The Good:

• People always believe that there is safety in numbers but Scream 6 rips that belief away. Having chase scenes and kills in very public areas, with a killer that mows down anyone who gets in the way, added such an intense layer.

• On top of that, this killer is aggressive. Yes, they stay true to Ghostface's clumsy like nature but they have him with such a bloodlust this movie that even when Ghostface is tripping or getting hit, he is still frightening.

• The characters didn't feel thrown in there. Scream 6 adds personality and backstories to the new characters which had me dreading some of their deaths.

The Bad:

• Scream is all about being self-aware horror. I didn't really get too much of this in Scream 6. There was one scene that truly focused on the rules and set up of horror movies but that was about it.

• The finale was a let down. I didn't mind the killer reveal but it was played too crazy and it came off that the killer was playing crazy instead of actually being insane. I feel if the killer was much more calm (after being the most violent, aggressive GF we have seen) that would have been more scary.

• They did this in Scream 5 and now in Scream 6 but characters who get severely wounded but then don't act like it. If you get shot, stabbed, etc. You aren't going to be sitting on a bench, playing on your phone, then have a quick convo before walking your way over to the bus stop. Though the film has some flaws that can be easily overlooked, this was not one of them.

• The legacy characters seem to just pop in and out to make there presence known. I understand they are trying to pass the torch to the new cast but some scenes came off that the writers were like "Oh yea, Gale...Okay add her to this scene."

Overall, this movie had me glued to the screen from start to end. I will be watching it again and probably another time after that.

If they do a Scream 7 with the intensity and twists that they had in Scream 6 but polish off the mistakes they made, then they are going to have an absolute beast on their hands.

If you haven't seen Scream 6, go watch it.

The idea of this film is actually pretty cool. Whoever came up with it, I applaud you! Great job, really. It was neat seeing the parents talking normally well trying to hack away at their kids. It added somewhat of a creepy factor to it. But that's about the end of the good graces...

This show is POORLY written. Every single character in this movie is a complete dick for unknown reasons, even the extras. Flipping each other off, being rude, complaining, back-talking. There was honestly 0 likable characters in this show. One character sees a complete bloodbath happen and laughs, goes home, and makes food/drugs...I mean, what?

The start jumps between characters in different locations so much that I got lost. Then we are bombarded with flashbacks that have no relevance. Why do we need a 5 minute flashback of someone destroying something in order to explain why the basement is messy?

There is also so many scenes that have 0 plot influence. They are just thrown in there to fill the time. These scenes are cut into action scenes too. So you will be having this hard core action scene then suddenly cut to a 5 minute flashback of the family having ice cream and talking about what a lovely day it is. Why? Seriously, who thought it was a good idea for them to intercut so many scenes together?

The ending, I mean what was that?

Good idea just executed very poorly. 100% the writer's and editor's faults. Those people are suppose to be the foundation of every film and with a weak foundation, this movie crumbles. Save your time and watch something else.

So this show has SOME cheesy moments but overall, it is a fairly good show. It kept me watching and interested. The actress who plays the mermaid is astounding and really delivers.

There is conspiracy theories, family drama, hunting, all the things from a drama. But this show avoids the average vampires and werewolves and instead gives us something we really haven't seen at all on the screen, mermaids. So I'd like to applaud the creators for giving us something original.

This show is low budget (for TV) but it really doesn't seem like it. The acting is fairly good (some actors have some scenes were they stumble,) the script is good as well despite some moments of bad dialogue or cheesy moments, the story is watchable, and they have some effects that are better than some things I have seen on higher budget shows. When a guy is flung threw a windshield and when we see Ryn transform from having legs to fins, the effects are done really well. I can see a lot of their budget has gone to special effects and makeup which really sells this film.

When I first started watching this show, I thought it was going to be simple minded, cheap laughs, and poor plot. Red Vs Blue is none of those things.

The characters of this show are lovable. Even the villains of it are interesting and have seasons worth of backstory that makes you devoted to them. They actually build up characters better than most shows on TV.

The show has a lot of very funny adventures that are fillers BUT the plot to this show is actually amazing. You wouldn't expect a show on youtube with a video game being the main foundation to how it is filmed to be that complex of a show, but it is. It tackles subjects like identity, love, and tragedy in such a beautiful manner that I am surprised the show is not more widely known.

I never expected Red Vs Blue to be gripping but I was pleasantly surprised.

I watch very few comedy shows cause not a lot of them can make me laugh and/or keep my interest but this show...Oh...My...God!

The characters in the show are highly likable. They got different personalities so there is something for everyone and it also adds to the comedy. Seeing three vastly different people trying to accomplish a common goal (to get out of debt) is surprisingly hilarious.

I was worried that the plot was going to stick to them having to owe the gang throughout the entire season but it ditches that before your even a quarter way through the season and instead does a multitude of funny adventures to keep you entertained.

The writing is spot on. Good dialogue, nothing seems forced, it is natural.

Overall, this is a very good show.

This show is a complete mess. Season 1 was watchable. I'll give it that. It sort of had you asking who this killer was, some of the characters were interesting, it had enough to keep you going. Then Season 2 rolls around and I have to ask, what the actual ****?

Season 2 is all over the place and it ruins any credibility that Season 1 had built up. The plot is all over the place. We are trying to find another killer but then discover who it is not even half way through the season in a very lackluster way.

The character change opinions and personalities more than I change socks. Jughead goes from "I hate the Serpents!" To going through a grueling task to join them the very next episode and then goes from the voice of reason to literally skinning a woman's arm well she is alive and not even showing any kind of emotion. In what? Two days someone went from "we need to help everyone!" to "hold her down, I'm gonna cut off her skin!" Kevin goes from openly gay flamboyant guy who is kissing people in public in Season 1 to apparently the entire town going homophobic in Season 2 and Kevin needing to hide in the woods at night to even touch a mans hand, all to raise the stakes of who might be killed next. Then Betty and her brother have this honestly cringe worthy bit where they try to discover the cause of this "inner-darkness." like it's fricken hereditary or something.

That aside, the next thing that makes this show unwatchable is the editing. It jumps EVERYWHERE! One episode was set up like this:

Archie and Veronica talk for 20 seconds, Betty says she is going to visit her brother (5 second scene), Jughead tries to phone betty (15 second scene), jump back to Archie and Veronica talking for about 20 seconds, jump to Kevin getting into trouble (10 second scene), jump back to Archie and Veronica surprising Fred for about 30 seconds, jump back to Betty walking into a hall to see her brother being beaten, back to Jughead talking about Betty, Fred acts surprised, jump back to Betty saving her brother.

You see where I'm going with this? In about 2 minutes you have about 40 scenes. They cut everything into little tiny bits then stretch it the entire 45 minutes as a poor attempt at creating suspense. I'd much rather see the scenes in full. Instead of jumping 20 times back to Betty and her brother for 15 seconds at a time, how about have two scenes lasting 3 minutes each. that way the viewers aren't being tossed back and forth between scenes and given no time to remember what was happening.

It's a mess. Rolling through plots like no tomorrow, characters that behave and change like a damn mood ring, and editing that makes a porno seem Oscar worthy.

This movie is astonishing. There is this constant creepy mood throughout the show that keeps you on your toes of what will happen next. This movie completely leaves the whole "pop-out scares" to get you freaked out and rather preys on you by using multiple tiny little details that make your hair stand up. This constant use of paranoia is what makes the movie a classic.

The characters are somewhat likeable. You will likely end up cheering for them but you won't have strong feelings when you see them suffer because the movie doesn't spend a whole whack of time developing them before the killers come into the picture. Just enough to make you feel a minor connection.

What this horror movie does well is build up the tension. In most movies, we see the tension get built up for about twenty minutes then you have a big scare which releases the tension. Then builds it back up and so on. The Strangers doesn't give you that break. It continues to build up and up and up and you get more freaked out and paranoid, anticipating the end. It works in such a beautiful way that you don't feel ripped off when you don't see any actual killing.

Now I know it is against the rules but I feel obligated to stand up for this film since I see it is getting unfair critique. Many people are giving it dangerously low ratings because the characters did not behave logically in certain situations...People mess up on everyday things. I'm sure if you throw in three killers in a stressful situation, they aren't thinking about every detail but rather acting on pure adrenaline. people gave this a rating of 1 star because the guy took off his jacket which had the bullets in it...I mean, I forget my car keys half the time and that is on a good day and without mass murderers trying to stab me with pointy objects so I don't think giving this low ratings because the characters made some poor decision justifies the entirety of this film.

If you are looking for blood, guts, people dying left and right, this is not the film for you. If you want a creepy show that will make your hair stand up and have you shouting at the screen, then watch this!

0 character development. They basically just had a scene that showed the name of each character and that was all the actual development we get from them. Except for the dad and son which is flawed.

The son is shown to be some guy who struggles with the law, gets into fights, and shows a obvious disregard for those around him. Yet, 5 seconds later he is giving away all his change to homeless. He is putting himself in danger to save people he met not even a minute ago. They 180 his character.

The script is poorly written. They managed to find two sets of clothes for a baby well on the alien ship (Seriously one minute she naked, the next she is in a dress, the next she has a brand new outfit on.) People go from hating one another to liking each other in a matter of seconds.

This is shown when Frank's character and the sibling survivors fight because the find out Frank is a cop. Well more cops arrive and Frank and the siblings take cover. The siblings are like "Those are other cops and are very bad." And become buddy buddy with no further explanation or dialogue. Like, you were fighting him cause he was a cop now that more arrived you ignore it all? Why?

It's an all over the place mess with characters who rarely give us anything to actually form a connection with.

So the first episode is HORRIBLE. It drags on, there are random scenes just thrown in there, writing was bad. But, as others have pointed out, it does get better after the first episode...Not by much.

We are thrown into this weird execution of telling a story which is vastly unnecessary. It's sort of like building a puzzle with the first few. Episode 1 follows Roman were an earthquake hits and afterwards all the ghost go nuts. Episode 2 follows Billie where we see more answers. Episode 3 follows this scientists girl, more answers are revealed. Around Episode 5 it just ditches this whole way of telling the story and instead takes the normal execution tv shows take. (We see through the viewpoints of multiple characters instead of just one.) I just seen this as unneeded to jump between different view points like this.

Camera angles are concerning. Half the time we don't even see the actors faces or else too far away to make much out. It takes you out of the story when two people are having a dramatic conversation but all you see is the backs of their head.

Technical aside, the writing and acting are iffy. Acting, mediocre. Some of them, bravo. They do a good job. Others...Not so much. The writing though is what gets me. Episode 1 everyone is 100% against this ghost thing. They think Roman is nuts. No ghosts, blah blah, who would believe in ghosts, bla bla. Then, moths (yes MOTHS) flood the bar and everyone is like "Omg the town is plagued by ghosts! Roman! Roman you have to help us! Please! There is ghosts!" (I mean, the two cops weren't even at the bar. They had 0 interactions with what happened and even they went from not believing ghosts and hating Roman to almost crapping themselves at the word ghost and worshipping Roman.)

During half the show, we see people being picked off like fish in a barrel. Then suddenly electricity scares the ghosts...One person died around power tools, another died in a fully functional laboratory. Ghosts all over the place even though the electricity is on but then half way through it is like "oh they can't be around power cause the electricity messes with them." I mean, why did we jump from people not being safe at an electric company to suddenly a flashlight being enough to scare the ghosts off and keep you safe? One scene the people hid under ONE lamppost and the ghosts couldn't get to them despite the previous day, killing someone in a house with all the lights and appliances running.

The idea is amazing. Great, original, round of applause for the people who came up with it but the way they went about it was wrong. They struggle with continuity as well as making believable reactions and character emotions.

So when I first watched this series I loved it. The first few seasons are amazing, lots of emotion in them, characters were interesting. They have lost all of that in the recent seasons. The cast has grown and continued to grow since then and it makes for a very bland show.

Due to the main cast consisting of over 20 people, you lose that close, in-depth experience you felt in earlier seasons. In season 1 you saw pretty much everyone in every episode but now that the cast is so vast you will see someone once every 2 or 3 episodes, it comes to the point where you forget about a lot of characters and it seems the writers do as well. (Currently Season 7 EP 4 is happening. Where is Heath? Eugene? Michone? Enid?) It comes to the point where they just pop up and you are like "ooh, nice to see them again."

And due to such a large cast most of their budget is wasted on paying them and thus lacks in the actual making of the show. The animation (The deer, tiger, they have even started getting lazy with some walker kills) has suffered immensely. It makes it seem like the creators have just gotten lazy and don't give a damn since they are making so much money and believe as long as they keep rolling out episodes, no matter the quality, they will keep making money.

They had a show that had so much potential but have wasted it away. Spending 2 and a half seasons with the exact same villain and during a majority of that time there was 0 power struggle, just the main characters chilling under Negan's rule. They have lost a large portion of viewers and it continues to decline as seasons go on, and for good reason. The creators need to pick it up cause this show has become pathetic.

Idk why people on here are bashing this movie. It is an amazing movie that had some creepy ass scenes. It didn't just rely on jump scares Though there is like 2, but had actual hair stand up on the back of your neck scenes.

I do agree that the characters weren't really in depth but then again this is a horror/slasher movie. It's hard to give characters such significant depth before they are axed off that it is to be expected to not have the greatest moments. Take You're Next. like 1/10 characters in that show had depth yet people rave how great it is.

Alos I just wanted to point out something since this movie is getting bashed for the technology you see and I feel like I need to set things straight. yes, the technology exists today that you see in this movie. My auntie can turn on her TV, turn off her lights, and even lock and unlock her doors with her phone. So people going "omfg it pisses me off how unrealistic this movie is" just haven't caught up to the times.

It's a creepy movie, characters died gory deaths, there was a few scares, I was happy with it.

This TV series had the slowest build up in existence. Episodes 1-5 it seems to drag on, like the person who wrote the script was just throwing in random things in an attempt to make a 10 episode series. The first half of the show was more a teen drama than a horror mystery.

However, if you manage to power through the first half of the series it does begin to get better. I don't think the last few episodes were enough to save this series but it made a decent try.

If they had just changed up the first few episodes or else made this series a 8 episode series then this would be a much better show.
