The Scream franchise is Wes Cravens’ brainchild who sadly has passed away now. The veteran horror director created the first Scream movie which happened to be the first Horror-Comedy. The stand out aspect about the film was it was so self aware that it pointed out all the generic horror movie tropes and then subverted it. Another subtle plus point that the film had was it borrowed the slasher trope of a maniac chasing and killing you but there was an element of surprise added to it as you didn’t know who was the person behind the mask with the knife. It was a marriage between slasher and murder mystery genres. The first Scream was amazing and the movies that followed because of the imminent success of the first were good as well. Surprisingly, the Scream franchise is the most consistent when it comes to delivering great movies in the horror genre unlike other franchises like Halloween or Friday the Thirteenth and according to the early reactions of the sixth film the franchise has once again passed with flying colors.
Scream 6 Is Scarier and Gorier!
Some lucky viewers and critics have already seen Scream 6 and have shared their short reviews and reactions for the film. For the most part, they appear to be pretty great making Scream 6 another solid entry to the franchise. However, we’ll ask you not to rely on these early reviews as these days we have seen a trend where first reviews for almost every film are great but the actual reviews and the film often turn out to be disappointing. So don’t hype yourself too much and manage your expectations. Anyways, check out some of these reactions below!
#ScreamVI is another solid entry in horror's most consistent franchise. The scariest and darkest of the series thus far, the film takes a good amount of risks and adds some clever subversions that I did not see coming. pic.twitter.com/ECOOkEE5KG

All I'll say for now is that you'd better secure your #ScreamVI opening weekend tickets now. I LOVED it and I'm still riding the high. Intense, thrilling, heartfelt, smart. I'm a happy, happy gal.

#ScreamVI is A DAMN GOOD TIME! In true sequel fashion, it’s BIGGER, BLOODIER and SCARIER. Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown and Courtney Cox all give awesome performances but Mason Gooding is the standout here. Watch out because #Ghostface isn’t playing any games. pic.twitter.com/d8AlnHVYKw

#ScreamVI keeps the long running franchise energized with BRUTAL gut splicing kills & TIGHT action. The twists keep you on edge & the BLOODY new faces are a welcome addition. Jenna Ortega & Jasmin Savoy are favourites. This is #Ghostface at their BEST! #Scream6 @ScreamMovies pic.twitter.com/e63BKtkDlt

#SCREAMVI is a SHARPLY written and tactically directed thriller that TWISTS expectations with every turn. It’s a love letter to the #SCREAM franchise featuring a fantastic cast and heart-pounding suspense. Jenna Ortega SLAYS and Ghostface has never been more terrifying. #SCREAM6 pic.twitter.com/Eh2zTavYuQ

#ScreamVI takes interesting and thrilling leaps from its predecessors. It has bigger chases, bloodier & gruesome deaths, plus a killer (!) opening sequence. Enjoyed seeing these characters again in a fun addition to the series that has plenty of easter eggs fans will admire. 🩸🔪 pic.twitter.com/XjVpCvmvge

#ScreamVI waves one mighty, red right hand. What a damn blast! It’s more about what’s going on in the characters’ heads than the sharp objects that enter it — delivering a refreshing entry with deep emotional nicks. Jenna Ortega is the film’s greatest weapon 🔪 pic.twitter.com/2c3StNPtkb

#ScreamVI — aka Ghostface Fakes Manhattan — is the best film since the original. The move to the Big Apple lead to the most audacious set pieces yet and it’s by far the most brutal of the series.

#ScreamVI is all killer, no filler, and brilliantly invests in both legacy and new characters. Stepping into New York City provides the ideal atmosphere for new and creative kills. Ghostface is deadlier than ever before. The Scream franchise is in excellent hands 🔪 pic.twitter.com/zkUlldYbTQ

#ScreamVI was such a fun time, with awesome brutal kills and intense chase scenes scream 6 delivers. NYC is used at its core and ghostface is not playing around, truly terrifying. Jenna Ortega slays once again!

Feeling very lucky to be a diehard #Scream fan. #ScreamVI is fantastic. So thankful this franchise fell into Radio Silence’s hands because they continue to crush it. Yes, the Ghostface attacks/killings are especially vicious – a few might be franchise highs in terms of tension. pic.twitter.com/f2RuYuq5OD

#ScreamVI owns the horror world now. It’s fresh, full of thrills, and manages to hit those emotional notes at every turn. Jenna Ortega is dynamite and the terror is at an all-time high. Scream for Scream VI.

#ScreamVI REVIEW: SHOCKING, VIOLENT & FUN. Jenna Ortega does it again! A WILD edging of your seat thriller that beats you off & creams your pants off. This isn’t just another slasher, it’s one the BEST horror films ever! WOW. A fitting end setting up what’s next #Scream #Scream6 pic.twitter.com/5U6Rt1fByF

New @ScreamMovies is a fucking blast!! So fun. So brutal. @jasminsavoy MVP. Can't wait to see it again. #ScreamVI

SCREAM VI is a more brutal offering from Tyler Gillett & Matt Bettinelli-Olpin as the carnage moves to the open streets of New York City where no one is truly safe. A sick, twisted breakdown of legacies & franchises. I’m now as invested in the core four as the original trio. pic.twitter.com/PpHVPzHk1T

So, #Scream6 starts gory and stays gory (the kills — and there are a LOT of them — are all brutal). There’s a tension and grime that comes with the NY setting, and the “core four” make the series their own. Still plenty of legacy, without having to rely on nostalgia. Bloody good! pic.twitter.com/XqnabIaKis

#ScreamVI is exactly what you want it to be and more. The tone is darker while still maintaining the wit that we love, the violence and gore has leveled up, the pacing is fantastic, and performances are great. The franchise hasn’t felt this tense or suspenseful since the… pic.twitter.com/M9N7jTtumm

#ScreamVI is a bloody good time, delivering what might be the franchise’s strongest entry since the original. It’s darker, gorier, and more violent than ever, all thanks to Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett’s creative use of the film’s New York City setting. Exemplified by… pic.twitter.com/m5L2UOSYTY

I got to see #ScreamVI today and, while it’s hard to really talk about without any sort of spoilers, I’ll just say I really loved it. Consistently surprising and impressive, never sacrificing the Scream spirit. And easily the best opening scene since ‘96.
Full review next week. pic.twitter.com/8B1AEMTDSt
