Scream VI moves its masked terror out of a small town and into New York City, following a group of survivors trying to outrun a fresh wave of Ghostface attacks in this 2023 slasher directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett.
What is Scream about?
Four young survivors of the previous film's rampage — Sam and Tara Carpenter along with twins Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin — try to start over in New York City, only to find that a change of address does not mean a change of danger. A new masked killer takes up the Ghostface identity and begins targeting the group, forcing them to work through unfinished business from their hometown while navigating a city that offers no easy hiding places. Franchise veterans Courteney Cox and Dermot Mulroney reappear alongside the newer cast, tying the sequel back to the series' long history even as it pushes the story into unfamiliar territory. The film leans on the series' trademark blend of self-aware humor and escalating set-piece tension, using the city's crowds and confined spaces to keep the group — and the audience — off balance.
About the cast
Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega return as Sam and Tara Carpenter, with Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding as Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin. Roger L. Jackson again provides the Ghostface voice, and Courteney Cox and Dermot Mulroney reprise their long-running roles, with Jack Champion also part of the cast.
Context & significance
Scream VI is the sixth entry in a horror franchise that began in the 1990s and helped define the modern self-referential slasher, with each installment building on the mythology and inside jokes established by the ones before it. Moving the setting from a small town to New York City marks one of the series' more significant changes of scenery.
