Scream VI (Film Review)

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD


When I heard this film wasn’t going to be set in Woodsboro I wasn’t sure how I felt about it, but it definitely worked just as Scream 2 did. The backdrop to our latest Ghostface murder spree is now New York City. Tara, Chad and Mindy have moved to the city for a fresh start and to start their college life. Sam has also followed on in an attempt to make sure her younger sister stays safe and well doesn’t get murdered.


Scream is famous for their opening scenes being kill scenes and as soon as I saw Samara Weaving on screen I knew it wasn’t good news for her character. I wish we would’ve had her in the whole film but unfortunately we didn’t. She was amazing though, I’m a big fan of hers so i’ll accept any crumbs we get from her lol.



Following that we then get into the main story, Ghostface hunting down our core four and Miss Gale Weathers. We are introduced to some newbies Danny (Tara and Sam’s neighbour), Ethan (a new addition to the group, Chad’s friend), Quinn (Tara & Sam’s new roommate), Anika (Mindy’s girlfriend). I genuinely liked all these new characters, except for Detective Bailey who I couldn’t make my mind up on from the start. 


As well as new characters we also welcomed back Miss Kirby Reed who was a fan favourite from Scream 4 and who everybody was begging the creators to bring back when Scream 5 was announced. I was so happy to see her back on our screens and I was gl ad that Hayden Panettiere agreed to come back and from what i’ve seen in interviews she jumped at the chance to come back.


Obviously bringing Miss Gale Weathers back was a must, we heard that Sidney wasn’t going to be in this instalment as Neve Campbell wasn’t coming back not long after it was announced they were making six and of course we lost Dewey in five so having one of the originals still here was a good decision from the creators. Although having only Gale around from the previous films filled me with nerves that she’d finally fall victim to Ghostface.. which without spoiling it too much, she does in a way but not the way I thought. 



One of my absolute favourite scenes in the whole film is a subway scene involving Mindy, I literally had anxiety butterflies throughout my stomach the whole scene and don’t think I took a breath the whole time. If you haven’t seen it yet, once you do see it you’ll completely understand where I am coming from. 


We know that there has been a shrine built to the previous ghostface killers including weapons, masks, images depicting the murders and some of the victims clothes, I wasn’t sure how this was going to be brought into the film but when realisation hit I was like wow okay then. The reveal of who was behind the mask was also something I wasn’t expecting but I think it tied in really well with previous instalments. 



The kill scenes are definitely still top tier this time around and (i don’t know if this is wrong to say? Lol) but I really enjoyed them. I genuinely really enjoyed this film and it levelled up from the previous one. In fact I think it was better than five.  


Scream VI gets a five star rating from me.

Thirty & Childless

Image
I’m now thirty years old and of course with that a lot of people around me are getting pregnant and having children but that’s genuinely not something I desire. I’ve actively chosen to not have children and usually I don’t feel the need to explain to anyone why but i’m tired of seeing people judging those of us who wish not to pro create. For years I have said I don’t want children and i’m always met with responses such as “oh you’ll change your mind.” Or “that seems selfish”. Why? Why do people feel so comfortable making comments like that? It happens all the time and it’s beyond irritating at this point. Having children isn’t the be all and end all of life. Everyone has their own thoughts, feelings and plans for life. If you chose to have children, get married and have a cute little family life that’s completely fine, but also so is not wanting or having that. Family isn’t just a couple and some children, they can come in all shapes and sizes. A person and their cat or dog or whateve...

Book your smears!

Image
 It’s uncomfortable, it’s a little embarrassing and no one enjoys having them done but it could save your life.  I’m in my 30s now and have had around 4/5 smear tests, they never get any easier but having them has raised an issue which we can keep an eye on and could possibly save my life and prevent me from developing cervical cancer.  My first smear was perfectly normal and wasn’t anything to worry about however my following smear showed I had HPV which is one of the biggest reasons behind many developing cancer. I now have yearly appointments with gynaecology to keep an eye on whats going on and to make sure that there’s no progression or cancerous cells. Having HPV doesn’t mean you will definitely develop cancer or cancerous cells, however it increases the risk. Without my smear, I wouldn’t have any idea that I had it, so wouldn’t be able to keep an eye on it.  Many people feel apprehensive about booking their appointments for their smear tests however the benefi...

Sending my love

 From the other side of the apocalypse  Okay let me fan girl for a second… FALL OUT BOY ARE BACK OMG OMG OMG. Yes, they’ve released two new songs.. Love from the other side which you can listen to  here  and Heartbreak feels so good which you can listen to  here . Anyone who knows me personally or follows me on socials will know that Fall Out Boy are my absolute favourite band and have been since I was twelve years old, so when they started teasing new music I pretty much lost my mind completely. There new single Love from the other side  dropped everywhere on Weds 18th January and I haven’t stopped listening to it since. They then dropped Heartbreak feels so good on the 25th January which is just as good as the firdt single. They went a slightly different route with their last album Mania, which of course is completely fine and I actually really liked it however this new single is giving old school fob vibes and I am living for it. Its giving me 13 ye...
