‘Scream VI’ review: A welcome meta-satire for mega-fans

'I can genuinely see the Scream franchise going on forever.'

: 1) Is it an engaging mystery from start to finish? 2) Is it unrelentingly brutal and intense? And finally, 3) Is it clever in its meta-ness? For mega-fans, myself included, this latestfilm hits all of these checkpoints. But what’s fascinating is that it actually hits some new notes that you wouldn’t really expect seeing in such a densely-packed, self-referential, slasher smorgasbord.

This becomes a core theme throughout the film, how scars, bloodshed, and fear connect Ghostface’s victims. That same trauma is ironically commodified, turned into in-world films, novelizations, and easy newspaper sensationalism. Mindy , the new Randy stand-in, even points out how they’re now in a franchise after the fifth film’s legacy sequel storyline.

There’s one really good scene in the film that I wish wasn’t spoiled in trailers because it would’ve been utterly suspenseful to see unfold the first time. There are wonderful set-ups for each scare, the locations used for the Ghostface encounters doing most of the heavy-lifting. Cramped subway trains, dark alleyways, mundane bodega stores, and ominous cinemas become nightmare fuel for the faint of heart.
