Scream VI (2023) takes the iconic Ghostface slasher saga to the streets of New York City. Sam and Tara Carpenter, along with other survivors of the previous Woodsboro attacks, face a new Ghostface killer with personal ties to their past. The film intensifies its blend of slasher violence, black comedy, and "whodunit" mystery while exploring themes of legacy, revenge, and family bonds. Notably, it is the first film in the series without Sidney Prescott or Dewey Riley, as the focus shifts to the younger generation and their battle for survival.
Scream VI continues the terror a year after the events of Scream (2022). Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the film follows Sam and Tara Carpenter as they navigate life in New York City with fellow survivors. A new Ghostface emerges, prompting deadly confrontations in settings ranging from apartments to subway trains. The movie introduces fresh faces while bringing back Kirby Reed from Scream 4. The story delves into the Carpenter sisters’ struggles with public suspicion and trauma, heightened by Ghostface's connection to their past. Despite Neve Campbell's absence due to contract issues, the film is lauded for its inventive kills, fast-paced tension, and meta-commentary on modern horror franchises. It grossed $44.5 million in its opening weekend and received praise for its bold new setting and strong performances, particularly by Jenna Ortega and Hayden Panettiere. Critics highlighted its mix of nostalgia and fresh thrills, cementing its place in the franchise while leaving room for future sequels.
