Spoilers forward for Jurassic World Rebirth.
Jurassic Park is likely one of the greatest sci-fi motion pictures ever, and I am a part of the technology that was raised on the franchise. I’ve saved up with all the films (that are streaming with a Peacock subscription), and went to see Gareth Edwards’ Rebirth on opening evening. I loved the brand new Jurassic World film, however as a hardcore Scream fan I could not assist however discover scene felt so much like Scream VI’s Ghostface scene within the bodega. Hear me out.
Within the third act of Jurassic World Rebirth, the surviving human heroes are at a gasoline station, the place they’re out of the blue attacked by mutadons. And because the characters crawl across the aisles and attempt to distract the brand new creature, it actually felt like an nearly beat-for-beat recreation of 1 notably terrifying sequence from Scream VI (streaming with a Paramount+ subscription). As a reminder, you’ll be able to test it out under:
Watch On
I imply, am I loopy for seeing the similarities? Within the new sequence, which is included within the Jurassic World Rebirth trailers, the heroes are additionally silently making an attempt to keep away from a killer whereas in a small shops. They’e each obtained to crawl and check out to not make noises, and throw a small can with a view to distract the mutadon/Ghostface. They each additionally function pictures of characters behind a shelf as their stalker is proven immediately above them.
To be trustworthy, each Scream VI and Rebirth crushed and crafted thrilling scenes. So I’ve to offer the solid and crew their props. However as a result of I am a horror nerd who thinks Scream is one of the best horror film ever, I discovered myself seeking to my associate/ fellow moviegoers to see if anybody else was seeing these similarities.
I am not saying that the parents behind Rebirth purposefully ripped off, Scream VI. In reality, I might inform that the gasoline station scene was a contemporary tackle Jurassic Park‘s iconic kitchen sequence. However there have been simply so many related pictures that I used to be a bit distracted watching that specific a part of Edwards’ new sci-fi blockbuster.
It is a good time to be a horror fan, and each Scream VI and Jurassic World Rebirth pack a ton of scares all through their runtimes. Whereas we already know that Scream 7 is on the way in which, it needs to be attention-grabbing to see if the brand new Jurassic film finally ends up kickstarting a model new sequence of flicks. Followers weren’t thrilled with how the final trilogy ended with Dominion, and it is give attention to bugs relatively than precise Dinosuars. So Rebirth may start a brand new trilogy… if it performs effectively on the field workplace and people go to the theaters over the vacation weekend.
Jurassic World Rebirth is in theaters now as a part of the 2025 film launch record. I am personally hoping for motion pictures, for Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson’s chemistry alone.
