In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Scream VI G
Before the initial release, comparisons were made to Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan due to both
franchises (slasher ones) taking place in New York while the preceding entries
did not (I don’t recall any nods to that film, but I could swear there were at
least two to Jurassic Park). Whereas this film took place entirely in the
Big Apple, the Friday entry did not
(not even half the time). Jason Takes Manhattan is my least
favorite of the Friday franchise (I
don’t count the remake), but I didn’t feel that way about this entry for this
franchise. I liked it better than the
fifth one released last year (you can read my review for it in here---https://vampireclown82.blogspot.com/2022/01/last-night-in-sohoscream-2022.html)
and some of the other sequels. It follows some of the survivors from the
previous film as they’re now in New York instead of Woodsboro. In true slasher fashion, of course, they may
live somewhere else, but Ghostface will follow (as Ghostface is always someone
different behind the mask and can easily go anywhere in the world). [You will need to have seen the other entries
before this as there are spoilers, but, like always, why would you watch a
sixth film in a series before watching the preceding ones? My OCD would never allow it, even if some had
nothing to do with the others]. Sure,
some of this may be predictable (what do you expect from a slasher feature,
meta or not, in 2023?) and I feel they held back on some of the violence, but
they do still play around with the tropes at times, and considering how stale
the subgenre is by now (hell, how stale movies in general are by now), I enjoyed it enough to recommend it. As of now, a seventh entry isn’t confirmed
and I’m not exactly sure there needs to be one, but I didn’t think a sixth
entry for this franchise made in 2023 would be passable, so…4/26/2023
Other movies and TV show(s) I’ve seen and their ratings (see above):
Black Circle Boys >>>OK
Fear (2023) >>>B
Florida Man >>>EH
