Klarth F Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 I honestly liked Act 3 overall. I went to see this unscathed by the spoilers for the most part (that damn ET canada interview spoiled me the "virgin" line so I knew about Ethan) so I was definitely gagged when Quinn popped up. I did think her off-screen death was a bit suspicious but I thought it might have been an homage to Urban Legend or something and everything that happened in that scene was so fast that I kinda forgot about it. They also made me doubt about Kirby ngl Quinn getting clocked by the brick made (I generally liked her character). Dermont Murloney's acting in that Act tho was a choice tho...

Hide contents Kirby and Gale should've recognised Ghostface. same with the fake death, how did they (especially Kirby since it's her job!!) not caught on that I will never understand. also 'who the f*** cares about movies' was not the subversion they thought it was, it just showed that the writers ran out of things to say about horror films to they put together a half-assed story and called it a day. i understand why neve didn't want to be a part of this. the kills and chase scenes were fun and the movie clearly had budget, but story-wise this franchise is done i think. A whole NYPD cop was the father of one of the killers from 6 months ago, yet this went off the radar by everyone? Come the **** on. That was such sloppy writing. It would have made way more sense had he been the therapist. The final act truly was mediocre at best. This would have flown right up there with Scream 2 had the final act been better.
ebaby Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Spoiler you guys are really doubting an nypd cop can be related to a crazy person / themselves also be crazy be for real. cops snap and doing horrible things / and have the resources to cover those things up all the time
Bhabylon Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 As someone who thought 5 was absolute dogshit, I wasn't expecting to love 6 as much as I did Literally everything was so much better. The writing, the acting, the story, the kills Even Mindy wasn't annoying in this one The best Scream sequel, I fear
Bhabylon Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Also this was proof that Sidney was holding 5 back. She's iconic, but it was time to move on to a new story and new characters

Right Now Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Loved the movie but… I was seriously concerned with the writers not having the guts to kill off either Mindy or Chad. They were both stabbed brutally but especially Chad and we’re supposed to believe Mindy was just able to leave the hospital and pop up at the end with a limp at worst? Why didn’t they do something different and have Ethan push her out the back of the train and onto the tracks after it started moving again to leave her for dead? And Chad getting stabbed the way he did by the brother-sister duo but we know he’ll be up and about like nothing by the next film. Why didn’t they think to slice his throat as well. For killers to be “something different” and so brutally murder other characters, the creative team really dropped the ball with these two just for fan service.

Chad should've died along with Gale and Danny. I'm indifferent on Mindy as Quinn didn't really do the best job trying to kill her on a crowded train. It would've been too soon to reveal Ethan as GF before Act 3. Plus we already had that moment earlier in the movie with Jason.

I'm not doubting that he can be related to a crazy person. I'm doubting how NO ONE would know about it Or even be talked about as one of the 'sequel rules' from the original. You'd think Kirby would have investigated the ghostface attacks, as she literally said so herself.

I just feel like… They’d already heavily suggested Ethan was going to be a killer, that it would have been kind of poetic had he finished the job in the train scene and the audience and Mindy been validated in the fact that he was a killer. We were already minutes away from the final act. The real surprise was still going to be Quinn. Also, did anyone else feel Josh did a TERRIBLE job in this film? I’ve seen him in other projects before and he wasn’t bad, but I thought his character was just the pits. The fact that he would up being a “survivor” too.
ebaby Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 you gays made some points. I still was here for it and everyone in my audience was shocked

Spoiler well, technically Gale's, Mindy's and Chad's attacks can be survived. Gale got stabbed like 3 times, Mindy once, and I didn't count but I think even Amber stabbed Chad more times than the 2 GF's did. But yeah, I think one of them has to die in 7

The amount of blood he was already losing and the amount of time between his stabbings and the police/ambulances arriving it’d seem he’d have lost to much blood by then with all the stabbings. Especially when he was essentially left for dead and no one was treating his wounds. Again, for killers who’d already done some gruesome deaths and decapitated/aimed for the head on multiple prior killings, it seemed like a huge oversight.

Again, for killers who’d already done some gruesome deaths and decapitated/aimed for the head on multiple prior killings, it seemed like a huge oversight. Spoiler Well, Quinn and Ethan haven’t killed anyone before attacking Chad ( Ethan hasn’t done any attack before third act I think ), except for Quinn who practically ambushed Gale’s boyfriend, but she couldn’t have given Gale fatal wounds even after stabbing her three times in direct contact. And yes, she attacked Mindy on the subway, but the setting of the scene helped her immensely. Also, they were more indulged to show Tara and Sam there are two killers most definitely. I don’t necessarily say Chad’s survival should have happened, but I am glad it did, because he was truly centerpiece of the movie in his own way. His stabbings resemble those Dewey got in Scream 2. And the scene towards the end when Tara is running to him a la Gale with Dewey. Also, we finally got two Ghostafces attacking one victim at the same time, which was an idea exsiting in original Scream 2 script regarding death of one character, but I am not sure who.

I can’t wait to rewatch later this weekend. So proud of this film and their work. I WILL say this non-spoilery comment: Scream 6 has the best chase scene of the entire franchise. That was I C O N I C. Absolute best chase scenes!!! The tension was insane, need even more of them in the next film. This is exactly what we’ve been missing from slashers in general
