Josh Segarra joins the cast as Danny, a love interest for Sam and a possible suspect. Her father NYPD detective Wayne Bailey (veteran actor Dermot Mulroney) leads the investigation into the new round of Ghostface killings. Liana Liberato joins the cast as Quinn, a student at Blackmore and roommate of Sam and Tara. Jack Champion (“Avatar: The Way of Water”) plays Chad’s roommate Ethan, who doesn’t want to die a virgin. However, part of the franchise’s fun is the fact that anyone can be a suspect. There are some new faces joining the lineup to raise the audience’s suspicion. Forget sequels, requels, and legacies, just concentrate on the killer or killers’ motives. Unfortunately, after six films it feels diluted and unnecessary. When director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson (credited now as Executive Producer) collaborated on the 1996 original, the concept was clever and well executed.
At this point, the filmmakers could probably do away with the “rules” concept relating to the movie-within-a-movie premise that fuels the franchise as this new generation of moviegoers would be satisfied with just someone wearing the mask and using the voice. Once it hits the news (those funny segments never mirror actual breaking news telecasts), The Core Four realize they are now in a “franchise” thanks to horror buff Mindy, the reboot series’ stickler for the rules. Within a few minutes, the film’s first killing takes place. Now anyone on TikTok can be the killer thanks to the new text-to-speech feature. Throughout the franchise, different killers wearing the Edvard Munch-inspired mask have had one thing in common, a Ghostface voice changer. Jackson providing the pivotal Ghostface voice.

You can’t have a “Scream” movie without Roger L. Weaving previously worked with Radio Silence on 2019’s “Ready or Not” as did Henry Czerny who also has a cameo in the film as a shrink who’s not equipped to handle Sam’s problems. There are several references to the film in “Scream VI” including a shot of the movie poster and the opening scene featuring Samara Weaving whose character (Laura Crane) shares the last name of Hitchcock’s protagonist. When you think of slasher films, the shower scene from Hitchcock’s “Psycho” with Janet Leigh’s Marion Crane remains the genre’s most iconic moment.
Guilty by heritage in the public’s eye since Sam is the daughter of original “Scream” killer Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) who keeps appearing to Sam as a hallucination urging her to embrace her inherited dark side. The reason for the move from Woodsboro, California to New York City is so Tara can attend the fictional Blackmore University along with twins Mindy and Chad while Sam blends in with the masses hoping to get away from all the negative attention directed at her after the legacy killings. The film’s marketing highlights the NYC location, but you’re not going to see Ghostface trolling Times Square, Central Park, or Ray’s Pizza. There is also a tense moment in a bodega to ground the film to the Big Apple, but it could easily be a small grocery store in Chicago. “Scream VI” was shot in Montreal and apart from the subway scene, the story could take place in several metropolitan cities. It took seven films before Jason took Manhattan in the “Friday the 13th” franchise. They are joined by fellow survivors the Meeks-Martin twins, Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and Chad (Mason Gooding), together the group calls themselves “The Core Four.” Apart from a couple of standout scenes and amped-up violence, expect business as usual. Directors Tyler Gillet and Matt Bettinielli-Olpin, aka Radio Silence, are back with a follow-up to 2022’s “Scream,” the fifth film in the horror franchise that served as a reboot and sequel, aptly referred to as a “requel.” Sam (Melissa Barrera) and her half-sister Tara (Jenna Ortega) are back to remind everyone that Latinas > Ghostface.
