The new "Scream" is not a sequel to its predecessor's, it's a requel, Mindy said. Even Mindy couldn't fully explain what a requel is, but in a nutshell, it's a sequel more bombastic than its previous flicks.
Mindy, marvelously portrayed by Jasmin Savoy Brown is one of the many suspects who might be the killer. Mindy along with the two sisters Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera are the core four. The 4th person is Chad, (Mason Gooding) who founded the core four.
If you like any of the five other "Screams," I betcha you'll love this one, or at least put "Scream VI" as the best one yet. Regardless, it's my favorite one. The characters make fun of the genre their in and Hollywood itself.
Kind and nefarious souls are brutally slain in "Scream" fashion, and I couldn't solve the mystery of the weirdly masked murderer.
The killer is after the two sisters, Tara and Sam Carpenter, Ortega and Barrea. The two sisters decide to become the hunters as opposed to running prey with the aid of their friends who may be the killer or killers themselves.
Screen play writers James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick displayed tribute to the awesome cast by using a 1930s film credit format, showing the names and faces of the actors at same time during the ending credits.
"Scream VI" has officially been added to my Halloween collection of flicks to watch every October.
A solid three and a half stars for "Scream VI," just released today.
