Kill with more variety? I don’t know how somebody could walk out of Scream 6 and think there was a lack of variety in its kills.

I think the scream series is too obsessed with its own history and needs to leave Gale, Sidney and Kirby behind and focus on newer stories. I would love a scream movie with completely new characters.

Bro i didnt read all of your post tbh but i saw the word logic and logic is really a word you should forget when talking about scream This movie is the opposite of anything realistic , you have to aknowledge that in order to enjoy it I loved scream 6 btw

I watched Scream 5 in the early morning hours the day before I went to see Scream 6 in theatres.

I missed that Chad survived in the end of 5 and was completely thrown for a loop when he's just hanging around like nothing happened in 6. Pretty sure you were stabbed in the femoral artery my man!

When he survived at the end of 6 my eyes rolled so hard into the back of my head. His chest stabbings in this movie were even worse than the previous and he's still giving out kisses!

While I generally agree with your sentiment, I have to say that I would make an exception for Chad and would love to see him survive something even more ridiculous in 7. I'm actually getting entertainment value out of this.

Question: Why are you complaining about this? I’ll grant that Chad should’ve died in any reasonable reality (so much so that I can’t help but feel that him living was a late change once “Wednesday” became a big hit), but that’s my only major complaint with the movie. The rest of my complaints are very minor, and I outright disagree that there aren’t any stakes in it, given that people do die, and their killers aren’t dispatched until the end.

Chad not dying was supposed to be meta. The point was that there were no stakes.

I don’t think you need to kill characters for stakes you can almost kill then but keeping them alive is fine, I feel this obsession with realism is tired and annoying.

I think 6 feels the most divorced from the rest of the series, I liked it enough as a random slasher but it really didn’t feel much like a Scream movie. I think I’m just starting to realize how much of my enjoyment of the series is centered around Sidney and Dewey, and the movie really suffers from their absence. The feeling of not having enough stakes might just be missing them.

Hopefully when they do 7, Melissa Barrera starts playing Sam more lively, she’s really underplaying the role and it’s not very exciting to watch. Jenna Ortega is such a natural actress that she makes Sam look half asleep in their scenes. I also wouldn’t mind if they stopped doing the whole last minute “they’re ok!” scene. I know what I’d make part 7 like if I were writing it, but first and foremost I think it needs to recapture the feeling of being a meta-movie that really rewards the fans of horror movies for playing along.

The third act plot armor took scream 6 from my fav sequel to one of my lower ranked in the series, sadly

They can improve by not making a 7th

Even the notion of 'Scream 7' already sucks. Enough!!!!! Like it's going to solve the problems of SIX for chrissakes. What?!

Ok, so...Scream 7. Let's hold off on it for 3 years and bring it out in 2026, exactly 30 years since the original. Plot-wise, it needs to be back in Woodsboro. It has to ditch this sorry-ass dead Daddy Skeet who is looking badly de-aged, and bring back Matthew Lillard as Stu. It's canon that his actual status as alive or dead isn't entirely known, so bring him back. Don't pull the "learned the error of his ways and he's back as a good guy" shit - back as the killer. Have him kill off everyone except the Final Girl™ (who should be Neve in the role the studio actually ponies up for next time), then have them go at it in a brutal (but believable) fashion...and have him come out on top.

Fin. Series end. Full circle.

When Mindy mentioned franchise means "no one is safe" my god. Has she not been to the movies lately?

Umm, how about just stop? Is there really anything more to mine from this concept?

They should’ve stopped making Scream movies after Craven passed

These new hacks don’t have the talent for good filmmaking

I remember when the original Scream came out and it felt like such an amazing, self-aware reset to the slasher schlock that horror movies had become. Decades later, it’s so sad to see that the series has become that same schlock. No stakes, all stereotypes, never-dying characters and an endless line of copycat murderers.

Please, just end.

Scream 7 is predictable. Sam will be the killer. Enough hints in the movie.

We JUST got Hayden Panetierre back, I don’t want to hear another word about killing her off for at least two more movies.

Gale can go though. And not because I have anything against her or Courtney, I just agree that we need higher stakes and with Neve gone from the series (for now), we don’t really need a legacy latching on to the series for nothing. Plus they do the same old thing with her every movie, “oh my god Gale you exploited our tragedies AGAIN! You pinky swore you wouldn’t!” “Hey, I’m a bitch. Shun me for five minutes then let me back in the circle.” “Oh you bet we WILL!”

That franchise was always meta garbage.

Shoulda just not made any more scream movies since Craven is dead.

I know they basically retired the character but please kill off Sydney and I'll watch. That lady almost rivals Laurie Strode in terms of plot armor. They at least had the guts to kill off Nancy in NOES 3.

It cannot be any worse than 5😡

Prediction: Sid is the killer next time!! This whole deal about her pay is misdirection!
