Scream VI builds to a powerful third act of grisly mayhem that is one of the best in the series. Read full review

Collider Ross Bonaime

It finds just the right combination of nostalgia and fresh blood, telling a story that manages to feel familiar in its winks at the past, but breaking with tradition in ways that are exciting and new for this series. Scream VI might be a sequel to a requel, but this franchise still finds new ways to feel original in its approach to this world. Read full review

Returning directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett show they have an eye for immersing us in well-constructed set pieces that earn their terror and are all distinct from each other. Read full review

Scream 6 does distinguish itself in the horror set pieces. Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (who also made the previous entry) clearly grasp that these movies are, at their best, mean. Read full review

Scream VI is a decent film with a transitional feel, a signal that you can take the show on the road and it still works. But it doesn’t leave you screaming for more. Read full review

In the final scenes of Scream VI, there are a lot of deaths unfolding, including, arguably, the demise of a once-vital film franchise. Read full review

The movie was pretty good and it has some of the most brutal kills in the entire franchise making the movie worth watching for those alone imo but its held back by the fact that they didnt kill enough of the main cast which is a true shame

Mesmo após 6 filmes, Pânico consegue manter certa regularidade na franquia, percebendo-se a si próprio como um subgênero de terror, traçando contornos metalinguísticos para criar sua história, ou seja, o filme fala, ri e reflete sobre si próprio.
A cada lançamento, não apenas as novasMesmo após 6 filmes, Pânico consegue manter certa regularidade na franquia, percebendo-se a si próprio como um subgênero de terror, traçando contornos metalinguísticos para criar sua história, ou seja, o filme fala, ri e reflete sobre si próprio.
A cada lançamento, não apenas as novas motivações vão ganhando força e exigindo dos roteiristas novos assassinos, mas também a própria história vai ganhando força, numa espécie de ritual, vangloriando-se, e construindo uma narrativa dentro do próprio cinema. É como assistir a uma interminável série de terror, cada episódio um assassino diferente.
Neste Pânico, as irmãs Tera e Sam novamente serão perseguidas, mas até la, já numa nova cidade e com novos amigos, muito sangue irá rolar. Literalmente. Há aqui uma maior quantidade de facadas e maiores cenas de perseguição, e por mais que o roteiro seja esquemático e conveniente (por onde o mascarado entra e sai, por exemplo, com tanta facilidade), é deliciosamente satírico e teso na medida certa.
Talvez o filme esteja apenas nadando de braços largos na zona de conforto. A única reviravolta de Pânico é a sua já comentada autointulação como filme de gênero (beirando a ironia) e novos vilões e sua motivações. A fórmula é a mesma, dessa vez contando com excelente equipe de atores, creio que de todos os filmes esse foi o que mais se aproximou do original em termo de qualidade dos coadjuvantes, todos com muita presença em tela, mesmo os mais apagados terão importância aqui.
Pânico sabe usar o seu nome, a sua marca, e promove sustos bem típicos do gênero. Consegue não apenas dialogar com seus antecessores, mas os traz para a narrativa, reforçando sua posição de prestigiosa franquia. Não irá inventar a roda, mantendo o que vem dando certo, deixando um frame para a típica narração e explicação dos fatos (quando todos se reuniram no páteo da escola e a amiga negra foi falando sobre o filme e acusando cada um, inclusive ela mesma, ao final, fora tomada como suspeita). De reto, muitas cenas de perseguição, ação, que se não fosse pelo talento dos envolvidos, poderia perder a linha. Muito bom ter alguns personagens de volta (Gale e o próprio Bill, em sombra do passado). E muito bom ver que a fórmula ainda funciona, não se levando tão a sério, autoconsciente do material que tem em mãos, apenas o incrementando aos dias atuais, como a relação que faz entre as fake news, a cultura de cancelamento e a autopromoção: até que ponto os personagens mantem as mortes para não caírem no ostracismo?. São pontos que renovam a franquia, trazendo um fôlego contemporâneo, com cenas gravadas em vídeos e postas na internet para viralizar.
Isto é, Pânico aposta na mesma fórmula, mas entendendo o seu público, falando para pessoas que vivem o século XXI, conectadas e usuárias das redes sociais.
Veja sem pretensão, sem ligar para os furos e a facilidade de um mascarado, por exemplo, esfaquear uma pessoa num metrô sem ser percebido (?). Sim, há muitas falhas deste tipo, tornando-o inverossímil às vezes. Mas é só se deixar envolver pelo mistério da identidade do mascarado, pelas suas motivações e pela criatividade das perseguições que tudo flui de forma a contemplar um grande filme de gênero.… Expand

Yes, this has a lot of meta talk, but even if you strip that away you still got a fun slasher with enjoyable characters. I didn’t like the reveal of the killer but, and the film itself makes that very clear, it actually doesn’t matter who kills whom, and who lives or dies.

Yes another one. No really another one. Hardcore fans of the Scream franchise may be excited for the sixth instalment of the slasher franchise but more casual fans like myself who only dip in and out are not infatuated enough to get on board with a mediocre sequel. Ghostface needs to take aYes another one. No really another one. Hardcore fans of the Scream franchise may be excited for the sixth instalment of the slasher franchise but more casual fans like myself who only dip in and out are not infatuated enough to get on board with a mediocre sequel. Ghostface needs to take a long hard look at Michael Myers and ask "do I want this to be me?" because that's the road Scream hurtling towards.

The "sequel to the requel" no one asked for but we got anyway. Picking up from Scream V, the survivors leave Woodsboro behind and are now trying to move on with their lives in New York. But the constant media online conspiracies and the continued fascination with the slasher movies has now led to another serial killer fulfilling their fantasy on Halloween.

Absolutely all the Scream tropes are there, from the blonde doing everything wrong to people with seemingly mortal stab wounds running around whilst not dropping dead from blood loss. Also in there is the return of some legacy characters, no not Neve Campbell, the other ones. If you really care, check out the poster, I'm sure they're stuffed onto it somewhere. And of course, there's the resident horror movie buff that lays out the plot for you, all while the movie pokes fun at itself at every opportunity. Yep you're watching a Scream movie alright, just not a very good one unfortunately.

Whereas Scream V was a surprisingly enjoyable sequel to a jaded franchise, Scream VI is stupid and annoying with an ending that may cause some viewers eyeballs to roll into the back of your head and stay there. It's nothing close to scary, not funny and the characters are very hard to care about. For me there's almost nothing working for it, the subway scene was decent but that's about it. All I felt watching Scream VI was "why are they still making these damned movies and why am I still watching them?" Enough now lads, this has to stop.

Scream VI is gory and certainly has enough stabbings to classify it as a slasher movie but the plot is terrible and just when you think it can't get worse, it does. Overall this sequel was not as ambitious enough as it should have been, not good enough considering we're now at the sixth movie of a franchise that pretty much follows the exact same formula each time. It's just another reminder that the franchise needs to hang up its mask and call it a day. Recommended for diehard fans of the Scream franchise.… Expand
