Scream VI Ratings & Reviews
- jackmeatDecember 7, 2025My quick rating - 6.5/10. Let's see how they do without Neve Campbell. Not only did they do fine, I will take this entry slightly over last year's reboot of the horror series (review). This is mainly due to one factor: They have unleashed an even more brutal version of the Ghostface killer. Beyond that, if you thought enough already about the whole Scream idea and the last one was overkill or just a cash grab, then do not bother with this one. If you are still reading, then you will want to know the good. First off, the kills are quite nice, and I do like the relentless version we have this time. So if you want more blood, then you will be satisfied. They also do a nice job of taking the retread characters from Scream 5 and giving them a bit more depth. Not saying that is necessary for a horror flick, but at least I got a better feel for their plight this time. Getting Jenna Ortega front and center after becoming the Hollywood darling of Wednesday was a must, and it worked seamlessly. Her and older sister Melissa Barrera leave Woodsboro and make a home in New York City in hopes of putting that bit of the past behind them. But we wouldn't be here for the requel-sequel if that were at all possible. And this time they decide to really double down on the formula that has been the driving force of these flix, "whodunit". Even though you are prepped to start guessing who it is right away, the writers made sure to throw plenty of crumbs around to keep you wondering. You will really get pulled into this one right away as it opens up at full tilt with a couple of nice kills before the credits are even rolling. And not too long into the mayhem will we see Courteney Cox again reporting on the familiar gruesome happenings. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett work up some really nice set pieces and find a way to bleed out every last drop of the scenes they are designed for. A favorite is a simple corner store robbery that turns into a bloodbath when Ghostface shows up. Only the fans of the series need to check this out since it doesn't bring anything new to the table, but it does enough to separate itself from being mundane, which is exactly what I expected to happen.
- VarunOctober 19, 2024After 5 Scream movies and a tv show, I’m impressed that this part still managed to misdirect me on the killer’s identity and motives. Ghostface is more brutal and menacing than ever before and the action scenes were enjoyable. The New York City vibe is a nice change from the small town vibes of the past movies and the colour tone made it even more cinematic. The main cast is great, the additional cast I found to be a bit weak this time but overall they were decent. I think part 6 is as good as, if not better than the previous film and I’m excited to see how they develop this franchise going forward. Update (22-11-2023): There’s nothing to look forward to as the franchise is dead now that Spyglass decided to fire Melissa Barrera for supporting the basic human rights of Palestinians and Jenna Ortega dropping out. The only hope is if it’s sold to a different company and they get the main cast back together. It took 11 years to bring back and revitalise Scream and Spyglass killed it in one day smh
- tigerp12December 21, 2024I love it super good may have gore but everything in it is really good not ok for children
- LivewireAdminDecember 2, 2025"F*ck this franchise." It's hard to dislike any Scream entry with them being so self-deprecating however this one is in the bottom tier for me. There's a lot that works: the change in setting, the new characters are able to expand their roles and some genuinely exhilarating set pieces (the bodega and subway sequences stand out). It was a mistake not bringing Neve Campbell back. I know it was a money dispute but pay her what she deserves, she ALWAYS helps anchor any entry. Barrera is great and Ortega's stardom is still rising but Sydney is a must! Courtney Cox was under-utilized and this one might have the worst villain reveal of them all? I remember genuinely being taken out of the movie when the masks came off lol I know the last thing I should be looking for in these movies is realism but come on, if somebody gets stabbed like 15 times and they don't die?? Well then there's really not much that's off the table. But just to be clear, a Scream movie can be absolute ass and I'll show up for the next one.
- ricomckeeNovember 22, 2025A great sequel and addition to the Scream films. It goes back to the beginning and everything in-between. It is more brutal and violent and the twist on the opening kill scene is good. Unfortunately, this entry will be marred with their refusal to pay Neve Campbell a decent salary and so Sidney is absent.
- SandyOlson78November 4, 2025It's soooo good! It might be my second favorite Scream movie, my favorite obviously being Scream (1996). Ethan is hot🔥

- ርልዪረOctober 11, 2025Plot: Following the events of Scream (2022), the surviving characters leave Woodsboro and move to New York City, only to find that Ghostface has followed them. The film follows the group as they try to survive the urban setting while uncovering the new killer’s identity. Strengths: Fresh Setting: Moving the action to New York City adds variety and creative opportunities for kills and suspense. High Stakes: The urban environment increases tension and stakes for the survivors. Blend of Horror & Humor: Maintains the series’ signature self-aware humor while delivering suspenseful moments. Strong Ensemble Cast: Balances returning characters with new faces effectively. Weaknesses: Predictable Twists: Some elements follow familiar franchise patterns, making certain reveals predictable. Pacing: Some sequences drag, slightly reducing tension. Less Original: Relies heavily on franchise nostalgia and prior formulas rather than breaking new ground. Overall: Scream VI is a fun and suspenseful continuation of the franchise. The new setting and mix of old and new characters keep the story engaging, even if it doesn’t fully reinvent the slasher formula. Fans of the series will enjoy the thrills and callbacks.
- ZokkiieAugust 12, 2025Fast, tense, and packed with some nasty kills, It makes good use of its New York setting. The cast keeps things fun, the action rarely drags, and Ghostface feels meaner than usual. The mystery’s a bit predictable, but it’s still an entertaining slasher.
- Kevin WardJuly 3, 2025My daughter has been dying to see this since it came out, but for some reason it’s just taken us a long time to get to the theater for this one. Had a really good time with her and my oldest son. Feels like they cranked up the violence a bit, which is always a plus for me when it comes to slashers. Several moments had Paisley wincing and squirming in her seat. It’s a one of the more predictable entries in terms of determining who the killer/s are. Still a really good time. As we’re leaving the theater, Paisley says, “So, if one of the rules is that they’ll subvert expectations….that really just means that there’s no rules.” And she’s absolutely right. The new setting is very a welcome change. I wasn’t much a fan of Melissa Barrera’s Sam, in Scream (5), but I thought it worked much better in this. She and Jenna Ortega’s Tara were an excellent tandem here.
- neuroparadoxJuly 29, 2025...If the killers last time were whiny snowflake film nerds with Letterboxd accounts instead of personalities... Bahahaha 🤣😂🔥🤔
- charliesimon778May 18, 2025I thought this movie was amazing that it took place in New York City. Including seeing the costumes of the ghostface killers and the evidence it showed in the small theater. I thought it was a little bit different how Sydney Prescott did not show up at all in this movie and that it didn’t show too much of Gale Weathers. I thought it was nice seeing Sam and Terra trying to defend themselves from the killer.
