Scream 5 and 6 had similiar reveals, but it were still variations of the original reveals and not an exact copy. It is very possible that it will be Sam and Tara's mother, Christina Carpenter. She was mentioned multiple times, even directly in the Scream 5 opening and she would've a motive, that includes Sam AND Sidney. Sidney, because she was Billy's actual girlfriend and got all the fame and attention after the murders and on top of that killed Billy, who she probably loved. And Sam, because she blames her for destroying her family and turning her husband, and later Tara, against her. Christina Carpenter was a drunk and befriended Amber, telling her that Billy is Sam's father and how Sam destroyed her family and how she's jealous of Sidney, creating a plan to kill both. That's why she's leaving town for an "extended work trip", so Amber and Richie can fulfill their plan and maybe she even contacted Detective Bailey and told him about Sam killing Richie.

The “I’m something different” or more brutal Ghostface commentary WOULD have worked had the writers not let so many characters survive. I thoroughly enjoyed the film, but all those characters surviving such brutal stabbings is what’s keeping me from stanning. There’s needed to be some stakes at hand. The entire “Core 4” surviving when two should have been found dead as a door nail just doesn’t leave you feeling much at the end. Almost like this installment was inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverse Warholian Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Just got out of the cinema and this was mid af although a marginal improvement over 5scream thanks to a fresh new setting, great kills beautiful kills, and Gale's amazing chase scene. The "core four" are just not that interesting (one of them should've died) and the killers' motives keep getting sillier. Don't think I'll be watching the next installment(s) 6.5/10 Edited March 14, 2023 by Reverse Warholian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverse Warholian Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 7 hours ago, skankle said: This was decent but the girlies are being a bit delusional with the mega praise! The writing is literally worse than ever but it's compensated for by the consistently great set pieces. Sam's actress does 100000x better too. Hide contents The resilience of these characters is getting incredibly ridiculous for the sake of adding stakes + gore without having to kill them off. Mindy's girlfriend got a knife dragged from her bellybutton up to her ribcage and somehow manages to walk and talk and crawl for the next 5 minutes before her (kinda funny) plummet. Mindy herself gets a big drawn-out stab on the train and then is running around only a few hours later as if nothing happened in the epilogue. Tara is literally stabbed in the back during the finale when kissing Chad (particularly annoying and cringe and useless plot point btw) and it seems like they pretend it didn't happen entirely and she's not even sent to hospital? And then worst of all Chad who brings nothing but eye candy to the table survives an absolute barrage of stabbings Like come on just kill him off we don't really care! (English breakfast) Tea!

Almost like this installment was inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Spoiler That was a complaint that I had earlier in this thread. One thing that always made Scream great is that they always had well-written clever characters who aren't just their for a body count. Of course there are always characters that are just cannon fodder, but I always think of Tatum who is a central character and people remember her not only because of her memorable death scene, but because she was a great character that everyone rooted for and wanted to live. Imagine if instead of killing Tatum , they just offed all the random extras at the party . Similar to Randy in the Sequel, they could have easily brought him back with the other 3 but didn't. Like I felt bad for Anika, but I feel like she was killed as soon as we got to know her and I kind of new she was doomed from the beginning because of the trailers. Also it bothered me how Mindy was just somehow fine (even joking about who the killer is) after watching her girlfriend get tragically murdered .

ebaby Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 i agree that Spoiler chad shouldn't have survived that many stabs but I also think in the older movies some of the characters die way too easily, like way too easily it's kind of inconsistent and takes a bit of suspending your belief when you watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted March 14, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted March 14, 2023 I mean, my stan glasses are glued on at this point, so I can't even imagine how big of a misstep this franchise would have to take for me to genuinely not enjoy one of the entries. I acknowledge that. However, I do also believe that these films are the most fun when you meet them halfway. Are some of the plot points farfetched? Sure (to be fair, they kind of always have been). Do some of the reveal sequences leave room for improvement? Of course. But if you just let the film do its thing, at least for me, it's maybe the most fun I've ever had in an actual cinema. Also, I do think that nostalgia bolsters some people's love for these films (like me) while it makes these newer films harder to enjoy for others. It's easy to look back on the early films (especially the first two) and put them on a pedestal while overlooking some of their flaws (and they do have them). I do that every time I re-watch them, but if you really pushed me on it, I'd be able to point out some elements that don't quite work as well as others. Same thing for 5 and 6, but they are so much fun and the performances (particularly in 6) are so compelling that I don't mind certain 'faults.' Of course people are entitled to their opinions, and I'm sure some are just genuinely dissatisfied with the direction the franchise is going, but I do feel like some people are just looking for problems for the sake of it. Not necessarily anyone on here, just some thoughts I've been having perusing the wide array of reactions. Over the moon with the audience scores, and that Scream now has four certified fresh installments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oktober Knight Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 If Sidney comes back in the next film, I wonder how she will tie in with the plot? It was said that her, Mark and their kids went somewhere safe. Maybe Mark and Sid will come back to help the group? Mark was a detective so he has training. (Which is weird now that I think about it - he let Sidney go ALONE to Woodsboro in the last film?). Anyway, if Scream VII is truly the last film, Neve MUST be in it.

publikcitizen Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Nobody asked for this but here’s my Scream ranking. It’s mostly based on motives, how tense the set pieces are, and if I felt satisfied after watching the movie when it’s done. - Scream 2 (excellent horror sequel, really fun chase scenes and set pieces, motive was good if not simple, super tense, and great evolution of characters from 1) - Scream 1 (excellent horror franchise starter, very meta, perfect amount of tension throughout the movie, opening scene is one of the best, and deaths were memorable.) - Scream 4 (in my opinion a great motive and deranged ghostface, a nice prologue to the trilogy, clever opening, and a fun commentary on reboot. Annoying filter and editing in the third act was wonky) - Scream 3 (perfect closure for Sidney’s journey, enjoyed the Scooby-Doo style in some scenes, weakest opening, Sidney v Roman could’ve been done better) - Scream 6 (great set pieces, opening was amazing, writing was a little bit lazy and took the easy way out for some characters) - Scream 5 (a good return to form for the franchise, took a good risk with killing a legacy character, no chase scenes, motive was okay, setting was derivative, and some characters were underutilized) Scream 6 was good, but the writing for that movie was a little bit nonsensical. Idk if it was because of the editing or if they were lazy and hoped we wouldn’t think too much about how some things played out. I would’ve ranked it higher had the third act was done well and wasn’t afraid to let some characters actually die 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
