(trailer review) - Scream 7

 

Blimey, when will all this end? I am not saying this because I do not like the franchise; essentially, I do not care, but was Scream 5 the Fast & Furious (Fast 4) that has given this franchise new life? The Ghostface mask being used for copycat murders seems to keep happening, and people are dying all the time. What are the towns going to do about it? I guess nothing can be done unless authorities can do something as and when it happens, and likely only when something happens, but how are these murders continuing to happen to the same people, like protective custody is not a thing? But I guess you will not have a gown and Ghostface mask franchise or gimmick if you change it up, right?

But with that said, this trailer, although I did not see Scream 6 (for whatever reason), and I saw Scream 5, this trailer had me interested! I think the best and creative part of the trailer was the chandelier moment at the beginning of it. But with that said, I'm pretty sure a body of weight falling on top of you is sure to cause you on the floor a great deal of pain, but who cares, right, as it was fun to watch, and I definitely squirmed. Then the moment we are all waiting for and are expecting, "Hello Sydney!" Classic. Then the "I'm not hiding, Sydney..." made me think, 'but you are though, because it is not like you are standing in front of her', then proceeds to drop down from the attic...haha, silly. The Matrix moment of hiding between the walls is a fun moment; however, I am wondering how they will connect Scream 7 to Scream 6 with the younger cast. Maybe it is because I have not seen Scream 6 to see the younger generation connection, and if you did not know, Jenna Ortega did not return because the studio did not want Melissa Barrera back due to her protesting against the Palestine genocide. So, as Melissa is still getting work, she may choose to come back for a sequel if the studio reaches out to her, but let's see how this movie goes, especially as they make these films for less than 50 million and make triple that back, usually.

I think my issue with the franchise at the moment is, why are these 'ghostface' masks still being sold. Also, if people are being killed over a period of time, would these masks not be seen as illegal?  I do not understand how we are soo far into a franchise where a cloak and (at this rate) a famous mask used for killing can still be used to, well...continue killing. I understand the masks are not made for killing people, but it is the main mask people have used to kill people over the span of 10 to 20 years, no? I think I will need to watch the franchise again from the very beginning and include Scream 4 (as I have not seen that one, yet) and see how these new films are interconnected. I have noticed how the recent Mission Impossible movies have been interconnected with each other and also draw from previous films which helps the viewer/fans become more invested in the franchise.

This trailer is decent though and I have no complaints. Is her name Sydney? She's toast in this one to let the newer guys come in and take over, but I had fun with Scream 5 (maybe due to the moving rollercoaster-like seats) the film was fun, although there were some plot points and story bits that did not make a lick of sense, however, I went along with it as I was heavily invested. I did not realise Wednesday herself, Jenna Ortega was in Scream 5 because I did not recognise or notice her until I watched Wednesday and then saw this trailer. Let's see how all this pans out. Strangely enough, I was off of the whole Scream franchise when it got to, Scream 3 or 4, I cannot remember which one I stopped at, but it was just too much and boring at the time. You are trying to force a franchise, that is how I felt, but something about Scream 5 got my attention and I was interested and I actually enjoyed it. Also, that Josh Segarra is the killer, I am calling it here and now. So, let's see, aye.

(trailer review) - Scream 6

 

From memory, this has to be the only franchise where I have not seen it all the way through. I cannot remember if I have seen Scream 3, but I definitely did not see Scream 4 because I just was not interested. I went to see Scream 5 though, and for what it is worth, I enjoyed Scream 5 for what it was. There were some elements in the movie that made no sense whatsoever. But for the sake of the movie, "movie-ing" and the suspension of disbelief, I let small yet weighty plot holes slide. It was a nice return to the franchise and like I said, an entertaining watch. I went to see it I. 4DX too and that was fun. It added a different take on the experience as a whole.

This teaser trailer does not give us much but, is this based on a single day or week? Around Halloween maybe? Seeing all those people wearing the Ghost Face mask on the train is WILD! Already a no-brainer for the lore of the franchise I feel, because if there have been people committing murders in that mask for years, the mask should be banned, right? If I were to do the math, it would mean this town has sold this mask for however how many years and Although people have been dying by a killer in the mask, people are fine with the selling of it? Other than the people who notice the mask in the trailer, do you mean to tell me, NOBODY recognises that mask as doom and likely imminent death? Like, nobody? The mask is bait at this point but let me let the movie, movie. Maybe it is a different side of Town or a completely different city, fair enough...maybe, I don't know. The train scene we get to see here is a very chilling scene being surrounded by people with the ghost face mask on a train and the black girl got it first? I thought we were stopping all of that! I'll wait for the proper trailer...it looks ok.

(trailer review) - Scream

Hello Sydney!

That's ironic! Even I know that line and I couldn't tell you where I last left off with the Scream franchise.  I believe I stopped after Scream 3 but I cannot remember for sure that I watched Scream 3, but I know I watched 1 & 2.  These films where they are rejuvenating the franchise and bringing it back for the old heads as well as the fresh eyes who are yet to see or get involved with these franchises aren't doing a terrible job.  While I liked Candyman, I felt I was too far removed from the mythos of Candyman and the film that came after or, well...the franchise, so maybe I need to re-watch these movies before I watch the new incarnations.

This trailer was cool.  A slasher film in the vein of the old school movies, bringing back the old school characters AND on top of that, still coming across as scary and frightening like they literally picked up the script for the first movie and just re-wrote it with different character name and used the old character names as parents.  This looks like the classic scare-fest it was and that stamping on the ankle was rough!  It's great to see Meg Ryan's son Huey in this.  He should be alright since he has faced the worst, like The Seven. 

Directed by Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and starring Melissa Barrera, Mason Gooding, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Marley Shelton, Courteney Cox, David Arquette and Neve Campbell
