Scream VI
"Film nerds with letterboxd account instead of personalities" Damn, I feel attacked lol.
Scream VI exceed my expectations, it was a lot better than I expected. The cast are amazingly good, the setting is amazing (especially the shrine), the story line is pretty engaging, and the gore/violence are appatizing. I had a blast since the very first opening scene with the scream queen herself <PERSON> until the very end of the movie. I love the easter eggs and nods to other horror movies, it make the whole movie more meta than ever. I watched Scream VI two times in a row and I think it slowly dethroned Scream IV as my second favourite in the franchise.
<PERSON> is a fucking gnarly maniac in this one! Very menacing, agile, and disturbingly talkative. There were a lot of really suspenful and intense scenes with <PERSON>, usually they were just clumpsy, goofy, and playful. I love how the mask were looking grimy and rough, reminds me of <PERSON> mask in Halloween 2018. 444
That being said, I kind of see it coming but it was beautifully executed, it was still quite formulaic but felt fresh at the same time.
I thought <PERSON> was gonna be abrasive little brat at first, but thankfully she didn't. <PERSON> was marvelous as always, the relationship between <PERSON> and <PERSON> also felt more organic this time. I'm happy to see the full potential of <PERSON> as <PERSON>, she's way more interesting and relatable, I think it has a lot to do with how they write her character this time around. All the supporting act was really great too!
Now you enter the <PERSON> section:
<PERSON> is by far my favourite character in the franchise, I was really bummed out when they "killed" her in Scream IV, but I was so excited when I discovered an Easter egg on Scream V that lead to the fact that <PERSON> is potentially still alive. I smiled so hard when I saw her face, she make the movie ten thousand times better. I actually like the red herring in the third act that suggest she's the killer, I thought that would be insane and bold but I guess they didn't want to go that route.
Overall, Scream VI was extremely entertaining, there's a lot of nostalgia boost but the movie itself is really good. I purposely watched it after all the hype kinda subside and it was proven that Scream franchise is genuinely fun and everlasting. <PERSON> would be proud. 444
