Scream VI (2023) | Film Review | Eerie Extras

In this Eerie Extra, hosts Katherine Troyer and Toni Tresca review the 2023 horror film Scream VI. (Because, let's face it, as long as they make Scream films, we'll be watching Scream films.)

 

We discuss our thoughts on the latest film (to date) in the franchise and how we think that the sixth installment fits into, contributes to, and occasionally takes away from the larger Scream narrative. We talk about the awesomeness of having scream queen Samara Weaving in the cold opening, and what it was like for Katherine to watch a scene about a horror film professor having a run-in with Ghostface. We talk about "The Core Four" and how this film--much more than Scream (2022)--establishes these characters as the primary characters (rather than the newcomers) of this world. And we talk about how this film--as do all Scream films--continues to ask us to think about the slipperiness of the past, the challenges of media, and the trauma of having a family.

This episode first aired on July 28, 2023. (It was actually recorded in May 2023, but then we went on vacation.) 

 

Thank you to the stupendous Jackson O'Brien, whose editing always ensures we sound smarter for our listeners then we do in real life.
