Scream VI (2023) A Review By Erick Z 

Scream VI (2023) A Review By Erick Zamora

Scream VI proves that while we all love Neve Campbell’s character of Sidney Prescott, the franchise itself can survive without her and the 6th installment in the series proves just that. 

While for me, the opening kill was good it wasn’t as iconic as the OG and even Scream 2. However this movie is one hundred times better than Scream (2022) and setting the action in NYC adds so much more on a visual perspective. 

The storyline is great. The “Core Four” are amazing and provide wit and charm and Chad is the heart of this new quartet. 

The new friend group is well-balanced as are the red herrings and potential suspects.



The kills- yikes ! Brutal, in your face, mean-spirited and I was on the edge of my seat. It’s been maybe since scream and scream 2 that the tension has been this high. The ladder scene was beyond intense.

The legacy characters, returning from Scream 4 - Kirby, who is now an FBI agent and Gale provides weight and propels the story forward. 

Gales scene is emotional and very suspenseful. Perhaps one of the best scenes in the movie and the entire franchise . 

The reveal and who is ghostface and the motive are good! I enjoyed the 3rd act and the finale. The shrine is eye candy and the ending is pure carnage candy, just like Randy said about sequels and this requel sequel proves to be better than the one that came before it. 

Kudos to the directors and the writing team. 

This is how Scream reestablishes itself as a pure slasher and horror movie giant amidst all other horror movies and continues to be self aware, meta, relevant and fun. 



Go see it. And have a good time with it.

BROTHERS - SHORT FILM (2023)

First full disclosure this isn't your typical horror movie. I chose to write about this project for a couple of reasons. I'm a former combat medic and a retired civilian paramedic because of that this film has a spieal place in my heart. Now back to your regularly scheduled review. Brothers comes to us from the fine website Indiegogo. It has a bunch of very affordable perks that most will be able to pick up. The Indiegogo Campaign Logline: When a former combat medic meets the hostile brother of his fallen comrade, they realize the survivor's guilt they share is more profound than any differences that divide them. "I Watched Friends Die in Afghanistan. The Guilt Has Nearly Killed Me." This is the title of an article in The New York Times that inspired the genesis of BROTHERS. The psychological condition of survivor's guilt has always been a source of intrigue to us and in our pursuit to further understand this complex and often overlooked condition, we felt com

M3GAN (2023)

Image
M3GAN went viral MONTHS before her film was even released, thanks to a widely imitated dance sequence curated for TikTok fame and her instant emergence as the next possible face of horror paved the way for record breaking box office success! As soon as the first trailer dropped, it was already clear that M3GAN was destined to become an internet sensation, quickly spawning dozens of tweets, memes and completely dominating TikTok… With a shocking Rotten Tomatoes score of 93%, M3GAN already has a higher RT score than pretty much any best picture contender for the Oscars 2023! What is going on?! Originally shot as a rated R, but that was until the producers noticed that while editing it was already close enough to PG-13, realising that they had made a mistake and wanting to appeal to teenagers and a more mainstream audience, they then re-shot certain scenes to tone down the violence. With piercing blue eyes and a syrupy sweet voice, M3GAN is a new iconic villain for a whole new generati
