Specialized networks and media will be filled with fan-written reviews of Scream 6 and its predecessor films. However, I like to be honest with you all: yesterday I went to the press pass without having a fucking idea of the franchise. On the subway, I read a super quick summary of previous events and with so many names, there was no way it would stick in my head. And finally, after 120 minutes of pure adrenaline, silly dialogue and even more absurd decisions, I left the room wondering why I had never decided to watch Scream before..
If you’re new to Scream like me, Scream 6 is brutally fun.
I have heard that Shout It’s a fan-only saga, the rest of us mortals only see a parody movie franchise of what is a slasher. However, in Cry 6 I discovered a convincing narrative development, with plot twists well placed in the footage and some dialogue that, without deserving a Oscar far from it, they are surprising because they move away from the clichés of the genre and bring the characters closer to the generation millennium. You can even flirt with metacinema by reflecting on the genre slashermocking him.
Speaking of stereotypes, of course there are. If you have already seen other movies like Terrifying, Halloween, Viernes 13 oh Nightmare on Elm Streetyou will probably discover the identity of ghost face before the script reveals it to you. But there comes a time when everyone looks suspiciouswhat is essential for me in a movie Of this genre. If we only focused on two or three characters, we would end up getting bored in less than 30 minutes.
On the other hand, performances are always a very controversial topic in a movie. slasher. Since the script is generally not brilliant, it is difficult for the performers to shine. However, I think both Jenna Ortega as Melissa Barrera they are very convincing Tara there Sam Carpenter. The franchise’s returning characters aren’t far behind either: Courtney Cox oh Hayden Panettiere They give good times (and they show up more than I thought watching the trailer). And as I said, without being a fan of ShoutI appreciated these moments as much as the rest of the room (moreover, the emotion was in the air).
Sure, you’ll end up hating some characters, but when I see a slasher (this happened to me recently with Terrifying 2) I’m just looking for young idiots who drive me crazy with their nonsense, their decisions and their pitfalls. So another realization of this film which, if it does not revolutionize the genre, brings it up to date and shows that with a budget, you can do interesting things. Because money is perceptible in every plane and in every place: New York is the perfect city to install Scream 6: a gigantic city in which no one is aware of what is happening around them. Even a kill 3 meters away from you won’t get your AirPods removed.
For Scream fans, Scream 6 is a treat
When I returned, I did not hesitate to see Shout (2022) to settle some details that remained unresolved. For example, the identity of certain characters and their relationships; or what was the motivation of others. and then I saw myself Shout (1996) and I have the other three films pending. What do I understand? Without being a Scream expert myself, there are quite a few sequences that are a real gift for fans like you..
I can’t (and don’t want to) do spoilersbut a specific place will amaze you. There are so many details and so much love put into it, that even I, being a newcomer, was moved.
Scream 6 is the clear example of “more and better”
For the rest, and after seeing two other films by Shout from Cry 6I think this slice is a “more and better” in all the rules. And an update on what should be a slasher in power: murders, absurd decisions, hateful characters and many twists until finding the identity of the new Ghostface. Besides, if you are a newbie like me and join Scream 6 this is a hilarious product that will keep you glued to the seat for two hours. This, yes, I think you’ll enjoy it more if you’ve seen Scream before (2022) because it’s a direct sequel to that one.
