Scream VI is bloody fun, but only half as sharp as it thinks it is, and in desperate need of Neve Campbell
franchise’s one-time audience surrogate Randy put it in the very first film, rules to a slasher movie. The sexually promiscuous are punished, the virginal “final girl” makes it to the end, the bad guy is always the one you least suspect. And as any student of the genre knows, those rules get tossed out the window – defenestrated with bloody abandon – once the sequel machine kicks in.
After taking over the franchise from series mastermind Kevin Williamson with 2021′s confusingly titled, the team of co-directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and co-writers Guy Busick and James Vanderbilt are back with their half-ambitious, half-aggravating mission. The group’s approach is clever in that quiet “huh, clever” kind of way, as opposed to an “oh, quite clever!” exclamation.
Aside from Samantha’s serious cases of post-traumatic stress, everyone seems mostly fine to leave their pasts behind in Woodsboro, site of the first five films’ massacres. But as can happen, the past ain’t done with them, and soon enough a new Ghostface is on the scene in New York, targeting Samantha and Tara’s friends until the two sisters are the last ones standing.
