Scream 6 (2023)

 The 'Scream' franchise goes where others have gone before and "takes Manhattan", on Halloween no less. Actually relocating to an urban setting shakes things up a little and gives this IP a much needed shot in the arm. The extreme meta nature of these films can be as limiting as it is freeing, but I thought they struck a nice balance here. The new characters continue to develop nicely and I feel like I have a sense of where they plan on taking things in the future, if they do it right I will be pleased. I enjoyed this and with surprisingly few reservations, best 'Scream' of the 21st century. ***
