Just like Scream 5 was a requel to the OG Scream, Scream 6 is a requel to Scream 2, but also a direct sequel of Scream 5. It might seem confusing to the new generation of screamers, but the die-hard fans who grew up with the original three movies, will know exactly what I’m talking about after watching this wild and insane blood bath.

This is a spoil free review of Scream 6, so it’s most likely going to be short and sweet, which is nothing like the new movie, out today. Scream 6 is a two-hour, nonstop, thrill ride with some of the best scares and nastiest kills out of all of the movies combined. It’s an impossible movie to not give away hints about the plot and twists, so that’s why I’ll keep things surface level and cut right to the chase. Go into this movie with no expectations and definitely stay away from social media.

The opening scene is nothing that you would expect from a Scream movie and legit had Brooke and I extremely tense | full of anxiety. We were legit having heart palpitations from how realistic and dark it was. It’s beyond scary and something no one would ever want to experience in real life, let alone watch on the big screen.

Sisters Sam Carpenter (Melissa Barrera) and Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega) obviously survived in Scream (2022), so we find them in New York City months after the attacks and also attending college. They are accompanied by Chad and Mindy, the twins played by Mason Gooding | Jasmine Savoy Brown. These four friends are all survivors from last years Woodsboro mayhem and use their anger fueled revenge, to try and stop the killer for good.

Always in routine fashion, we have our legacy characters; Sam, Tara, Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and none other than Kirby Reed, played by the fabulous Hayden Panettiere. Kirby, who was left for dead in Scream 4, didn’t actually die from her stabbing and returns to the sequel kicking ass | taking names. Twelve years after her supposed death, we find Kirby in NYC with the gang, this time as the FBI, aiding the four core in catching the fucking psycho. Joined by a fresh slew of newbies, the movie begins to feel like you’re watching the 2023 version of 1997’s Scream 2. The suspense and mind-blowing kills are something completely different and make Terrifier look like a Disney movie.

Just like the college setting of Scream 2, Scream 6 mirrors that same energy, creepy vibes and unbelievable, shocking revelations throughout the film. Set at Blackmore College in New York City, nothing is off limits this time. Anyone can die and anyone could be the killer. Scream 6 takes the whodunit, meta-slasher horror experience to the next level. Shocking, disturbing and very clever, there is no time to catch your breath. In a city filled with millions of people, no one can hear them scream and what you’re about to see is the reason why we all go to the movies. Fun, terrifying and wonderfully entertaining, Scream 6 will 100% be the topic of conversation this weekend and at the office Monday morning.
