Scream VI - Movie Review
Scream returns again, with familiar legacy characters and in New York too (just like Jason!). However, I feel like this new setting is rather underutilized though, we only get three scenes where New York is used to give us something new/special: The characters living in an apartment building rather than a house, comes into play in a very tense scene where Ghost Face sneaks inside without their knowledge. The neighbour across the street can see the killer stalking around, he tries to desperately get their attention, but the buildings separating them is too difficult for him to get any reaction! This is followed by a very tense scene, the neighbour throws a ladder across his window to their building, with a 50 foot drop between them! It leads into a rather gruesome death where one of the characters falls to the ground, after Ghost Face shakes her off the ladder. Another scene is used at the beginning of this movie, a character wanders down a very spooky alleyway. The New York setting gives this area an overwhelming sense of dread, making us feel tiny against the giant skyscrapers between our poor victim. She gets jumped and killed by Ghost Face, in a rather chilling jumpscare, that ends in a horrific slaying! The last scene is the best and it is in all of the trailers; Ghost Face shows up inside a subway train! This is a lovely nod to Jason Takes Manhattan (which is shown in the movie on a TV, just to confirm this reference); where our killer stalks our protagonists in the train, when the lights start flickering and Ghost Face sneaks up closer and closer, I was honestly sitting on the edge of my seat. These three scenes were a great change to the formula, giving us a new and exciting setting. Unfortunately the rest of the film could've been filmed literally anywhere else, as most of the scenes in this entry look no different than any other Scream movie in my opinion.

Limb From Limb
LUCY STIRRED. She shot upright to the drum of her own heart beating, which coincided with a peal of thunder. After a few deep breaths, she sat wide awake, recovering from what could only have been, a terrifying dream. She reached for the torch, and swiched it on. A beam of cool white light shone all around her, and filled the chilly tent.

Doctor Winters Forgetfulness Clinic-My Uncle Trapped a Demon
"Mr. Pate, how are you today?" The man sitting across from her looked like he was doing quite poorly. Calling him a man might have been generous, Dr. Winter saw. He was a large teen, probably still in high school, but his face bore the look worn by inmates on death row. Though filled with melancholy, he had none of the trappings that usually accompanied children in their late teens. His arms bore none of the self-harm scars Winter usually found. He wasn't festooned in dark colors or piercings, and even his haircut was unassuming.

Jackpot
Jack walked up to the cash register, sliding a sixer of PBR across the counter while simultaneously removing his wallet from the back pocket of his Wrangler jeans. He would pay for the beers with his credit card, but he needed cash for the lottery tickets—the Kentucky lottery hadn’t yet learned how to accept card payment, apparently.
