I felt kind of offended when they insulted people that use Letterboxd.
The other problem that I had was that the concept of the Scream movies is overused and because of that the last two movies are predictable trash. The title "New York. New Rules" doesn't fit because there are no new rules it's still the same, there are 2/3 Ghostface killer most of the time, one of them is always a "friend" from the protagonist and the other one is a character from the outside which we barely see until the very end. This works for the first few movies of the franchise but it got stale fast and the result was that my friend and I guessed the identity, motive and even the relationship that the killer has to the protagonist half way trough the movie which is a bummer. Some character decisions in the final showdown are also really questionable, to say the least. But Scream 6 is not all bad, I think it's way better than Scream 5. The opening scene was cool and that there is a character who is watching Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan in a Scream movie which takes place in New York. I liked how they worked with the lightning in the scene with Ghostface in the subway, the cinematography of this scene was great. Sadly besides that Scream 6 doesn't really takes advantage of the new setting and the kills are also nothing special. I don't know why everyone is saying the kills are particularly gory. Not a single one stood out to me and there are many movies that are a lot bloodier.
So what's left? Another entry in the franchise that doesn't uses the New York setting and has no own ideas. But at least Jenna Ortega was great but sadly the ending not so much, again...I think it's about time that they sent Ghostface into space.
