“Who cares about movies?” asks the killer in the form of ‘Ghost Face’ early in the film “Shout 6“, the sixth in the slasher film franchise, which will begin with the “Shout 5” in 2022, which was mostly well made. The fifth entry in the series directed by the horror icon Wes Craven was steeped in nostalgia, going so far as to return to the site of the original film. “Shout 6“ Invoking a different kind of nostalgia, taking what made the original College’s sequel and trying to step it up a notch.
Six months after the killing spree of Richie Kirsch and Amber Freeman in Woodsboro, the four core stars – Sam (Melissa Barrera) and Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega) and the twins Chad (Mason Gooding) and Mindy Mix-Martin (Jasmine Savoy Brown) – move to New York to study at Blackmore College. However, Ghost Face is not too far away, and the bodies begin to pile up as the four stars, their new friends and some familiar faces prepare for another bloody showdown.
“Shout 6“doing some right things by following the path of”Shout 5“. The decision to move the action to New York City is an inspired one – feeling helpless in a huge city is all the more terrifying when masses of people around you simply don’t care to help. With a higher population density, New York also allows for a much higher body count. Ghost Face Maybe more menacing than ever, but it also looks like everyone’s enjoying the environment. The heroes may not be at their best being chased through subway cars and dark alleys, but the rampaging killer with a sharp tongue and an even sharper knife is happily slashing his way through Manhattan, and that’s actually the benefit.
the film “Shout 6” tries to play on the line between humorous horror and paying respect to the established narrative. The attempt at cleverness fails, as seemingly smart characters, all of whom have been through the previous killing spree, do the same crazy things to risk their lives. The characters joke about breaking genre paradigms, and then Ignoring their own advice – it doesn’t make sense.

It’s a dynamic beginning that sets a high bar that, sadly, the rest of the film never comes close to achieving.”shout” The first caught our attention with the murder of Drew Barrymore. No one saw the plots of Stu Macher and Billy Loomis. James Underbilt and-Guy Busick, who also wrote the fifth film from 2022, had to sprinkle creativity throughout. As mentioned, it is impossible to have a beginning that dramatically surpasses the end. It’s like starting at the top of the mountain and falling to the bottom.
In the end, the masked killer known as ‘Ghost Face’ shreds New York City to a bloody pulp. The knotty death scenes are an aspect that has improved. But carnage fans will be satisfied if vicious slaughter is the only requirement in this film. To-“Shout 6” There weren’t enough quality scares or a logical plot to interest the rest of the viewers.
