Quickly, as expected, our protagonists, as well as new friends Ethan (Jack Champion), Anika (Devyn Nekoda), Quinn (Liana Liberato), and Danny (Josh Segarra), must escape the brutal tactics of the new urban Ghostface, and discover their identity with the help of NYPD Detective Bailey (Dermot Mulroney) and FBI Special Agent and surprise Scream 4 survivor Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere). While Tara, Mindy, and Chad look to move on, Samantha struggles as corners of the internet have created conspiracy theories that Samantha was the orchestrator of the Woodsboro killings, and that Richie and Amber were merely innocent pawns, helped not by Gale Weathers’s (Courteney Cox) less-than-flattering book about the murders (of which she said she would not write, but did). L-R: Melissa Barrera (“Sam Carpenter”), Jenna Ortega (“Tara Carpenter”), Jasmin Savoy Brown (“Mindy Meeks-Martin”) and Mason Gooding (“Chad Meeks-Martin”) star in Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group’s SCREAM VI.Ī year after the Woodsboro requel killings, the now aptly titled “Core Four” survivors, Samantha (Melissa Barrera), her sister Tara (Jenna Ortega), and twins Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and Chad (Mason Gooding), all have relocated to New York either for school, or in Samantha’s case, to protect Tara while she attends school. Jasmin Savoy-Brown’s Mindy says plainly that requel sequels have to go much bigger, badder, and bolder than before, but is taking the franchise to such big heights so soon biting off more than the franchise can chew?

#Radio silence movie 2012 series
Looking to re-capture lightning in a bottle, Radio Silence wasted no time in concocting their follow-up to Scream (2022), returning the series to its numbered titles with Scream VI (stylized cleverly as SCREAI VI), and transporting the survivors of the 2022 Woodsboro killings to the Big Apple, setting Ghostface loose in an urban jungle.

Now, not only has Scream returned, it is thriving with a hot new cast, as well as legacy characters intertwining their stories as new lovers of the Ghostface murders continue to wreak havoc on our protagonists. Following Craven’s death in 2015, most believed we would never see another Scream film again, and especially following the downfall of Dimension Films with the Weinstein scandal of 2017, it seemed almost certain. When Radio Silence (the teaming of directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and producing partner Chad Villella) made the 2022 requel (of the film’s own words), they accomplished what many believed was impossible: they captured the spirit that Wes Craven so lovingly imbued into the first four Scream films with their own stylish flair. Radio Silence’s “Scream VI” moves the thrills and bodybags away from Woodsboro and onto an exciting new path.Ĭaution: I will obviously not be discussing spoilers to this film, because I’m not cruel and the whole point of these films is the fun “whodunnit” of it all, but I am somewhat forced to discuss some spoilers from Scream (2022), as it directly contributes to the plot of Scream VI.
