If you thought the subway scenes might have been anxiety-inducing for our characters, there are others in the film that the footage does not seem to show. I cannot imagine the efforts that Plewes and her costuming team had made to color up the screen. Then again, even John Carpenter’s Halloween franchise had a few installments released somewhere within the month of August. It does seem unusual to put out a horror film set in this specific part of the year during the month of March. This was made evident since the first teaser for the film was released. Mind you, Scream VI takes place during Halloween time, a festive period before the holiday season when people of all ages dress up in costume. I also believe that it could be Breton and Nepton’s extras that pack themselves into the frames here and there. Even the opaque window in a certain character’s front door as well as the living room that serves as an office are good. The latter consists of glass cases containing objects that killed the franchise’s numerous victims, along with mannequins on a stage to exhibit the different appearances that the serial killer put on throughout the years in ’96. The bodega scene and the Ghostface shrine museum are prime examples of this. It could just be Laliberté et al’s set pieces and set decorations that lend to the deluge of minutiae that fill up the frames. Jutkiewicz’s cinematography is a major improvement from the previous film. Scream (2022), then, scrutinizes those on social media who are “chronically online”. Scream 4 revitalized the franchise with fresh takes regarding digital technology’s realistic negative effects on society. This was another idea that I had a feeling would happen. Scream VI‘s entirety, from its opening scene onward, continues to veer the franchise in a whole new direction. Such is the case with this new Ghostface killer who possesses a fixation on Samantha “Sam” Carpenter (Melissa Barrera). Extrapolating what we know about stans, this fascination toward a film, franchise, or figure is enough to drive anyone mad. Similar to what Don Mancini did with Cult of Chucky (2017) leading into his Chucky television series, Scream VI establishes-or at the very least, builds up to-a chilling conspiracy organization. As I had expected, we are never done with toxic fandoms, or in other words, “stan culture”. Still, I believe it is in my best interest to strike a balance, and I feel that the film is stronger for it.įirst of all, the film’s opening scene and the kill(s) thereof showcase the previous film’s deviation from what is normal. Of course, going too far into matters would mean discussing spoilers, and that is not what we are here to do. On the other hand, there are some minor details that need to be addressed. Although, I do not find that to be a detriment to the narrative. Even with its impressive marketing through countless creative posters, it has so much more of New York City to explore. This new installment has more territory to traverse than in Woodsboro, a college campus in Ohio, or Hollywood itself. Personally, Scream VI might be my favorite film in Craven’s beloved slasher horror meta-mystery franchise. Pictured from left to right: Samantha “Sam” Carpenter (Melissa Barrera) and her younger sister, Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega), survive another Ghostface attack in Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett’s slasher horror mystery thriller film, ‘Scream VI’. Nonetheless, please read ahead at your own discretion. There will be no spoilers present, as the title of this article suggests. In this review, I will be discussing Radio Silence’s Scream VI/ Scream 6. If you haven’t yet seen last year’s installment or want to avoid spoilers from that, watch the film and/or read my spoiler-free review. I finally got the chance to see it myself, and it is extravagant in its own right. James Vanderbilt ( Darkness Falls, Zodiac, The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel, White House Down, Murder Mystery) and Guy Busick ( Ready or Not, Castle Rock) return to pen the screenplay of this slasher horror mystery thriller. The Radio Silence team ( V/H/S, Southbound, Ready or Not)-co-directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett-is back with a new Scream film nearly fourteen months following their fifth franchise installment, Scream (2022).
