The monologue and the long closing shot, perfecto

Yeahhh that closing shot was properly manic! Loved spotting all the nods to the previous film too.

More thoughts later, but Iām thinking my Scream rankings would be
1 >>> 5 > 4 > 2 >> 6 >>>>>> 3
6 was actively enjoyable but plenty of flaws, 3 is the only bad one of the bunch
Definitely need to rewatch 4, cannot remember it at all
Weekendās watches:
Pearl - yeah this is as good as everyone has said. I loved the look and sound of it, genuinely felt like it couldāve been a Sirk film rather than a 2022 film masquerading as that (Marlowe). Intrigued a lot by Maxxxine to see how Howard comes into it more
Nocebo - seen people be a bit muted about this but I really liked it. Think they gave away the motivations of the helper a bit too early but it was good to see a South East Asian horror in this way. Hated that little girl 'Bobsāthough
Infinity Pool - loved this. Think the whole āmost out there film of the yearā is a bit much but I went in blind and loved where it went. Think Mia Goth might be better in this than Pearl - theres a scene of her on a car bonnet being so obnoxious, its great. The orgy scene is brilliantly done too
Sound of Violence - liked this too! A girl who finds her deafness is helped by violence goes about things. Think the central pulse of the story is a bit muddled but it goes a lot darker and grislier than I thought . Pretty much a 70s/80s almost giallo like film made recently.
Good weekend

Good selection there 
I was a bit down on Nocebo bit I suspect I had overhyped it a bit to myself tbfā¦
Impressive filmography the new queen of horror has already established

Yeah I did see your post. Do agree that the first half is stronger but it kept me entertained throughout. Think oddly helped that I had it in mind it was gonna be average and also I thought it was going to be about something completely different so when the element of Dianaās character was introduced, I was for it. Mark Strong seemed to be in an oddly underwritten part though

Really hyped for Infinity Pool now
Maxxxine too, must be one of the weirder trilogies where it seems loads of people were shrug about the first, bang into the second, so the third really feels wide open for anything to happen

Sheās a hometown hero around here (New Cross) and SLB has a great record for getting into fights whenever he visits my local pub with her

Iām really starting to hate the new-gen Scream films, but donāt want to be a wet blanket about it either if people are enjoying them. Just not for me at all, very āformulaicā which is kind of what the original was not

Thought Iād go for some found-footage. The Outwaters - I was pretty frustrated by it unfortunately.
The first 30 minutes is just meaningless dicking around by the characters, and none of them are interesting. The setup, that theyāre going to shoot a music video in the desert, is way too thin for a film thatās 110 minutes long. I was into some of the scares but thereās lots of stuff I expect to be better in this type of film nowadays.
Not seen many films this year and feel like theyāve been quite bad too. Oh well. High hopes for Infinity Pool next week.

Planning to give Deep Red a go tonight; have somehow managed to avoid any significant spoilers about this, so am well up for it.
