SCREAM VI
Cert: 18 | ★★★✩✩

Like Halloween, the Scream movies are a horror franchise that won’t die with each sequel over the past three decades trying to outdo the last in gore and senseless killings.

This latest instalment in the Woodboro saga comes a mere 12 months after the last, and its protagonists are once again in the crosshairs of the Ghostface killer.

This time, though, the action takes place in New York where sisters Sam (Melissa Barrera) and Tara (Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega) Carpenter hope to start a new life. In the company of their hometown friends Mindy and Mason, they find themselves at the centre of a killing spree in which people are murdered by a person in a ghost mask.
