Honestly, I was about to cry when Gale was attacked by Ghostface. I would of been saddened if Gale suffered the same fate as Dewey. So, I'm more happy that Gale survived than anyone else.
I think they did this on purpose. parallel Dewie and have her barely hang on. But if Cox doesn't return for 7. You can easily write it that she just lost too much blood and died in the hospital
@@chloeernst7740 Yeah, of course, but Gale is a legend within the Scream franchise as well as, Dewey, Randy, and Sidney. And tbh, there is no telling on whether or not Sidney (Neve Campbell) will ever come back to the franchise, she didn't even want to be in 5th installment. I mean, she wasn't in Scream 6; if they make Scream 7, whose to say that Neve Campbell is ever going to return? So, I think if Gale would have been killed off in Scream 6, then there's a possibility that the legacy of Ghostface itself would have also died as well.
I also liked your idea with Quinn and Anika being the sorority girls from Scream 2 but being the killers. I think I said as much in the comments. Would've been a good twist/subversion. I knew that wouldn't be the case by that point because of promotional pics (which made it clear to me that Anika was Mindy's girlfriend and that Chad and Tara would have a relationship), but I still like the idea.
I had the same reasons for why I thought Tara would’ve been killed off. I just saw Jenna Ortega’s star rising so fast that she wouldn’t be attached to the franchise for much longer, but also realized that her star rising is why the writers would want to keep Tara alive and Jenna around lol. Glad she made it tho.
She said that she doesnt really care for money, she cares for a good franchise and good castmates. She will stay as long the franchise doesn't get toxic. She can tell the writers that she wants to get killed anytime.
I’d even argue that Sarah Michelle Gellar was a way bigger star in the 90s than Ortega is now. This isn’t meant as a put down, but she was one of the most recognisable faces in the world back then.
For me, the point of Danny was to show that being too insular in your friend group can cost you. They really beat that "core four" drum so hard and were so unwilling to trust anyone outside of it that it put them at a massive disadvantage in the final confrontation. They just locked him out. If he was around, he could have made a big difference. I get that they were right in the sense that both of the roommates were the killers, and I like the fact that, going forward, it continues to remind the group that their judgment can continue to be off no matter how prepared they may think they are for what's to come ahead. I just hope that they don't make Danny a full-on Cotton parallel and have him be the Scream VII opening kill.
Really looking forward to the "who-killed-who" video for this one, what with there being 3 killers! A few are super obvious in hindsight even on first watch, but there are a few that I'd still love to hear your take on.
Spoilers for scream 6 I have a feeling that the cop guy ( i forgot his name) was the one who killed Anika and supposedly Quinn since when Ethan showed up to the scene later, he told Chad where he was and that he could ask all the people that were there. He said this because he knew he didn’t do it and he had alibis to cover him up as not one of the killers. Unless he snuck out but i have a good feeling on this one.

I don't know if this is a hot take, but I actually really like the character of Danny (Sam's boyfriend/hot guy across the way). With the possible exception of Detective Kincaid in Scream 3 (although he did play the sketchy card for most of that film), there hasn't been a love interest for the main lead so far (be it Sidney or Sam) who did not turn out to be the killer and also survived the film. I thought it was a nice change of pace that maybe Sam has actually found a good guy who (by all appearances) seems to genuinely care for her and respects her boundaries. When she told him he couldn't come with them to the final showdown, he respected that, expressed his concern, and walked away. As soon as it was over, he was there for her again. He seems like a keeper to me. I hope he doesn't die in the next one either.
I'm not sure if this is a hot take either, but I completely agree with it. Danny was honestly a character I really liked despite his minimal time and development. I really hope that he gets some spotlight in the next one and survives, he and Sam deserve it.
Greg isn't a killer, but Jason definitely is. Just because it's one person Doesn't mean he's not a killer..he had plans to kill more. He made a ghostface call. He wore the ghostface mask. Had a ghostface kill. He was a ghostface.
@@gauelfeelsyeah he was until detective bailey backstabbed greg and jason..I’m pretty sure detective bailey used both greg and jason to create the shrine and decided to kill them both
the difference is he wasnt THE ghostface for this movie just because he was a ghostface at the end of the day sam and the rest had no clue he was even a ghostface and planning on coming after them, if sam in another movie gets attacked by someone in jasons family shes gonna be like "who's dat 👀👀" putting on the mask and killing someone holds no weight unless the main characters are directly affected by them
For Jason, he made a call and got a kill in Ghostface costume voiced by Roger L. Jackson. Even though he's an opening kill and was himself killed by another Ghostface, he still definitely qualifies as a Ghostface
By that standard, is Sydney an official ghost face? She makes a call with the voice changer and gets a kill in costume at the end of the first Scream. I believe Sam does the same thing at the end of Scream 6 (can't remember if she uses the Roger voice)
@@Tony_Pesta Well Jason was more of the bad side, that was technically a ghostface and preparing to kill the Carpenter sisters. He just failed early on. Sam and Sidney were each killing the killers, which still makes them killers, but not ghostfaces.
I was randomly thinking to myself a few hours ago "Zack Cherry should be posting his reaction to his Scream VI predictions sometime soon" then voila a few hours later here we are
@@FreeThinkAlways the directors are too worried about fulfilling their scream fanboy fantasies instead of actually writing a scream movie that could be a classic and up there with the scream movies before them.
@@d.52555 I don’t mind seeing Tara killed off. I don’t see her as a strong character as her sister. I would have loved to see Sam go a little bit more crazy and be more torn between her crazy and final girl side.
@@stefaniemonger4610 Same, same for Chad and mindy. At least two of those characters need to be killed off and should’ve been killed off the last movie. I think the next movie, if the directors are serious about Scream, will go all in with Sam and her trauma and make her a killer or a vigilante ghost face that hunts the 2-3 Ghostface killers
100% agree with you about SMG. I was in my late teens back then and Sarah Michelle was *everywhere* . Movies, talkshows, magazine articles (and on magazine covers). BtVS was *huge* around that time and so was she.
When they said it was a franchise and things needed to be bigger, I knew there would be three this time. I figured out the girl, easily. If you don't see someone die, then they aren't dead. I did not guess the father because they didn't give us any information about him until the end. It was one of 2 problems I had with the movie.
I completely ruled her out because I was so focused on the tones of characters because I watched Zach's killer prediction and knew I had to focus my brain power on tones of characters. In doing so, I did figure out Ethan. But also in doing so, I missed the obvious "she wasn't killed on screen." This isn't really a problem of focusing my limited brain power, but just my limited brain power of seeing all these red flags like when Bailey interrogates Tara + Sam, Bailey says he can rule out Quinn since she's his daughter. Although the motive was always something I could never figure out since it can literally be anything. I mean, Mickey just wanted a spectacle out of the whole thing. Jill wanted fucking clout XD
I figured out that it was the dad right away when he said he lost a son and the girl said she lost a brother. The other brother was more of the surprise for me.
@National Sports Entertainment NSE Quinn was a movie trope. Easy. I'm just a scary movie fan that hasn't dove, in depth, into Scream. Call me a casual that didn't think to pay THAT much attention to dialogue. Everyone has potential motive. If you hang onto every word, everyone's your killer, and you're posting that you guessed the correct people.
I can think of something pretty important Danny did during the movie. That wasn't the latter seen and that was he was basically there for sam and did everything right for sam. When she told him that she was suspicious of him he understood and backed off. I think what he really does and it's very important going forward and it was something that was correct for them to set up in this movie he gives them. A rock and another reason to keep her From fully snapping. Along with the rest of the core 4 obviously. But he allows her to heal after Richie and therefore if they kill him in the next movie it's gonna be very bad. Like hes keeping Sam from stopping? But. I? Feel. Like? Losing any. Of them including. His gonna be bad.
I love how when l saw the characters on Twitter and I saw Ethan, I immediately yelled in my head: “It’s the twink, he’s the killer!” Also after watching the movie it is interesting how Radio Silence puts theme over plausibility/credibility when it comes to the killer’s identity. By that I mean that in Scream 5 which has the themes of fan culture and love for the original has the killers as the love interests without blood ties with the original. Meanwhile, Scream 6 which is about franchises and family has a serial killer family.
Someone on reddit pointed out that a cool fact in the solo posters. All of the characters that were killed are directly facing the camera. Additionally, those who were killers have their knives on the left side of the poster.
Anyone who says SMG isn’t as big as Jenna is clearly too young or did too much drugs in the late 90s to be speaking! Let’s see if Jenna in 20 years has as much cultural clout that SMG has especially given how little she’s done since then.
I was born in 2001 and even I KNOW how big Sarah Michelle Gellar was (and still is). I’m with you, we’ll see if Jenna has big cult following in 10-20 years. I compare Jenna to Olivia Rodrigo, Olivia was hot for a year but now she isn’t releasing as much and her popularity is fizzling (at least it seems like).
Am I just that old/out of it that I didn’t know who Jenna Ortega was until scream? Granted I was in college/grad school for her big tv stuff but SMG was a household name or if you didn’t know her name you recognized her and knew Buffy and other movies.
Who's saying Sarah Michelle Gellar wasn't a big star? Buffy the Vampire Slayer I Know What You Did Last Summer Scream 2 Cruel Intentions Thr Grudge Scooby-Doo And those are just off the top of my head.
The purpose of Danny was for me, seeing your video on how to predict the killer as the Apathetic Friend, I think it was. I remember you saying how they're usually there to guide the MC and that they're usually consistently in a positive tone (not being the killer) and only goes to a negative tone when there's a comedic scene directly following that such as when Wes suspects Dewey as being the killer then Dewey saying maybe Wes was the killer because that jab cut deep OR when you're consistently positive (not the killer) and only goes negative when educating the main character, which happens in 6 where Danny says not to trust anyone, even himself which is negative despite before that scene he was consistently positive and even after that scene. I mean, he accepted the decision of Sam for him to not go in with no push back. Some hesitation, but no push back. Nothing negative. Same with Derek when Sidney asked him to give her space. Which is why he gives me Derek vibes. About the Red Herring, I'd argue there was. I think the Red Herring came late. It was Kirby. I feel like Kirby became the Red Herring late AND fast. Like the moment Bailey told Sam that Kirby was fired WITHOUT the AUDIENCE seeing any proof of that, she became the Red Herring. But that didn't last long since soon after, Chad + Tara were attacked by Ghosfaces and soon after Kirby appeared again (since disappearing from the start of Act 3), Bailey shot her.
Personally my doubts were sowed from the start, Bailey asking his coworker to run a background check on her, it’s been a minute since I’ve seen 4 but like, FBI agent def wasn’t her arc in that movie so it kinda felt like “wait, what? Really? Okay? Nobody is questioning it? Asking about her days at the academy or anything about her job?” Then Bailey questioned her by having the check done, and that gave me some vindication, then he with what he told Sam, immediately I was like “I knew it!… wait a second” and then I knew Bailey was the killer, and I think that was their intention, it was supposed to echo Richie getting Sam to not trust Tara, except his fathers smarter in his choice of who to cast doubt on I knew Danny was safe from the get go, he was def the Derek monologue, im glad he didn’t get killed either, a subversion of Derek’s arc which I appreciated I also just really loved the mechanic of him being across the alleyway trying to contact them, if there was more time spent in this location I’d say they should set up a tin can system! Lol
@@Gibbypastrami I didn't have a doubt about Kirby being FBI. I mean, she explains it to Tara or Mindy perfectly. Sam + Kirby also allude to having met. When Bailey wanted a bg check on her I didn't think was a red flag and just him being cautious. It had the same energy as Mindy telling Amber that she should've asked someone to go down with her to the basement. Or Richie asking Mindy to go to the basement with him to which she says was smart but declined. Which is ironic since both were killers XD and Richie was prob gonna kill her there. Yeah, I had good vibes from him. When he accepted Sam's decision not to trust him it solidified him being safe. I was just worried he might be held hostage and eventually killed. Glad he wasn't. And true! I like the juxtaposition between the 2. Yeah, I feel like he was kinda sidelined in the movie. A lot of characters feel that way. Scream 1, 2 & 4 didn't feel as much. 3 was a mess. In 4 the only underwritten character was Trevor, but the deleted scenes give him more depth. Mickey in 2 also felt underwritten UNTIL he was revealed as the killer. 1 was perfect.
I'm so glad Tara and Sam both survived, that was pretty much all I wanted lol. The final girls sister dynamic is so badass, I like that better than just the one final girl. I'm glad we got to see Tara's character development and her being a badass in this movie. 😌
With the Jason topic I would classify him as a killer, purely on the basis of his end goal was to kill Sam and Tara so he would have essentially become ‘the killer’.
I thought it would be Stu's sister Leslie Macher & maybe her husband or so (or her brother if she had one besides Stu) because Vince was killed in "Scream 5". I was wrong, but I still think a Leslie Macher played by Judy Greer would be nice 😃
After Emma Roberts and Jack Quaid were the killers, I immediately assumed Dylan would be the killer going into this one and since he he had a daughter a sa character, I knew she would be his accomplice. Ethan being a killer is the only thing I didn't see coming. RadioSilence need to step up their games in the killer mystery department.
What are you talking about? Emma Roberts (Jill) was the killer in 4. Jack Quaid (Richie) and Mikey Madison (Amber) were the killers in 5😅 and Dylan? Like do you even remember the names of the killers in Scream 6?
i predicted that the killer's motive would be revenge for some character that died on scream 5 and also predicted that it would be three killers from the same family, i just guessed the characters completely off, i was so sure about dr. stone ..
I avoided a lot before the movie so that I could go in without any real expectations. I’m glad I did as I think it made me enjoy it better. But I love watching your videos now. I think you have some of the most honest takes about 6 that are out there. Keep up the good work!
You still technically got Quinn just half right, cause she was the Fake Out Death Killer. They had us believe she died, but nope! I love your videos and it is so cool how you went back to review your predictions!
Not to be THAT person but... Did you get Quinn right? There was a specific category for Fake Out Death Killer... So I'd take you half a point off for her, cause you weren't wrong but you were a category off from being 100% right.
I did well with my predictions. I didn’t think they’d go 3 GF’s so I thought it would be 2/3 from Quinn, Ethan and Bailey.. Of the 13 main characters I had the right lives/dies predictions except for Kirby, Chad and Tara who I thought would all die
I just wanna say how much I enjoy when u post. Your channel is so fun because I find out so much information on so many movies. You also just make great content
Although Chad was a survivor he fits by his sister in fake out death survivor. -1 Quin you said it yourself. -1 Kirby might even have been a fake out death survivor, same with gale. Idk I think you should do a reaction to your reaction to know for sure
In my group of friends, only one thought it was Kirby. because "they never had a survivor become the killer before." The rest of us pretty much figured it out as some combination of the 3 actual killers. based on Ethan being so "hiding in plan slight" and Quinn and cop dad mentioning losing a son/brother the year before.
I guess one correct I knew Ethan would be ghostface cause his shirt was a close representation or modern verison ig of Billy loomis shirt 🤷♀️ but for the most part I was pretty clueless
10:57 scream 5 promos did all that?!? no wonder everyone guessed the killers going in. i make it a habit to not watch any trailers for movies like this so i never knew they literally showed sam stabbing richie 😭
Imagine Thinking SMG Wasn’t THAT GIRL In The 90s! Buffy Was One Of The Biggest Shows In Television History! She Clocked More Screen Time In The 90s Alone Than Jenna Ortegas Whole Career!
If they do make a scream 7 you should do a category called irrevelant characters just in case they have a Frankie type character again where they’re only in one unimportant scene towards the beginning and are never seen or heard from again. Just a thought
The funny thing to me is that because of the design of the Scream movies, it leads to guessing scenarios where the logic is "Oh, they havent done this before!", when really the way to tell is through the motive - the same way you'd figure out a whodunnit regularly. It is testament to the genius of this franchise that one of the core things to keep in mind in fact gets overlooked so easily.
A couple things: 1) I think you deserve a full point for calling Jason an opening kill. That entire sequence was an extended opener where first Jason kills someone, then he becomes the opening kill for the “real” Ghostface of this movie. Yes, he is another Ghostface copycat within their world, but in the context of the plot of this particular movie, his role was a really creative opening kill victim. 2) You should cut yourself a little slack. You couldn’t have predicted that basically every main cast member in this movie would either survive their wounds or be a killer themselves. Surely someone would die in this slasher movie. I guess her name was Anika, however to be fair, she also survived her stab wounds and only died because she fell to her death.
my theory for Segura's character is that he was going to be a third killer with Jason and Greg but when he saw that they had been killed he pulled back and decided to hold off and he will be the one wearing Billy's mask in 7 or at least be a killer in 7
That's a cool theory. I've seen people say he could have been a fourth with the Baileys, that when he goes to getvthe cops it is so they can find the staged killings with Sam as the killer. When he shows up with the cops at the end, he had to quickly change tactics since Sam and the others survived. If that is true could be the first returning character killer. Not saying i buy it just a theory i have heard. I've never heard a motive with this theory but since they are all connected to Richie, childhood best friend maybe.
One thing that made no sense to me was why did Ethan save Mindy. It felt weak no letting her die. That was just to throw the viewing audience off. Now for Scream 7, will it come out that the sisters have another half sibling from their father to further mirror the first 3 movies? And to think about how much luck it took that the four of them went to the city where the father of one of the killers was a police detective.
I remember LOVING the Mrs Loomis reveal at the theater, because the momento Gale run into her at the pay phone I said to a friend: "This random woman is everywhere, it's like she's the killer!"
When I first watched it i almost instantly knew it was Ethan. That's what kind of ruined it for me. It didn't keep me guessing on who the killer could be. Quinn was pretty unexpected tho
Damn you’re good! From the core(four)group, to the similarities, and having three ghostfaces. I was one of the ones that thought that Tara was going to be a killer simply because she was supposed to be Amber’s gf. About the red herring I believe Hayden was the red herring. Next time you make s prediction video please go with your instincts!
When I read the Wikipedia article on scream 6 the only mention of sams character was in the cast section. He did so little that he was never mentioned in the plot summary
Going into this I was confident in 3 killers but still got excited actually seeing 3. Going into the movie I predicted Officer Bailey, he seemed so likely to be the alpha ghostface. As soon as we didn't see Quinn die I guess her. I didn't guess the motive, but that's cause I was hoping they wouldn't retread the "you killed my murderous child" and that's exactly what they did. It was a very fun movie but the last act with so many survivors, people walking away from what should be fatal attacks, and the killers losing their intensity once unmasked it hurt a great movie from being amazing.
When me and my friends were doing our picks for who the killer was, I actually picked Quinn as a killer. Unfortunately I only got her right I picked Anika and Laura too but I actually did predict that there would be 3 killers which I was genuinely surprised that there was going to be 3 this time
One thing I just noticed, all of the people who killed at least once, have the knife, in the promo shot, towards the left side of their face, except Tara who is the red herring.
So after scream 5 not hiding who ghostface was from the moment the actors shared a scene on screen. I went into scream six with the ghost faced reveal spoiled already and it made the movie 1000 times better.
Chad has pretty much become the new Dewey. Dewey kept fake-out surviving stabs to the back, Chad keeps fake-out surviving becoming a pincushion.

@@Tony_Pesta Well Jason was more of the bad side, that was technically a ghostface and preparing to kill the Carpenter sisters. He just failed early on. Sam and Sidney were each killing the killers, which still makes them killers, but not ghostfaces.
@@Tony_Pesta they’re literally the hero’s. These are villains trying to murder people, that doesn’t even count.
Jason was a villain. He killed an innocent women. He was A GHOSTFACE. period
@@Tony_Pesta nonsense argument
I was randomly thinking to myself a few hours ago "Zack Cherry should be posting his reaction to his Scream VI predictions sometime soon" then voila a few hours later here we are
Just realized that everyone who's face is at an angle in their poster lived and everyone looking straight on died.
You really throught that writers have balls to kill Tara
I think it's obvious at this point the writers haven't got a clue what they're doing other than copying the original trilogies scenes and dialog
@@FreeThinkAlways the directors are too worried about fulfilling their scream fanboy fantasies instead of actually writing a scream movie that could be a classic and up there with the scream movies before them.
Honestly would’ve loved to have seen what Ti West could’ve done if he directed a scream and wasn’t restricted.
@@d.52555 I don’t mind seeing Tara killed off. I don’t see her as a strong character as her sister. I would have loved to see Sam go a little bit more crazy and be more torn between her crazy and final girl side.
@@stefaniemonger4610 Same, same for Chad and mindy. At least two of those characters need to be killed off and should’ve been killed off the last movie. I think the next movie, if the directors are serious about Scream, will go all in with Sam and her trauma and make her a killer or a vigilante ghost face that hunts the 2-3 Ghostface killers
100% agree with you about SMG. I was in my late teens back then and Sarah Michelle was *everywhere* . Movies, talkshows, magazine articles (and on magazine covers). BtVS was *huge* around that time and so was she.
When they said it was a franchise and things needed to be bigger, I knew there would be three this time. I figured out the girl, easily. If you don't see someone die, then they aren't dead. I did not guess the father because they didn't give us any information about him until the end. It was one of 2 problems I had with the movie.
They did mention, that he lost his son.
I completely ruled her out because I was so focused on the tones of characters because I watched Zach's killer prediction and knew I had to focus my brain power on tones of characters. In doing so, I did figure out Ethan. But also in doing so, I missed the obvious "she wasn't killed on screen." This isn't really a problem of focusing my limited brain power, but just my limited brain power of seeing all these red flags like when Bailey interrogates Tara + Sam, Bailey says he can rule out Quinn since she's his daughter. Although the motive was always something I could never figure out since it can literally be anything. I mean, Mickey just wanted a spectacle out of the whole thing. Jill wanted fucking clout XD
I figured out that it was the dad right away when he said he lost a son and the girl said she lost a brother. The other brother was more of the surprise for me.
@@Sebastian-lw5qb Ah. I didn't catch that.
@National Sports Entertainment NSE Quinn was a movie trope. Easy. I'm just a scary movie fan that hasn't dove, in depth, into Scream. Call me a casual that didn't think to pay THAT much attention to dialogue. Everyone has potential motive. If you hang onto every word, everyone's your killer, and you're posting that you guessed the correct people.
I was waiting all month for you to react to the "he looks like a younger Richie, probably just a coincidence"
I was literally screaming the same thing about Sarah Michele , she was everything late 90s 😍
I can’t stop laughing at 17:40, Zacks head fits perfectly onto the sorority girls shoulders lmao.
Dude!! I even said Ethan kinda looked like Richie and i guessed him as his brother.
I can think of something pretty important Danny did during the movie. That wasn't the latter seen and that was he was basically there for sam and did everything right for sam. When she told him that she was suspicious of him he understood and backed off. I think what he really does and it's very important going forward and it was something that was correct for them to set up in this movie he gives them. A rock and another reason to keep her From fully snapping. Along with the rest of the core 4 obviously. But he allows her to heal after Richie and therefore if they kill him in the next movie it's gonna be very bad. Like hes keeping Sam from stopping? But. I? Feel. Like? Losing any. Of them including. His gonna be bad.
I love how when l saw the characters on Twitter and I saw Ethan, I immediately yelled in my head: “It’s the twink, he’s the killer!”
Also after watching the movie it is interesting how Radio Silence puts theme over plausibility/credibility when it comes to the killer’s identity.
By that I mean that in Scream 5 which has the themes of fan culture and love for the original has the killers as the love interests without blood ties with the original.
Meanwhile, Scream 6 which is about franchises and family has a serial killer family.
Someone on reddit pointed out that a cool fact in the solo posters. All of the characters that were killed are directly facing the camera. Additionally, those who were killers have their knives on the left side of the poster.
yoooooo holy shit
Samara Weaving being in it was so cool, she's so talented, especially in horror.
Anyone who says SMG isn’t as big as Jenna is clearly too young or did too much drugs in the late 90s to be speaking! Let’s see if Jenna in 20 years has as much cultural clout that SMG has especially given how little she’s done since then.
Agreed!
I was born in 2001 and even I KNOW how big Sarah Michelle Gellar was (and still is). I’m with you, we’ll see if Jenna has big cult following in 10-20 years. I compare Jenna to Olivia Rodrigo, Olivia was hot for a year but now she isn’t releasing as much and her popularity is fizzling (at least it seems like).
Am I just that old/out of it that I didn’t know who Jenna Ortega was until scream? Granted I was in college/grad school for her big tv stuff but SMG was a household name or if you didn’t know her name you recognized her and knew Buffy and other movies.
SMG almost as good a vampire slayer as Blade
@@hannahremmel9550 Don’t feel bad I didn’t know who she was neither
I would give you the full point for Jason because your were right. He was killed before the opening of was over.
I had guessed that Jason would be one of the killers, and I mean... technically I was right😂
Who's saying Sarah Michelle Gellar wasn't a big star?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Scream 2
Cruel Intentions
Thr Grudge
Scooby-Doo
And those are just off the top of my head.
The purpose of Danny was for me, seeing your video on how to predict the killer as the Apathetic Friend, I think it was. I remember you saying how they're usually there to guide the MC and that they're usually consistently in a positive tone (not being the killer) and only goes to a negative tone when there's a comedic scene directly following that such as when Wes suspects Dewey as being the killer then Dewey saying maybe Wes was the killer because that jab cut deep OR when you're consistently positive (not the killer) and only goes negative when educating the main character, which happens in 6 where Danny says not to trust anyone, even himself which is negative despite before that scene he was consistently positive and even after that scene. I mean, he accepted the decision of Sam for him to not go in with no push back. Some hesitation, but no push back. Nothing negative. Same with Derek when Sidney asked him to give her space. Which is why he gives me Derek vibes.
About the Red Herring, I'd argue there was. I think the Red Herring came late. It was Kirby. I feel like Kirby became the Red Herring late AND fast. Like the moment Bailey told Sam that Kirby was fired WITHOUT the AUDIENCE seeing any proof of that, she became the Red Herring. But that didn't last long since soon after, Chad + Tara were attacked by Ghosfaces and soon after Kirby appeared again (since disappearing from the start of Act 3), Bailey shot her.
Personally my doubts were sowed from the start, Bailey asking his coworker to run a background check on her, it’s been a minute since I’ve seen 4 but like, FBI agent def wasn’t her arc in that movie so it kinda felt like “wait, what? Really? Okay? Nobody is questioning it? Asking about her days at the academy or anything about her job?” Then Bailey questioned her by having the check done, and that gave me some vindication, then he with what he told Sam, immediately I was like “I knew it!… wait a second” and then I knew Bailey was the killer, and I think that was their intention, it was supposed to echo Richie getting Sam to not trust Tara, except his fathers smarter in his choice of who to cast doubt on
I knew Danny was safe from the get go, he was def the Derek monologue, im glad he didn’t get killed either, a subversion of Derek’s arc which I appreciated
I also just really loved the mechanic of him being across the alleyway trying to contact them, if there was more time spent in this location I’d say they should set up a tin can system! Lol
@@Gibbypastrami I didn't have a doubt about Kirby being FBI. I mean, she explains it to Tara or Mindy perfectly. Sam + Kirby also allude to having met. When Bailey wanted a bg check on her I didn't think was a red flag and just him being cautious. It had the same energy as Mindy telling Amber that she should've asked someone to go down with her to the basement. Or Richie asking Mindy to go to the basement with him to which she says was smart but declined. Which is ironic since both were killers XD and Richie was prob gonna kill her there.
Yeah, I had good vibes from him. When he accepted Sam's decision not to trust him it solidified him being safe. I was just worried he might be held hostage and eventually killed. Glad he wasn't. And true! I like the juxtaposition between the 2.
Yeah, I feel like he was kinda sidelined in the movie. A lot of characters feel that way. Scream 1, 2 & 4 didn't feel as much. 3 was a mess. In 4 the only underwritten character was Trevor, but the deleted scenes give him more depth. Mickey in 2 also felt underwritten UNTIL he was revealed as the killer. 1 was perfect.
I'm so glad Tara and Sam both survived, that was pretty much all I wanted lol. The final girls sister dynamic is so badass, I like that better than just the one final girl. I'm glad we got to see Tara's character development and her being a badass in this movie. 😌
With the Jason topic I would classify him as a killer, purely on the basis of his end goal was to kill Sam and Tara so he would have essentially become ‘the killer’.
I’m the only living creature who thought when detective Bailey was right about Kirby being the killer oh how gullible I am
I honestly wouldn't have minded that twist being true, it was the only really logical way to have a returning character be a killer
I thought it would be Stu's sister Leslie Macher & maybe her husband or so (or her brother if she had one besides Stu) because Vince was killed in "Scream 5".
I was wrong, but I still think a Leslie Macher played by Judy Greer would be nice 😃
People who weren't around in the 1997-2003 era will never understand the chokehold sarah michelle had on us
After Emma Roberts and Jack Quaid were the killers, I immediately assumed Dylan would be the killer going into this one and since he he had a daughter a sa character, I knew she would be his accomplice. Ethan being a killer is the only thing I didn't see coming. RadioSilence need to step up their games in the killer mystery department.
You mean dermot ? Dermot played as Detective ( Wayne) Bailey
What are you talking about? Emma Roberts (Jill) was the killer in 4. Jack Quaid (Richie) and Mikey Madison (Amber) were the killers in 5😅 and Dylan? Like do you even remember the names of the killers in Scream 6?
@@PTRK490 i think they were bringing up the killers from other scream movies who they think its good. Idk tbh
i predicted that the killer's motive would be revenge for some character that died on scream 5 and also predicted that it would be three killers from the same family, i just guessed the characters completely off, i was so sure about dr. stone ..
*Blinking* huh.
You did your best my dude. Your content is always a good watch. Can't wait for your scream 7 predictions!!!!
What are people on about in regards to the Sarah/Jenna debate 😆😆😆 Sarah Michelle Gellar was bigger back then than Jenna Ortega now
I avoided a lot before the movie so that I could go in without any real expectations. I’m glad I did as I think it made me enjoy it better. But I love watching your videos now. I think you have some of the most honest takes about 6 that are out there. Keep up the good work!
I didn't even watch the trailer
@@fans-ed1td I watched the teaser trailer but that was it
yea hearing how much the trailer showed idk how anyone that saw everything enjoyed the movie I’m glad I avoided everything
You still technically got Quinn just half right, cause she was the Fake Out Death Killer. They had us believe she died, but nope! I love your videos and it is so cool how you went back to review your predictions!
I GUESSED THERE WERE GONNA BE 3 KILLERS. I just felt it in my bones and my friends didn’t believe I was gonna be right and I was… I felt so powerful
Not to be THAT person but... Did you get Quinn right? There was a specific category for Fake Out Death Killer... So I'd take you half a point off for her, cause you weren't wrong but you were a category off from being 100% right.
I did well with my predictions. I didn’t think they’d go 3 GF’s so I thought it would be 2/3 from Quinn, Ethan and Bailey.. Of the 13 main characters I had the right lives/dies predictions except for Kirby, Chad and Tara who I thought would all die
Yeah I got the killers but I really thought more people would die (I thought it would be Chad, Tara, and Gale)
I just wanna say how much I enjoy when u post. Your channel is so fun because I find out so much information on so many movies. You also just make great content
Although Chad was a survivor he fits by his sister in fake out death survivor. -1
Quin you said it yourself. -1
Kirby might even have been a fake out death survivor, same with gale. Idk I think you should do a reaction to your reaction to know for sure
In my group of friends, only one thought it was Kirby. because "they never had a survivor become the killer before." The rest of us pretty much figured it out as some combination of the 3 actual killers. based on Ethan being so "hiding in plan slight" and Quinn and cop dad mentioning losing a son/brother the year before.
If Twitter and TikTok existed in the 90s Sarah Michelle Gellar's fame in 97 could be way bigger than Jenna Ortega's nowadays.
Yup
I think the family being killers all together was pretty cool lol.
I wish they would’ve worked it out as a fake out death opening kill for Samara and had her come back as a killer cause she would be such a good killer
Mindy is always caught in the crowsfire. Im hoping in 7 she stands up to the killer more.
I think you deserve a full point for Jason. It's a great list as always, zach 💜🙏🏻
as unnecessary as kirby’s addition felt i’m just glad she was there because hayden panettiere always steals the spotlight
I guess one correct I knew Ethan would be ghostface cause his shirt was a close representation or modern verison ig of Billy loomis shirt 🤷♀️ but for the most part I was pretty clueless
I couldn't predict any of that even as I was watching the movie, congrats
Chad is new Dewey and I’m ok with that. I just wish we had OG Dewey there too 😂🤷🏾♂️
This was pretty neat to watch. You were on the right track for so much of this!
10:57 scream 5 promos did all that?!? no wonder everyone guessed the killers going in. i make it a habit to not watch any trailers for movies like this so i never knew they literally showed sam stabbing richie 😭
I have been wondering what is behind you in your room. Are the big squares with horror movies covers on them, are they vinyls.
People think Jenna Ortega is a bigger star than Sarah Michelle Gellar??? Agreed. No way were they around back then.
Fucking hell, I recognized her because my sisters watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I don’t think it is actually comparable. Simply because of how different times were when Sarah was at her peak
Would you do a references video again for this movie because they were a lot of references in Scream 6 and not just to the previous five movies
I’ve been watching you ever since 50k❤️ such an amazing journey
I really want 2 female ghostface hopefully for scream 7
Your predictions were far better than what we actually got.
When you said Tara was actually queer I had to rewind to make sure I heard it right. I just wasn't expecting that haha 😂. Love the content !
But also Jason and Greg are ghostfaces, and it takes away from the whole opening scene to just think of them as victims
Greg is not a Ghostface.
@@silentsaturn7604 Greg would have been, but yeah he never killed anyone. Jason did, so I would count him.
Quinn is a fake out death killer so I guess you got the point
Another thing checked of my needs list.
I caught a bunch of hate for guessing scream 5 would have 5 killers. Ended up predicting a movie that hadn't been thought of yet 😂 thanks scream 6
Least they sort of found a way to fit Kirby in that made some sense for her to be there! Lol
They should have made her a killer
Imagine Thinking SMG Wasn’t THAT GIRL In The 90s! Buffy Was One Of The Biggest Shows In Television History! She Clocked More Screen Time In The 90s Alone Than Jenna Ortegas Whole Career!
If they do make a scream 7 you should do a category called irrevelant characters just in case they have a Frankie type character again where they’re only in one unimportant scene towards the beginning and are never seen or heard from again. Just a thought
The funny thing to me is that because of the design of the Scream movies, it leads to guessing scenarios where the logic is "Oh, they havent done this before!", when really the way to tell is through the motive - the same way you'd figure out a whodunnit regularly. It is testament to the genius of this franchise that one of the core things to keep in mind in fact gets overlooked so easily.
I was surprised none of the cast from last film died, personally I had Chad to die in my prediction
A couple things:
1) I think you deserve a full point for calling Jason an opening kill. That entire sequence was an extended opener where first Jason kills someone, then he becomes the opening kill for the “real” Ghostface of this movie. Yes, he is another Ghostface copycat within their world, but in the context of the plot of this particular movie, his role was a really creative opening kill victim.
2) You should cut yourself a little slack. You couldn’t have predicted that basically every main cast member in this movie would either survive their wounds or be a killer themselves. Surely someone would die in this slasher movie. I guess her name was Anika, however to be fair, she also survived her stab wounds and only died because she fell to her death.
my theory for Segura's character is that he was going to be a third killer with Jason and Greg but when he saw that they had been killed he pulled back and decided to hold off and he will be the one wearing Billy's mask in 7 or at least be a killer in 7
That's a cool theory. I've seen people say he could have been a fourth with the Baileys, that when he goes to getvthe cops it is so they can find the staged killings with Sam as the killer. When he shows up with the cops at the end, he had to quickly change tactics since Sam and the others survived. If that is true could be the first returning character killer.
Not saying i buy it just a theory i have heard. I've never heard a motive with this theory but since they are all connected to Richie, childhood best friend maybe.
Kirby was definitely the red herring in this movie for sure 😅 boy I was so right when I saw the end
One thing that made no sense to me was why did Ethan save Mindy. It felt weak no letting her die. That was just to throw the viewing audience off. Now for Scream 7, will it come out that the sisters have another half sibling from their father to further mirror the first 3 movies? And to think about how much luck it took that the four of them went to the city where the father of one of the killers was a police detective.
I remember LOVING the Mrs Loomis reveal at the theater, because the momento Gale run into her at the pay phone I said to a friend: "This random woman is everywhere, it's like she's the killer!"
I can’t wait for you to do a who killed who on this movie I’m waiting 😊
When I first watched it i almost instantly knew it was Ethan. That's what kind of ruined it for me. It didn't keep me guessing on who the killer could be. Quinn was pretty unexpected tho
Half point for Danny being the love interest & half for 3 killers & possible separate motivations
Only watched the movie once but can’t remember the Frankie character at all.. lol
No one shall harm our Kirby ❤️❤️❤️
Damn you’re good! From the core(four)group, to the similarities, and having three ghostfaces. I was one of the ones that thought that Tara was going to be a killer simply because she was supposed to be Amber’s gf. About the red herring I believe Hayden was the red herring. Next time you make s prediction video please go with your instincts!
Jesus Zack, you fucking nailed almost all of this. Well done.
oh my god everyone facing forward died and everyone facing sideways lived
When I read the Wikipedia article on scream 6 the only mention of sams character was in the cast section.
He did so little that he was never mentioned in the plot summary
Going into this I was confident in 3 killers but still got excited actually seeing 3. Going into the movie I predicted Officer Bailey, he seemed so likely to be the alpha ghostface. As soon as we didn't see Quinn die I guess her. I didn't guess the motive, but that's cause I was hoping they wouldn't retread the "you killed my murderous child" and that's exactly what they did. It was a very fun movie but the last act with so many survivors, people walking away from what should be fatal attacks, and the killers losing their intensity once unmasked it hurt a great movie from being amazing.
When me and my friends were doing our picks for who the killer was, I actually picked Quinn as a killer. Unfortunately I only got her right I picked Anika and Laura too but I actually did predict that there would be 3 killers which I was genuinely surprised that there was going to be 3 this time
I’ve been waiting for this one 😈
Funny how if you’re a scream fan you can now just predict these movies based on casting. Like, of course, Jack Quaid was one of the killers.
One thing I just noticed, all of the people who killed at least once, have the knife, in the promo shot, towards the left side of their face, except Tara who is the red herring.
Love the content Zack!
Do you plan making some Scream: The TV Series videos? Love your content !! Good vibes, keep it up !!
I don't even remember Frankie in the movie 🤣
Frankie was the guy that nearly raped Tara at that party
You get all the points in the steal my heart contest
I'm impressed you guessed one of the ghostfaces right. 👏
So after scream 5 not hiding who ghostface was from the moment the actors shared a scene on screen. I went into scream six with the ghost faced reveal spoiled already and it made the movie 1000 times better.
