The sixth installment of the ‘Scream’ franchise seems to successfully pass the test of not having Neve Campbell
The murderer ghost face it’s back. Or, more specifically, who hides behind his mask in the new ‘Scream 6’, since in each installment of the franchise his identity (or identities) is different and the revelation of who the murderer is is one of the peak moments of every movie.
the new horror movie will trade Woodsboro for New Yorkmoving the action for the first time outside the town that experienced the Ghostface crimes for the first time in 1996 in ‘Scream: Watch who’s calling’the film directed by Wes Craven that revolutionized the slasher and produced a new wave of teen horror with films like ‘I know what you did last summer’ or ‘Urban Legend’.
But, in addition to moving to The Big Apple, the saga faces the absence of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) for the first time in almost 30 years. Many changes that, on the other hand, surely needed a franchise in the process of passing the baton to a new generation led by Jenna Ortega, the new “scream queen” of the genre after starring in ‘X’ and ‘Wednesday’the Netflix series.
The first reactions are beginning to arrive from the US, and seem to confirm the good feelings that ‘Scream 5’ left us and the good work of the collective Radio Silence (directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) Behind the cameras.
I don’t know how they do it but the Scream team did it again. #ScreamVI is maybe the most twisty turny installment yet with great tension, gross kills and another smart, timely hook. Kept me guessing in every scene. Great use of NYC too. How is this franchise still this good? pic.twitter.com/OOVe90SsWe

#ScreamVI ditches the inert energy of the previous film for a setting shift that leads to a much more playful, gory, and all around ambitious sequel that marks a true return to the “anything goes”, heavily satirical ethos of the series. Verdict: it rocks!

#ScreamVI you have done it again! A fresh location, higher stakes, bloodier kills & a #ghostface that keeps you guessing at every turn. I loved the meta humor, Easter eggs & twisted look at legacy. So impressive this is the SIXTH movie in a franchise that never gets old. A must watch! pic.twitter.com/CXZw3hxhqc

The reviews are so enthusiastic that practically it is impossible to find a negative review on social networks, leaving the hype soaring. We’ll have to wait for the next one friday march 10 to see if what is being said about ‘Scream 6’ is true or is it just the typical exaggeration of new releases.
