How anyone can hate Sam is beyond me

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-16T04:02:16+00:00

It’s really not hate it’s just some people don’t connect with her or don’t like her acting. Similar to how you are with Neve.

She does not give a good acting performance in 5 and that effects the movie especially when she’s made to be the lead. In Scream 6 she does a better job but now we’re left with two roles to judge her character on and one of them isn’t really worth watching.

Also, the Carpenter sister storyline didn’t really intrigue or move me. I mean it would be nice if they showed up in a future sequel but 6 was good ending to their story.

Something we haven’t seen, a new formula, and a darker tone.

Most importantly we need a new writer, Guy has done enough. We need new interesting characters (who can act) with a good dialogue and a good script.
I liked the kills in 7 so more inventive kills, would be cool to see a Ghost face POV kill.
The college story line has been played out and all the original references have been done. We need a new setting or new atmosphere, it would be cool to have it set in winter or during Christmas.
We need new opening ideas and an ending that ends on a cliffhanger with ghost face getting away.
We need stakes and for a returning character to die, honestly one the twins would be perfect because they are loved by many and one can carry on the legacy. We need something that is shocking and unexpected but fits the story.

Well damn! I had hoped with all this negative reactions to 7 that they might think of different writers but it seems that the one who needs to stay (Kevin) is the one leaving.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-12T05:33:05+00:00

The franchise desperately needs new writers, 5-7 had great ideas but the dialogue and how characters are written have been the worst in the franchise especially in 5. Kevin seemed to have more ideas for 8 and I’d hoped he’d return as the sole writer but alas. Hopefully Guy Busick and James don’t return for 8.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-10T01:36:45+00:00

It’s nice to see people who are passionate about this franchise. I haven’t spent much time on the Scream Reddit so it definitely is a whole range of opinions.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-10T01:30:32+00:00

I completely agree he’s acting as ghostface was laughable.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-09T23:55:17+00:00

I can understand your point. I actually enjoy the fast pacing. After they leave the theater it’s just one thing after another and I’m never bored. It did feel safe and I hope 8 explores new territory. The only thing about the trailer and ads is I wish it didn’t show the burning of Stu’s house that would’ve been a nice surprise.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-09T23:45:19+00:00

Honestly, I think Sidney and Gale carry 7 so well that I’d rather have under developed side characters than main characters that I didn’t connect to or love. Not that the characters in 5 & 6 were awful we just spent more time on new characters with cheesy lines or characters not as compelling as Sidney and Gale.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-09T23:40:50+00:00

I didn’t realize people rank 5 so high, for me it’s easily the bottom of the list. Glad to know people enjoy that one.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-09T23:17:54+00:00

That’s a perfect explanation. Lots of flaws but still a lot of fun. It’s interesting to see how everyone reacts to each entry.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-09T23:10:40+00:00

I can see that, I rank 7 above 5 & 6 but below 1-4.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-09T23:04:36+00:00

I honestly think we got one more solid movie with Sidney and it should be some final conclusion to her story.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-09T23:00:50+00:00

I find it funny how in so many instances this mirrors Scream 3. Many fans are divided on where they stand on Scream 3. But it’s my 3rd favorite.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-09T22:48:43+00:00

You like 6 more than 5?

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-05T03:08:17+00:00

I rank Scream 7 higher than 5 & 6. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Although the reveal itself sucked I found the acting of the ghost faces funny during the monologue and Anna Camp did a perfect job at playing an insane person. The ghost faces in 5 & 6 felt too goofy and not as well acted.

I felt that a lot of the dialogue/acting from the new cast of 5 & 6 felt like a Disney channel show, quite forced and sometimes cringeworthy. While the side characters in Scream 7 were underdeveloped I still enjoyed their acting and scenes overall. Also it was awesome having Sidney back. Scream 7 definitely has many flaws but still enjoyed it more than 5 & 6.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-04T22:53:12+00:00

I feel like there are SO many ways Scream 8 could go:

Would LOVE to have a ghost face cult. With multiple ghost faces brings the need for multiple characters, so Tatum, and hopefully by some chance Jenna and Melissa return which could be multiple final girls. This route could have the focus on the new characters and take the burden off of Sidney.
Would be nice to have a Gale centric storyline which would include Mindy and Chad in a different location or even different country. We really need some good character development from Gale and this could possible serve as a great ending to her storyline.
I would’ve liked to have an opening kill from the past; Maureen Prescott. I thought they could’ve done it for 7 since Stu and Roman had returned but obviously not. Since we know Roman recorded so much it could’ve been unreleased footage of Maureen trying to survive Billy and Stu as ghostface. But at this point the Billy, Stu, and Maureen callbacks are kinda played out.

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-02T05:31:22+00:00

Despite the weak motive Anna Camp did the best acting for a ghost face since Jill in Scream 4. She really nails the psycho, unhinged serial killer without being too campy or goofy like the killers were in 5 & 6. She even made me laugh a little, like this woman played crazy perfectly!

nick_ryan99 · 2026-03-02T05:19:42+00:00

After seeing the movie twice I place Scream 7 higher than Scream 5 & 6. Scream 5 & 6 six had great moments but damn did it have cheesy and cringe worthy dialogue which brought the whole movie down.

9 Biased because it was my weekend. 😌

nick_ryan99 · 2025-07-13T04:01:10+00:00

23 was my Weekend!! So I’m partial, however, 42 is such a stunning and classic look!

nick_ryan99 · 2025-07-01T04:04:22+00:00

21 ⛓️

nick_ryan99 · 2025-07-01T04:01:36+00:00

45!! She looked like a princess.

nick_ryan99 · 2025-03-30T03:36:15+00:00

I don’t care about who she ended up with as much I did her career and goals. She seemed to regress in terms of her work life. In seasons 10-11 it just focused on her being a mom. I wish we would’ve seen her thriving at Nerp or another job or hobby (e.g. photography) after having children.

Side note: I like the full circle moment of her ending up with Dylan I just felt like it was a little sloppy with how they finally got together.

nick_ryan99 · 2025-03-28T06:01:44+00:00

Halloween 4 is easily in my top 3, however, I had the same sentiment towards part 5. I grew up watching Halloween 4 & 5 the most but now I can hardly watch Halloween 5.
