Mark Kermode reviews Scream VI - Kermode and Mayo’s Take

#MarkKermode #SimonMayo #FilmReviews

In the next installment, the survivors of the Ghostface killings leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter in New York City.

They are 100% gonna parody this in Scream 7 😂

I feel sorry for kids today relying on their smart phones and social media not knowing what a truly awesome experience it was to go to the cinema 20 years ago because they weren't even born yet.

I’ve watched the movie and seen loads of reviews for it, and I think people’s opinions mainly boil down to one thing… If you’re a general fan of the whole franchise, you’ll enjoy this - and, you might even think it’s one of the better ones. If you dialled out after the first film, then you’ll likely dial out of this one too. I thought it was loads of fun.

Did I watch the same film as Mark did? Scream VI is probably one of the most entertaining installments in the franchise and feels like a really fun love letter to giallo films with a splash of modern social commentary. It's been a while since I've had so much fun at the cinema! Some of the set pieces had me at the edge of my seat.

Love how Mark sounds like a professor, but looks like a depressed nerd with his TWIN PEAKS shirt

Loving your Twin Peaks t-shirt Mark. Got me thinking, there are episodes of Twin Peaks (Lynch ones) that are genuinely more scary than any of the last few Scream movies.

Saw this as a double bill with Scream 5 last night and as a fan of the franchise I loved it and think it’s one of the better ones personally

Scream has become the thing that the first movie was a refreshing antidote to.

Mark laughing to the sudden dejected and sighed "okay" was all that was necessary.

[WhiteManBehindADesk]

Gutted to think that Mark is 100% right.

I was slightly “meh” on the killer reveal in this one as it’s always going to be some variation of a new character with slightly convoluted motives but at the end of the day that’s not why I’m watching! I thought this balanced tension and laughs well with the token Scream + Horror references and subversions. I cared a lot more about our newer characters to the point where I was weened off the need for those legacy cameos. Very successful outing for the 6th in a franchise and excited to see how this new trilogy ends (presumably with a much higher body count)!

[psychicblobfish]

Uh, this seemed strangely harsh. The original Scream is one of my favorite movies, and even though this new one definitely had its issues I really enjoyed it overall. No it's not nearly as good as the original, but I still had a blast with it and liked the characters for the most part.

[gavinmaitland]

is there a new one ALREADY? Didn't one literally just come out?!!

[carljthatsme]

The reveal was a little limp, but to be honest, I think the series is in a stronger place than ever.

[reelred]

Oh I think it has so much more going for it!

[MacReady]

Main thing that struck me whilst watching (which I’m happy you mentioned Mark) is how these people get stabbed and then straight away they’re ok! A character (I won’t name who) I swear got stabbed in the back and then the knife comes out and she is fighting someone and kills them ALL without a hint of pain! This happens constantly and consistently through this film! Very disappointed in this film and part 5. Missing Wes Craven desperately I feel.

I've been a huge fan of the first four movies for years. HUGE. I find Scream 5 and 6 to be absolutely atrocious.

[darrylmars]

I was at the Scream 2 premiere & saw Neve, as beautiful an actress as we've ever seen. Still wondering how much crack the person who did her hair & make up that night had smoked, it was that weird. "I couldn't spoil this film if I tried" says it all.

[jaymaxx]

'Not really bothered with Scream since the 1st one'... Eek! Not a great start! Scream 2 was epic dudes! Iconic in fact. This latest instalment is fresh, clever, violent and a huge hit in my view. This is my 3rd favourite from the franchise followed by Scream (the original), Scream 2.

He is right I was surprised at the lameness of the movie when a the reviews were so glowing.
