10 Terrible Twists In Recent Movies That Pissed Us Off
10. Who Is Ghostface? - Scream VI (2023)
From the opening sequence of Scream VI, you can tell the filmmakers are trying extra hard to catch us out. Since this is the first entry to have THREE Ghostfaces, you'd think it would be impossible to guess it right.
Ironically, the big reveal is embarrassingly predictable. In the end, hero Sam discovers the murderous trio are Detective Bailey, his daughter Quinn, and his son Ethan. Annoyingly, this revelation is far from shocking, since many viewers deduced one, two, or all three killers, long before the masks came off.
Because the murderer is leaving the masks of previous Ghostfaces at the crime scenes, Bailey has to be the culprit, since he's the only one with access to the evidence locker. When Quinn is "murdered," Bailey mentions how devastating it is to lose his daughter shortly after losing his son. Because this line wouldn't be inserted into the scene unless it was relevant, many viewers assumed Bailey was talking about the previous Ghostface, Richie. With that in mind, it wasn't hard to put two and two together, reasoning that he and Quinn were in cahoots. Also, the camera never shows Ethan while Mindy is stabbed by Ghostface, clearly indicating they were one and the same.
If you didn't pick up on these clues, you can still determine Ghostface's identity by the process of elimination. There are only six new characters that make up Scream VI's main ensemble. Chad has a rock-solid alibi and Anika met her demise pretty early on. Save for Kirby, there's no characters left that could possibly be the killers.
