This latest instalment stabs itself in the foot at the outset by lurching even further into self-parody than its predecessor.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 17, 2025

In every way, Scream VI is an improvement from its limp predecessor. Using the franchise’s prolonged nature to its advantage, rather than treating it as an elephant in the room, Radio Silence finally injects real honest-to-god new blood into Scream.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 22, 2024

Scream VI stands out in every way from the other Scream sequels that came before it.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 25, 2024

It's not that there isn't gas left in the tank of the franchise, there could definitely be more done exploring how violence breeds violence but this film feels so beholden to what came before that the twists don't feel so shocking.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 5, 2024

The latest instalment in the Scream franchise pays tribute to the lore of Ghostface with a thrilling screenplay.

| Jun 10, 2024

... A scary and profoundly fun continuation of the saga that takes it in a new direction without neglecting its legacy. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 8, 2023

Scream VI retains the tongue in cheek jabs at itself and the horror/slasher genre that many believe the original Scream revitalized so many years ago, while also keeping the gore and kill count high.

Scream VI is empty calories that takes its dynastic roots and squanders them. Super fans will have moments of joy and recognition, but they will soon be dulled when they realise that’s all they are getting.

| Sep 6, 2023

The most brutal and thrilling Scream film yet. It's at its best when it focuses on doing something new with Ghostface.

| Aug 16, 2023

“VI” has much to offer for old-school fans and newcomers alike; it’s the most brutal and freshest sequel to date.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 16, 2023

As a series it creaks and strains, but as an individual film there are more than a few highlights to keep the fanbase satisfied

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 11, 2023

With all that in mind, Scream VI is actually way better than it should be. It has many of the same flaws as its immediate predecessor but without the baggage of needing to be this great saviour of a long-dormant horror franchise.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 29, 2023

The leads, Barrera and Ortega, are both talented young women who step into this icon franchise seamlessly.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 28, 2023

If Craven’s universe too often overcalculated the niftiness of shrewd self-awareness, this smugness at last begins to feel diluted through the necessity of appealing to a younger generation more accustomed to streaming content...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2023

Scream VI is satisfying enough. The new location and sets bring much-needed freshness to the franchise. The killings have never been this visually violent and gory, elevating the entertainment levels of a pretty fast-paced story.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 25, 2023

“Scream VI” goes above and beyond with blood and how characters are killed than previous installments. The subway scene teased in the initial trailer is one of the more nail-biting and disorienting sequences the “Scream” films have attempted.

| Jul 25, 2023

Scream 6 is the PERFECT follow up! An all out blood fest! Filled with the some of the best kills for the franchise & still a great game of GUESS WHO! Melissa Barrera & Jenna Ortega solidified themselves as the perfect new leads. I’m in love and obsessed

Scream VI is livelier than most current popcorn horror flicks and creates enough goodwill that a new Scream (or two or three) will be embraced with open arms.

| Jul 24, 2023

The characters are interesting and backed by great performances from all involved, the kills are bloody and gory and the new setting was one of the best ideas this franchise has delivered in a long while.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 24, 2023

Scream 6 feels closer to Craven’s original tense but immensely fun approach to the franchise than ever before while also offering enough fresh changes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 23, 2023
