My first viewing of Scream 6 was much more enjoyable than my first viewing of Scream 5. There is a cohesiveness to the cast this time, and the returning actors have definitely stepped up their acting. Tara and Sam feel like final girls and I love that character development. After some time and viewing Scream 5 a fourth time I have finally come to truly enjoy it. However, it only took me one viewing to enjoy the newest entry in the Scream franchise. The script follows what was set up in the previous sequels before it (i.e. The killers) unlike Scream 3's Ghost Face. The setting is a nice change of pace that doesn't feel trite. There are set pieces and sequences that really build suspense in true Scream fashion which was missing in part 5. The apartment ladder scene and Gale's Ghost Face fight will become fan favorites.
The film does ask for quite a bit of suspension of disbelief and seems to be scared of killing any charters off besides ghost face and non-essential characters which is something I missed from Scream 5. The film could've been 10-20 minutes shorter just to help it feel more concise. Also, lets stop with the Billy hallucinations.
