GamesRadar+. “I love what [Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin] they were doing before. Nothing against them. In fact, I thought they were taking a really exciting route.
Lillard noted that he was not a fan of the Venice scene Sixth scream. “I thought the movie got too violent,” he said. “I think number 6 was like… I don’t think Ghostface needs a gun at all. I think the movies – everything is trying to repeat what we did in the first movie in so many ways. Like an obsessive monologue at the end. It’s really hard to do that. I hope Kevin takes it in a new, brave, exciting direction so we can find different colors and different joys.
