I see why Neve turned down returning to do this movie- Terrible storyline, bad plot - just goofy. She was like- you can’t pay me enough to star in this bullsh-t.
- the forced “comedy” with the lead characters jokes about the “franchise” was overplayed
- tinder date texts her that he can’t find his way to the only new bar on Hudson street so he tells her to meet him in an alley for help and she doesn’t find this suspicious at all
- getting stabbed/sliced in the throat and other vital organs 10x by 2 people at the same time is nothing but an inconvenience, you’ll be back up and joking by the end of the day bc the power of friendship saved you
- why did it feel like the beginning, middle and end of Scream vi feel like 3 different movies??
It felt like they had 3 different Ideas For this movie and merged them into one
- ironically, Jason Takes Manhattan was a better movie than Jenna Fakes the Bronx
- expect your friend who was stabbed in the stomach to climb across a ladder while holding her intestines, then scream at her because she’s not moving fast enough
- “tell Sidney he didn’t get me”
-couldn’t help but notice that Scream 6 writers were taking shots at the older OG original Scream fan base with the “Sidney deserves a happy ending “ and the “it’s sucks when everybody hates you”
- Sam not deleting Richie’s name in her phone. lol. Someone who tried to kill her and her sister is not immediate cause to remove him from your iPhone contacts list

The eighth film promised to give new life to the undead Jason Voorhees by having him set sail for New York City in
Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. The possibilities seemed endless. Would we get Jason slashing his way through the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty, or across the Brooklyn Bridge? Hype turned to disappointment for many when most of the film had Jason on a boat on his way to New York, and when he got there, he stomped through some buildings, alleyways,
and subway that were supposed to be New York but were actually filmed in Vancouver
Scream VI suffers from that same disappointment.
A lot of that comes from making the exact same, dumbfounding mistakes that Friday the 13th made, for much of the newest Scream film isn't filmed anywhere close to New York. Shown prominently in the trailer, and having an integral part in the film, is the scene where Tara (Ortega) and Sam (Barrera) are attacked by a shotgun-wielding Ghostface in a New York City bodega. It's a thrilling scene, but that's not a New York store where the carnage is taking place.
Instead, it's a street in Montreal, complete with yellow taxis to make it feel more like the Big Apple. The subway station where the gang encounters dozens of Halloween revelers and one very murderous Ghostface? Yep,
that's Montreal too. The same goes for street scenes, school scenes, and apartment scenes.”
The article writer not hiding the contempt for Canada.

Jason Takes Manhattan, despite its many flaws, at least gave us that one iconic shot of the hockey mask-wearing killer in Times Square.
Scream VI barely takes us anywhere. There were so many settings to choose from. Any skyscraper from the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, or the World Trade Center. A plethora of bridges that we really only see in establishing shots. Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Rockefeller Center. We didn't need Ghostface running through them all like a New York City Greatest Hits, but at least one or two of them would have added so much, especially for a franchise that winks so much at movie past. If any horror film could have gotten away with an abundance of New York landmark shots, it would have been this one.”
“Gillett is right that the action and violence in the film is bonkers and over the top. The setting doesn't match that intensity.
Nothing feels bonkers or over the top about this Montreal stand-in for New York. Scream VI has so much going for it, but it missed the boat when it came to highlighting New York. Friday the 13th at least had an excuse. They were a franchise falling on hard times and had a limited budget. That's not Scream. They had the money to show us a love letter to film's most famous city. Instead, we got Canada. “
TLDR: Nothing about this film had New York energy
