Scream VI is bloodier, scarier, & funnier, nodding to its past while carving a brutal path forward for Ghostface & the new franchise cast.
"Who gives a fuck about movies?" asks Ghostface early in Scream VI, the sixth entry in the beloved, referential slasher franchise that was rebooted with 2022's unfortunately named but mostly well-done Scream. Like the legacy sequels that Scream VI skewers, the fifth entry in the series helmed by horror icon Wes Craven was steeped in nostalgia, going so far as to return to the site of the original film's bloodbath for its own climactic conclusion.
Naturally, Mindy, taking her throne as the new Randy Meeks, gets another excellent monologue, taking aim at franchise filmmaking, name-dropping the deaths of everyone from Dewey Riley to Luke Skywalker to prove that no one is safe . The only one who's safe is Sidney Prescott, whose absence is briefly mentioned before the slashing continues. Luckily, there are a few legacy characters left.
Barrera's performance this time around is also a step up from the wooden inflection sometimes seen in 2022's Scream, as the In The Heights breakout gets a much meatier arc that promises interesting things to come. Of course, it's Ortega who's the star here. After a stellar 2022 that saw her become the newly-anointed Hollywood Scream Queen, Scream VI sees Ortega in top form.
