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

One of Mark’s best modern reviews

[@simonstreep6552]

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.

[@simonstreep6552]

@@rocky8838 That's a great question... and I honestly don't know. I'd say 6 is probably most like 2 mixed with 5... so based on that, maybe you have a 50/50 chance of liking it. If you do end up watching, please reply with your thoughts, :)

[@iansmart4158]

Well I loved the first 4 KRAVEN movies but hated 5. Should I see it??

[@finger3181]

No. It's terrible.

[@zengamer21]

I thought 5 was completely forgettable. I also realized I'm just over seeing young girls get stabbed.

[@simonstreep6552]

@@iansmart4158 It probably depends what you didn’t like about 5. I personally have enjoyed them all, but view 3 and 4 as the weaker entries, even though there was stuff to like in both of them. Kermode jokingly made a reference to Scooby Doo, but I do think he’s hit the nail on the head of why I like it. I love a good ‘ol who’s under the mask mystery, and until they subvert the rules and ditch that particular conceit, I’ll probably enjoy these slasher whodunnits.

[@AntonBaumgartner]

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

[@wharsmetoothpicson9465]

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

[@H0lyMoley]

Disagree with this. (Unless we're talking about #3. In which case I agree wholeheartedly.) But in my opinion #6 was a really fun watch and the best Scream movie since #2, with some of the best writing and character work. Certainly better than #3, #4 and #5, without their structural issues (all three movies spent way too long on a basically pointless character who gets killed off at the end of the first act, dragging the movie out. #6 avoids this trap.) The thing is... if you're not into what Scream does, this movie isn't going to change your mind. Personally I really liked it, but if you don't, your reaction will probably be closer to Mark Kermode's. And that's fine. A lot of this is subjective. Objectively, I would say #6 is a better Scream movie than the last three just in terms of its writing, pacing, tension and horror elements. But again, that's not going to matter to anyone who isn't already a fan of the Scream movies.

[@danielthackeray9716]

That's what was said about Scream 3, 23 years ago!

[@Xinixie]

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

[@TrailerGuy]

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.

[@psychicblobfish5550]

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.

[@barrydaly7174]

Well I'm glad you wrote that I was just about to change my (Sick day) plan to go and see it this afternoon. I'll give it a go.

[@Dannyboy09047]

I agree. Just saw it a few hours ago and quite liked it. His criticism about people getting stabbed and not hurt is spot on though. It got somewhat ridiculous by the end on how easily people were jumping back up to run or fight after being stabbed (sometimes more than once). But that was my ONLY criticism of the film. I still really liked it overall. This Scream especially had me rooting for all the characters to survive. Usually in slasher flicks people are just fodder besides the established lead(s) but this time around I really liked almost every single character and got super tense when they were in jeopardy. But to each their own. He liked Smile and Black Phone and I thought those movies was cliched and nauseatingly dull. That’s why horror rules. There’s so many varieties that anybody can find one they enjoy.

[@eldante4139]

This has always been the way though and is probably reflective of how villains and characters in other slasher movies avoid similar fate. The idea is that Scream is a riff on the genre and not to be taken at face value and so some of its ridiculous nature can be excused. For example how many times does ghost face get clattered around the head and not once does it ever affect the killer. Not once do any of the suspects have subsequent head or face injuries. It’s always as if they were never attacked. And yet if you’ve been hit hard around the head with a blunt object you’ll at least be dazed. Ghost face always seems to have supernatural recovery skills from the off and yet the character isn’t a invincible beast or monster but instead just a masked psycho. It is ridiculous how one of the characters survives at the end but that kinda stuff is to be taken as part of the film whether you like it or not.

[@tomearle4599]

Saw it last night....for me, Mark was gentle. Contender for worst film of the year

[@jaymaxx3910]

100% agree. Its a GREAT movie. Maybe it's an age thing as they are older guys? Or simply not fans of the franchise.

[@carljthatsme94]

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

[@WhiteManBehindADesk]

Gutted to think that Mark is 100% right.

[@WhiteManBehindADesk]

[@stephencowie3358]

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.

[@jakesbeerroulette]

Episode 8 of season 3 of Twin Peaks is one of the finest things I have ever seen. Indeed, it may be the finest of them all.

[@looney1023]

I mean the original Scream literally had characters getting stabbed like crazy and getting up and fighting, and also had a murder that secretly wasn't a murder but a ruse. This one did those tropes well. Scream 6 was rad.

[@Altolin]

The fact they've become "tropes" is the problem.

[@eldante4139]

They’re meant to be tropes, they’re riffs on a genre and it’s a self identifying movie. I can’t think what the word is but it self identifies itself as being a saga, or series, or some other descriptive word part way through.

[@Altolin]

@@eldante4139 The first film worked because it was a fresh, smart, post-modern take on horror. You can't repeat the trick and keep the wit of the original as you become the very thing that you were riffing on in the first place thus asserting your redundancy.

[@TheMisterkafka]

I agree, it was really well done and also quite a departure. It also felt we spent more time getting to know the characters, which was ace.

[@gregoryward3552]

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

[@TimmysCreativeCelebrationHub]

The Scream series feels like a 90s thing....I've struggled to transition forward from that time period.

[@od8163]

I agree. The original scream works as a 90s 00s horror. But scream 6 really handled the modern era really well.

[@chrisparkes]

What I think stands out most about this new slate of sequels is how warmed over they feel in every department, but especially in the casting. The original Scream had such distinctive young actors in engaging characters. These new ones feel like fan fiction.

[@ddd-tu4qv]

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

[@GodMcQueen]

*Will need to check this one out, it seems.*

[@MacReady1980]

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.

[@medes5597]

The "I'm only interested in Ortega" comments aren't creepy at all. Please keep saying it. It's very normal.

[@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.

[@animaginaryboy2]

That was a wonderful Kermode rant!

[@LetsSCREAMTV]

Scream 6 was absolutely amazing, and I love how the movie didn't play on the Satb films like the other films and the plot and motive were purely on REVENGE. The opening scene, in my opinion, was one of the best since the first film. I would so it's up there, but the dialogue from the first one sets the tone by itself, that's what makes it iconic. But Scream 6 was GREAT! I feel that they shouldn't bring Sidney back and if they do I would hope they kill the majority of the new cast and their storyline - and bring in a new storyline to bring Sidney back. Other than that, leave her character alone and don't try to kill her off or bring her character back.

Mark sounds so exhausted talking about this movie.

[@rebalpengui]

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)!

[@eedoamitay3341]

The Scream franchise quickly devolved into the exact thing it was making fun of in the original. It became formulaic to the point of boredom now when we are watching these movies. We know there will be all the same beats and same tropes and same everything because unfortunately marketing teams knows thats what will sell the most tickets. The best way to have done a new movie that actually pays respect to the original, is to have a fresh take or at least a new twist on who the ghost face killer ends up being. The beginning of the this 6th movie ALMOST tried to give us a new spin on the genre, but it just went straight into the same pattern of a Scream movie. I hope some day we will get better than just average sequels to the originals that made movie history. Edit: the ONLY clever bit that I enjoyed was with Gale Weathers character and her trick with the phone, the movie needed WAY more of this type of clever writing

[@jaymaxx3910]

'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.

Honestly, I think the Good Doctor's review is too harsh. I found the plot easy to follow, I cared about all the characters, and I was never bored. Yes, Scream has always been meta, commenting on modern film trends, but I thought Scream VI handled the conversation deftly. And let's face it: criticising the lack of realism in a slasher film is a bit silly. Who expects realistic recoveries in a picture like this?

[@jamiescott-gobin3376]

The last one was ridiculous. I suppose all slasher horrors are to some degree but as a film it was great at all. Totally surprised they even had the bottle to make another.

[@glynquigley4364]

I tend to agree with Mark here. I have not watched this movie so will not speak to it's individual strengths or weaknesses but Scream originally worked brilliantly as a noted slasher director having a second go at lampooning the genre he excelled in. That was cool in the mid 90s but familiarity with slasher parodies (often inexpertly done) has certainly bred contempt in me.

[@justincoleman3805]

A slasher film where the killer goes to New York? So does most of the movie take place on a boat? Does it end in the sewer?

[@adrianace1725]

100% agree with Mark. To quote Mark Gatiss on horror franchises "All the endless sequels, remakes and reboots are like horror's equivalant of Dutch Elm Disease'. Absolutely tiresome and boring. Horror films are so dissapointing nowadays.

[@soft_core_punk]

As a Scream fanboy, I can say I enjoyed it slightly more than Mark did. It does feel like they're making these only for the fanbase now, which doesn't bother me, obviously. But it is true that it is a rehash of the same ideas for a different generation with a different view of the world and different references, and the people in the cinema with me were enjoying it a lot, with lots of gasps and laughs and guffaws and someone apparently impersonating a goat every time a jump scare happened. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it. And Mark is absolutely right to point out that characters can outlive anything. When in the original, every injury mattered and had big repercussions on the characters, in Scream 6, you know that if the head is intact, the body will heal itself quickly. Still, I had fun, if only for the goat.

[@DotcolourNorwich]

Mr Kermode’s being a bit harsh as it’s good fun, there’s a lot of tense scenes and it rips through its two hours. Granted it’s daft if you really dive into its logic but then it’s Scream 6 and I’d rather watch this again then sit through something like the incredibly dull The Babadook a second time

[@TheRobbieEffect]

When this movie finished my initial thoughts was wow, that was great. The action, kills, mystery is great, BUT. This movie falls apart in the final 20 minutes and here is why... Not ONE person who mattered died. Not one!!! Why is this critically important this time? Because it turns out the whole motive was cold hard revenge, and yet who did they kill......2 at the start who had nothing to do with Richie's death, 2 people in a shop unrelated to his death, one of their college friends unrelated to his death. They literally did not kill anyone who had any involvement with their motive. This is a massive oversight and makes them the worst ghost face killers of all time. All the 'core 4' surviving was silly anyway, but when you add the motive in, it makes absolutely zero sense. This is a great film up until the last 15 minutes where it just completely falls apart. Also, how can 3 ghostfaces be so ruthless yet as soon as the masks come off at the end they are pathetic and get dominated by 2 little girls. Should have had at least 1 of the sisters die along with another of the 4. 9/10 first 90 mins. 2/10 last 25 mins.

[@ktownshutdown21]

I get why people like these movies, but Scream has always been a massively overrated franchise from the very beginning. The "meta commentary" has always been overstated and not nearly as clever as people think it is, and there's never really been a mystery element to any of them; no one ever figures out anything, stuff just happens for 90 or so minutes until the killer arbitrarily unmasks themselves and gives a hammy monolouge about why they did it. It's a formula, and people like their formula. And again, fine, I don't begrudge that. But these have never been more than glorified B-movies.

[@willknight3516]

I love scream a lot, I really thought this one was great, and even a considerable step up from the last one. I think this time it’s less about the film on its own and more about whether or not you think a scream 6 should even exist. If you don’t, I doubt this’ll do much to suede you, and that’s fine, don’t watch it if you don’t want to. But if you’re a genuine fan of these movies, I think it’s got about as much dumb shit as any of the others do, but overall it’s a real treat

And Scream 6 is one of the worst horror films I've ever seen. I will never watch another Scream installment ever again for as long as I live. It completely ruined the franchise for me. After I finished watching the movie, I held my ghostface mask over my trash can trying to determine whether to just be done with it entirely. But I still kept it, for some reason, probably nostalgia. I will watch the first film again, as I still love it and it gets better with each watch, but the other films in the scream franchise do not exist as far as I'm concerned and I will never give them the time of day ever again.
