Review of Scream VI

Scream VI (2023)
4/10
So...knives don't kill people anymore?
14 August 2023
Listen, I've watched every "Scream" film since it's premiere in '96, and each one has become more ludicrous by the minute.

At this juncture, it's obvious the franchise has officially Jumped the Shark. The writers are now pulling nephews, cousins, grandmothers, long-distance relatives and adopted siblings as the new generation of "slayers", and of course, it's always done in the name of seeking retribution for a dead family member.

Enough, already. It's getting old.

Coupled with the fact that essential characters are getting slashed and stabbed, and then simply rising off the ground with a quick stretch and a whimper? I don't get it. So teenagers don't DIE anymore? I watched three people in this film get stabbed in the chest and gut, and many were impaled multiple times. I don't know about you, but when a stabbing occurs in the belly, you will usually bleed out. End of story. It doesn't matter if you have the majestic body of a teenager. Or if you're a vital character to the storyline.

All in all, I'm pretty done. And to save you the time, I predict the next Ghostface will be Billy Loomis' mom's best friend's GODMOTHER, because you know...everyone hates Samantha at this point.
