REVIEW: 'Scream VI': An appropriately bloody slash into (re)subverting a Final Girl | _devthomas
The original Scream released in 1996 is not only my favourite horror movie, but also my favourite movie of all time. It wouldn’t be hyperbolic for me to say with my whole chest that it made me fall in love with films.
In fact, every different entry had new killers behind the mask, but the one consistent was Sidney, Scream’s Michael Myers-esque Final Girl - the baddest one in the game, I might add. Also, to her part, I think Barrera did a competent enough job as the franchise’s new Head Final Girl in 5, a sentiment that was mildly unpopular within the franchise’s stans.
And as much as the setting moving from Woodsboro to New York seems fun in theory, Friday the 13th Part VII: Jason Takes Manhattan definitely contributed to my rising concerns that VI would tarnish Scream’s reputation as slasher’s most consistently good franchise. In Scream’s original trilogy, Sidney was carved out as the benchmark subversion of slasher’s typical Final Girl: she was its face, she had a fully realised character arc over the course of the movies, she jumped Billy’s bones in Scream’s third act and survived, she wasn’t characterised as ‘I’m not like the other girls’, she came up victorious in every entry in the franchise, and she was so hot.
