The sixth entry in the franchise manages to hold onto the chills and spills established in part 5, while ratcheting up the brutality, gore, and violence.
Melissa Barerra and Jenna Ortega reprise their roles from part five and continue to bring their own particular brand to the franchise. 6 feels like more of a direct sequel to 5, than any of the other adjacent entries.
The plots for these things ar approaching the absurd, but the identity of the killer kept me guessing, there were some genuine horror koments, and the leads were entertaining and likeable.

Some fun exploration of fan culture and movie fans is to be had as the franchis within the franchise, STAB, seems to be going totally off the rails.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 2019
A dumpster fire of narrative hot mess, with more holes in the first half hour of plot than a prarie dog village.
That being said, it's still a fun swashbuckling space opera adventure that might have functioned on its own, if not for the crushing weight of its own franchise.
