Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.

Samara Weaving (Ready or Not, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) reprises her role as ‘Grace’ in Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett’s (Ready or Not, Scream VI, Abigail, the forthcoming new instalment in The Mummy Franchise) sequel READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME. Joining the film series is Kathryn Newton (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Abigail, “Big Little Lies”), Sarah Michelle Gellar (Cruel Intentions, I Know What You Did Last Summer, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), Shawn Hatosy (“The Pitt”), and Elijah Wood (The Monkey). Néstor Carbonell (The Dark Knight), Kevin Durand (Abigail), and David Cronenberg (The Fly) round out the cast. Guy Busick (Abigail, Scream) and R. Christopher Murphy (“Castle Rock”) return to pen the script, along with producers Tripp Vinson (Fountain of Youth, Murder Mystery), James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, Fountain of Youth), Bradley J. Fischer (Transformers), and William Sherak (Abigail, Scream).

Minutes in and the first blonde is dispensed with in a most bloody fashion. Playing the first hand dealt is a red herring but this accelerated level of energy helps to grab the audience’s attention. As the story develops there is more than a slight reliance on knowing the broad strokes of the franchise.

The Munch masked marauder is portrayed as an even more relentless killer and this fills every scene with a strong sense of danger. And in traditional slasher film shortcomings, no one ever carries out the much needed double tap, so things constantly escalate.

Paying dividends for fans of the first five, Scream VI is a thrill ride that is packed with self-referential easter eggs and gratuitous murders. It’s also peppered with twists a plenty (some you’ll see from a mile away and some not). The final resolution is so over the top, it’s a perfect way to make a memorable chapter pause for the oversaturated horror fan.

First, it must be said that the initial appearance of Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) slightly jars the senses with how old they actually look but that soon plays into the film’s storyline. The movie years have not been kind to the duo and their successes and failures are laid out for all to see.

It’s their daughters this time out that actually become the heroes of the day and Billie (Brigette Lundy-Paine) and Thea (Samara Weaving) have engaging energy together that adds a lot to the work. Their attempts to save the day provide the film’s most satisfying elements. When the girls recruit Mozart, Jimi Hendrix, and Duke Ellington for the house band, you know you are on to something sweet.

Bill & Ted Face The Music is unchallenging and borders on being a touch too simple, but it’s also the perfect film to counter these overly complicated times. Groove on Jimi jamming with Wolfie and Duke and pine for the presence of George Carlin, good fun is where you find it, just don’t look too deeply.

Little did she know the kind of family she was marrying into but she soon finds out on her wedding night. Observing a long held family tradition, they force her to play a game of hid and seek but this one comes with lethal consequences.

What makes the film so much fun is that Grace even with being scared out of her mind never loses her wise cracking sense of humour. She also doesn’t change into a retribution killing machine and spoil all the incremental fun. The suspense lingers and when she finally blows her cork, it’s quite the detonation.

In a nod to the anger towards the class system that exists between the rich and over privileged and the common man or woman in this case, it’s good fun to see the over monetised get their comeuppance. This happens with explosive effect. See this with the one you love as long as they are not your in-laws.
