Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 8, 2023

Scream VI retains the tongue in cheek jabs at itself and the horror/slasher genre that many believe the original Scream revitalized so many years ago, while also keeping the gore and kill count high.

Scream VI is empty calories that takes its dynastic roots and squanders them. Super fans will have moments of joy and recognition, but they will soon be dulled when they realise that’s all they are getting.

The most brutal and thrilling Scream film yet. It's at its best when it focuses on doing something new with Ghostface.

As a series it creaks and strains, but as an individual film there are more than a few highlights to keep the fanbase satisfied

With all that in mind, Scream VI is actually way better than it should be. It has many of the same flaws as its immediate predecessor but without the baggage of needing to be this great saviour of a long-dormant horror franchise.

The leads, Barrera and Ortega, are both talented young women who step into this icon franchise seamlessly.

If Craven’s universe too often overcalculated the niftiness of shrewd self-awareness, this smugness at last begins to feel diluted through the necessity of appealing to a younger generation more accustomed to streaming content...

Scream VI is satisfying enough. The new location and sets bring much-needed freshness to the franchise. The killings have never been this visually violent and gory, elevating the entertainment levels of a pretty fast-paced story.

“Scream VI” goes above and beyond with blood and how characters are killed than previous installments. The subway scene teased in the initial trailer is one of the more nail-biting and disorienting sequences the “Scream” films have attempted.

Scream VI is livelier than most current popcorn horror flicks and creates enough goodwill that a new Scream (or two or three) will be embraced with open arms.

The characters are interesting and backed by great performances from all involved, the kills are bloody and gory and the new setting was one of the best ideas this franchise has delivered in a long while.

Scream 6 feels closer to Craven’s original tense but immensely fun approach to the franchise than ever before while also offering enough fresh changes.

While Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan was the worst film in that entire series, this trip to NYC is decidedly more worthwhile.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 23, 2023

Scream VI was undeniably fun. I can genuinely see the Scream franchise going on forever. It’s a franchise that reacts to the zeitgeist and then feeds on whatever trendy generational buzz word will make cinephiles post screenshots on Twitter.

The killer could have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling kids.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Jul 21, 2023

Scream VI is a satisfactory entry that manages to breathe life into a franchise that frankly seemed set to expire after the 2022, Scream.
