haha
1, 2, 5 , 3, 6, 4
I mean i like them all.. there is no bad Scream movie that exists in my mind..
I just saw ‘SCREAM VI’ earlier today. It's honestly my 2nd or 3rd favorite SCREAM Film!
Scream 6 features the most ruthless and brutal ghostface yet! Ironically though fails to get many successful kills at all.
There are no bad Scream movies, just some worse or better than others. I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of this film. The last act here is the worst in the series. I successfully predicted 1 Ghostface minutes into watching it, and the plot armor was very abundant, too. The opening and the kills were great, though.
Yeah I agree with you. I don’t think that there is a single bad Scream film. That being said, I thought Scream 6 was the weakest film in the franchise.
I felt so little tension and genuine fear throughout Scream 6 that I think I'm done with the franchise now. Getting stabbed by Ghostface means nothing as you'll be back running around like normal in the next scene. Pinning the words "franchise" and "legacy" onto the same monologues Randy had in 2 & 3 does not make this film meta, genuinely insightful or even very interesting. I liked the bodega shootout and alleyway/ladder scenes and that was it, I found the subway scenes boring and tedious tbh. Gail Weathers deserved much better than this film.
Scream 6 is literally scream 2 with the detective being the obvious killer immediately after daughter died cause he stopped crying like within the same scene. Also the motivation is scream 2 and taking place on a stage.
It’s definitely a spin on Scream 2, but I felt like it really became it’s own when it wrapped up
Scream 7 theories ruclips.net/user/m2nC_XLTC78
Completely agree this just felt a weaker copy of Scream 2 in a lot of ways except in New York.
@@Lucas-gc5ql it’s not a copy it’s a spin on it just like 5 was a spin on 1 6 is a spin on two but more brutal and trying out more new things
I didn’t see much much newness at all so I heavily disagree
So the perfect Scream sequel is a sequel that does the exact same thing every other Scream sequel did, was essentially a rehash of part 2, and one that you can predict which characters live and die right at the beginning? Weird but to each their own lol.
Absolutely adore this franchise and this movie
Outstanding analysis that pushed VI past Scream 2022 for me. Subscribed.
The last 3 movies have been great. Alongside the original SCREAM I think I am a very happy fan. I own the original in VHS I mean… watching the last two movies have really reminded me of why I became obsessed with this franchise.
Even tho I loughed at most of the first scream and couldn't watch another, it seemed like parody of horror movies however as I grew I came to appreciate it more when people i know who can't handle horror and gore can actually watch scream .so it's like the middle ground between horror and scoopy doo cartoon.
I feel like the three killer idea was cool but their motive was just lacking like if they were really only after Sam and the people who killed Richie then why kill all those people in the bodega💀
They were in the way, someone said “and whoever gets in my way” the first two dudes got in his way and the owner had a gun, idk, the dad was feeding into richies delusions for awhile, Ethan wanted Daddy’s approval, and Quinn, im not sure really, I got a Jill vibe from her, fame maybe, need to watch it again just got outta the theater
Thank you for this! Keep up the great content.

Scream IV really made me fall in love with the series again, like, i can't wait for them to make more movies! The only thing that i just hate since scream (2022) is Sam having these visions of Billy, i can't help but roll my eyes every time that it happens, besides that, i love it so much! The violence and the deaths feel more serious and i actually felt the impact of them much more than in the original trilogy, i just love the characters and mainly the core four so much!
It's definitely in the first place with Scream 4 for me, followed by the original Scream and then Scream (2022).
I saw Scream 6 on a whim without having seen any of the previous entries in the series and absolutely loved it! Went back and watched all the others and loved them too!
The Only thing I disliked was the killer's motive being basically Mrs. Loomis all over again, other than that the movie was perfect 🎉
I still think its a valid motive so im good with that. The last movie Richie and Amber had basically no motive and not like they are psycho like Mickey or Stu. They were just angry fans. This movie was leagues better.
@@sharkquisha3407 I was thinking maybe a cooler motive for the killer's would have been that they are tired that past killers and victims being glorified in movies as just nothing more. With people/media these days being more obsessed with the serial killers than acknowledging the victims with some respect. Idk maybe it's a wild motive but I think it would have been a cool one lol🤔
@@angelq9413 nevermind. I just rewatched Scream 5. I change my mind on the motive, while its not the best motive it still makes sense even if it feels contrived. Richie and Amber were undiagnosed psychopaths with an obsession with horror and Stab and used it as an outlet for their sick fantasies and thats when they got the idea to make a movie of killing their "friends" so they can make a better Stab movie than the real ones and planned to get away with it with their movie.
Are you literally insane. S6 was useless. We all knew none of the Core 4 (chosen for "diversity") would die. We all knew Kirby wasn't a killer. That left EXACTLY 3 possibilities. Bingo! The Core 4 are not actors, they are just random people. Scream 1 somehow assembled a group of actors that actually had a personality. No one will be watching S5 or S6 a few years from now.
Anyone understood what the Deal was with the opening Copycat Killers, Jason and His Roommate; like, they were Always Supposed to be Part of the Final Group of Ghostfaces (with Richie's Fam)!?
If not, then How did Richie's Folks Find them then!?
Yeah I think they and others are meant to come together for the finale for a big spree, but they jumped the gun, so they got killed
@@Gibbypastrami Yup, I think so too....
I really loved Scream 5 and I liked Scream 6 even more
I really like scream 6. But that 3rd act really brings it down for me. Pretty much had the scream 2 ending.
Yeah I liked most of Scream 6 but that last act brought it way down in my ranking in the series
Wasnt that the point? That its like the second sequel, for me it makes sense there a vengeful parent. Still the ending was kinda lackluster, too many people with guns not using them
@@maca76 We're at the point now where I think it needs to change
I love these movies so much. Every time a new one comes out, I am both excited about it and dreading it. I was hesitant to see the sixth film because of how the third one was a bit of a let down, but I'm so glad I decided to see it. It really elevated the fifth one and actually really gives me hope for the seventh. And I'm glad I get to experience the Scream rabbit hole in adulthood.
I loved the movie up until the last 20 mins, it felt like it fell off a cliff and was pretty sloppy at the end, still a 7/10 for me tho
I agree Scream VI is a perfect sequel! It's probably the most entertaining in the franchise and one that I'd go back to. This was also the first Scream movie I saw in theaters. I couldn't see the 5th one because my cinemas closed because of the omicron. It sucks because 5cream came out on my birthday. I understand if people didn't like the killers in this one but it didn't ruin the movie for me. And I know some people are annoyed with the Jenna Ortega hype especially after Wednesday. I've seen Letterboxd reviews with 5-star ratings only talking about how much they love Jenna Ortega and not mention other aspects of Scream VI. Yes, Jenna Ortega is the best part of this film as well as the 5th one but there are other things to love about it.
I love how Gale told Ghostface to hold on, hanged up and did *69 on him. Before she does you hear ghostface on the phone go "Wait, what?" lol It became a Scary Movie cross over for a moment.
Scream is one of my favorite horror franchises. It is extremely fun and has new ideas every movie. It reminds me of mission impossible. That franchise was failing after the third movie but came back and reinvented itself. Unlike every Disney property😢
I saw it this weekend. Much like all the movies but 3, it exceeded expectations. I don’t know how they keep doing it. These movies have their flaws. I’m not buying Quinn throwing a big ass dude throw a window. I hate that everyone is getting stabbed and surviving. Not a fan of fake out death. Still it was entertaining, tense, and creative. It was good.
I truly love this movie. Going to see it for the 13th time in theaters tomorrow.
Perfect .. people getting stabbed 35 times and living .. you might be able to get away with that shit with one person ..but not the whole cast ..you got a 18 year old girl throwing a grown ass man around like a ragdoll ..
Sometimes it be the fans that want the craziest things (Stu’s return) that are critical of this film… loved this film so much
"This movie is unrealistic!! I want an old man who had a TV fall in his head, and has been in prison for 25 years to come back and kill people, its the only way to make it good now" q
Scream was what brought me into the horror genre, I will always love it. My personal favourite franchise
Excellent deep dive, it's my 2nd favourite in the franchise after Scream 4 despite some frustrating moments like Chad surviving THAT attack (likeable character though so I'm glad he survived but come on) and Mindy surviving being completely gutted, Detective Bailey just allowing Sam to run at him when he has enough time to unload an entire clip into her, Gale choosing to leave the safety of her gun cabinet when she has the perfect vantage point with a loaded gun pointed at the only way in or out but its good moments are really damn good - the opening mask reveal to throw the audience off, the return of Kirby who I have always felt since Scream 4 could potentially carry the franchise if they ever decided to make Sidney one of the opening girls, Sam temporarily embracing her father's murderous side in order to turn the tables on the attackers (great use of "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me" feeling earned) and some great set pieces including the ladder sequence, the subway sequence (very effective and very Wes Craven) and the refreshing subversion of audience expectations when usually in a Scream movie, the attacker will always disappear if a group of people suddenly come together, especially in a public place so to see a Ghostface who isn't deterred at all by following his targets into a relatively busy convenience store was a big "holy s***" moment!
I liked this movie just wish they did a better job of hiding who the killers where.
Based on the there own rules that they laid out on the bench it could have only been them.
Only part I didn't figure out 75% of the way though the movie was how they where related.
ruclips.net/user/m2nC_XLTC78
They want to complain about the setting not being in Woodsboro? Wait until they hear about Scream 2 and Scream 3
I think that if they do Scream 7 they should have Ghostface finally win at the end (except one who miraculously survives but he manages to kill everyone else) because it would be another huge change similar to what they did with 3 killers in this movie. This would shock audiences.
Nah, there needs to be some surviving OGs for the movie to continue. Maybe if the idea is to let ghostface "win", instead the opening kill is Tara and she actually dies. Then the movie turns into Sam taking on the ghostface mask in order to find who killed Tara and get revenge.
@1bwash I feel like Jenna Ortega is roo big a name to kill off in your opening sequence. Sure, they did that with Drew Barrymore, but she wasn't an established character in the movie yet. I feel like in this one they should've killed Gale & Kirby off. One of the twins in the next one but I do love the Core Four they're going with for 7
@@DroMeetsPhoto I say kill Jenna's character solely because just from the press tour, she really doesn't seem to be into the movie at all and she might be at the point where she says she's done 3 movies and that's enough. If that ends up being the case, the best use for her would be to kill her for shock factor and use it to fuel Sam/Melissa because on the other hand, that actress seems to be in love with the role.
@1bwash that's a good point. I haven't paid any mind to the press tour so I had no idea Jenna seemed over it. I can get behind that if they do it well, which I have faith they would bc they haven't disappointed thus far. I also say kill one of the twins even tho I personally love their character's. Glad they survived but let's give 7 some further stakes. If they keep the twins then kill Gale/or Kirby. We'll also have to see if they bring Neve back into the fray
This was a great review and made me think of things I didn't think of with this movie.
I practically rank Scream VI either 2nd to the original or tied for #1.
Then Scream 5, 4, 2 and 3
Scream vI ISN'T the best scream sequel. It's THE WORST. It's scream 2 but shittier. Scream vi even violated scream 5 rules Amber said "we had to kill Dewey do our movie had fucking stakes" and yet these characters in scream 6 were stabbed 30 times and they all lived and nothing was scary. It was bullshit
Scream 5 was OK but I was obsessed with Scream 6! I saw it twice at the cinema it was so exciting!
I agree with your analysis 100%. In my opinion, Scream 6 is the best sequel yet. I did not miss Sydney at all, I was glad she wasn't there, it opens the franchise up to move forward. Not gonna lie though, I did miss Dewey. Can't wait to see what they do next!
Scream 6 could've been the best sequel for me if the 3rd act wasn't a rehash of Scream 2, some illogical writing behind the killer reveal (No one knew Richie's family esp Gale who wrote a book based on the events of 5 or Kirby who is a FBI agent who takes interest in Ghostface killings and Detective Bailey passing a background check when transferring to the NYPD even tho he changed his name and is the father of a killer, and plot armor for the main characters. Scream 6 is still a solid movie but Scream 2 imo is the best sequel. My ranking of the Scream Franchise: 2>1>5>4>3>6
I totally agree about the toxic fandom type thing, for me it’s ok to not like a movie or something, but to do what toxic fandom has been known to do is no. It’s because some make their decisions a fact rather than an opinion, I always state it’s my opinion only. And loved scream 6
Come on now, opening scene very good, middle of the movie ok, last 3rd was absolute garbage, obvious killers and motives, people surviving unsurvivable injuries, plot holes everywhere… shame because as I said the beginning really was good
I liked scream 6 too.. but I personally think 3 killers is too much for a frequent thing.. I still prefer Scream 5 than this. The opening of Scream 6 was also fresh.. (SPOILER) but at the ending when Detective Bailey runs towards Samantha holding the gun was just stupid. Scream 2 is still the best Scream sequel in my opinion, not saying this was bad, i liked it for what it was. Could have been done better though.. The Franchise/Mindy scene should have been done like Scream 2 was done when Randy/Mindy and Dewey/Kirby where talking alone.. it would have been more sutle..
I've only seen Scream 1 & 5. I've seen Scream 1 so many times and was always very mixed onnit but ober the years I've grown to love it. The rest if the movies seem pretty nad tbh and in watching Scream 6 I was insanely surprised at hoe perfect it was. Scream VI looks amazing and I'm excited to see it. It reminds me of how all the Saw movies are pretty meh except for the original and maybe the 2nd movie.
I just realized they never introduced richie's mom so there's a possibility she could be one of the next ghostface. Would be kinda lazy tho I hope they don't do that lol
This is my favorite Scream sequel.
I don’t know if anyone is gonna read this but this dude doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It just sounds like a whole bunch of BS. When he said that even Tara and Sam could die, they legit can’t and wouldn’t. Why in the world would they kill off the two main characters and especially Jenna Ortega’s character after all of the game she is getting right now.
You guys should go watch Zack Cherry’s review of the movie. He is a good fan of the Scream franchise but he is humble and speaks good of both sides. He knows what he’s talking about 💀😂
I watched Scream VI three times, most recently about an hour ago.
I love all of these movies. I’d say this film falls in the bottom half for me, not because it’s bad but because the others are so stellar. Scream 4 is by far my least favorite.
Ranking-Scream 2, Scream, Scream 5, Scream 6, Scream 3, Scream 4.
4 just wasn’t as good in the opening and the middle for me. Scream 3 has greatly grown on me over the years. It’s Sidney’s ultimate send off and another reason why I’m not a big fan of 4. I will say this though/-I love how 4 has that really cool 2-part ending.
Scream 6 subverted my expectations by telling me that anyone can die and then killing almost no one.
By being self-aware but never mentioning how characters constantly walk off crazy wounds.
By never further exploring the elements of Sam being scapegoated for the ghostface kills or whether she herself has a killer personality.
I adored this movie
Same!!
Scream 7 theories ruclips.net/user/m2nC_XLTC78
I liked your video and I have to say, Scream made awesome changes, but sometimes we do have bad ones, that don't make sense for the character, like Luke, or at least, to make such a drastic change, it has to be stablished in a way, like Scream did so well!
But the rage for the father is not an excuse, like, it was 20/30 years ago for him, maybe if he was just a failed Jedi but didn't try to kill his nephew, because he always tries to see good in people, then he could be at the same position, but not with such a drastic change of heart.
I'm happy with good changes, but just because we need change, it doesn't mean I'll like a bad one. But great video! Our analysis need to be less passionate and more respectful like this!
Obs.: An example for how I feel about Luke is if Sidney was going to be the next ghostface, at least for me they would need a GREAT excuse for her turning it or it would be a bad change of character
Great commentary. I agree about fans that want things to stay the same. Like, if you are so attached to the original, just rewatch it, or reread it, or read the manga
Etc.
The ONE thing I wish they changed is they should have killed someone. Maybe they let everyone survive intentionally because 5 was all about killing someone so the movie would have stakes… chad surviving was a little too much for me. Chad or Mindy really needed to die… Even Kirby could have been an interesting kill, although I’m glad she can still return in the future. That said it’s genuinely one of the best.
"No one is safe"
Except for the survivors of the last movie...and the legacy characters.
Tell that to Dewey
@@AlexLikesToons I meant in this movie
This movie was very well done! I was squirming I’m my seat the whole time😂! GREAT TIME!
Thanks for defending this movie. I completely agree with what you said and I hate how much hate there is on the internet. I wish we could just like stuff.
Also thank you so much for defending the Last Jedi. I think it was a great movie and is hated on an insane amount that really isn’t deserved.
I wasn´t a big fan of scream 5 so i had low expectations but I really loved scream 6!
Scream 6 is a masterpiece of camp. sequels, and slashers. Great video.
SCREAM VI il another level, so much powerfull, action, investigate. And a new story is born since the 2022, wich is really cool to not put down or leave the original 1996. This is a new era, LOVE IT.
Hope they will made a "return to the original" movie with the story of the mom of Sidney, a story before ghostface was born! They can make another mask killer! IT WILL BE SICK!
i wanna politely flex that it was Stab 5 that had time travel! but i love this video sm, one of my favourite views on this movie
I don't know what movie you all watched, it was super shit. Guessed the killers as soon as Quinn said: "My brother died"
Ok lol good for you.
Is not the best sequel I'm sorry, is a good film is solid but it could have been great, I felt nothing on the ghostface reveal and the amount of fake out deaths really makes you wonder if everyone is suddenly invincible. I liked everything else about it. Great open and I think the movie did a great job with Sam, in the last film I really didn't trust her as a final girl, but Sam in this film is amazing. Is a good scream film but it could have been better. Kirby could have been used better as well (hopefully in the next one)
To be fair they did change the motive because of Neve's absence, and while I do agree that the invincibility of characters and the amount of survivors are a lil too much, I think the positives outweigh the negatives for me.
@@littlebigbunnyrabbit9520 they should've killed Gale & Kirby to establish stakes since they're setting up the core four for the next installment.
The ending was amazing. I had goosebumps. If they ended the franchise with this, I would be so happy. I don’t think they can top this ending
As long as they stay miles ahead of scream 3 I think we’re good.
It’s my third favorite of the movies, I love the first 2 the most, and I always liked 3 more than 4&5 and I didn’t like 5 that much even though it wasn’t exactly bad, but I’ve changed my mind.
1: Scream
2: Scream 2
3: Scream 6
4: Scream 3
Big Gap
5: Scream 4
6: Scream 5
I still like 4&5 but they just don’t hit me like the others do, the characters in those don’t feel as real and natural, especially Sidney, in 5 mostly, she sounds like if someone wrote a fanfic about Scream, same with most characters, they sound fake when they speak. 4 has better writing and dialogue but the ending falls flat for me
I gotta say, scream 6 really surprised me, I thought scream 5 was kinda meh but 6 was so good, I was legitimately on edge so many times during the movie
Scream 6 was nothing but an absolute RIP OFF OF PREVIOUS SCREAM FILMS
6 had a parent as a killer just like 2
6 had a roommate as a killer just like the original Scream 2 Script with Haley
6 left masks at the crime scenes… same as 3 with leaving pics of Sid’s mom at the crime scene
6 took the same motive as 5, crazy stab fans wanting to make their own film 🥱
There’s more!
6 steals multiple camera shots of previously Scream Films
Blood shot eyes of the male killers same as Mickey in 2
Scream 6 even STOLE from other horror movies too
The locking the bedroom/bathroom scene is the same as Child’s Play 1988
THERE LITERALLY IS NOTHING NEW WITH SCREAM 6
Being in New York doesn’t count!
They didn’t even film in NYC
SCREAM 6 SUCKED!
I completely agree. Was disappointed by the LACK on New York that was in the film.
Can I also add how hilarious it was when Sam & Tara steal a cop car in midtown Manhattan without any repercussions
Lmfao hilarious
How tf do you steal from your own franchise. All of those things arent even specific. I dont see those as valid reasons. The killer uses a knife in this movie so I guess he is copying every other slasher.
@@sharkquisha3407 I don’t believe anybody’s ever told you, so let me be the first to tell you. Scream is not Matt or Tyler‘s franchise. The Scream franchise is was and always will be Wes Craven. Plagiarizing somebody else’s work with minor tweaks does not make it your own. I gave very specific details showcasing, multiple incidences, and scenarios were scream six stole from the other movies. I am so tired of people telling me my opinions are not validated because they don’t agree with it. My part of this comment section is not here for you to agree or disagree with. FYI, your last sentence is literally what you were accusing me of being. It’s too broad, it’s to generalize. It doesn’t show anything specific like how my comment does. So if anybody’s opinion is not valid, it’s yours.
@@sharkquisha3407 what are you talking about? Scream is, was, & will always be Wes Cravens franchise, NOT Matt & Tyler’s. They stole cause it was easier to use someone else’s ideas (even their scrapped ideas), then rely on their own talents.
I gave specific multiple examples, yet you come back with a general statement about using knifes.
I’m done, bye
@@briansvcrtaperecordings6295 pretty sure Wes Craven had some hand in giving the rights to them. Even if he didnt its still a better Scream movie than the last 3.
Scream 6 is a copy cat of scream 2. Nothing about this film was original . Not understanding all the praise.
