Scream 6 is exactly what you think it is an awful continuation of an already outdated slasher movie franchise.
I loved the first three Scream movies but they were products of the time, a time when twists in movies were still somewhat inventive and could actually surprise you. Scream 4 and 5 both had incredibly predictable plot lines with twists so weak they make Scooby Doo twists look like a Sherlock novel by comparison.
Scream 6 follows the same group of failed attempts at characters from the previous movie only this time the entire movie is focused on them in a weak attempt to make these new characters the lead protagonists of the new Scream franchise.
The plot is basically just Scream 2 with a few minor changes to the script. The villains who take up the mantle of ghost face also have the same motivation for killing people as Nancy Loomis in Scream 2.
The absolute worst thing about this movie is the "writers" of this crapfest bring back a character from Scream 4 who was dead at the end of the movie and not even referenced in Scream 5 it's just incredibly lazy writing and a cash grab attitude to the entire movie.
Neve Campbell didn't want any part in this movie and I can't say I blame her for not wanting any part in yet another retred of a movie she did over 20 years ago. Courtney Cox returns as Gale Weathers only for her character to be made even more unlikeable and hated than she was by the cast of Stab 3 in Scream 3.
The only saving grace is the gore in this movie is actually pretty decent with a heavy focus on stabbing to an almost excessive amount. The only downside is the stabbing is made kinda pointless when almost every character walks off their stab wounds like it's nothing. There is one scene in particular where a character is stabbed around twenty times with two knifes but he still survives and makes a joke while being put in the back of an ambulance at the end of the movie.
At this point I'm so sick and tired of horror movies that think by simply following the nostalgia of the original movies makes their crappy sequels good when in reality they really aren't.
I wouldn't recommend paying to watch this movie in the theatre. The reviews online say that this Scream movie is the best since the original keep in mind they said this about Scream 4 and Scream 5 so take that for what it's worth.
