People who caught the early shows said that the jumpscares were "well-worth one's time and money." One cinephile tweeted, "#ScreamVI is a major improvement from Scream 5. I am happy Melissa Barrera is leading this film," while someone else said, "Scream VI's character work was just too good. Made every kill and near kill so good because you do NOT want to lose anybody."
Here's what critics and journalists said about the horror film
Journalist Rob Dean wrote in his review, "Scream VI makes a strong argument that when the movies are this entertaining, they can't simply be waived off or easily condemned." Irish Film Critic's review said, "As with previous installments, every time the killer(s) was revealed, it was a huge surprise, and even here, it still manages to elicit a sense of shock and disbelief."
What is the movie all about?
Going by the description on IMDb, the film is about "the survivors of the Ghostface killings [who] leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter in New York City." The film is based on the characters originally created by James Vanderbilt, Guy Busick, and Kevin Williamson.
