Hot Take: Scream 6 get worse on rewatches, Scream 7 gets better.
Every time I rewatch Scream 6, the flaws become more apparent & more grating. The writing, dialogue, acting, usage of the NYC setting, & meta commentary are only a few of its many shortcomings. It’s a decent movie overall, but without question the weakest of the franchise.
I was so disappointed with Scream 7 the first time I watched it. The trailers unfortunately showed way too much, but I’ve seen it multiple times now & it gets better every time I rewatch it. It’s currently a strong 4th place in my overall ranking & I consider it to be a really good entry in the franchise. With time, I think people will grow to appreciate it.
