Shelter Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 9 hours ago, ebaby said: the Scream 5 Billy hallucinations and Scream 3 (the whole film) are the two worst things to happen to the franchise it was so I better not see any hallucinations in 6, like we get it It was god awful. I agree. Great to see estimates up, it's normally front loaded on the Friday. Hopefully it can open bigger than 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted February 25, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted February 25, 2023 I really think had they done the hallucinations in a different way they could have been effective. Like if Billy was taunting, menacing and using really dark humor and the whole element wasn’t taken so so seriously, I think it might have actually been fun. I don’t think it was as egregious as some make it out to be, but definitely the weakest part of the film in my mind. That being said, I think it was only meant to be a narrative device for one film. It was the external exemplification of Sam’s inability to reconcile her parentage and mistakes, all of which she comes to terms with and accepts by the end of the movie. So it wouldn’t make a lot of sense if she kept seeing Billy after (plus it is pretty much universally agreed that no one liked the hallucinations, so I think they definitely course corrected for VI.) Can’t believe we’re 12 days away, I can hardly contain my excitement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Scream 3 was the best one. Super hilarious. Loved the two Gale Weathers. I can rewatch that one over and over again. The first 2 are great but no replay value for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin2803 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I will not allow this Scream 4 slander in here. Jill's whole motive was ahead of its time and is still relevant, maybe even more now.

Chris Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Why do people care about motives so much? Just enjoy the movies for what they are. It makes me cringe so hard how people type literal essays about how certain things "don't make sense" and all these other conspiracy theories. Like go outside.

I had zero interest in Roman as a character in 3, was not at the edge of my seat or shocked when he was revealed like I was with Jill, did not care when he died For a character that's Sidney's literal brother we have zero pay off or investment as an audience to his character. he's the worst ghostface by far, and the retconning him to be the mastermind behind the first movie's killings was cheap and also had zero pay off. meanwhile with Jill and Sidney we get an iconic "don't f*** with the original" moment which feels earned. This is someone Sidney tried to protect the whole movie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood exactly. like hello part of what makes the franchise what it is, is the "whodunit" aspect and the reveal of who Ghostface is...along with their motives... to me that's what has always set Scream apart from Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street etc. is the fact that the killer could be anyone we've already encountered in the film and finding out why. 4 has a bloom effect that I guess the atrl'ers on here can't handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's what we're theorizing throughout each film. Who, from the friend group, is Ghostface and WHY. The final act literally has to do with the motive. 36 minutes ago, ebaby said: Scream > Scream 2 > Scream 4 > Scream 5 > Scream 3 Almost perfect. Switch 5 with 3 and it's the perfect ranking. Scream 5 truly aged like milk, it has no replay value, actually upon watching again, I keep realizing how bad it was. That final act was truly awful. At least 3 is fun and it actually does have great reply value. For me, it Scream > Scream 2 > Scream 4 = Scream 3 >>>> Scream 5 As far as Ghostface Billy = Stu = Mrs Loomis > Jill > Romen > Mickey > Charlie > Richie > Doofy > Ray > Bobby >>>>>. >> Amber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dman4life Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I enjoyed Scream 5 but two things REALLY bothered me about it. 1. The alternating daytime and night-time scenery that led up to and after the hospital scene. 2. The final act when Sam was struggling with Richie. Did Sidney and Gale not hear the struggle and think to help? My guess is the two struggles (Sam vs Richie, Sid and Gale vs Amber) were meant to be happening simultaneously but the editors did a piss poor job in portraying that. The way Sidney and Gale just casually stroll out of the kitchen after Sam was literally fighting for her life was just...a choice This is why S5 absolutely cannot be Neve's last entry in the franchise, it just can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConceptD Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 Idc what anyone says scream 4 is the best sequel. Scream 6 looks super promising, but 4 despite its flaws managed to really capture the suburban slasher vibe that makes the original so good.
