At my showing when Chad was wheeled out at the end with a paramedic going "We have another one!" some older guy up front threw up his arms and yelled out "Oh come on!" which drew quite a round of laughter from the crowd. 😄

I like the opening scene but it would've been cool to see a Scream movie where one of the killers is revealed from the start and we see them infiltrate the friend group. It would've also given us the chance to see one of the protagonists actually kill/unmask Ghostface before the finale

Even though I loved the movie I can say Chad had some unbelievable plot armor the biggest plot armor in a recent horror movie so far.

The only vague explanation I can think of with Ethan helping Mindy on the train is that he saw she was still alive and didnt want to risk looking suspicious by just leaving because if she survives and mentions that Ethan was with her and just left, that would make him very suspicious.

I honestly figured it out when Quinn was talking about her dead brother. I was like, “Welp, that was Ritchie” 😂

I was so upset at the chad living decision because I actually felt something when chad was “killed” and I felt like that was just a cheap move by the creators of the film. Quite angering

The "?" next to Stu's name was also next to Mickey's. I don't think its questioning whether he's dead or not, but rather questioning where his mask is at since it hasn't been dropped yet at that point.

I actually laughed out loud in the cinema when the main killer charges at Sam instead of shooting her with the gun he clearly had in his hand...

The only killer that was SUPER OBVIOUS to me was Ethan. If my roommate explained to me, "There's a killer after me and he'll kill me and everyone associated with me!" my reaction wouldn't be to continue to tag along with them! Especially if said murders began to happen to their other roommates. Watching the movie, Ethan kept coming back to join them and I kept thinking, "WHY ARE YOU HERE!? WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?" Obviously, to kill them himself! But nothing irritated me more than, after the unmasking, everyone was suddenly a moustache-twirling cackling Villain of the Week -- Laughing maniacally and acting all crazy and shit... I mean obviously if you plan to murder others, you've got a level of crazy to you, but you don't have to go full Zaney. Last gripe: Sam stabs Ethan like, 6 times in the chest before being chased up onto that balcony... but minutes later, Ethan is under Tara, swinging his knife around and cackling like a moron. Like, stabbing doesn't seem to matter at all in this movie unless it suddenly does. It drove me crazy.

I do think Nancy Loomis had the best Ghostface reveal because she had the element of surprise behind her. Yes you could suspect her being the GF, with how she acts around Gale and whatnot. But the reveal was about her being Billy's mother and using a different alias entirely, rather than knowing if she was GF or not. Which first time viewers wouldn't know. Since they don't really give much hints at her being Billy's mother. Plus Mickey as her accomplice with his own motive as well really helped since it was used as a way to draw off suspicion to herself, as Mickey doing the bulk of the kills allowed us to draw off attention to her. With Scream 6, they throw way too many hints that it is somehow connected to Richie, especially with how much of Sam's GF calls were using Richie's number. Plus DetectIve Bailey was too obvious! I do like Scream IV a lot tough, it is up there for my favorite film of the franchise. It is probably below the original to me. To be fair, I always saw the killer's Ghostface persona as having some amount of powers of its own, since once they are revealed, a lot of their reflexes, speed and whatnot go away.

I laughed out loud when Officer Bailey ran towards Sam with a gun in his hand while she ran towards him with no weapon lol

There're so many inconsistencies to Detective Bailey's involvement on top of Gale not discovering Richie' Parents are. At least for Scream 2, Sydney has met Billy's Mom in the past which adds more depth to the Loomis and Prescott lore. Richie's involvement wasn't that deep with Sam since she never met any of Richie's family, and for them to suddenly jump in for revenge doesn't do as well as Scream 2 killer motive.

As a New Yorker, I just wanna explain that the three day Halloween celebration thing is realistic. It’s Halloweekend, costumes the whole weekend, drinks the whole weekend. That’s why there’s the party + people still on costumes on the subway. Awesome vid tho

Here’s something they could do to make the killer reveal more interesting: Make the killer someone from a previous movie, because if you think back through all the scream movies, they’ve never done that. It’s always been someone who’s introduced in that movie

The worst part for me was how the cop was able to swap out Quinn’s body after her “murder”??? That’s fucking ridiculous.

The best way I described this movie to my friend was "It starts out amazing, and with each 15 minute interval progressively gets WORSE. Considering what some characters go through and survived I wouldn't be surprised if Dewey was alive after all."

In regards to the Ethan helping Mindy in the subway scene , to me it feels like there was a deleted scene where after the paramedics arrived he tried to finish the job a bit later or something along the same lines. Only reason I'm thinking this is because at the end when Mindy reappears , she says Ethan and Detective Bailey are the Killers, even though in the subway scene she apologies to him for thinking he was the killer . Just my train of thought anyway 🙌😂

Scream 3 grows on me more with every rewatch. Weak opening and reveal but so entertaining. Gale and "Gale" are everything!

How come nobody in the police force knew that Ritchie was Bailey’s son?! He never introduced his son to his friends and colleagues?! How come Kirby never found about it I’m the FBI database?! So weird! Lol! And Quinn was about to play dead her whole life?!

No, you're not alone. It was PAINFULLY obvious he was the killer. My eyes were rolling the entire damn film because of it. It was easy to pinpoint Quinn because we never saw her actually get stabbed and if her father is a killer, it stands to reason she is too. And it was easy to pinpoint Ethan because he was the only character wearing plaid. At least one killer in each movie always wears plaid. Billy, Mrs. Loomis, Roman, Jill, Charlie and Richie... All in plaid, all killers.

Ughhhh - those Dermot Mulroney line deliveries. I felt the same way about ’em. The Psycho 2 reference between Mindy and Kirby got a huge pop out of me. Definitely would have handled the Chad stabbing differently. I also would have loved seeing him kill one of the Ghostfaces during that scene.

I don't think you're alone on predicting the killers, because I called it about 30 minutes in. What tipped me off was the killer saying, basically forget your movie while killing the dude in the opening. This tipped me off that this would be a revenge plot. Then, Dermot Mulroney's daughter said she had a dead brother and her dad just joined the NYPD when she started college. Gee, ain't that convenient. The 3rd dude was just obvious.

I did have a problem with how does no one know what Richie’s family look like, why was Ethan helping Mindy after she got stabbed, and why did Dermott Mulroney not shoot Sam lol. Still a very enjoyable 4 out of 5 stars for me though.

The bit about Stu being the one that killed Dewey and (almost) Gale actually sounds plausible. I also think everything is pointing to Stu being the mastermind and the Ghostface for the next movie.

Screams 5 & 6 paralleling Screams 1 & 2 was something that i noticed as well, but my thoughts were that they might be setting up Tara as Scream 7’s big twist Ghostface. It would be easier to make her make sense from a writing perspective as someone who masterminded the events of 5 & 6, and there’s even the half-sibling parallel that wouldn’t be there with Stu.

As a huge fan of the original, I think my problem with these movies (the newer Screams) is that I give them the benefit of the doubt and I’m like “No they won’t do that, that’s far too obvious” and then I find myself rolling my eyes when the killer is revealed. The reveal in this movie really tainted the rest of the film for me. Great points you highlighted here!

I am 100% here for the Stu is Alive theory now after hearing your ideas on it. Also love the "Dale and Gewey" slip

In regards to Ghostface standing over Quinn. I thought that was weird too, but I was thinking that was probably just Ethan waiting for Quinn to get off the phone until they do the whole fake killing thing, and then he hears Quinn’s fuck buddy and he leaves to kill him.

Love these in depth spoiler reviews Cody. They’re an hour long but you just fire off the plot synopsis and your thoughts in a clear and concise way. Great vid and I’m willing to bet your Scream 7 prediction will come to fruition.

Couple of things. 1, Gale was emboldened because she finally felt she had control in her apartment against ghost face, which explains why she was brave enough to clear her home; also remember she was a reporter, not a trained PMC. 2. What if Stu is alive, but helps the Carpenter sisters out of respect for Billy. Ghost Face vs Ghost Face action in 7? 3. Keep it up man!

Honestly this was the most fun I’ve had in a movie theater in a long time. The audience was so into it, gasping and laughing when necessary. It was just so enjoyable and it probably tints my view of the film but I do currently have it as my favorite scream sequel purely based on enjoyment and the fact that I loved the core four. I do understand where you’re coming from. Your reviews are always great and thorough.

The ghost reveal was very obvious to me too! I first suspected Quinn when she mentioned she lost a brother. Then Quinn being the detectives daughter. I kind of figured they were Richies family out for revenge. Just like scream 2. I was not convinced Quinn was dead since they didn’t show it.

7:18 I love Chad! He’s probably my favorite of the 4 new leads and especially in this movie. I just love his attitude, like for example when they find out that Ghostface is back and Sam’s boyfriend is with them and he’s just like “ok handsome dude bye bye get the fuck out.” 😂

Cody really appreciate your well thought out pros and cons thank you for speaking up and saying things we fans see but what many other RU-vidrs are afraid to express

I actually guessed the killer's in Scream 5 from the trailers and posters. I'm usually good at predicting who the bad guy is for movies but I had no clue who it was in Scream VI. I originally thought it was maybe Stu because I noticed the hints they threw in this movie but ruled out Ethan because of the Subway scene it made no sense to me. I didn't really notice all the silly moments in the third act because I thinking why did Ethan help Mindy. I also was not surprised that Chad survived. I just had a feeling at the end. I agree he should have died based on how much he was stabbed, plus all of the time that he was laying there bleeding out.

I think you got this 100% accurately. I too was wondering if this was the best sequel until the scene in Gale's apartment. The moment when we didnt see her definitively die, i knew she'd survive and i groaned. Right then I knew there wasn't going to be any stakes in the film. It nosedived at the end of that scene for me.

On the first plot hole regarding the apartment, I thought it would have been revealed later on that someone had been recording/monitoring the Core 4 specifically thinking that Sam was the killer and was trying to catch her in the act. That would have played to the social outcast/paranoia themes presented in the early going, and it would have made sense at that point for the killers to use that to their advantage in the case that maybe one of them got outed/revealed that a death wasn't actually true. It never got mentioned again, which sucks because I feel that could have really elevated the idea that the world has got it out for Sam and that she's really in a bind due to the online element, and for me would have made that scene make a lot more sense in hindsight.

The reveal was absolutely obvious!! You’re the only one who really mentioned this, people just aimlessly watch without actually listening maybe that’s why they enjoyed it so much!

Gotta love an hour long Cody video

Regarding Gale's investigative skills in regards to Richie's family. Remember Richie's name was Richie Kirsch in Scream 5 --- My theory is that Richie actually changed his last name. It's possible that Gale never found out about Richie's father or his siblings, because Richie's last name was either fake or his mom's maiden name and his background info was either fake or incomplete. Meanwhile, I think Detective Wayne Bailey's last name is actually Bailey... This explains why Ethan changes his name to Ethan "Landry". So that he wasn't connected to Detective Bailey and his daughter. It wouldn't make sense for Ethan to change his identity from Kirsch to Bailey, only to change it again to Landry. It's much more likely that Richie changed his last name or had a different last name, hence disconnecting him from his father's side of the family. I can't explain every plothole lol but that's one thing I can probably try to forgive

I watched 5 and 6 with my husband, a casual fan. He knew it was Richie from scene 1. He knew it was the cop when he said "you fuck with my family, yada ,yada. " REALLLLLLY hate how they fake killed Quinn, to fake this persons death , completely took the movie out of any sense of reality. Scream 5 was irratating and 6 truly pissed me off!

I thought Quinn was the most obvious characters was because when she said I had a brother that died I was going like that sounds like a killer motive

Over an hour… this should be good. The more I think about this movie the more painfully average it becomes. 2.5/5 at best.

First of all, great vid. Very in-depth. For me, the amount of people surviving brutal stab wounds was the biggest problem with this movie. It really bugged me by the end. I'm mixed on the plotholes that you spotted though.. 1) I didn't mind the killers continuing to act in character when they were alone with each other. I can imagine the leader really drumming it into them the importance of not slipping up even once during this film. I bet he made the others stay in character even at the dinner table in the weeks leading up to the film's events. Detectives are sticklers for detail. 2) Gail not recognising Bailey is hard to explain away. Would she have definitely seen him before though? I'm not 100% tbh so I can just about let it go 3) I think the killer meant to kill Mindy on the train, and when he didn't, I think he panicked and went back into geek character, just in case some of her friends were running up on the platform. I might need to see this scene again tbh. I think Ethan's indecisive behaviour here though would make more sense in the real world than in a movie (where generally character actions are supposed to be clear cut and easy to follow). 4) Sam allowing the leader the chance to get up and having one last end game was pure bullshit. Totally agree

You forgot perhaps the two biggest plot holes that I noticed right away,firstly how did Ghost Face enter the apartments everytime,I mean these are not houses,it's NY city most buildings have door men,especially a fancy place like Gale's,I presume you can't just walk in,and secondly how did the cop swap his daughter with some random body and no one noticed,I agree,great film right up to those 20 min,sadly.

Despite Chad surviving I really love that moment of two Ghostfaces attacking a victim on screen at once. I said "let's go!" in the theater and felt the stares so I added "Sorry Chad" after lol.

Question: Kirby got to the shrine earlier and set up the trap, and said she swept the building and that there was no other entrances. So how exactly did the two ghost faces who were on the train get into the building? Unless there was a secret entrance?

The opening scene and the crawling across the ladder were the best bits plus Gale saying hold please loved. Overall really good addition .

The question mark by Stu's face on the white board was a reference to Roman being involved in the Billy/Stu plan.

First off I'd like to thank you for being awesome and covering this movie for an entire hour, that's true dedication. Secondly no, you are not the only one who had solved the "Mastermind" Ghostface, I also was pretty certain of it. Lastly here are my pros and cons to this film and fans who have seen this film, let me know if you agree or disagree Spoilers Obviously !!!!!!!!! Pros -Tara and Sam as the lead characters -The Setting -The increased gore -The entire Subway Scene (really well done and amps up the anxiety factor) -The Billy Loomis visions (He was my favorite Ghostface along Stu so maybe some bias here lol) Cons -While kills got gorier, I was expecting more creative kills to take place by the time of a 6th movie and it didn't happen -Chad came off unnecessarily aggressive towards everyone when it came to protecting Tara -The whole Chad and Tara Romance thing -Scream 6 erases the growth that Gale went through in Scream 5 and she goes back to being the annoying journalist -Identities and motivations of Ghostafaces (With Scream being incredibly self aware I was hoping that they would pick up on who the obvious choices for the killers were and instead go for something bold and creative but I guess not) -Detective Bailey (Incredibly dull, boring and generic) -By far my least favorite thing in this movie is how getting stabbed no longer means anything, everyone is surviving and running around despite being stabbed many times or stabbed real deep (A prime example of this would be how we come to find out Chad is perfectly fine after Scream 5 and how he also somehow survives the events of Scream 6)

I didn't mind the reveal being obvious. I think we were supposed to at least guess Bailey as part of the fun. That's how I took it. Most of the killers, right back to Billy, have ALWAYS been obvious.

The reveals were silly. Nothing convincing or remotely intimidating about them when the mask comes off. These dorks and small girls being Ghostface are getting predictable. The first 3 Scream movies match the Ghostface we see on screen. They were all convincingly unhinged and imposing with the mask off. It’s a Horror movie, not Scooby Doo

I believe that Stu very much could be alive. In Scream 5 they have Dewey mention that Stu “IS” a killer not “WAS” & they made it intentional to point out that Stu was the 2nd killer in the opening. Then in Scream 6 aside from Kirby and Mindy’s talk about Stu possibly being alive they had Ghostface tell Gale something along the lines of We haven’t officially spoken to each other. Yeah that could be Quinn but I don’t think it is. Also if you rewatch Dewey’s death scene and listen carefully it’s not Amber he’s fighting. Dewey is walking Richie to the door when Ghostface attacks. The grunts that are coming out of Ghostface when Dewey is fighting him off at the hospital are Male. I think Stu killed Dewey in Scream 5 & since nether her not Richie knew who that was Amber took the credit of killing Dewey. Stu also tried to kill Gale in her chase scene and almost succeeded. In the first Scream Stu knew she was in his home but never interacted with Gale. Tatum kicked her out seconds later hence “We never officially spoke to each other” comes in. Maybe I’m off but it wouldn’t surprise me if Stu isn’t focused on anyone new and is just going after the original trio each time a new Ghostface appears. In Scream 5 no one was REALLY after Sidney, Gale, or Dewey. Dewey just got involved with Sam’s situation and both Sidney & Gale put themselves in that situation after his death.

I agree with you pretty much 100% down the line with everything. My wife and I thought they really dropped the ball by not having Sam keep the mask at the end. Really could’ve made things interesting for the next movie. Also about the motive, I know I have to suspend disbelief but they want me to believe that the entire family is insane killers? You would think that prior to Richie getting killed, at least none of the children have killed anyone. So now Richie is killed they all turn into Ghostface killers? Naaaah And not sure if it matters but Mindy at the end did say she was hopped up on a ton of drugs and that’s why she didn’t feel any pain from the stab wound.

And as for Quinns bedroom scene. I'm thinking she was on the phone with her dad and could have been talking about anything. All she says is "I know she's my roommate, but you're like....the police!". So there's context we're missing. I think her and Ethan may have planned it. Or maybe she didn't know Ethan was there. GF goes in the bathroom, he kills Quinns boyfriend who was showering. Then came out, put the prosthetic slit throat piece on Quinn bringing her up to speed, took the pics to send to the core 4 and the rest plays out. Again, I'm just looking for answers cause stuff like this bothers me too lol This whole scene reminded me of when stu fake kills Billy and we were convinced he's was dead.

First time to this channel love it and I’m now a subscriber. To the 3rd plot hole… the idea behind him saving her, was for social media and should him and the family accomplish their mission portrays him as a hero // helpful. They intended to keep Sam as the killer per the conspiracies.

Hopefully in S7 the sisters wont have another argument. So annoying every time Tara yells at Sam. 😜

on why ethan would not want to reveal his identity as a GF to Mindy after she gets stabbed: She's obviously still alive, so if Ethan acts like GF, she could either tell the cops (when a bystander on the subway inevitably notices her injury gets her help) and call/text everyone to let them know about Ethan, which gives him away and takes away a lot of the power that GFs have by being unidentified. I think it makes perfect sense for him to keep up the charade if he's not 100% sure that she's going to die (which he wasn't) before she gets help or contacts her friends.

I completely agree that the final act after the reveal tanked this movie. My wife and I like to speculate on who we think will be the killer and even debate the evidence given. I suggested to her early in the movie that the cop guy was the killer because he has access to all the evidence and he’s old enough to spend decades collecting it. I was desperately hoping I was wrong. The only thing diverting my attention from the cop and daughter being the ghost faces, was the constant evidence building to Stu possibly coming back. It felt really cheap like a bait n switch. They drew our attention to Stu being the killer on multiple occasions then gave us the weakest, flimsiest motives and killers of the whole franchise. To add to your valid list of gripes. I hated that the sisters were chillin on the stage talking while Kirby was bleeding out nearby, especially knowing they did it for that bullshit final scare.

I actually called Quinn and Ethan the first time I saw them. Quinn said something about “I like variety.” And I took that to meaning “Oh so she likes killing a bunch of different people.” And I chose Ethan because he was too shy and innocent. Very shallow reasons, but in the end when they were revealed I was happy lol.

If the writers decided to make the killer the “hookup/ boyfriend” instead of Quinn, it could potentially have cleared up some plot holes.The Quinn scene would’ve potentially eliminated suspension of him since he took the picture and sent it to Sam. Ethan still could’ve killed her since he was “at class”. This also fixes the height and strength issues with Gale’s scene (where she’s should’ve died, but she didn’t die in scream 2 and followed that plot beat) Once Sam tells him off because he’s not core woodsboro, that gives him more leeway come the third act.

The Subway sequence was one of the best in the franchise! Amazing! ... Also, I'm a doctor & deep stab wounds are not usually considered to be a major injury and can often be treated at home. Be sure and rest and drink plenty of fluids. Dr. Dale Gewey

This is why I subscribed to your channel during the Dexter reboot. Spot-on analysis. And you didn't edit out "Dale and Gewey". Great job. Thank you.

The shower scene ruse with Quinn on the phone is for NotPaul with the great ears. We could hear him yelling from the shower which meant he could hear everything perfectly

“and its flash from spiderman” my exact reaction i cant separate the actor and that character 😂

None of Scream 6 was filmed in New York. It was all filmed in Montreal, Quebec. The college they filmed at was McGill University and the subway was actually a metro station and the convenient store was what they call a Depanneur in French. The downtown shots were downtown Montreal and some others in a nearby borough.

Your Stu break down is 1000% on point.

I have a strong feeling that isn't really Richie's family, and that's why Gale didn't recognize Detective Bailey. That's why it is so deliberate. It's probably the cult of Ghostface storyline, which in the next movie it will reveal Danny (hot guy) as a Ghostface as well in addition to Stu. Since now they probably trust him. This could fix some of your issues with the 3rd act. I was very annoyed with the plot armor of all the returning characters. Love hearing your thoughts!

I did figure out Richie was the killer in the previous very fast, but I didn’t think it was the detective. I had my thoughts later in the movie of course like I do with everyone, but that didn’t cross my mind that soon. I think you might just be really good at figuring this stuff out.

I figured the scene where ghostface is standing over Quinn in bed is just those two preparing for killing everyone in the apartment. With Quinn at that moment pretending to talk on the phone while Ethan is waiting for them to start

In Mindy's commentary about horror sequels, she clearly tells them they aren't just in a sequel anymore, they're in a franchise. I immediately went to the Fast and Furious cos the characters there have plot armor. That's why I just went with it here in Scream 6 as they are spoofing not just sequels, but franchises. I also feel like that Dermot Mulroney's delivery of the dialogue was intentional. I got Debbie Salt/Nancy Loomis vibes from him, which is why for me that was a tell that Bailey was the killer. Debbie Salt was very peculiar the first time I watched Scream 2, so is Bailey. And this whole thing where he got over the death of Quinn as quick as he did. That was a telling. And the whole motivation was about revenge, the same thing with Mrs. Loomis in Scream 2. Chad and Mindy of course are awesome, so is Sam and Tara and the actors that play them. And of course Hayden Panettiere as Kirby. We need more of her in the next film. The filmmakers really utilized the NYC setting to it's fullest potential and obviously better than Jason Take Manhattan. And I like the fact that movie was playing on a TV....that was a nice Easter egg. I'd say Scream 6 is a solid entry into this franchise.

Yes the killer reveal is not good with these. I figure it out instantly with the writing. Great deep dive. Same issues I had. It was fun but not the best sequel due to writing.

Sorry if somebody already pointed this out but the question mark by Stu's name isn't questioning if he is alive. It is questioning where his ghostface Mask is. Since the old masks were being left at the scenes of the crimes.

If you think about it, Anika is the only character in the main friend group that dies that isn't Ghost Face. Just about everyone else who dies are either a non character or the killer.

I called out each of the killers individually. But didn't call them working together. I was really hoping it would of been a case of a few people randomly posing as Ghostface and coming together or finding each other through the fandom.

Sam story gonna be a recycle of Sidney story like both Sidney and Sam boyfriends were the killers and in the sequels of their stories then one of their boyfriends parent seeking vengeance on them the third installment for Sam might end up having her go into hiding like Sidney did and somewhere in the story we find out Sam and Tara mother had another child but gave them up and we learn Sam had a twin brother trying to kill her and was the mastermind behind the first two events regarding her and then the fourth installment we find out Sam have a cousin and they trying be famous off of her and the next film Sam pass on the torch to a newbie so they go through the same thing we see already.

I yelled “FUCK” in the movie theater so loud when I thought Chad had died

I always thought Ethan screamed for help for Mindy on the subway was simply to move down on her suspect list.

I think it would have been cool if Sam was a 4th ghost face and she knew all about them being Ritchie’s family the whole movie & knew their plan. She then slowly picks them off one by one throughout the movie and reveals at the end she knew all along and kills the detective then reveals the truth to the Core Four! 😅 idk maybe too convoluted but it def would have been something different

I think the only way I can conceive of Gail not recognizing Richies dad is because Gail is an excellent investigative journalist. But Gail doesn’t write these books to be an excellent investigative journalist. From the beginning, they have been an inflammatory fame and money grab. I can see a world where she’s simply didn’t look that deep into Ritchie’s parents or family history. But also… a whole note and scream 2 was on blaming the parents when the children turned out psychotic.and like… I consume a lot of true crime and they love looking for signs of the Macdonald triad. Missing that is A Lot.

another thing that made no sense to me that i don’t think you mentioned is this: whenever Quinn is “killed” and it shows her Dad all distraught i always wondered how he snuck it past all of the EMTs/police/detectives that she wasn’t really dead 🤔

Cool and brutal Ghostface, good kills but that doesn't matter when all the main characters are invincible and in my opinion the meta stuff is once again like in 5 horribly written the 3rd act was messy and this movie needed Sidney

Besides the plot armor element, I think this is the best one since the original! Really enjoyed it and excited to see it again!👻

Wouldn’t Sam know what Richies family looks like as well? That whole plot hole really bugged me.

I thought it was Quinn in one of her first scenes when she mentioned losing her brother. 🙄 when a random throwaway comment is mentioned and then never addressed again it’s like Chekhov’s gun

To address two of the plotholes (1) When ghostface is standing over Quinn, I interpret this as Ethan had been in there the whole time and just got dressed up. He wasn’t intending to hover over her. But when he saw that the guy across the street saw it, he knew he had to play it like she didn’t know he was there. (2) When Ethan was helping Mindy, this makes sense if Ethan thinks Mindy might survive. He has to play it as if he isn’t the killer. And not being in costume, he obviously can’t finish her off. Also, he may not be sure that their job in killing Sam is going to be done that evening. If the ghostface killings continue on into the next day, with Mindy alive, she needs to be under the impression that he is not the killer.

SAME! 46:05. Why did he run at her?!😂😂

Richie had a surname Kirsh while Officer Bailey was Wayne Bailey, knowing that he enrolled Ethan in shool with diffrent surname it isn't much of a stretch for Gale to not find Richie family, the metro scene could hint that Ethan wanted alibi after they convinced everyone that Sam was ghostface cus all people on metro saw it was Ethan who helped her which means that even if Mindy would accuse him of being Ghostface they could (Richie family) spin as something else.

I think I can forgive the subway scene because it was for Mindy, so that way Mindy doesn’t call or text Chad to let them know that it was Ethan. If she were to live that is.

I think when Dermot Mulroney called Sam not to trust the FBI chick I began to suspect him but then again there were clues through out like the way he just looked so evilly. But when they established that anyone can be a killer you begin to become suspicious of everyone and I think that’s what the film wanted you to do. And as a sidenote, remember this, just because you figured out who the killer is, doesn’t mean, it’s a plot hole .

I’ll slightly forgive the Ethan/Mindy stab scene where Ethan pretends to be helpful but I forgive it slightly because it’s a public area(really doesn’t matter) but since Mindy still alive he has to help her or he’s just given himself away to Mindy if he doesn’t help her and she’s lives on

The most logical explanation I can think for how no one knew what richie’s family looked like was that that information was not released to the public. Since Bailey was in fact a cop he could have had some kind of deal where that could be kept secret to protect the rest of the family. In scream 5 Gale does say she wants to make her next book more about Dewey, so her book is most likely the events of 5 but with more a focus and celebration of Dewey, while also throwing shade at Sam for getting Dewey involved. I see it as she doesn’t give the killers much credit or exposure in the book, but it still makes Sam look bad and adds to the constant conspiracy theories surrounding her.

with the subway scene If he had just taken off that would have been a major red flag for her so I think the reason he "helped" her was because someone on the train will see her and get help anyways and/or he could tell that she would survive and needed to trick her that way she wouldn't get more suspicious and tell the friends.

After the movie the first thing I thought about was how all of the main protagonist from the last film survived

Regarding the scene in the subway, maybe Ethan starts helping Mindy because he sees she’s still alive. If he walks away and she survives, would be the confirmation she needed that he is ghost face.

Not sure if you realized, but when Sam holds onto tara to stop her from falling down, before that, she gets sbot through the arm, and its fully functional lol

I can imagine an old gale in scream 10 just like please can I not get punched in the face again 😂

‘Eh ofc it’s me’ that’s when it starts Cody lmao

During the subway scene, I found it odd that Chad wasn't worried about his sister. Chad was keeping Ethan close bc he was suspicious of him and he knew his sister already felt like Ethan was the killer. Now only the two of them were left behind... There would have been no way I would have left that train station at least waiting for the next train to arrive and wait for my sister.
