More indestructible than ever, Ghostface returns to theaters this Wednesday. Just a year after terrorizing a new generation of students who thought they were quiet in New York City. But no, and here we go again on a new wave of crimes, still orchestrated by the duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpini – Tyler Gillette, who will replace Wes Craven in 2022.
While previews are underway in France this Tuesday, March 7th, the day before its national release, few Americans have been able to discover this sixth scream. And share their opinions on social networks.
“So Scream VI starts with sadness and the rest (the murders – and there are a lot of them – are all violent). There’s a tension and grime to it that fits the New York setting and ‘Gang of 4’ owns the franchise. Still a lot of legacy, nostalgia Without leaning. How good!”
“I was delighted to see the new Scream tonight in the heart of New York. A phenomenal opening scene sets off a gruesome murder spree that cleverly captures the entire franchise. Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera are rock stars Jasmine Savoy Brown also. Great timing.”
“My thoughts on Scream VI are a bit more developed now that I’ve let the film mature overnight. Possibly the scariest Ghostface since the original. The kills are more gruesome, surprising and violent than ever, and Ghostface looks inhuman. Again.”
Arguably the scariest Ghostface since the original
“I’m lucky enough to be a hardcore Scream fan. Scream VI is fantastic. I feel like the franchise has fallen into the hands of Radio Silence as they continue to rock. Yes, Ghostface’s attacks and kills are particularly violent – some may even be. Franchise highs in terms of the tension between
“I don’t know how they do it, but the Scream team has done it again. Scream VI is probably the most boring episode ever with its twists and turns, but with great tension, dirty kills and a smart and relevant new lead. I’m done. Every scene is predictable. Great use of New York, too. How does this franchise stay so good?”
“Scream VI is a very solid movie. There are at least three twists that you won’t see that the movie hides very well.”
Scream VI is why horror needs to be seen in theaters
“(…) Here’s what I can say: Scream VI is must-see horror at the movies. Lots of inventive bravura bits that keep you coming back for sequences that will have you holding your breath and shattering the seatback of your stress chair. It’s defined the franchise since its inception. Especially think about the police car Screaming 2.”
“Scream VI is pretty solid! It takes advantage of the entire cast and manages to keep things in order. Bloody orgasms that break up the crazy murders and delicious twists that look like they just got out of jail. Another win for the franchise and the guys at Radio Silence. .”
“If you liked it Scream 5, you’ll love Scream VI. If not, you’re not sure you like it. I’m personally divided. I love Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, but the plot is too much of a cliffhanger for me. I liked the opening scene and some of the kills, but I wasn’t a fan of some of the twists. They seemed too confused to me. I also found some of the dialogues funny and not in a good way. I’m torn, but for sure it’s going to be a financial killer at the box office.”
With a budget of $24 million, the previous opus earned a 137.7 worldwide (and attracted 539,851 viewers in French theaters), making it the franchise’s fourth biggest success to date. Will Scream VI do better, especially with an effective marketing campaign and the exposure Jenna Ortega has acquired thanks to Mercredi? The first elements of the response from Wednesday.
