In 1996 the Scream movie came out and I remember persuading my friend to drive me to the nearest cinema to watch. We both found it a combination of scary and funny. As it became a franchise, we kept watching the films and they never let us down. This time I thought it would be handy to share my Scream VI movie review on my blog.
Now, the latest instalment is in movie theatres and has again managed to attract big audiences. I went to check it out last week and had a great time.
What’s Going On?
I was delighted to see a new Scream movie last year which was satisfying and thrilling. However, I would never have expected another movie to come along quite so quickly. When the trailer suddenly appeared, I was pleasantly surprised.
There was no Sydney in this one but Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox) was a big part of this film. Alongside her, the two sisters from last year were now present as students living in New York. Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) played Tara and Melissa Barerra (In The Heights) played Sam. They both reprised their roles brilliantly alongside a couple of their friends, Mindy and Chad.
The Scream movies are a mix of horror and comedy. It is their tongue-in-cheek scripts that keep bringing me back for more. This one was not predictable and the one liners were distributed evenly throughout the movie.
When I asked my friend Harriet what she thought about Scream VI she said:
‘I like how we saw more detail of the knife actually going into the body.’
In other words, it got more gruesome in the darker moments. The director added extra detail into the violent scenes but the film still retained its humour. With contrasting moments of horror and comedy, I was definitely entertained throughout.
In A Nutshell
It is hard to discuss the Scream VI movie and not give away any spoilers. Without Officer Dewey there was a moment of reflection but Courtney Cox ensured that a legacy character was still available to bring on the drama.
My friend and I were constantly changing who we thought orchestrated the murders but neither of us guessed the final outcome. This instalment was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, with laughter, pulse raising bits and scenes where your heart feels as though it is going to burst through your chest.

I loved the first scream – though can’t believe how old it is now 😂 haven’t seen either of the new ones, maybe I should check them both out, glad to hear they’ve kept their humour
I bet you would find them amusing.
I’m never a big fan of the Scream series. However, this is a good review of the movie. Thank you for sharing.
I did watch screem last year but this year haven’t. And it seem interesting and better than the last one.
I love the scream franchise and can’t believe it’s gone on this long! I will probably watch the latest one when it is on streaming services.
Yes you will love it.
Wow I must go and see it
Such a great review! Must admit that I only watched the first one as it’s not really my genre, but glad you enjoyed it!
Haha I wonder what your genre is.
